I visited El Tucan last week, the second restaurant from the much-loved East Bay taco spot in Richmond run by brothers Alfredo and Edgar Padilla.The counter-service restaurant, on the vibey corner of Market and 16th streets near the Lookout, specializes in Tijuana-style tacos and slow-cooked birria.What I tried: The quesabirria is the signature snack here. The handmade tortilla is filled with eight-hour-slow-cooked beef birria and dipped in a mild chili sauce before frying (hence the "red taco" name).It's definitely worth ordering with a side of consommé for dipping — the zingy soup is the perfect counterpoint to the rich beef.The standout: The quesataco adobada — a layer of crispy fried cheese with a second handmade tortilla layer, filled with al pastor pork and cilantro dressing. This was honestly one of the tastiest tacos I've ever had.Go deeper: Check out my full video on Axios SF's Instagram!

A new ice cream spot in Bridgeport serves up Dairy Queen-style soft serve, minus the dairy.On the menu: Runaway Cow has plant-based soft serve cones, sundaes, snowstorms (like a Blizzard) and ice cream sandwiches.The bite: "The Elvis," vanilla ice cream topped with banana slices, homemade peanut butter topping, ground nuts, whipped cream, and a cherry. ($9.99) Banana split. Photo: Carrie Shepherd/AxiosThe intrigue: Co-owner Alison Eichhorn tells Axios her family owned a DQ in Lansing, Illinois, where she honed her soft serve chops and can whip up a brownie fudge sundae lickety-split.Eichhorn had been on the hunt for tasty vegan, gluten-free ice cream and figured growing up in the biz gave her a leg up.The verdict: Yummy! In my experience it's difficult to master creaminess for dairy or dairy-free soft serve as it's often too icy, but Runaway Cow does it, and the whipped cream tastes creamy and naturally sweet.If you go: Runaway Cow, 608 W. 31st St. in Bridgeport.
