The Mission is dirty, and it's violent, and it's loud, and the crackheads shamelessly light up in front of me at the bus stop in broad daylight (that's a contact high I want to avoid) - but MAN ALIVE, the Mexican food is muy muy muy delicioso! It's become a Saturday morning tradition for Matty and I (along with the occasional roomate/houseguest) to eat a late breakfast at a particular authentic Mexican restaurant on the corner of our street. I'd tell you the name, but I've always been too distracted to look it up. It's that good.
I always order the Huevos Rancheros with either a cup of black coffee or (if I'm feeling loco) a Mexican Coke. Just LOOK at this delicious footage!
Soooooo good. And now back to my oatmeal. Weeeee.

I feel that I should note: in regards to the "violence" in the Mission - I still feel way safer in the Mission than I ever did in downtown Rochester, NY. Sad.

Hey- I totally left you a comment yesterday and it mysteriously disappeared. Boo.
Also, that breakfast looks delicious. One more reason to visit in San Fran!

S: grrrr.... yeah, I've been having "permission" issues on this blog. For some reason, most comments go through - but some are requiring approval first (despite my settings saying otherwise). And well, a comment totally disappearing is a new one to me (though I think I might have accidentally deleted it while accessing my control panel from my phone last night - something funky did happen). Ah well, good to know! And when you come to visit, we'll eat all sorts of yummy stuff!

Stupid question perhaps - what is a Mexican Coke?

R: I'm so glad you asked! I was going to blog about it eventually, but I'll just reveal it here: a Mexican coke, aside from the obvious fact that it's made in Mexico - contains real cane sugar versus corn syrup. The result is a more natural, sweeter and super tasty Coke. Oh, and it's served in a glass bottle.

The Mexican place near me has Mexican coke. It is good. I think I'm going to let it be the only coke that I drink from now on.

Oh, okay. It's like most Coke internationally (ie. much better).
I thought it was some sort of mysterious mixed drink, like an Irish Coffee but with Coke and...tequila?

N: It's the only Coke I'll drink... and the glass bottle makes me feel as though I'm living in olden times.
R: Sorry, yeah, "international" style. And BTW, Coke with Tequila is called "lunch" :)

Yum!!! That looks good. :)
I love Mexican Coke. It's the only coke I drink - once you have had coke with real sugar, it's hard to drink the corn syrup kind again. (Also I only drink soda probably once a week haha)

We were out in San Fran in 06 and I almost cried when I finished my awesome Mission Burrito.

J: (oops, your comment was locked for moderation and I didn't see an alert - sorry for the delay in posting!) - I agree. I have more of a salt tooth, so the occasional Mexican coke is about all I can handle on the sugar front. Makes me hyper for like, 5 minutes... then I craaaaash Zzzzzzzz...
D: that's a common reaction. Matty had one for dinner tonight and I had a few bites. I usually order mine in a bowl since I can't have the flour tortilla.
