Have to agree with previous Yelpers this place is great and truly deserves your support! I had the BBQ Chicken Vietnamese Sandwich and a fresh made mango smoothie! It was fabulous! Just $7 for a full meal! The food was great, the smoothies are made…More »
2. Nick's Crispy Tacos
I admit it, after reading all the other reviews on Nick's Crispy Tacos I expected to be more of a dive! The place has character, red booths, full bar ect.
Don't even bother ordering a reguar taco, you need to get it "Nick's way," crispy and covered…More »

(415) 550-6971
Category:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt

How did it take me sooo long to find this place? Seriously good ice cream! We decided to venture out to find it in the rain. Now ice cream may not sound appealing on a cold rainy day. However, not having to stand in that crazy line for Humphry…More »
4. Amoeba Music
San Francisco, CA 94117
(415) 831-1200
Category:
Music & DVDs
Neighbourhood: Haight-Ashbury
Yes, I admit it I have to avoid Amoeba! It's a dangerous place that could easily have a negative effect on my ability to pay rent!

6. Candy Darling - CLOSED
Truly my favorite little sweet shop in the city! And unfortunately, I live only one very short block away. Just walking past this place will test your willpower! The delicious smells floating out of the shop are truly irresistible! It's a great…More »
7. Golden Gate Fortune Cookies
You have to appreciate the novelty of this place! It's just a small Fortune Cookie Factory in the heart of Chinatown. A bit hard to find but worth the adventure!
Where else will you find strawberry and chocolate fortune cookies? Fresh sample from the…More »
8. Golden Gate Bridge
I don't think you are allowed to give the Golden Gate Bridge anything less than 5 stars. It's the Golden Gate Bridge after all, a landmark and truly the only Golden Gate Bridge out there.
I love taking my out of town guest to the bridge! It's fun to…More »

10. L's Caffe
San Francisco, CA 94110
(415) 206-0274
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Mission
L's is one of those places you almost don't want to yelp about out of fear that the secret will be out and ruin the place. Unlike it's neighbor's sugarlump and Phil's, L's can always be counted on for fast, reliable internet. Truth be told it was the…More »
11. La Corneta Taqueria
After six years in Phoenix, I feel like I'm allowed to be a little picky about my Mexican food. I've tried several little Taqueria's while living in San Francisco and most disappoint. However, I just love La Corneta! It's one of the few things I miss…More »
12. Doc's Clock
It's a fun laid back bar with a good bartending team. Affordable prices and fun holiday drink menu. Peppermint Schnapps & hot coco? YES!!! Just a nice chill place to end the night!

I tried two today with my Gilbralter!

14. Papalote Mexican Grill
After six years in Phoenix, it's a relief to find all the wonderful taquerias in the Mission. I had the shrimp burrito with black beans, peppers and rice. It was very good.
Pros:

Fast Take Out
Take Credit Cards
Cons
The only salsa option is…More »
15. Volcano
San Francisco, CA 94121
(415) 752-7671
Category:
Japanese

This place gets one star for being super clean & speedy, one star for the extremely affordable price, and two stars because the food is really good.

San Francisco, CA 94122
(415) 681-5652
Category:
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Inner Sunset
So I finally tried this place after a friend declared it her favorite place in SF! Not being a big fan of sandwiches it wouldn't have been my first choice of cuisine. But it would be fair to say I'm now a fan of Yellow Subs.
I had the steak and…More »

San Francisco, CA 94102
Categories:

There are two things you can always count on San Francisco for - great food & lots of entertainment options. The Secret Improv Society is one of those good options. It's affordable and just a fun evening out. Improv is never an easy task as you are…More »
20. Whiz Burgers Drive-In
Whiz Burger is a place that you don't want to admit to enjoying. It's an old fashioned drive it and fast food at it's greasiest. However, it's a San Francisco classic and when you are up for a splurge (I do mean calories, not cash) it's worth it!…More »

(415) 834-9778
Category:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: Embarcadero
Love their selection of unique flavors! They always have something seasonal to try. My favorites are fig with balsamic vinegar, pistachio & pumpkin! Go on a weekday when the crowds are more managable.
26. Grubstake
Great option for late night dining. Has the cheesey but fun renovated street car vibe. I really enjoyed the Grubstake hot sauce. And while I haven't tried any of their Portuguese food. I can honestly say their burgers and sandwhiches are good. Solid…More »
27. Pronto Pizza & Espresso
San Francisco, CA 94109
(415) 921-1999
Category:
Pizza
Neighbourhood: Civic Center/Tenderloin
They deliver until 3 AM. That's what you really need to know. The pizza is decent - not awful, not great - just decent. I'd stick with their pizza and garlic bread. The salads aren't very fresh. However, if you're up that late and need a snack it's a…More »
28. Sam Wo Restaurant - CLOSED
Eating here you feel like you are dining in someone's grandmothers kitchen. The food is good but the service is well unique. Sometimes you feel welcome, sometimes you feel like a house guest that has overstayed their welcome. I will say that there…More »
29. El Farolito
The food is good and super affordable. I got chip, salsa, a large carne asada burrito and flan for under $10! Now that's a price I can't argue with.
However don't be fooled by the advertised wifi. First off you need a credit card to access it.…More »
30. Naan-N-Curry
San Francisco, CA 94122
(415) 664-7225
Let's just say that I'm a fan of the price but not the food. Yes, I love the idea of cheap Indian Food! Who doesn't? But sometimes you get exactly what you paid for!
I'm a fan of the Naan-N-Curry near Union Square. However, I think when offering…More »
31. Ike's Place
I'm not a big sandwich person, given the choice I will almost always order something else. But I will trek across town during the Muni rush hour for Ike's! It's worth it trust me! The kid sis and I decided to go for the first time and wow was I…More »
