Small, intimate, very authentic church that is especially pretty at Christmastime when the ceilings are beautifully draped and there's a full-size nativity. It's a few blocks from the much larger Church of San Francisco on the same street. Photos without flash were allowed. We saw no other tourist and only a handful of locals. Glad we stopped!
