Arepas mojo - Terre a Terre
Deep fried sweetcorn chermoula chips served with chilli chelly jelly, avocado coriander chilli garlic hash and a fresh and zesty oregano and lime mojo. £8.95
Terre a Terre, Brighton ENGLAND

Mmm, this was SO tasty! I was a bit apprehensive when my friend said that we were going to a vegetarian restaurant (since I’m a total meat eater), but I will say that I didn’t even miss the meat. I know that’s a bit cliche to say, but it’s totally true! The fried arepas were crispy on the outside and steaming hot on the inside, and they paired perfectly with the jelly and avocado hash.

Lamb burger banh mi - Belcampo Meat Co.
Ground lamb shoulder and belly, pickled carrots, daikon, jalapeno, cucumber, cilantro, sriracha mayo, fries. $17
Belcampo Meat Co., Larkspur CA

The kitchen was kind enough to split the order between two plates, and we didn’t even ask. That was cool! The burger was very tasty. I loved the lamb flavor and the patty was juicy and tender. I also liked the Vietnamese flavors. What I didn’t like was the weird ketchup. It was super sweet and kinda ruined the perfectly delicious fries.

Trout tostadas - Cala
With chipotle, avocado, and fried leeks. $16
Cala, San Francisco CA

These were pretty tasty, and I thought that the fried leeks were a great component. I thought that the texture of the trout was verging on the slimy side, but that didn’t stop me from devouring these little bites!

Assorted tacos - The Castro Republic
Heritage carnitas, adobo chicken, and beer-marinated steak. On organic corn tortilla, onion, cilantro relish, lime, and roasted tomatillo salsa. Taco Wednesday, each $2
The Castro Republic, San Francisco CA

These definitely hit the spot on a random Wednesday night. And I’m totally down with the two dollar price tag. While most places observe Taco Tuesday, they do Taco Wednesday at The Castro Republic!

El de la foto - Los Schucos Latin Hot Dogs
Bacon-wrapped all-beef frank, Guatemalan chimichurri sauce, repollo, avocado, and mayo maya. $7.95
Los Schucos Latin Hot Dogs, San Francisco CA

This was sinfully good, but I will say that the bacon-wrapped frank wasn’t as good as the ones you get from a street cart. This was definitely fancier, but it lacked the crispiness, texture, and flavor that I was expecting.

Jimmy Nardello and shishito peppers - Tosca Cafe
Italian sweet peppers, red onion, farro, pickled chili. $10
Tosca Cafe, San Francisco CA

These were really tasty, and I actually really liked the farro in there. They added a nice texture and flavor to the peppers. Overall, I enjoyed the food at Tosaca Cafe, but our server was off. I felt like were either gonna do it her way, or she wasn’t having it. The timing was really off and she would disappear for long chunks.

Kale and brussels sprouts salad - Belcampo Meat Co.
Baby kale, mesclun, shaved brussels sprouts, walnuts, dried plums, honey-champagne vinaigrette. $14
Belcampo Meat Co., Larkspur CA

I didn’t think I would like this because it looked like rabbit food when it came out, but it was surprisingly delicious. I also didn’t mind that it was only lightly dressed. I thought I would need more dressing to hide all the leafy tastes, lol!

Croqueta - Bellota
Creamy clam and sea urchin fritter, pickled ramp, seaweed powder. $15
Bellota, San Francisco CA

These may have been small, but they were wonderful! The interior was so creamy and delicious, and they were fried perfectly. I can’t say I’ve ever had a clam and sea urchin croqueta, but my goodness it was tasty! I could eat an entire tray of these perfect morsels.
