Very cute outdoor eatery in Barrio Logan! It's located behind a different restaurant--I'm unsure if…read moreit's the same owners or a friends/family situation, but it was still easy to find. The space is decorated with very cool paintings on the walls and plenty of plants. They also have TVs for entertainment, and the FIFA games were playing while I was there. I ordered the ribeye fries, and the portion size is huge--definitely large enough to share between two adults and leave full. The ribeye itself is very good quality, but for me, the flavors missed the mark because the steak gets a bit lost. They are topped with sour cream, avocado, lots of cheese, beans (which they actually forgot to put on mine), chimichurri, onions, and cilantro. It's built like traditional carne asada fries, but because the meat is such high quality, all the thick sauces ended up overpowering it. Just the chimichurri and another light sauce would have been plenty. To drink, I got the watermelon agua fresca. Personally, it was too sweet for me--I didn't taste much watermelon, mostly just sugar water. I love fresh-pressed watermelon juice, so I was expecting something a bit lighter and more refreshing. Service was great! The girl taking orders was very polite and acknowledged me while she finished helping the customers ahead of me. They use table numbers and bring the food right out to whichever table you choose. I also appreciated that the self-serve salsa bar was clean, and I love that they offer hand sanitizer right there to use before or after grabbing your sauces. I think there was alcohol available from what looked like maybe another small business set up to the left when you first walk in, but I'm not 100% sure. It's all street parking. It was busy, so you may have to walk a bit. Also, keep an eye out when crossing the street...I didn't see a crosswalk, and while some cars went the speed limit, others didn't seem to care! I'd definitely go back to try the actual tacos next time!

I freaking love this market, Sat & Sun only, 10-4…read more What did I want to do for Mother's Day? Lane Field market! Walk along the Embarcadero & get a freeze on a hot day, stop by Chilanga's (the best booth there) & get my huitlacoche on. Live music, shade, delicious vendors, right across from the water. I did have a little detour from Chilanga's - while I was waiting for my spouse to park, I sat at a shady table with a woman who was telling me about the poke truck (Island Mike's) & explaining that her coworker ran it as a side hustle, and that the poke was delicious because he had lived in Hawaii. I agonized a bit - get my Chilanga's huitlacoche huarache - or try the poke? I eventually decided: it's Mother's Day, you can have ALL the things, just like at a buffet! So I went to Island Mike's first. They advertised Broke Da Mouth poke - and I was a little suspicious at first - cuz Island Mike's didn't look like a Hawaii native but a mainlander who spent some time there. BUT... I got my poke "island style" (furikake, sushi rice, and the poke - not lots of distractions like seaweed salad or ginger like in the "mainland style") - and it really was off the hook. Really fresh & delicious and perfectly made. YUM & YUM. $12 for one scoop (the smaller size) & very worth it. Of course I still needed my Chilanga's so then I got the huitlacoche huarache (a vegetarian taste of heaven - shredded lettuce, huitlacoche, Mexican cheese on a huarache (masa dough) & tried the mango passion fruit agua fresca. The huarache is huge and I'd already had the little poke, so I took most of it home to eat later. But it was just as yummy as I remembered. And the agua fresca is amazing. I'll still crave Chilanga's but now I'll crave Island Mike's too. I need to get down here more often because it is a super fun outing that is too good to waste on tourists!

There was live music and aa few food stalls. Good Eatz (filipino/hawaiian fusion) caught my eye mainly because they have a few Ube pastries (mochi, ube bar, etc). I first ordered the ube bar which passed the test so I went back to order the mochi. They also offer lumpia, spam musubi and chicken wing combo plates and pork dumplings.

And that's what these tamales taste like to me. The masa is more flavorful than a typical tamale in my experience, and all the ingredients are fresh, just wonderful food. You will usually want to get there early to have a good choice of what you get and they don't always come out right away, so you might find yourself waiting. That's o.k. Patience is a virtue in this life and you might find yourself getting some of the best home made style tamales if you have some. :-) Also, this is a food stand, I don't believe they have any place to eat here so ambiance isn't a thing, the parking can be a little tough but not usually a big deal.

We visited during Chicano Day at Chicano Park, and this was the first coffee shop we saw, so we…read moredecided to hop in line that was established. Unfortunately, there were no signs or guidance showing where the line should be directed, which made things confusing from the beginning. By the time I reached the front, the owner (I'm assuming) a woman with glasses and long black hair spoke to me in a passive-aggressive tone and told me the line was actually on the other side. Given the setup, it wasn't obvious at all. There's a fence directly in front of the shop, and with the large crowds that day, it was even more chaotic. I tried to be understanding and moved to the correct spot, but while I was waiting for my drink, she repeated the same interaction with several other customers in the same tone. People were clearly confused, walking around the fence trying to figure things out, and without any guidance, I saw multiple customers leave frustrated. Customer service, especially from the owner, was disappointing and could definitely be improved particularly during busy events when clear communication matters most. That said, I'll give credit where it's due: the drinks were great. I'd rate my banana coffee a solid 4.5/5, it was delicious, and the heart-shaped straw was a really cute touch. If you're running a business, especially in a high-traffic setting, better organization and customer service would make a huge difference.

I sometimes get wistful passing by the dirty dog carts. They always smell so great and I can't help…read morebut feel saddened sometimes by not being able to partake. So, I can't express how much it meant to me to see a plant based option on this menu when I passed by at the OB Farmers market. AND it was cheaper than the regular options!! Only $5! I thought maybe it was a mistake or outdated but when they rang me up, it really was only $5- for something just as loaded as the regular version. I'm used to seeing vegan options being the more expensive option, so this was really appreciated. The veggie dogs were great. If I could get this again, I'd probably skip the chorizo or ask for half as much because it was pretty salty. They definitely leave some seeds in the jalapeños so skip that if you can't handle heat. It comes sauces that are mayo based (except for the mustard and ketchup), so leaving those off will yield you a vegan friendly dog. Thank you Gus Doggos.

Most of what they have available is frozen but if you call ahead they will have something hot ready for you to pick up.

The sausage rolls are also excellent, a good choice for an easy hearty breakfast. The Scotch egg was also good.
