The Mission and Market ones are affiliated.

What about La Taqueria?

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 20 May 2004 22:32 (twenty years ago) link

Cancun rocks -- there are two in the Mission, one around 18th and one below Cesar Chavez.

El Metate in the Mission (Bryant and, what, 21st? 22nd?) is a fine newish addition to the list, though I wouldn't say "best".

But Alex OTM about the Al Pastor...

yeah really @d@m, cancun in berkeley is just about as good as they get (note that I can only speak of veggie burritos). but the balazo burrito with cactus: hmmmmmm! Please destroy: 360 degree Gourmet Burrito mini chain shit, with it's raw onions and cold rice.

Wait, wait...Y'all do know about Mom is Cooking, right? Not necessarily great on the burrito end, but best Mexican food in SF, easy.

my favorite is cancun but since that's already well represented how about some mentions of el toro and my old local haunt - el taco loco

el mariachi on 16th is good

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 20 May 2004 22:45 (twenty years ago) link

i wrote farolito way upthread last july but it changes all the time (although if you like real mexican food like sesos, lengua, and menudo you will not be dissapointed with farolito!)

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Saturday, 25 September 2004 17:29 (twenty years ago) link

hott!

I keep hearing a lot about The Lovemakers! and one of them is like, British. And I don't live very from The Mile High Club and have always wanted to go...

― adam. (nordicskilla), Saturday, 25 September 2004 17:34 (twenty years ago) link

The Lovemakers make out on stage!!! (they're pretty good too). Leslie is very nice and approachable.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Saturday, 25 September 2004 17:42 (twenty years ago) link

(I should have put this on the Oakland thread)

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Saturday, 25 September 2004 17:52 (twenty years ago) link

Okay, this is kind of a long shot but...do any of the SF posters have a digital video camera that I could use for, like, half an hour? Heh.

I only have a European camera and need an NTSC cam to dump some footage onto my laptop.

Whenever I pass on stuff like this to my mistress it means another boring hour of bootlicking before she puts the clamps on my nipples and starts whipping my nuts but if you think it's important....

― Michael White (Hereward), Monday, 11 October 2004 21:38 (twenty years ago) link

BOOTLICKING NEVER GETS BORING!

― JaXoN (JasonD), Monday, 11 October 2004 21:41 (twenty years ago) link

THE FIRST REAL SAMPLE SALE SAN FRANCISCO HAS EVER SEEN

― adam. (nordicskilla), Monday, 11 October 2004 21:42 (twenty years ago) link

BOOTLICKING NEVER GETS BORING!
It's after the bootlicking and whipping when she makes you post ads on your favorite board that it get's boring.

THE FIRST REAL SAMPLE SALE SAN FRANCISCO HAS EVER SEEN
Why does this sound like disinformation/hyperbole to me?

― Michael White (Hereward), Monday, 11 October 2004 21:49 (twenty years ago) link

THOSE OTHER'S WERE IMAGINARY!!

― JaXoN (JasonD), Monday, 11 October 2004 21:51 (twenty years ago) link

Is this like Trader Joes where I can eat the samples?

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 11 October 2004 22:03 (twenty years ago) link

YES!

― JaXoN (JasonD), Monday, 11 October 2004 22:14 (twenty years ago) link

my wife would probably go to this but we are moving that day.

You thought he was Osama, didn't you? I admire your patriotism, even if it is misplaced.

i was walking down the street today and some guy asked me if my last name was Levine. i said, 'no, but i know a Levine. who are you looking for?' he was looking for a Mark, some friend of his that he hadn't seen in 10 years.

i say anti-semitism. what, all (1/2)jews look alike?!

― JaXoN (JasonD), Tuesday, 12 October 2004 01:25 (twenty years ago) link

Don't know any Marks, sorry.

― adam. (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 12 October 2004 01:28 (twenty years ago) link

one year passes...

hi! Waht is recommended place for eating near Broadway/Van Ness? That is where my hotel is and I'm thinking on Sunday when I get in we're not gonna want to do too much wandering for tiredness. Someone recommended me something along the lines of Okozu, Okozo Sushi? Doesn't have to be sushi recs though! It would be appreciated...

I wish I could remember the name of the whole-in-the-wall Indian place we ate it as it was seriously the best Indian food I've ever eaten in the US. Also it was ridiculously cheap; I think the entrees were something like $4 each.

― Dan (Num Num) Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 29 March 2006 20:22 (eighteen years ago) link

Wow is my neighborhood "Russian Hill"? That is the coolest neighborhood name, hooray!

― Allyzay Rofflesberger (allyzay), Wednesday, 29 March 2006 20:24 (eighteen years ago) link

Actually you should go to Sausalito and eat here.

― Dan (Hmm) Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 29 March 2006 20:27 (eighteen years ago) link

Here's the place we went! It was AWESOME. I have no idea how close it is to your hotel, though.

― Dan (Best Indian Food Ever) Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 29 March 2006 20:27 (eighteen years ago) link

Don't go to sushi on Sundays!!!!

Ozoke is okay. Go the other direction (west) towards Japantown, specifically Ino upstairs at the Miyako Mall.

Indian/Pakistanian food is all over the tenderloin (the tandoorloin). Shalimar's really good.

Your hotel's neighborhood is VAN NESS/BROADWAY. It's in between Russian Hill/NobHill/Tenderloin/Pacific Heights.

There's a great restaurant near there called Street. Nick's Crispy Tacos is Jax0n's favorite eatery around there. Harris' Steakhouse if you feel like meat.

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Wednesday, 29 March 2006 20:30 (eighteen years ago) link

There are about 7 Naan N Curry's in SF. It won't be hard to find one.

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Wednesday, 29 March 2006 20:31 (eighteen years ago) link

Well we will be heading that direction at some point so it's good to have recommendations!! We're there the entire week, Sunday-Sunday. You just made my stomach growl for indian food.

xpost Ino? I will remember that one, you are the best with sushi recs. I really didn't even consider the sunday + sushi being hmmmy proposition angle though. I'm having a long day.

I'm going to bookmark this thread and try to remember some of the names of recommended spots so while I'm walking around if I spot one I can try it out.

― Allyzay Rofflesberger (allyzay), Wednesday, 29 March 2006 20:34 (eighteen years ago) link

It's not close at all, but there is a Naan'N'Curry (it's basically the same) down on Jackson and Columbus which is not ridiculously far away.

Broadway & Van Ness is kind of tough. I seem to remember a good Vietnamese place on Polk around there (oh I just checked Dan's link--it's called Lemon Grass) and you are a short-ish walk to Hyde St and there are a bunch of nice-ish bistros (1550 Hyde is supposed to be good and I like the tapas at Zarzuela) around there. If you want expensive beef the House of Prime Rib is well uh excessive.

Tommy's Joint is the only place you need!! Best bison stew EVAH. It's the genuine Gold Rush experience, drinking hard liquor while you clog your arteries with game meat.

Ally's staying in the Pac-Russian Tender Nob?

― Yoo Doo Nut (donut), Wednesday, 29 March 2006 20:39 (eighteen years ago) link

It's easier to say she's staying on 101.

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Wednesday, 29 March 2006 20:41 (eighteen years ago) link

Andy, have you ever been to the hot tubs? Be honest.

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Wednesday, 29 March 2006 20:43 (eighteen years ago) link

That goes for Alex too (I know you grew up here).

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Wednesday, 29 March 2006 20:44 (eighteen years ago) link

you should spend the whole time walking around going "Frisco... Frisco..." a la Dr. Dre
