    Bacon Breakfast Burrito
    Christie N.

    If you find yourself in the area or happen to have time during their somewhat limited hours (weekdays only, til 2pm- tell your tech or federally-funded friend who just got laid off), definitely give this place a try! I came here for the breakfast burrito which I'd heard about on TikTok and it did not disappoint. Gooey cheese, crunchy tots (even after taking it to-go and eating it ~30 min later), and very full of my meat of choice (bacon). I've never had so much bacon in my breakfast burrito, which was such a delightful surprise. Parking was easy (I parked right in front), it seemed to be ok to bring my dog in, the woman who helped me was super nice and friendly, and the wait was pretty quick. The place itself is no frills, just a standard lunch spot. And wow the price! I think (?) it was $11 before tax and tip. Fantastic and rare price for a breakfast burrito that size, with that much meat, in SF. Oh and breakfast burritos are served til 10:30am! Credit cards accepted. I'll definitely try to come by next time my schedule aligns!!

    Fricking amazing! I only had a chicken caesar wrap, but it was so huge, and not just lettuce, and only for $10.50! It was really tasty. Also the staff were very nice, a huge plus in the industrial neighborhood. Nice open space that's quiet. I'm looking forward to my next visit.

    I went after hearing great things about their breakfast burrito and was quite pleased. The best part of the burrito were the crispy tatter tots. The eggs are cooked and folded like sheets so there is a bounce when you bite into the burrito. It's a bit of a commute depending on where you're located and the hours for breakfast end at 10:30am, but I don't regret making the commute over.

    Tucked into Potrero hill, the Deli Lama is a local spot for a great lunch and an absolutely delicious breakfast burrito! Breakfast is till 10:30AM so keep that in mind. The service was quick and very kind. I appreciate the staff going above and beyond! I got a sausage breakfast burrito, it was big, very thicccc. It's packed with 3 eggs, sausage, tots, salsa, cheese. The cheese pull as soon as I got the burrito fresh was amazing. It's a little greasy, but I really like it! I had to save half because it was so good and big. I'm really happy with my experience, there's lots of seating. There's a 3% charge with credit so bring cash! I recommend this spot for a great, affordable breakfast/lunch!

    The Deli Lama is in a warehouse area, so if I wasn't working in that area I would probably not find it, but I'm so glad my work partner knew of it. I ordered a chicken shawarma wrap and it was delicious! It was big and chock full of chicken, cucumbers, hummus, and lettuce, so I only ate half of it. I took all the cucumbers and lettuce out of it the next day, reheated it in the microwave, put the veggies back in, and it was still delicious! My friend and I shared the garlic fries, too, and they were also delicious. I would definitely go back to this place again!

    Steak Breakfast Burrito

    I've tried a lot of breakfast burritos in my lifetime. I must say this is definitely my favorite one so far. The eggs were nice a fluffy. The tater tots were crispy. The sausage was full of flavor. The cheese was nice and gooey. I got the perfect cheese pull. The hot sauce was spicy but not to point where it made the burrito inedible. When I ordered, they did let me know there was a 15 order wait because someone had just placed a big order. It was worth the wait. The first bite was steaming hot but so worth almost burning my mouth for. Something about this breakfast burrito really hit the spot.

    I had the turkey sausage breakfast burrito, which was excellent. The dish was generous and rather filling. I got my order via doordash and the burrito was still warm- the other things that I ordered were in mint condition. I would visit in person next time. Thanks Deli Lama!

    Chorizo Breakfast Burrito
    Michael L.

    Wow, this breakfast burrito really hit the spot. The chorizo was nice and flavorful, and the cheese in the burrito makes it really gooey. The tater tots was a great touch of crunch to each bite as well. The eggs were nice and fluffy and overall this burrito had great texture and good flavor. I definitely would come back and get another breakfast burrito happily. The workers were extremely nice as well here.

    Clean and casual eatery with a bit of seating inside and friendly staff. Ordered the chicken and bacon ranch wrap for take out, and it was ready in less than 10 minutes. It was pretty much a burrito filled with tasty ingredients like chicken, bacon, veggies, and melted cheddar, but the combination of flavors didn't go well together IMO, for instance, grilled peppers and onions, with fresh lettuce, and ranch. It wasn't bad, just different. If I returned, I'd probably select something else off the menu. Too bad they stop serving breakfast items early (no breakfast after 10:30am), especially with such limited business hours, it's a bit inconvenient for me.

    More lettuce than anything

    Matt and I were walking to get a sweet treat at Stella and saw the big green "First Cheesesteak…read moreShop" banner on the awning here. We felt that a juicy cheesesteak would pair excellently with the chili we had already planned to eat for dinner so we stopped in. The two guys working were super friendly in greeting us and striking up a conversation. We ordered the mushroom cheesesteak and the guy in the back got to work cooking it up immediately. The interior space for waiting and sitting is pretty cramped, but even on a Friday night perhaps just by chance there were no other customers. I can't say that I've had many cheesesteaks before but meat with cheese and mushrooms on bread really cannot be bad. I've always been a fan of mushrooms and ordered the last cheesesteak I can remember with mushrooms as well so I figured it would be a safe bet. I'm a big fan of the staff. The cashier noticed we had picked up some other items already and offered us another bag to consolidate those items. I would totally come back and recommend it to anybody looking for a quick and delicious dinner!

    I'm back! old, have NOT been well ... anyway …read more.. JAKE's Steaks Philly Cheese Steak! is the calling card You will LOVE it! I went there knowing that I would get the ULTIMATE Philly Cheese Steak experience .... I did But! I found out that I am no longer a Philly Cheese Steak guy, I am just NOT into CHEESE , as I was, in years gone by. So ! I saved the half, that I didn't eat! for a friend, who lives next door. and, I ordered the Jake's Hamburger, no cheese. I was SHOCKED ! If you follow me, you know that all of my hamburger s, are based on my comparisons to; B & J's , on Third Street, San Francisco, 94124 ; based on -- being a DINOSAUR --, my father, 'God rest his soul, introduced me to B&J's , as a child. Jake's knocked them out !!!! Better 'grade' of meat. Unbelievable taste. You WANTED to eat all of it, it's "BIGGER " than the B&J's. It's juicy and spills onto your plate . A two-handed sandwich. Best, hamburger, ever. I am no longer into cheeseburgers. But, they have a varied variety of Philly Cheese Steaks and/or hamburgers/cheeseburgers. Sadly, B&J's bit the dust. So, I swear by B&J's fries. It's close, but, I'm also giving it to Jake's. But, not by much. They are different, not shaped like regular fries; plus, you get MORE of them, too. There is a selection of soft drinks that goes back to the'60's, '70's. Real Crème Soda, real Root Beers. Too many varieties to list. Pricy - you get what you pay for. Your money is WELL SPENT. But! The ambience falls WAY short. They get upscale, new age, Dot Com, who order 'take-out' to come get it, so tables, chairs, lighting is Not a forte's. There's no ambiance, you will probably be eating alone. You can bring lots of friends. Handicap accessible - barely . Bathroom clean. SHOCKED! I just found out B&J's has a bathroom, after 60 years. I didn't even WANT to SEE it. Without looking at the B&J's, I know that Jake's is better. Lolol B&J's isn't even TRYING!! Valencia Street - no parking, generally.

Metro Caffe has two fake meat options for their sandwiches, either a Boca or a garden burger patty that's chopped up and grilled with cheese and onions! There's a few extra options to add as toppings: extra cheese, extra meat, peppers, avocado, mushrooms, etc. as well as burgers, hot dogs and a good range of sides. I decided to try the Boca burger cheesesteak sandwich while my partner got the turkey. The first thing we noticed was how amazingly soft the bread was, a big difference compared to other cheesesteak restaurants. The sandwiches also aren't huge and overfilled.... which surprisingly is what we prefer! We were able to eat everything and didn't feel like we had taken a bomb to our stomachs, which usually happens after a big cheese filled sandwich. On top of that, the sandwiches were delicious. The grilled onions were good and the cheese melted well and got into all the bits of the sandwich and meat fillings. Our food came out piping hot but not so bad that we had to wait too long before we could eat. The shop is small but there's indoor and outdoor seating and it's close to a few parks and bars that will let you bring in food. Service was quick and the workers were nice and friendly. Definitely a great replacement for the cheesesteak shops we've been losing lately, we're definitely returning!
