Hit the Ferry Building up every Thursday for the Tacolicious Taco Cart! Hint - Try the special taco fo the day, and a short-rib Taco.
The best burrito battle is a never-ending topic of conversation in our fair city, but judging by the enormously long but quickly moving line, Pancho Villa has already won the war. Read more.
Pretty authentic South Indian food. Try the Chana Bhatura- it's not on the menu. Best dish ever!
I'm not sure I'd choose it for lunch or dinner, but it's great for late-night burritos -- and huevos rancheros -- close to the Castro. Read more.
Casual, fun, happy. You can't go wrong with guacamole, tuna tostadas, filet mignon tacos, margarita picante. 3 other locations now but this is the first and the best. No reservations so be patient.
A bit costly (it is in an airport, after all), but the burgers are usually worth it. I always eat here whenever sending off relatives and family.
These guys are good. Not sure I'd say awesome. But definitely good. Order whichever super burrito you're feeling for.
Real nice place. Great food. Ask them to spice it up if you like your Thai food properly hot.
Have to remind myself to eat SLOW! Delicious bites. Try the Kabuli Nan & the Navrathan Korma.
Sizzling Chicken in Black Bean Sauce is superb as well as their Beef Chow Fun with Gravy...best Chinese food in Oakland.
Find Mariposa Baking's gluten-free pizza crusts, served at both Pizza Rustica's locations and topped with Rustica's stellar ingredients!
Great place for hanging out and watching the local action. No a quiet place, but good food, sometimes a band, and the food is good. (Brushetta is awesome!)
This joint contains single and double chrome-flat-top-grilled burgers that've drawn them well-deserved comparisons to In-N-Out. Read more.
I would order Gibraltar, a coffee drink that is highly milky version of espresso in a shot glass. It is not on the menu but it is way awesome not to try it.
It's hard, everything is good I keep getting the lemon iced oatmeal cookies lol stab the manager is very cool and great people run the place
Go for the sushi and check if they have sashimi which is usually pretty good there. Baked salmon another great one to try.
Get the golden albacore katsu from their specials menu. It's delicious and unlike anything I've found at another Japanese restaurant.
Decent Pho for the area. Good broth and good portions, but a little more $$ than I would normally pay for a bowl. That doesnt keep me from stopping by there for lunch about 2-3 times a week :) (via Sc Read more.
The meaty tomato Alfredo pizza is really good, I never would've thought so, it is. The pepperoni is great, and I really like the magic mushroom too.
Make sure to specify grilled veggie burrito or you will get the one with just beans, lettuce, sour cream and salsa. Grilled veggies FTW!
Best pizza on this side of Oakland! Not even in the same class as round table, pizza hut, or any other "fast food" pizza. Their sourdough crust is awesome, and their toppings are generous. Great pie!
Downtown leave you feeling weary? Find some refuge high above the streets here where the drinks are pricey but the view sublime.
Bohemian bar next to City Lights Bookstore. Good place to see some of San Francisco's finest characters. -Laurine Wickett, Top Chef
This fantastic dive bar from another era caters to the tourists, but we come here for the atmosphere, the cheap prices (cash only) and the bartenders. Opens at 7am!
If you identify with the statement "I really love great bread" get your body in motion to La Farine. The rustic baguette is the best bread you can buy. Anywhere. I heard a story about friend from Berk Read more.
Don't even bother opening the menu. Baja egg scrambler with sourdough toast. Anchor Steam. FIN.
Pick up some Cinnamon Crisps/Elephant Ears. If you love a sweet and flaky yet crisp treat that has the right amount of sugar, cinnamon and honey you will fall in love with these. I grew up on these!
Try the Bun Bo Hue if you like spicy, Pho Bo otherwise and check out the avocado smoothie too
There's up to ten trucks each day at the StrEat Food Park. Don't be shy to get something from more than just one truck!
Not sure if you have time to grab a cup of coffee or a morning scone? Drop by here! The Bart schedule is prominently displayed, and you can opt for a grab-n-go cup or a cup made to order!
