Chicken mole, refried beans, cheese, guacamole, sour cream and salsa. $10.95
Zapata Mexican Grill, San Francisco CA
I’m a bit weird in that I like my nachos super saucy so that’s why I often choose the simmering meats for my nachos. Chicken mole is always a good bet because its so flavorful and the mole is great at softening the tortilla chips.
White hominy, chicken and pork soup, served with cabbage and avocado. $8.75
Zapata Mexican Grill, San Francisco CA
This pozole wasn’t the best I’ve had, but it was pretty decent and at a reasonable price. The flavors were nice and they give you a good amount.
Onion, cilantro, spicy salsa. $3.75
La Taqueria, San Francisco
This was delicious, but maybe too game-y tasting for me. I love lengua, but this had an exceptionally strong flavor that didn’t agree with me.
House-made corn chips covered with cheese, pork, jalapenos, sour cream, black beans, and salsa. $9.80
Tacos Club, San Francisco CA
I liked these nachos! The pork was very tasty and tender and the toppings were quality. The house made chips were also thick and strong enough to withstand holding all the toppings without breaking. They really need a salsa bar though!
Black beans, rice, salad. $8.75
Tropisueno, San Francisco CA
I didn’t like this very much. I thought the flavor combinations were weird and didn’t work well together. Carrot, raisin, and pine nuts aren’t a good combo.
Sonoma Coast State Park.
Sour cream, cheese, avocado, beans, pico de gallo. $8.95
La Taqueria, San Francisco
This was messy and really tasty! I do think that having the burrito lightly grilled made all the difference. Trying to order and find a seat at this place during a weekend dinner was insane though. I don’t think a burrito is worth that madness.

Chips and salsa. $1.30
I was hoping for salsa rojo or anything else besides their boring and super acidic pico de gallo.
Grilled marinated pork, tortilla chips with beans, melted cheese, pico de gallo, crema and guacamole. $9.95
Tropisueno, San Francisco CA
I loved the super thin chips, but they might have been a bit dainty for all those toppings. I don’t know if I was a big fan of the pork though. It was a little bland.
Bernal Heights Park.
Chicken consomme, carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, garbanzos, avocado, queso fresco and chipotle abodabo. $13
Nopalito, San Francisco CA
This soup was very flavorful, but surprisingly light compared to something like a pozole. I didn’t know what to expect and I was pleasantly surprised. The flavors were subtle but well developed. I was tickled by the dried whole pepper plopped in the middle.

Marinated in bacon and onions, guacamole. $11
Don Pistos, San Francisco CA
This burger was VERY simple and plain looking, but it tasted great. The patty was super juicy and flavorful. I do wish that the bun would have been toasted with a little butter for a bit more moisture and perhaps a bit smaller. There was a lot bread to the size of the patty. A squeeze of lime on the burger actually tasted great though.

Hecho, San Francisco CA
Meh, I thought this would be great but the broth was too bitter! The bread was also soft and quickly became super soggy. There wasn’t many mussels either so it wasn’t very substantial.

Duck mole: duck confit, dried cherry mole, queso fresco, corn tortilla. Beer battered fish: fresh cod, cabbage, smoke jalapeno crema, flour tortilla. Al pastor: roasted pork, grilled pineapple, corn tortilla. 3 for $17
Hecho, San Francisco CA
These tacos were really tasty. I enjoyed the individual flavors and ingredients for each one. I will say that I thought some of the tortillas were a bit dry though.

Serrano, cilantro, onion, garlic and lime. $9
Hecho, San Francisco CA
Mmm, this guacamole was pretty tasty! The avocado was fresh and bright with a little kick from the serrano chiles. I also loved their chips and salsa, especially their red variety.
