In my opinion, it's the best taqueria in the Mission, and the best house salsa (a creamy, smoky, spicy concoction). Not the cheapest, but really good. For Vegans, they have Soyrizo options. Try the chicken mole burrito. Their costs have gone up significantly post Covid so be forewarned.

It's not authentic and doesn't try to be. But damn if this place isn't consistently awesome. Try the braised beef tacos, fish tacos, beer can chicken tacos, and one of their 100+ tequila options. Indoor/Outdoor. Lunch on weekends and Dinner weeknights/weekends. Obama ate here once so there's that!

Located next to the Chapel, a live music venue that gets amazing bands (From Peter Hook and the Light (New Order) to Elvis Costello, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, and so many others, this is a fun place to go for brunch or dinner on the weekends, and dinner during the week. Great indoor/outdoor space. Good service, great cocktails.

Nice bodega with decent selection of to go drinks (beer, hard seltzer, non-alcoholic), snacks, etc. But their sandwiches rock. The Korean BBQ is sublime. This place has caught on over the years so there can be a line to get a sandwich... But it is worth it.

It's really, really good. And I'm a pizza snob. It's not NY. It's a CA spin on Italian. Try the soft serve (only available after 4 pm) too with olive oil and salt. Before you say "eeew" try it. Indoor/Outdoor. Gets pretty crowded on the weekends. But sometimes you get lucky...

Indulgent breakfast or brunch anyone? Plain Jane is a solid choice. Indoor/Outdoor seating. Almost always a line, but it moves pretty quickly (~15 mins?) Salads and sandwiches are good, but their pancake trio is tops. Bring your appetite for that as it's filling. Service can be good, but they're pretty overwhelmed on weekends.
