Not many Central American lunch spots in Maryland have their own mascot. But at El Viejo Central American Kitchen, the door, walls, and menus are decorated with images of the eponymous Viejo: a mustachioed, cap-wearing skeleton who looks like something Mexican illustrator José Guadalupe Posada might draw if he were commissioned by a baseball team. "El Viejo" (or "the old man") is the work of Henry Blanco, who graduated from the University of Maryland with an art degree.

SF isn't a late-night dining town. That's just a fact of life. But there are still great food options-even if those options are slim-for those who are working, drinking, dancing, or swan diving off a table while singing karaoke until late. So when you need something like pizza to offset the sweet margaritas or just want to inhale a burrito before knocking right out, head to one of these spots-they're open past 11pm.
