Chicken breast and gyro meat served with side of hummus, tzatziki, salad, and lavash bread. $8.95
SF Wraps, San Francisco CA
This lunch was a pretty good value. I liked the chicken, but the gyro meat was super dry. The salad was good and they give you a decent amount of hummus and tzatziki. I wish they had some kind of hot sauce too though.
Fresh corn tortilla, wild fried cod, chipotle salsa. Each $3.25
Uno Dos Tacos, San Francisco CA
Mmm, I love fish tacos and these were pretty good. I wish they were crispier, but I’m gonna chalk that up to having to wait to eat them back at my desk.
Mixed greens, chicken breast, red onion, red bell pepper, snow peas, mushrooms, mandarin oranges, peanuts, crispy noodles topped with sesame seeds and tossed in homemade oriental dressing. $9.75
Working Girls’ Cafe, San Francisco CA
I liked all the ingredients in this salad, but it was surprisingly unfulfilling flavor-wise and volume-wise. Perhaps, I’ll just never get into eating salads as entrees, even for lunch. I did ask for the dressing on the side and I also picked out the crispy noodles. Perhaps if I had it with the full fat content, I would have been more content.
Fresh corn tortilla, shredded simmered chicken, taquera salsa. Each $3.25
Uno Dos Tacos, San Francisco CA
Meh, these tacos weren’t very exciting. They were good enough, but I don’t think that the chicken tinga was my favorite filling.
Grilled beef flap meat with roasted salsa. Served with side of black beans with queso fresco. $3.25
Uno Dos Tacos, San Francisco CA
I think the beef asado taco was my least favorite. It was good, but I think I preferred the other meats.
Chips and salsa. $1.95
Slow roasted pork with roasted salsa. Braised beef tongue with tomatillo salsa. Served with side of black beans with queso fresco. Each $3.25
Uno Dos Tacos, San Francisco CA
These tacos were great (especially the lengua) and nicely priced. The meats were so flavorful and the corn tortillas were perfect. I also love the black beans that they come with. Noms!
Brown rice and spinach. $10
Bar Tartine, San Francisco CA
This salad was actually really delicious, but it was nothing more than a snack. The serving was REALLY small especially for the price. I was really annoying.
Strawberry and juniper soda. $6
Chiffonade romaine lettuce, Point Reyes blue cheese, crispy applewood smoked bacon, all natural diced chicken, chopped egg, diced tomato, red wine vinaigrette dressing. $8.69
Boudin Bakery and Cafe, San Francisco CA
I liked/hated that they include a good amount of bacon in this salad. I guess that if you’re really trying to eat a healthier lunch, perhaps a cobb salad isn’t the best option. It was pretty good though.
Shaking beef with eggplant chips, seared pineapple, pickled veggies, cucumber, papaya vinaigrette, fresh herbs, sprouts, toasted almonds, green onions. $9.49
Bamboo Asia, San Francisco CA
This salad was a flavor explosion! I loved the eggplant chips and there were so many great ingredients. Even the shaking beef, which can usually be gross tasting elsewhere, was tasty and tender. This can definitely be a repeat lunch place.
Lettuce, sprouts, cilantro, cucumber, jalapeño, pineapple, basil, bell pepper, carrot, scallion, pickled veggies. $7.94
Freshroll Vietnamese Rolls & Bowls, San Francisco CA
This was actually pretty tasty, but there wasn’t much food. I guess salads just don’t fill me up, and they don’t include much chicken. I would’ve opted for the extra meat, but I don’t think they would have added much for $2.50.
Twelve hour smoked, with cabbage slaw and aioli served with tender green, english peas, gold nugget mandarins, and sherry vinaigrette. $12
Tender Greens, San Francisco CA
Mmm, this beef brisket was really good and they give you a hearty amount of it in the sandwich. I ate half of the sandwich and had the other half for a late afternoon snack and it was still very tasty a few hours later. I also liked that the salad had beautiful greens and fresh produce.
Brown rice, broccoli, carrot, jalapeno, cilantro, chili sauce. $9.55
Asian Box, San Francisco CA
Wow, this was actually really hot! I was surprised because most lunch places, especially in the Union Square area, play it safe with the heat. The pork had a lemongrass flavor, but it wasn’t juicy as it could have been. I love hot and spicy, but I think they may have overdone it with this one. You really couldn’t taste much of anything else.
