Albert eggs benedict Zazie

With bacon, grated white cheddar, and homemade salsa fresca.  Served on an English muffin with a fabulous light lemon hollandaise, home fries and orange wedge. Two for $12
Zazie, San Francisco

The cooks at Zazie are expert egg poachers.  These things are absolutely beautiful!  I love their lemon hollandaise too!  The bacon was so yummy, but I kind of missed the salsa fresca though.  I always order their home fries because they have delicious roasted garlic cloves.  Noms!  My one complaint is that the eggs benedicts could come out warmer.

Chips with guacamole and salsa The Ramp

Every part of this appetizer probably came out of either a can or bag, but I still liked it and definitely ate more than my share.  There’s just something about chips with salsa and guacamole that keeps you eating regardless of the quality.  Or maybe I’m just a pig!  Either way, I enjoyed these and would order them again in a quick second.  You definitely get lots of it!  $8

Carnitas tacos – La Taqueria

Carnitas tacos La Taqueria
 

Roasted pulled pork with pinto beans, salsa and wrapped in flour tortillas. $3.50 each
La Taqueria, San Francisco

My apologies, but this place is SO over rated and over priced!  The tacos may be large, but they were bland and the juice from the salsa (seemed to be used as filler) kept dripping down my arm.  It baffles me how these tacos made it on the 7×7 Big Eat 2011 list but then again, so did dim sum at Ton Kiang!  Both are disappointing and not worth a special trek to try them.  I honestly think that any taco truck in the Mission has better carnitas tacos and they’ll be cheaper too.  You’ve been warned, lol!

Carne asada burrito – El Farolito

Carne asada burrito El Farolito

Super burrito with soft flour tortilla filled with grilled steak, rice, beans, fresh tomatoes, onions, cilantro, salsa, cheese, sour cream, and avocado. $6.25
El Farolito, San Franciso

Like most Mission burritos, this one from El Farolito is ginormous (and quite delicious if I may add)!  The carne asada was tender and flavorful, and the other ingredients are evenly portioned.  They don’t over-fill the burrito with rice like some other taquerias.  The salsa, however, was SO frickin’ salty!  It pretty much destroyed my taste buds and ruined several bites of the burrito.  I immediately stopped using more once I figured out that it was the salty offender, lol!  If you plan on tackling this huge burrito, save your appetite or stow half for later!

Chips and salsa – Papalote Mexican Grill

Chips and salsa Papalote Mexican Grill

It’s all about the salsa!  It’s hard to describe its unique flavor because it’s not like any other salsa I’ve tasted.  Papalote has been on the show Throwdown with Bobby Flay for a burrito challenge, and it was their AMAZING salsa that gave Papalote the winning advantage. When ever I go to their 24th Street location (conveniently close to my house) I pay for extra containers of this delicious condiment. They even sell jars of it at several Whole Foods supermarkets in San Francisco. Not sure if they’re sold in other cities/states, but they should be! Everyone should have the chance to taste their distinct salsa creation! $1.50 + .50 for extra salsa
