El Gallo Giro

Mexican restaurant · Mission

"Saunter up to this storied truck and order yourself a plate of impossibly crispy and juicy carnitas tacos buried under a flurry of onions and cilanto. You won’t regret it. El Gallo Giro is widely respected as one of the best taco spots in the city, parked at 23rd Street and Treat Avenue, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday." - Dianne de Guzman, Eater Staff

Potto

Restaurant · The Castro

"This restaurant brings together a delightful blend of traditional Japanese flavors and experiences. Imagine a cozy, modern eatery where guests can indulge in authentic Shabu Shabu—a Japanese hot pot experience with thinly sliced meat and fresh vegetables cooked at the table, then dipped in flavorful sauces. Alongside the hot pot, the menu offers hearty Japanese rice bowls, each topped with savory ingredients such as tender beef, onsen eggs, or fresh veggies, layered over perfectly steamed rice. Finally, to elevate the dining experience, guests can enjoy sake—the traditional Japanese rice wine, with a range of styles from light and fruity to rich and full-bodied."
