Review Icon Lena reviewed Tropicana Liquor Market in San Francisco Grocery Stores:
They close a bit early for a liquor store (earlier than the burrito joint next door), but otherwise Tropicana Liquor Market is kind of great. The husband and wife (I assume) who run the place are super friendly to me, and they have a decent selection of products.

I particularly appreciate their energy drink selection. They always have all 3 sizes of Diet Red Bull in stock (surprisingly rare among other nearby stores including Walgreens). Be careful to check the date on perishables, particularly their milk. I don't really fault them for having expired milk since I'm pretty sure most everyone goes here for the beer.

They take credit cards and have a low $5 minimum.

Review Icon magellan reviewed Tropicana Liquor Market in San Francisco Grocery Stores:
This is where I buy my Ito En teas. The owners are nice, the place overpriced, and I usually go in here because it's well lit and clean, and slightly less sketchy than the other Mission street convenience stores.

Review Icon honestman reviewed Organic Chef Catering in San Francisco Catering:
Everything was great with this company...until the night of my dinner. Our food came out cold...stone cold. Previously cooked vegetables, potatoes, meat, fish...all cold. We were devastated, and I died a thousand deaths. Went table to table apologizing. All Eden had to say was "I'm so sorry."

We were charged for a portable oven as well.

I would not use this company again. I also found Luis, the chef, to be unbending and not open to hearing my vision of the dinner...he was set on his and that was it.

It was a big mistake. Every time I attempt to leave a less than five-star review on yelp, my review mysteriously disappears.

Review Icon magellan reviewed El Herradero Restaurant in San Francisco Mexican Restaurants:
This is a pretty good traditional mexican restaurant. Unfortunately for them, it's not quite as good as jarrito's right down the street.

Review Icon magellan reviewed Smile Bbq in San Francisco Barbecue:
1 star. Dirty and scary. Periodically seems to be on fire. I have a very high squalor tolerance, and you won't catch me eating in here. Convenient location however..

Review Icon cimbrel30 reviewed Valencia Whole Foods in San Francisco Grocery Stores:
It's like a regular corner store but with organic stuff. I have tried two times to get a salad from there but I didn't see any ingredients that I liked.

And it is expensive!

Review Icon Lena reviewed Rhea's Deli in San Francisco Restaurants (general):
The friendly folks at Rhea's Deli will make you the best sandwich you can get in the mission. Seriously.

The sandwich contained the perfect amount of Boar's Head brand meat and cheese and fresh lettuce and tomato. If you upgrade to a roll, you'll enjoy delicious fresh bread from the nearby Tartine (without the wait), and all sandwiches come with your choice of 5 freshly made aioli flavors.

Even if you don't like mayonnaise (I can relate, the stuff tastes vile to me), make sure to try the aioli at least once. You won't regret it.

They don't have tables, but Dolores Park is just 2 blocks away, so grab a sandwich, sit in the sun, and enjoy :)

The deli is open relatively late: 11am - 9pm daily, so I'll definitely be back for dinner one night to try some of their more decadent options. I've heard the Korean Steak Sandwich is not to be missed, and they also have a Pork Katsu sandwich that looked delicious.

Review Icon RunJaneRun reviewed Taqueria La Cumbre (16th and Valencia) in San Francisco Taquerias:
La Cumbre used to be one of my favorites, but I had such a crap experience yesterday I'm just never going back. There used to be care and pride taken in the food served; last night it seemed they couldn't have cared less about what happened to what they were preparing or if I got what I asked and paid for. $7 thrown away - it was inedible. Tough, gristley beef; I'd ordered carnitas. Because of carelessness they've lost a good 30-year customer.

Review Icon cimbrel30 reviewed Lolo in San Francisco Mexican Restaurants:
Update with a picture (11/3/2009):
Last night I tried their new star dish: Tuna Tacos. They are a hard competition now for the Taco Tropical, which is still my favorite.

This is how the Tuna Tacos look like, enjoy!!

Tuna Taco @Lolo - 22nd and Barlett

Great food and service.

It's a different Mexican style food, you won't find anything like this in the city.

I had taco tropical y flan steak with fruit mole and cheese cake. The taco tropical is one of their most popular dishes (the woman sit by me told me that she crosses the city every week to have it). The steak was perfectly cooked. Dipping the meat in the mole made up a perfect mix of sweet and salty. Finally I had the cheese cake as a suggestion of the hostess, and it was really creamy and tasty.

Great environment, nice decoration and friendly staff.

Awesome experience, I will go back for sure.

Review Icon cimbrel30 reviewed Herbivore in San Francisco Vegetarian Restaurants:
I had here the Bruschetta and Pad Thai and they both are ok.

This is a vegetarian restaurant so the Bruschetta it's everything but that. It is a toast with pieces of raw tomato, garlic and some other greens that I couldn't recognize, all on a baguette bread. It wasn't good but it wasn't bad either. It's an appetizer for $3.5, it's not a bad price for it.

Bruschetta @Herbivore

The Pad Thai was better than the so called "Bruschetta" but too spicy for my taste. You can order it with peanut or tomato sauce. I picked the tomato one and I liked it, I didn't love it ,so if I ever go back there, I will try the peanut sauce.




Pad Thai @Herbivore - Valencia and 21st
