Dogpatch Taco Hotspot Glena's Goes Full Service and More A.M. Intel

Glena’s Tacos and Margaritas is switching to table service

Stephanie and Michael Gaines, the former Kin Khao chef, opened their Dogpatch taco shop in February with a casual counter-service format, but starting Tuesday, August 8th, they’ll pivot to sit-down service.

After 35 years at 2181 Irving Street (at 23rd Avenue), Yum Yum Sushi House closed in 2015, and was later replaced by another sushi restaurant, Lazy Fish and Sushi.

A Hawaiian restaurant in the Dogpatch is popular and the New York Times is on it. The only new detail from the piece regarding Aina, which makes hay out of the fact that the restaurant doesn’t serve pineapple, is that chef Jordan Keao will start serving a tasting menu sometime “later this summer.”
