    Chocolate soft served chocolate dipped on a cake cone.

    The hero of 4th of July 2026. This one man show served hundreds if not thousands of fireworks goers at Crissy Field. The line was long and slow but the ice cream dip was 10 out of 10 delicious. Not just a light crispy dip of chocolate but a thick soft perfectly dipped cone. Great prices and delicious flavor. If you see this truck stop and give the man a tip!

    Organic soft serve dipped in tcho chocolate. Best soft serve in the Bay Area.

    My favorite ice cream in the Bay Area! I read a (thankfully wrong) comment on reddit that Twirl and Dip had closed and have been mourning it for a few months. So I was extra excited to spot the twirl and dip truck outside tunneltops playground at the presidio on a Saturday afternoon! Same amazing ice cream made of the most quality local ingredients--organic milk, tcho chocolate and Mitchell's ice cream if you choose hard serve. We always get tcho chocolate-dipped twist cones. The best in the world. And they're huge! Not sure how they have kept their prices down $5 a cone, $2 extra for dip. Meanwhile, I paid $5 each for run-of-the-mill ice cream sandwiches from an ice cream cart for my daughters at Golden Gate Park recently.

    The dude and I came to Twirl and Dip at San Francisco Golden Gate Park on 11/11/23. We stumbled upon this absolutely delicious ice cream spot by accident. There was a long line but it makes sense as the ice cream is out of this world. We waited about 45 minutes. We liked the vintage style of the ice cream truck and the dude inside was slaying it ALL by themself! So impressive. I got the honey comb ice cream which was delicious and the dude got something similar as well. My mouth waters for this sooooo tasty and delicious. You have to try it. They ran out of fudge but only that dip chocolate which was good but made it a little challenging to eat as the chocolate immediately froze . It was like I was fighting with my ice cream with honey comb pieces dancing around it. But once I got the groove of it . It was well. Overall, if in the San Frann area you must give this place a try and make sure to leave a tip as this place hands down is probably one of the tastiest treats!

    Really delicious soft serve. I'm so glad I got it! It's a little pricey ($6 for soft serve, $2 for dip, $.50 for sprinkles) but very tasty. Enough ice cream to share!

    I ordered the V&C Twirl. It was a happy surprise tasting vanilla bean. Also great was getting an appropriate serving size for the price. There was an extremely nice server doing his best to keep up with the long lines on a nice summer day in Cali.

    Vanilla cone with Chocolate dip
    Farhana M.

    Started the new year off visiting golden gate park, and definitely had to visit the Twirl and Dip truck! I got a vanilla cone (the non-waffle cone option) with chocolate dip and the total was $8. I really enjoyed the chocolate, its so soft when you bite it. It doesnt snap off and fall to the ground like regular dips. The vanilla soft serve has vanilla specks in it! Super tasty The wait is very long though... think we waited an hour on line. My partner was getting very impatient, while i was fine with waiting. So it's up to you and your patience on whether you think this ice cream is worth it or not.

    Ice cream truck in Golden Gate Park. A nice afternoon snack. Not my favorite ice cream ever, but it's what was available, and it hit the spot. Long line, but moved reasonably fast. Nice guy.

    I was excited to find this truck in the Golden Gate Park on a warm day. There is not many soft serve options in the Bay Area so definitely a good option! A bit pricy for a cone but lots of toppings to choose from

    Found the truck in Golden Gate Park behind the bandstand. Great place to get an ice cream and enjoy a nice day. I got the vanilla soft serve on a regular cone with the signature chocolate dip. Definitely wait until the dip hardens before eating to appreciate the chocolate thickness. Everything tasted good. Would definitely get it again though the $7 price seems a little extreme. But I guess that is the price of doing business in San Francisco. Thank you for the extra napkins though. Payment is cash or Venmo only.

    Twist soft serve, dipped in chocolate,  topped with Almonds
    Mari B.

    I was heading to the museum when I came upon the food trucks and I had to try rhe soft serve. I like the options available llike chocolate and vanilla soft serve or twist (swirl) mix of both flavors. There are different topping options like sprikles, chocolate chips (homemade), almonds, and you can dip and add a cone if you choose so. There is also ice cream available if you prefer ice cream vs. Soft serve. They had coffee and strawberry. Both were very flavorful as well. The strawberry wws our favorite! The menu is a little confusing and unclear because it was written in chalk on the outside of the truck and was fadding/rubbed off in certain spots. I would recommend they find a better way to deliver menu options. Definitely give them a try if you are an ice cream or soft serve fan!

    We stumbled upon this truck when it was parked behind the Music Concourse in Golden Gate Park. It was a sunny day, so there was a bit of a line, but it was soo worth the wait. The soft serve (we got vanilla and chocolate) was delicious, the waffle cone tasted fresh, and they were generous with toppings.

    Vanilla dipped cone with a side of fog
    Shelley T.

    Was craving froyo the other day and found out that this truck is in front of the Academy of Sciences! On what started out as a warm day, I was excited to take a walk and get some froyo. As luck would have it, as soon as we stepped outside the fog had rolled in and the line was moving super slowly for froyo. But the cold and the long wait would not prevent me from fulfilling my craving! By the time I got my froyo the fog was so thick I could barely see the ferris wheel. I got a classic vanilla dipped cone and the TCHO chocolate was pretty thick. I expected a thin shell but it was legit fancy chocolate. My boyfriend got a vanilla cone with rainbow sprinkles and I swear the kid before us got more sprinkles than us lol. Just because he doesn't look like a kid doesn't mean he love sprinkles like one . Overall it is a little pricey but the ingredients are quality and my craving was fulfilled!

    SPARK Social SF is one of those places we end up at again and again, usually without overplanning…read moreit. It just works. Open air, a mix of food trucks, people hanging out, dogs everywhere, and that easy San Francisco energy where you can show up however you are and it fits. It never feels like a production, just a good place to land. We have eaten our way through a decent chunk of the trucks at this point, and that is half the fun. One day it is something messy and indulgent, the next it is lighter, but it always hits. Grabbing a drink, finding a spot at the picnic tables, and slowly settling in as the place fills up is kind of the rhythm. It is social without being overwhelming, lively without being chaotic. What keeps us coming back is how consistent it feels in the best way. It is easy, flexible, and always a good time whether you stay for an hour or lose an entire afternoon there. It is the kind of spot that turns into a routine before you even realize it, and honestly, we are not mad about it.

Big ones (company-sponsored), small ones (a group…read moreof friends huddling at a table), really any of them, because they have a couple different set ups that are open for reservations, but they can also accommodate walk-ins with the abundance of seating. Beyond that, the food and drinks are all food truck based. They are all quite good, and there's a wide variety of items. This also means a good variety for folks with different dietary needs, because they are mostly picking their own food. I have always enjoyed my time here, whether it's on company dime or if I'm just hanging out with friends. I do wish that there are more heaters around for the colder days but that's just life in the bay! It can be kind of cold and foggy all seasons here, so if you have a solid group of folks I'd recommend reserving a spot with a fire pit. One more note: parking can be tough. You either have to circle around for street parking, or rideshare here.

    What's better than the ocean/beach and tacos?!?…read more I've been a super fan of Leo's tacos since my LA days, and when Leo brought one of his food trucks up to the Bay Area, it was inevitable that I would try out the tacos! The Leo's taco truck literally is located in San Francisco/Ocean Beach with a view of the Pacific Ocean. Leo's taco trucks are known in Southern California as THE taco truck for reasonably priced street tacos, that are beyond delicious. The experience at the San Francisco/Ocean Beach taco truck was great. For the most part it mirrors the LA experience, which is exactly what I wanted. It's like having a piece of home. Menu prices are nonexistent so there's no way to determine exactly what you're going to be charged. I ordered two Al pastor tacos, and was charged seven dollars which included tax. I really like that they always include a piece of pineapple with the Al Pastor. The tacos were absolutely yummy. The meat was flavorful, but definitely not as juicy as the LA version. Plus, they don't seem to be as generous with meat at this location as they are in LA. The talk of themselves are not the traditional small street tacos, and yet they're smaller than the traditional sized tacos. They do provide bagged condiments that include sauces and radish. I was super hesitant to try them because of some of the other reviews. Tasty tacos, and if you've ever been to Leo's, and you, in this part of the Bay Area, it's definitely worth a stop.

I normally don't buy lunch when I'm in the office. I usually do meal preps, but now, I check their calendar to see if they're going to be at the Ferry Building so I can pick up a sandwich for lunch. That's how much I like them. And even pitching the idea of getting catering from them for our next work gathering.

Expect to wait in line for chicken and the porchetta sandwich during lunch hours. WHOLE ROLIROTI GOURMET ROTISSERIE CHICKEN ~ dark meat was good while the white meat was dry. They need some kind of dipping sauce or something for it. Seasoning was not evenly spread out so some parts were saltier on the skin. Lots of herbs like thyme and rosemary. Just too bad the meat didn't stay juicy. 3.5/5 ROTISSERIE PORCHETTA SANDWICH ~ skin was crispy and burnt, so it was bitter yet crunchy. Pork was tender, but I didn't taste much of the jam. I did not like the bitter burnt skin. I personally thought it threw the flavor off. If it wasn't bitter, it would have scored higher. I always enjoy bread toasted when having a sandwich. Sadly, they don't toast it. My friend loves this sandwich and told me the skin wasn't supposed to be crunchy and burnt! So I'm assuming this wasn't typical. 3/5 The 4 of us shared the whole chicken and split the porchetta sandwich. But hearing that the sandwich wasn't made correctly this time around, I'm compelled to give it another try in the future.

There were plenty of craft vendors and food vendors, organized space-wise by category: craft vendors were closer to the entrance, food vendors were farther in. My favorites from the craft side were the amount of curated clothes sellers!! Soooo many cute jackets, dresses, tops, skirts, shoes, and bags. There were also a couple music stages playing music -- I liked that they had enough space between them so the sound didn't overlap when you were trying to listen to the artist(s) at either stage. The stage in the back was more of a DJ set, playing house music, and the stage in front had live music -- they had a full band and even a group playing an Irish jig earlier in the day, which was very fun. There were plenty of alcohol stations all around -- in the back, in the front, lining the whole perimeter of the event. There was also a good variety of crafts and a solid selection of food vendors. My only wish is that there had been more sweet options because there were tons of savory options. But overall, everything was very diverse, looked great, and was interesting and unique -- you had Nepali food, Indonesian food, Indian food, Mexican food, etc. -- very ethnically diverse. Overall, I think this is a great event and opportunity to spend time with loved ones (fun for adults and families alike!), grab a bite, and support local businesses! The friend I came with said the market has grown so much since before the pandemic, so it's lovely to see the community show up and show out for this. I hope OTG and WCC continue to host this market! Capelo's Barbecue: My friend and I ordered from Capelo's Barbecue's food truck. We got the 3-meat plate with beef brisket, pork ribs, and BBQ smoked chicken. First -- that line was hella long. We waited about 30 minutes (not including the wait after for the food), but it was fun since I had my friend to talk to. The layout of the menu and pricing were quite clear, so it was easy to decide what we wanted while we waited in line. Also, no dedicated seating area for the truck (night market!). The meats: beef brisket and pork ribs were an extra $2 each on the meat plate. The beef brisket was my favorite -- super smoky and so tender, almost melt-in-your-mouth, but not mushy. Just the perfect texture. Honestly, I wish it had a little more salt to add another layer of flavor besides just meat and smoke, but I still enjoyed the heck out of that brisket. The pork ribs were solid -- not the most amazing ribs I've ever had, but good flavor and texture. They weren't fall-off-the-bone tender, but they had a satisfying chew. I had to put some effort into tearin' the flesh from the bone with my teeth (as you do with ribs), and I liked that. The BBQ smoked chicken? Honestly, nothing special. It was a good, neutral option compared to the brisket and ribs, but the main flavor I picked up was black pepper. Solid chicken breast, but nothing memorable. Even the skin was meh. For the sides, we chose the baked beans and mac and cheese. The baked beans were wonderfully sweet and savory -- they paired perfectly with the BBQ. The mac and cheese was good and worked well with everything, but it wasn't particularly special on its own. Altogether, I think we paid around $32 for the plate. If I hadn't been splitting it with another person, honestly, I don't know if it would've been worth it -- but it was good in the moment. Quite tasty overall.

    Being a native Bay Area person, I always heard about the burrito wars in San Francisco's Mission…read moreDistrict. Over the years I've found myself drawn to the other contender in the Mission way more than El Farolito, so I decided it was time to head back to try this legendary burrito shop. Getting to this location is super simple as we took BART and got off at the 24th Street Mission BART station and from there it's a very short walk of less than a block to get to El Farolito. Walking into the shop one is just slapped in the face with the beautiful smells of the carne asada cooking on the grill right by the door-it's wonderful. It's a modest place that you can definitely tell was built many years ago,so no overly modern amenities-this place cares about the food, not the ambiance. We ended up going with a couple of super burritos of Carne Asada ($11.25) & a regular burrito of Al Pastor($10.25) & also added two tacos one with Al Pastor and one with Carne Asada($4.75) They had beers at $4.75-so we grabbed a couple of Modelos. First the tacos-they were just ok,the tacos were crunchy and I don't know kind of gave Taco Bell vibes. Burritos though-that's a whole different animal. The burrito was so well made from the chew of the tortilla to the seasoning of the carne asada to the perfect balance and mix of all the other ingredients.I judge a burrito harshly if the mix isn't right and you don't get every ingredient in every bite and the mix at El Farolito was flawless. The price point was pretty impressive as well. In closing, El Farolito has always been in the mix as one of the top burrito spots in the Mission, and I can say with confidence that it's in my Top 2 in San Francisco currently. It's an incredible burrito and a true "must-visit" spot when visiting San Francisco. P.S. Just a slight heads up when visiting , it's not the safest neighborhood in the world, so just keep your head up when visiting-this is a place one visits for the food experience not the ambiance.

    I called ahead to place my order because I saw the line was massive and figured calling in advance…read morewould save me some time. After waiting about 30 minutes, I assumed my order would be ready when I arrived. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. They don't actually prepare the order ahead of time you still have to wait in the long line, then pay and apparently have the order made afterward. Honestly, what is the point of calling ahead if you're still required to stand in the same line and wait? I understand that they may be busy, but the whole purpose of calling ahead should be to make the process quicker and more convenient. The food may be good, but the ordering process was frustrating and completely defeated the purpose of calling ahead. Two stars from me based on the experience.
