Mission Pie  

Categories: Bakeries, Coffee & Tea, Desserts
Neighborhood: Mission

5 star rating
 Update - 10/13/2009  
I recently went back to Mission Pie with my parents. One again the mixed berry pie was incredible, but what changed my rating of 4 stars to a new one of 5 is the banana cream pie.

Seriously, it is the closest to bliss you're likely to get. The horrible parking be damned, I would walk on hot coals for the Banana cream pie!

    I would like to start out by saying that I am probably a little biased because I love pie more then I love most things.
    On that account it did not disappoint, the mixed berry pie was a little slice of heaven, the pumpkin pie was not as good as some I've had other places, but I am pumpkin pie snob, and this was still damn good pumpkin pie.  
    They have AMAZING tea, black tea with rose petals was amazing, and I love how eco-friendly they are.
    My only complaint being that parking is irritating, I *HATE* metered parking, but I would still put up with the annoyance for this place.
    I can't wait to go back, because I feel that after all the rave reviews I HAVE to try the banana cream pie.

Enjoy Vegetarian Restaurant  

Categories: Vegetarian, Chinese
Neighborhood: Inner Sunset

4 star rating

Really really good! I love all the vegetarian recreations of traditionally meat dishes. I got a dish that was black mushroom, tofu, wheat gluten, and chinese greens. DELICIOUS! Also the curry triangles are just lovely.
And lunch for $7.95, can I get a HELL YEAH?
The staff is really friendly, and helpful, and parking be fairly easily found on the street.
I'm definitely going to be coming back here.

Marco Polo Italian Ice Cream

Okay okay okay, can you say AMAZING? This place as rare Asian ice cream flavors you can get other places like Taro, Lychee, and red bean.
I got coconut, taro, and green tea, it was AMAZING!!!!
Parking sucks a little bit, and there's not much seating, but it's worth it!

Extreme Pizza  

Category: Pizza

5 star rating
 9/15/2009  
I can safely say that Extreme Pizza has ruined me for all other delivery pizza.
Okay, so it usually takes awhile to arrive, but it is ALWAYS worth the wait. The "Green with Envy" and "Screaming Tomato" are sooooo good.
It's a teeny bit expensive in comparison to big chain pizza delivery places, i.e. Pizza hut, but it is DELICIOUS and the slices are HUGE.
Plus you can order online, which is great for people like me who don't like to use their phone.

I LOVE THIS PLACE! I LOVE IT!!!!!!
I have been going to Evita's since I could walk, and since moving away from Ventura I miss it like a bad habit.
The Los Tres burrito is amazing as are the nachos, and don't even get me started on how much I love the friggin salsa.
Everyone is really nice, you can always find parking, and it is SUPER cheap.

El Toreador Restaurant  

Category: Mexican
Neighborhood: West Portal

5 star rating

Do you know how awesome this place is? Its so Awesome they even have a VEGAN burrito, which, by the way, is delicious. As is their peach ice tea and their strawberry Margarita.
The look of the place is friggin amazing, I tell you what. With everything from paper mache owls hanging from the ceiling, to fun fact place mats, to chairs with different names on the back of them. I love this place, no really, I do.
It is often pretty busy, like a lot of places in West Portal, and parking can be a drag, but dude, it's worth it.

The mozzarella pizza and the Moroccan mint tea alone made me fall utterly in love with this place. Also COCONUT GELATO! Is that even fair? It's too good, it just kills me.
This is an amazing place to go after spending the day at Golden Gate park, the service and atmosphere is great, the parking is ... not as great. But really, the place is awesome, you just might have to walk a little bit.

Taipei Restaurant

5 star rating

I get teary just talking about Taipei. I love that I don't have to go all the way into Chinatown where the parking is just ABOMINABLE and I ALWAYS get lost to get INCREDIBLE Chinese Food.
My favorite things: black mushroom and tofu, and the green onion pancakes. Also they have mango and green tea ice cream.
The service is great, and they're always happy to see you if you're a regular.
Pretty much always parking nearby.

Orphan Andy's  

Categories: Diners, American (Traditional)
Neighborhood: Castro

5 star rating
 9/14/2009  
I cannot lie. I love this place. I love it too much.
One of my favorite things is to eat here and then catch a movie over at the Castro theater.
They are always open, have HUGE portions, and the food is soooo good. AND CHEAP. Which totally floats my boat, being an impoverished student.
Okay, so it's diner food, but you know what? I've had bad diner food. And this place makes amazing grilled cheese sandwiches and CHOCOLATE CHIP BANANA PANCAKES!
The service is always amazing, I am never wanting for refills at all.
My first experience here, was me at the bar at nearly midnight, and the service was JUST as AWESOME then as during the day, even though I just a tea and some fries.
As far as little hole in the wall places go, this is one of my absolute favorites. If you haven't gone here, shame on you, go now, no really, just get up and go now. You won't be sorry.
Parking in Castro is pretty much always harry, but it's literally RIGHT across the street from the muni station.
