I'm on a mission to find the best cheap eats from small businesses in San Francisco. Here are my favorites so far. If you're ever craving some incredible Burmese style noodles, Yamon the Mission is that girl! And one of very few sit-down places where you'll see their entire menu under $10. El Fadolito, off of the 24th Street Parts Station, is truly one of my go-to's for a mission burrito. So generous with their portions. Also love that they close at 3 a.m. Whenever I'm out and about getting drinks in the mission, ending with the Fadolito burrito is a must. For some fresh, spicy salmon poque, Bassa, seafood, express, never disappoints with their quality. For some of the most delicious Papuses you'll find in the Bay Area. And Cheetah's is a spa. I do a great happy hour during the week 3 to 5 p.m. Two Papuses, $8, will you? I did take a gummy before this. Late was calling my name. So this was more around $14. Still very reasonable on price and those plantains were something else. I recently just discovered a new favorite spot for tacos. This is Alpastor Papi downtown. Highly recommend getting their tacos Alpastor, Al Tropo. Basically just the most delicious pork pineapple taco. And they have a great house salsa too. Last but not least, Ari Smelly does a super the week in pizza of the day. I'm so glad that they brought back their pumpkin coconut curry soup. Get that with the slice of their pizza.
