Food scene
While you're visiting head down to Parras and ask for a Tlayuda. These are a delicious handmade dish from the City of Oaxaca in Mexico. A Tlayuda consists of a large, thin, crunchy, toasted tortilla covered with a spread of refried beans, lettuce or cabbage, avocado, meat, Oaxaca cheese, and salsa. This is a pretty good little explainer video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKMG-gyPcFk

This is a hole in the wall with run-down tables and chairs, and an enormous Plastic Marlin on the wall. If you're seeking atmosphere and decor, don't go. But, if you want DELICIOUS Mexican food This is for you. I've never had anything bad here. It's worth ordering a Michelada (kind of like a bloody mary with beer) while you're there, they make the best ones in town. This is authentic Mexican food.

A great place for 360-degree views of the Bay Area. You can see the whole San Francisco skyline, the Bay Bridge, and even catch a glimpse of the Golden Gate Bridge on clear days.
The temple itself looks pretty unique with its white spires and intricate designs. During the day, you can stroll around the beautiful gardens and take in the peaceful vibe. But the best part might be at night when the temple's lit up – those spires against the night sky are something else!
