Foodspotting: Try the Pilsner & Apple Omelette
Sabina B.: Great for brunch, dinner menu is a bit limited. Start with the pear pop tarts followed by the crab frittata or truffle omelet
Kendall Thornton: Here's your perfect brunch for two: madras bloody Marys, seasonal poptart, caramel pecan sticky bun, champagne omelette, and croque madame

SFist: San Jalisco has your hangover covered in multiple ways on the weekend including some great chilaquiles, a selection of more Euro-style omelettes, and the traditional spicy tripe soup known as menudo. Read more.
Vansi: The Birra Seca (grilled lamb) is juicy, spicy, and great!
SFGate: This dine-in Mexican spot, a rarity in San Francisco, is an especially good place for brunch. Breakfast is served all day, and we adore the chilaquiles Veronica, named after an employee. Read more.

Tantek Çelik: Get a Breakfast burrito, Spanish omelette style, no rice, and make it super.
Cameron Walters: Order the pescado burrito, super, with pinto beans. It's the best fish burrito in the Mission.
7x7 Magazine: Have some good ol' chips and salsa...it's #46 on 7x7's Big Eat SF 2010. Read more.
Alex Dobyan: Absolutely the most amazing pupusas of my life. Get one of the combos, you won't regret it (need a lil side of beans with these bad boys).
Matthew Joseph: I highly recommend "pupusas con loroco y queso" (pupusas with loroco flower and cheese). Don't be afraid; loroco "flower" is just a kind of green veggie--they pick the blossoms before they bloom.
AskMen: The Salvadorean papusas at the bare bones 16th Street location are the best in the Mission. A papusa is a thick corn tortilla stuffed with pork, cheese or beans, sounds great to us.

Ceej: The owners are SO nice! Lovely outdoor seating with fun people watching, too.
Chris Messina: Great little dinner spot. Just romantic enough to be kosher for dinner with friends, but enough ambiance in case you're feeling more amorous.
Emily Pinkerton: The best latte I've had in years. Take that, Ritual!
