If you’ve yet to make it over the Golden Gate to sample some of Joanne Weir’s fresh Mex at Copita Tequileria y Comida, perhaps 80-plus degree days will push you over the bridge. The timing couldn’t be better with new hours—starting bright and early at 10 am on Sundays in honor of football season—and a bar menu featuring snacks and ceviche. Whet your appetite with two of the house cocktails.
