Mission Pie
25th at Mission
http://www.pieranch.org
If you’re not paying attention, you may walk past the doorway that leads to Mission Pie, a bakery that’s been making a name for itself lately for its organic pies with a purpose. Look for the fold-out sign on the sidewalk that proclaims the store name, and the “Open” neon sign in the non-descript side window. (They’re no longer located at the 2901 Mission St. location which other places like Yelp seem to advertise. Actually, I can’t confirm that because I just know of this location on 25th St.)

Sushi Zone

San Francisco, CA 94103

Cash only
Tucked away in an alley that actually is off Market Street (wow, in-car navigation systems really DO work!), I convinced my buddy, The Jeremy Piven Doppelganger (TJPD), to stand in line because the wait was supposedly worth it. The kicka** parking spot we nabbed on the side street also helped us with our overall experience.

Balompie Cafe
3349 18th Street
(between Capp St & Van Ness Ave)
San Francisco, CA 94110
(415) 648-9199
We talked about the ultimate pupusa stop, El Zocalo, in an earlier post. Now you soccer fans get a restaurant where you can watch the soccer games while eating some tasty morsels.
Wikipedia defines Balompie as the literal Spanish word for football as opposed to the anglicized version, futbol.
At Balompie Cafe, you get to order the traditional Salvadorean combo plate with pupusa, yuca, and pastel for $8.50. You also get the vinegary coleslaw, and chips and mild salsa on the side. We went there for Sunday night dinner and were surrounded by families.

Los Jarritos
901 South Van Ness
San Francisco, CA 94110
Open Daily, 9am-10pm
(415) 648-8383
We ducked in here for a late Sunday lunch while I waited for my stubborn 12-year old car to get detailed. Even at about 3pm, this family-run place was still packed.
Though the breakfasts (served any time of day) looked enticing, Francisco had told me to get the combo lunch plate. Kiko’s Combination allows 2 house specialties, plus rice, beans, a green salad, and their yummy freshly-made corn tortillas. The business lunch plate is slightly cheaper ($6.95) than the dinner plate ($10.95). However, we had special instructions to order off the menu.
