It’s spring in the Mission, and the days are finally stretching their legs. That golden-hour glow—the one that used to be gone before you even left work—is now hitting at a much more respectable time.

The blue and gold is about to hit the road again. Not the Golden State Warriors —now enjoying a late-season boost— but the Mission’s own 2024 fútbol sweethearts El Farolito SC. Arguably the best soccer team in the city of San Francisco, the beloved taquería’s amateur squad plays its first-round U.S. Open Cup match against the Real Monarchs, an affiliate of the Major League Soccer club Real Salt Lake, on March 19. The game will be in the Salt Lake City suburb of Herriman, Utah.
