Eater: When a "hole-in-the-wall" turns out to be a bright family-run stop with outrageously good tortas and super authentic Puebla eats; that's 38 material. [Eater 38 Member] Read more.

Eater: Since it opened, F+W has been making waves with its sophisticated pizzas and pasta, but even more impressive is that it's lived up to the hype. [Eater 38 Member] Read more.

Eater: You can make the argument that no restaurant in the last decade has changed the dining landscape quite like Delfina and its pizzeria offshoot next door. And that's a good thing. [Eater 38 Member] Read more.

Eater: The creative crudo spins, addictive clam chowder and airy atmosphere are always enlivening. [Eater 38 Member]

Benjamin Ortiz: OMG. The breakfast (what it is called) is so good. All the dishes and sides pair so well.

Sean Rouse: Try the Morning Salad - Poached egg, diced pastrami on a bed of mixed greens. It's a nice low carb alternative to the Deli Hash.

Ira Serkes: After you're done at the Apple Store, turn right and visit Builders Booksource, one of my favorite Architectural Book stores on West Coast. Tell George Ira says hi and you learned about it on 4Square

SFist: The fried chicken sandwich, with its spicy-tangy jalapeno slaw, made this place practically world famous in the last half-decade, and every day they're open, at lunchtime, that's what the line is for. Read more.
