Could it get any better?! That's what I kept asking myself during lunch at Papitos.

In my usual fashion, I sampled of a bit of everything on my first visit. Every single thing was amazing. And if you need more proof, check out my photos.

I didnt think there were any great Mexican restaurants left that I didn't already know about. But Yelpers seemed to love this place, so I gave it a try for my birthday.

My mom is the ultimate judge because she cooks alot of these dishes at home, so if…More »

If this was a report card, Don Pisto's would get an A. I have so many favorite restaurants in this area already, and Don Pisto's adds yet another reason for me to love North Beach.

One of the best Mexican joints in SF. And I know what real Mexican food is supposed to taste like - these guys are authentic through and through. Their ingredients are fresh and better yet, their margaritas are strong! Just the way I like them :)…More »

I'm trying to stay away from the typical greasy, cheesy Mexican fare that I love so much. So I decided to check out Chilango since they seemed to offer fresher, healthier options. I was pleasantly surprised to read on their menu that they serve only…More »

Neighbourhood: Financial District

Mercedes is one of those where-have-you-been-all-my-lif e type of places. It's unexpected. The salsa music, outdoor tables, bright decor and kitchy dog art make you forget you're smack-dab in the middle of the FiDi (financial district).

"Wow! It's alot bigger than I thought it would be." (insert pun here)

I am, of course, referring to the monstrous size of Nick's crispy tacos. I've had my fare share of tacos, but never like this. About the size of 1/2 a burrito, these crispy taco…More »

Low carb burritos!! A happy dance is in order, bitches!

Now this is what I call tacos! I've been coming here since high school in the late 90's, and they haven't changed a bit (this is a good thing)

I must admit, I used to be thrown off by the the fact that their decor consists of scantily clad pics of…More »

Gimmicky yet oh-so-appropriately named, Tacolicious is everything is name promises it to be.

I finally caught them at the Thursday Ferry Building farmer's market, and the line wasn't terribly long. In my usual fashion, I sampled a bit of everything.

Hands down, the BEST taqueria in SF. I've been coming here for well over 10 years and their quality is still the best, their burritos are still huge, and they still have that same Mission ambiance I grew up with that I love so dearly.

They are the…More »
