SF bay area Indian: Pak Wan - 2 locations, Mission and Tenderloin. Same price as the rest, good portions, a cut above the competition. Won't give you face-melting spicy, but whatever, Indian restauranteurs are extra careful about hurting their white diners.. Get the Saag Paneer, Lamb Biryani, or Channa Masala. $25-30 for a meal for two. Mexican: *puts on boxing helmet, tapes knuckles* El Farolito - locations around SF and Oakland. Good size, good flavor. ~$13 for a burrito, coke and tip Cancun - locations around SF and Oakland. Close competitor to El Farolito. Same stuff, same prices, very close in quality $13 for burrito, coke, and tip El Gordo - Best taco truck in East Oakland. International & 42nd. Good prices, heavy portions, A+ style (they throw in a little grilled onion.) $10 for burrito, coke, and tip Thai: I'm not too familiar with the Thai in the bay, but I've been to a few Tuk Tuk Thai - Good food, so-so prices, will give you food as spicy as you ask for. ~$20 for entree, side, drink, and tip German: Walzwerk - East German eats in SF at South Van Ness & 15th. Top-notch food, excellent desserts, spendy. $60+ for a complete dinner for two Ethiopian: Red Sea - Oakland at Claremont & Telegraph. Good portions, good spice, good price. $30 for a meal for 2 with plenty of injera. Pizza: The pizza sucks here. Very very few places make the cut. Serrano's - SF at 21st and Valencia. Slices baked fresh, thin crust, big, good toppings. $3.50 for cheese, ~$5 for specialty slices, ~$25 for specialty pizzas. Arinell (aka Hesher Pizza) - SF and Berkeley. Cheap, thin crust New York or thick crust school cafeteria, really solid for the money. Like they took the best pizza place out of your New York or Jersey childhood (constantly blasting rock music and all) and plopped it into the bay. $3 slices, Japanese: A million so-so places. Only one I really like Geta - Oakland, 41st & Piedmont. Cheap, good for the money, good daily sashimi/nigiri specials. $4-7 rolls, $7-10 entrees Burgers: I don't often go out for burgers, and as long as it's juicy, I'm happy Super Duper burger - california chain. Slightly upmarket. Juicy, decent fries, decent pickles, poor selection. Combos around $12 Barney's - Local chain, more upmarket. Great variety, good meat, good fries. ~$13-15 burger combos Banh Mi: One place is far and away the best Saigon Sandwich - SF at Larkin & Eddy. Cheap as gently caress, piled high, quick, killer. ~$3.50-$4.50 for sandwiches, $1-2 drinks,

Bonus points to anyone that can recommend properly spicy food! I swear, around here you ask for extra spicy food, and they nod and sprinkle in an extra shake of black pepper

The farmer's markets are all over the place. My favorite has to be the Alemany farmer's market. It's on a big lot, tons of vendors, good variety, good prices. It usually doesn't feel as crowded due to the sheer size. Go there early if you want the pick of the litter, go there later if you want clearance deals on vendors that are trying to leave.

Hadlock posted:Golden Boy pizza is the best pizza in the city that I've eaten so far, and i eat a lot of pizza. Though they have an annoying habit (like most popular places in this city) of slowing down service when the line out the door gets too short. My current favorite in the city is Serrano's, though I admit I haven't tried much North Beach (outside of my stomping grounds). Someone gave me money for the Trans Day of Pizza, so I bought an 18" Margherita from Leaning Tower of Pizza in Oakland by Lake Merritt. It was spectacular and so far the best pizza I've had in East Bay.

Sourdough bread (ideally in a big French boule) + it's it ice cream sandwich (in vanilla, chocolate, mint, pumpkin spice, strawberry or espresso flavor) + Mission-style burrito (thick as my forearm, packed with Spanish rice, beans, crema Mexicana, salsa, avocado, cheese, pickled jalapeno, and either Carnitas, carne asada, chicken, al pastor, or shrimp.) Apart from easy cock, those are the most emblematic San Francisco eats I can think of.

Reiterpallasch posted:Saigon Sandwich is right by there and has amazing (and cheap) bahn mi, but they close at 5:30 exactly. Maybe Zuni? gently caress, I *love* Saigon sandwich, I used to go there all the time when I went to that clinic. Good banh mi, stacked thick, nice and cheap, with a good selection of drinks and desserts

Had Indian pizza from Zante tonight. Holy gently caress it's sooooooo good. I almost forgot about this place after leaving SF, but it's so amazing I can't even. Paneer tikka masala pizza with fresh parsley, masala sauce, mozzarella, paneer, eggplant, and cauliflower. Too tasty
