It’s 7 a.m., 55° and headed to 68°. Details for the next 10 days are here.
It promises to be a day of protests today, starting this morning with a bus/eviction protest at 18th and Dolores, picking up again this evening at Dolores and 20th at 5 p.m. and ending at 151 Duboce Street. We will be at both so stay tuned.
Mexican food goes citywide. Michael Bauer posts his favorite Mexican dishes and La Taqueria on Mission near 25th Street wins for his favorite burrito with carnitas. I haven’t had a burrito there, but the tacos are wonderful. It is a sign of the times that all of Bauer’s other favorites are outside of the Mission. It is not so much a matter of fewer Mexican restaurants here, but many more have opened elsewhere and the sophistication level has gone way up. I still think it is hard to beat the Saturday breakfast at the Primavera market stand at the Ferry Building or the fish and grilled prawn tacos at Papalote, our neighborhood restaurant.
