Chocolate chip cookie
Daph H.

We were looking for a place for lunch after visiting the Walt Disney Museum and saw Cafe RX on Yelp. It's tucked away behind a building in the Presidio, mostly catering to the people working in the nearby offices. You order at the counter and find a place to sit. The woman taking our order was really nice and told us that if we paid with cash, she'd give us a couple of drinks and a cookie. Needless to say, we paid with cash and tipped (for which she seemed super grateful). There's indoor seating, which is somewhat charmless, and outdoor seating. We sat indoors since it was a little chilly and windy outside. The food was much better than I expected, especially given the reasonable price point. I got a tuna melt ($9.95), which didn't look like what I expected, but had carrots and celery in the tuna salad (which was pretty tasty) and came with an organic green salad. My daughter got the chicken caesar with provolone cheese sandwich ($10.95), made with free-range chicken and served with organic mixed greens. My husband got a shrimp ceviche $12.50), one of the daily specials. Everything tasted really fresh and it felt like the food was made with love. We even got a bowl of avocado on the side gratis (it was close to closing before the weekend, so maybe they were trying to give it a good home - either way, it was appreciated). This is not a destination restaurant but definitely a good place for breakfast or lunch if you're in the area and are looking for a bite to eat. A much better option than the cafe by the Presidio transit station or the food trucks!

Cool spot! Found out it's where people eat if they're going to do Lucasfilm stuff? I got told there is Yoda nearby. food was delicious! Bathrooms down the hall always a plus. Entrance in a weird spot through grass always cool.

Went here after going to the Palace of Fine Arts. It's a very peaceful cafe with plenty of seating. The customer service was very friendly and the food came out quickly. I ordered a ham and cheese sandwich which was reasonably priced and came with a light salad. Both tasted extremely good! I also had the sprinkle and peanut butter cookies which were also amazing! Overall, I would highly recommend this place. :)

Little cafe hidden in the presidio with great lunch options: soups, sandwiches and salads. Their service was friendly and super quick! There a few tables to eat inside and a couple picnic tables on the lawn out back.

Enter down the sidewalk right infront of that guy, cafe is inside this building. Not much parking.

Stopped by this cafe after touring a wedding venue in the Presidio. I got the chef salad, and mi mamá had the special of the day, open face veggie sandwich with side salad. Both were really good and filling! I would absolutely stop by if in the area in the early morning/afternoon. You walk into the building, and the cafe is to the left. There are indoor tables and chairs but with this weather in March, we enjoyed them right in front. total was aprox $30 for 2 people. I believe they close at 2 or 3 pm best for morning or early lunches

The decision to try this place for lunch was stupendous. I had the tuna melt. - YUM It came with a small tasty salad and was served on fresh toasted bread. The quality was more than decent and a involuntary sigh of contentment escaped my lips more than once. Come early to avoid the inevitable lunch queue.

This seems to be sandwich shop that typically are in office buildings for workers to grab lunch. They also have a daily soup and salads. The food is very good, with vegetarian options and not at unreasonable prices. If I am nearby & need to find a place to eat, I would come back.

If you want a quick meal near the Presidio, this place is fresh and creative. Yummy salads, sandwiches and breakfast until 11. Mark had a tuna salad sandwich ... bread was toasted & good. I had a combo with gazpacho soup, a small salad and half a tuna sandwich. It was delicious. The gazpacho was bursting with flavor. Can't give it 5 stars because it kind of feels like you're eating great food in a hallway. Linoleum floors & etc. Dog friendly: it was hot outside so we ate inside. I'd it were cooler, we would have eaten outside on a picnic table near grass.

I made a reservation via Yelp for 3 people on a Saturday at 11:15am. My table was ready on time and they seated me even though our full party was running late. I got the Omelette Fried Rice (4.5/5), that came with delicious sriracha bacon, and an okay salad on the side. For my drink, I got the strawberry matcha latte with oat milk (5/5), which was fantastic. It's on the sweeter side, which worked for me. It was fairly busy and a bit loud inside. The dining room is long and narrow but has a decent amount of seating. Service was good, and friendly.

A charming little bistro inspired by the Marlowe cows, I'm assuming, managed to stun us with several memorable dishes. The warm deviled eggs were an excellent start. Savory yet delicate enough to not weigh us down right at the beginning of our meal. The horseradish aioli wasn't for me, but I can see its appeal for a certain audience. You give me a Calabrian chili sauce and it's guaranteed to make me happy and this shrimp with sweet corn was no exception. Again, light but a punchy flavor that was enjoyable. I could go on and on about the different dishes we tried but the real standout of the night was the pork tenderloin with chorizo and peaches. The sweetness from the peaches somehow managed to enhance the flavor of the chorizo. This dish gives you a bold, savory and sweet bite all together but still won't have you feeling super heavy. The portion size is perfect. Im hoping to return soon for another exquisite meal.
