La Corneta Taqueria (Glen Park) - My New Favorite

La Corneta Taqueria
2834 Diamond Street
(between Kern St & Wilder St)

“Where the he– is Glen Park?” Sarah asked. “I dunno,” I shrugged. “Somewhere with lots of families, I think.” Everyone who lives near Glen Park of San Francisco knows this place but we sure didn’t…it’s way out there in the outskirts of SF. You know, off Monterey Avenue…where people that work in high tech in San Jose try to live so they hop onto 280 in minutes.

Caffe Bianco: Tiny Portion for Tiny Price

Caffe Bianco
39 Sutter Street
(between Montgomery St & Sansome St)
San Francisco, CA 94104
(415) 421-2091

I’ve greedily eyed this place as frequent morning stops at the end of the 2, 3, and 4 bus lines have me staring at this glass-windowed cafe facing Sutter Street.

But grubgirl is always grubgirl, no matter what time of the day. Around this area I have not yet found a grub-worthy breakfast joint. That is, huge portions, cheap prices, good food. These folks listed a healthy burrito (3 egg whites, cheese, salsa, lavash bread) for $3.50.

Papalote: Bargain Burritos in NoPa

Papalote Mexican Grill
1777 Fulton Street @ Masonic
San Francisco
415-776-0106

Papalote’s known for its fresh and healthy Mexican food. The original one (that I know of) is on 24th & Valencia. (Thanks to the resident ABM who took me there). Though that time I got a Mole Taco and felt it didn’t taste that authentic compared to the fare in Southern California, this time I ordered a basic Pollo Burrito with black beans and a spinach tortilla for $5.45.

Guerrero’s Taqueria: Mexican Food in Pacifica

Guerrero’s Taqueria
164 Reina Del Mar Ave
Pacifica, CA 94044
(650) 355-2833

Read the reviews on Yelp for more details on this locals-only Mexican restaurant in Pacifica. It’s a serve-yourself affair.

Grubgirl wanted to point out that the soft tacos qualify for cheap eats, since you can get one for $1.90 and it was pretty tasty. I got one with carne asada on it. Most tacos sold from trucks range in the $1.00 - $1.50 range, so for a helping surrounded by four walls, I was impressed by the price for the quantity of meat, white onion, and cilantro on top.
