Amazing Mexican food. Vegan, but loved by meat-eaters. Go early and put your name on the wait list, since they don't take reservations for parties of fewer than 6.

Extensive fresh salsa bar to top your taco, burrito, or quesadilla. I love the veggie tacos, which include veggies sautéed to order. Eat a quick lunch there or take it to Dolores Park 3 blocks away.

Amazing ice cream! Far better than the overhyped BiRite, although this is also on the upscale side. Lots of funky flavors, although my favorite is the vanilla-- best I've ever had.
