“Maria Isabel is the highly anticipated new restaurant from chefs Laura and Sayat Ozyilmaz of Dalida, [serving food drawing from Laura’s childhood in Mexico](/openings/211444/maria-isabel-san-francisco-new-restaurant-laura-sayat-ozyilmaz). The menu is an exploration of food from Guerrero and Sinaloa, with dishes like duck carnitas enmoladas and ceviche Acapulqueño. The duo also deep dives into maiz, or heirloom corn, infusing dishes with the grain, such as with the artichoke tetela made with gold masa and a take on the American Choco Taco that weaves in corn into the ice cream and masa waffle shell. * [Book a table](https://reservations.safegraph.com/reserve/249633?utm_source=safegraph&utm_ca”
