THE RESTAURANT

Cenote was inspired by positive vibes and happy memories that Father - Daughter Duo, Randy, and Lauren, are reminded of when they think of Mexico. Initially, a place that was a favorite family vacation spot soon turned into concept inspiration for the two. As their Mexican vacations served as a time to be present with the family, take a break from the busyness of life, and provide some of the most wonderful views, nature, food, and drinks; they hope to bring those aspects into the heart of the Financial District for all to enjoy.

FAMILY OF BRANDS

Cenote will be the newest addition to the Negi's family of brands that are located downtown in San Francisco. The duo currently own and operate 3 other locations; 2 of which are Cafe Venue on Montgomery St and Fremont St and the third is called Local Roots, located in an alley off of California St. Randy has been serving the downtown crowd for over 35 years and his daughter has been involved for 7. Although faced with the challenges of the last few years in this demographic, they are beyond excited to be a part of the rebuilding of such a special place.

Our dishes heritage

At Cenote, our chef has carefully crafted well balanced, lighter and brighter versions of our favorite traditional dishes. Our cuisine is California driven and Mexico inspired. We source our proteins and produce locally, predominantly from farms in Petaluma, Salinas Valley and Monterey while incorporating rich, authentic Mexican flavors and spices. Our homemade sauces, dressings and salsas perfectly compliment our healthy salads, grain bowls and tortas which are packed with freshly prepared vegetables, grains and greens.
