1. Off The Grid 2nd Street
Update: The good times at lunch have ended...they opened for about four months as originally planned. :!
Daily at lunch hours between 11am-2pm. They will be here for at least four months, possibly five? Two different trucks show up each day.
I did…More »
2. Taco Bell / KFC
update: the chicken pieces are smaller, the biscuit is smaller. The new Peach Frutista Freeze was pretty good; chunks of peaches in a creamy slushy.
The food here is what you'd expect, depending on your personal situation ITTET. If you can afford…More »
3. B & M Mei Sing Restaurant
If lunch-wanting Chinese foods, I'd go here even though there are substitutes closer to work. I recommend ordering from the listed menu, since items are freshly made. The made-when-order chow fun ($7.17 for any version) brings me back.
OTOH, I was…More »
4. Los Compadres Taco Truck
Update: they now have a second truck located at the parking lot on 2nd Street (between Folsom and Harrison streets) - a couple of blocks away from one another!
Three taqueria tacos for $5, in SOMA? Deal! I got two al pastor tacos and a chorizo taco (…More »
5. Lee's Deli
Three stars, average, as sometimes the food is meh and sometimes decent for cheap lunch. But, it gets the extra star as I lunch here 1-2x a week...not because I want to but because I have to (hey, it's convenient on busy workdays!), otherwise there…More »
6. Wendy's
So odd to find a highly-rated large-fast-food-chain in DC/SF. This place is easy to find, roomy, clean, has quick service, and most importantly good fast-food (i.e., the bacon cheeseburger, chicken nuggets, the fries, the chili, the sour cream &…More »
7. Rainbow Way Restaurant and Bar
San Francisco, CA 94107
(415) 882-1518
Categories:
Bars,
American (New)
Neighbourhood: SOMA
The pho here is surprisingly good! Yelper DL and I got the #4=pho tai bo vien (rare flank steak and pork meat balls). Three stars average, and I'd definitely return if do not have a lot of time to go elsewhere.
However, the rare flank beef was more…More »
8. In-N-Out Burger
Update: The last couple of trips they have been skimpy on the chopped chiles; did not add to the burgers as requested, did not have on the side as requested - repeated the order many times . Quality control has gone down?
- Chopped chilies…More »
9. Quizno's
Really three stars, but location bias gives it one more. If there were more seating it would be my go-to Quizno's. It's pretty much a order-to-go place in the Lakeshore Shopping Center.
There is one table for two on the right next to the chips stand…More »
10. Vietnam Too Restaurant - CLOSED
San Francisco, CA 94109
(415) 885-1274
Category:
Vietnamese
Neighbourhood: Civic Center/Tenderloin
Update: Closed. "Sao Bien" (http://www.yelp.com/bi...) took over the space.
The best "bún riêu" (http://www.yelp.com/bi...) in the Bay Area. Their version has a nice balance of rice noodle, soup base, tomatoes, tofu. However, they skimped on the mint…More »
11. Com Tam Thien Huong
Opened two months, this is my new default VNese com tam = "broken rice" plates* eatery!
- The #42 ("thit nuong"=charbroiled pork, "bi"=thinly shredded pork skin, "tau hu ky"=fried shrimp wrapped with bean curd skin, "chao tom"=grilled shrimp paste on…More »
12. El Farolito
Updates on pricing, as of 04-JUN-11:
- regular tacos are $2.40
- regular burritos are $5.95
- beers are now $3.20
- medium (20-oz) horchata is $1.75
My favorite location of all the EF's. The standard is always three, sometimes four, al pastor tacos…More »

Categories:
Food Stands,

Neighbourhood: Financial District
update: follow the KFT truck - well, all taco trucks really - on your iPhone or iPod Touch with this app (http://tacoloco.info/).
So, I went to some UYE and the KFT truck was there! Got to try their roast duck tacos for the first time and really liked…More »
14. Pho Ha Vietnamese Restaurant
This is where I go for pho in the Story Rd/McLaughlin Ave area of San Jose. The pho is as good as can get (my default is "pho tai nam" with a large bowl of beef meatballs and a bowl of oil on the side, boiled bean spouts), the service prompt, the…More »
15. Taqueria Cancún
Haven't return in a while, so when a mini-bar crawl ended (Mission Bar, Lone Palm, Doc's Clock), was glad the remainders stopped in here for some tacos (http://www.yelp.com/bi...). This place gives El Farolito's regular al pastor tacos a run for its…More »
16. Valerio's Tropical Bakeshop
- Pan de Sal slice bread (http://www.yelp.com/bi...).
- Chocolate Nut Cake (http://www.yelp.com/bi...) is similar to a walnut brownie.
- A bag of Pan de Sal (http://www.yelp.com/bi...) is my standard.
- A Bulilit bread-Pimiento is like a cheese-filled…More »
17. Zog's Dogs
San Francisco, CA 94104
(415) 391-7071
Update: $4.35 for my favorite, the German frankfurter (http://www.yelp.com/bi...), though I added the condiments, hehe.
They have all kinds of hotdog-related items, from hot links to sausages to specialty hotdogs to:
- Matrix = bacon inside the bun (…More »
18. Blondie's Pizza
That pepperoni pizza is the ish. Nice amount of pepperoni, fluffy crust but not too thick or doughy and just enough oiliness (sp?) to remind you what a pizza should look like. Added a slice of the Mediterranean to complete the four food groups.
Don't…More »

Categories:
American (New),

Neighbourhoods: Union Square, SOMA
I'm here on four out of five trips to the Westfield Shopping Center's food court. Sometimes it's for the 6-oz. Char-Roasted Sirloin Tri-Tip Regular ($12.95), sometimes the same but a "small-plate" version ($7.95), sometimes it's for the Chicken &…More »
20. Bun Bo Hue Quan Ngon Vietnamese Noodle House - CLOSED
San Francisco, CA 94122
(415) 665-9431
Category:
Vietnamese
Neighbourhood: Outer Sunset
If can't go to SanJo, this is where I'd go for (#11) as it's consistent, though it is not as salty as I'd prefer (not enough MSG, ey?). Too bad it's not ideal when sick; the soup may help but the oil and spiciness will kick your cough up a couple of…More »
21. Buster's
San Francisco, CA 94133
(415) 392-2800
Categories:
American (Traditional),
Cheesesteaks
Neighbourhood: North Beach/Telegraph Hill
Dang it was a deal for N.Beach: two import beers for $3, or two domestic beers for $2 (just come here for the beer specials if anything). For us, three beers each, a basket of freshly-cooked fries and a Chiladelphia cheeseteak equal a full belly and…More »
22. Cafe Colma
Colma, CA 94014
(650) 758-2237
Categories:
Filipino,
Chinese,
American (Traditional)
$10.95 for a VNese seafood noodle soup (the menu did not specify, but it's the fuh noodle, rather than egg noodle). Not bad as the last time I had seafood with fuh noodles was probably in Reno years ago. Tastes pretty good if only for once in a…More »
23. Cali Pho Nia
San Francisco, CA 94118
(415) 221-7111
Category:
Vietnamese
Neighbourhood: Inner Richmond
I liked the pho tai nam (http://www.yelp.com/bi...). Just the right amount of meats vs. noodles in a tasty broth that was steaming hot. The noodle was not a clump either, so it was easy to break them apart when mixing the veggie condiments and sauces…More »
24. Carl's Jr.
This is a good location to prep yourself for the trip elsewhere, after you've been to the pubs or restaurants around the S First St area. It is good for you and for the public's safety. And, can get their greasy foods if still inclined!
The restroom…More »
25. Chipotle Mexican Grill
You can get very full (burrito, soda, chips/salsa) for less than $10 after tax. The carnitas burrito was so good (added everything, yeah that's the way to go, but left the salsa to the side to add while eating), I'm returning just for it,…More »
26. D & A Cafe
San Francisco, CA 94118
(415) 668-7882
Category:
Chinese
Neighbourhood: Inner Richmond
We all shared a few items and the total bill was less than $20:
- Sauteed yao-choy(?)/pea shoots with garlic, and a plate of cold spicy beef tendon plate (http://www.yelp.com/bi...). Any green-leaf veggie sauteed in garlic is always good. The spicy…More »
27. Rosario Restaurant
San Francisco, CA 94112
(415) 334-1863
Category:
Latin American
Neighbourhood: Mission Terrace
Pupusas were average? I don't know since don't get to eat pupusas often, but would return due to this enchilada and taco plate (http://www.yelp.com/bi...). The pupusas (http://www.yelp.com/bi...) were okay, not super excited and not thumbs down.…More »
28. Dumpling Kitchen
I don't eat dumplings often but would consider coming here if given the chance or choice. We ordered three types of dumplings and a soup, but it was plenty of food:
- xiao long bao=Shanghai-style steamed pork dumplings was $6/10pcs (good, as…More »
29. El Faro
San Francisco, CA 94108
(415) 391-1767
Category:
Mexican
Neighbourhood: Financial District
I don't think it is that pricey considering its location - smacked dab in FiDi - the portion size makes up for it, yea. But a caveat, it may be too much for lunch, hah, couldn't finish the super burrito! Their salsa is amazing and I would return just…More »
30. El Farolito
Really three stars as this is my lowest rated of all the EF locations. A regular taco is $1.95 cheap (or was), but that saving is offset by the 50 cents charge for chips! The condiments bar is not fully loaded, and it lacked cut radishes. Still, I'd…More »
31. El Farolito Taqueria
The stars are mostly for the atmosphere=divy-ish, friendliness, comp chips and cleanliness. I'd go out of the way for any taqueria that has those four criteria.
As for the standard al pastor tacos, they were super piping hot and piled with pork and…More »
32. El Tonayense Taco Truck
Definitely filled the need for spicy al pastor taco cravings, though three tacos did not seem like enough afterward. At $1.75 a pop, it's cheaper than at the taquerias themselves. Next time, I'm getting four. They give you the tacos on a paper plate…More »
33. Genki Crepes
San Francisco, CA 94118
(415) 379-6414
The ginger milk tea (no pearls) is really good. That's all I can say in this matter. The cheesecake with blueberry sauce crepe (http://www.yelp.com/bi...) was rich as expected. While very good, I couldn't finish it.
The crepes serving area is at the…More »
34. Great Eastern Restaurant
San Francisco, CA 94133
(415) 986-2500
An average Chinese restaurant for the area, which does not necessarily mean it's not good. Actually, the place is worthwhile for dinner (don't know about dimsum). Dishes that are attractive and tasty (http://www.yelp.com/bi...) are all one needs at a…More »
35. Happy Bakery and Deli
Stopped in here based on recommendations of their soy sauce chicken. A whole chicken costs about $15, and is so good that "your parents will be very happy if you bring an order when visiting them...and not the light color chicken, but the darker…More »
36. Home of Chicken and Waffles
Oakland, CA 94607
(510) 836-4446
If happened to be in the EBay I wouldn't mind returning, even with their long wait times and all. The #18=Homeboy for $10.25, with a side of candied yams for $3.95, was good and greasy (http://www.yelp.com/bi...). The foods here were good…More »
37. IHOP
update: The non-bfast foods are better IMO = the buttermilk popcorn shrimp and fries (http://static.px.yelp....). The burgers here are better than at Nation's (http://www.yelp.com/us...). For the new Am.football season, there's new bfast items (tried…More »
38. Irving Cafe & Deli
San Francisco, CA 94122
(415) 681-2326
Category:
Vietnamese
Neighbourhood: Outer Sunset
I usually order to-go their $5 banh cuon cha lua=steamed rice rolls w/"fancy" pork (http://www.yelp.com/bi...), which was not the best ever (that'll be in VN) nor worst ever (won't name names) but was decent enough for anywhere in SF - and they are…More »
39. Jollibee
update: the #2=2pcs of Chickenjoy w/2 sides and a soda costs $5.49 before tax. the #21=palabok w/soda also costs the same.
3.5 stars since eateries are closed early in the area. This is a decent enough place to stop-in or drive through depending on…More »
40. Kim's Sandwiches
On a visit to East SanJo for an appointment, decided to drop by the Lion Plaza's food court for some eatings, and to revisit this nearby sandwich shop. This place is a legitimate challenger to that famous VNese sandwich chain (starts with "L" and…More »
