La Rondalla Starts From Scratch; Psycho Times 2; More!

THE MISSION - This Uptown Almanac report comes direct from the former site of La Rondalla now in a rather-exposed, pre-plywood phase. The space has been totally gutted and leveled and the owners are going to rebuild the thing. The plan is to make it "more modern" and to be open by Christmas. Joy! [UA]

MISSION EXTRA - Meanwhile SFoodie has the skinny on this cool-sounding taco pop-up of sorts at Amnesia tonight. Bi-rite is behind it. [SFoodie]

OPENING REPORT - Psycho Donuts of Campbell is opening an outpost in San Jose tonight. Sounds as if it's going to be quite the soiree with a free comedy performance called "Donut Stop Laughing" from ComedySportz and donut and wine pairings created by Poetic Wine Cellars. [NBC Bay Area]

NORTH BEACH - Tomasso's had a 75th anniversary party on Monday night and Boz Scaggs, Phil Kaufman, Peter Kaufman and Christine Pelosi all showed up for some celebratory pizza. Leah Garchick has the full report. [Chron]

FOOD TV - The Food Network will be filming something about Peruvian food on Monday at La Mar and you could be a part of it! Just go in for lunch or an early dinner. We do advise making a reservation. [Tierra Unica]
