SF's Best Food Cart Secret San Francisco

$4.25 Bahn Mi to go

"San Francisco's Best Food Cart Secret is this: Bahn Mis on Market Street for $4.25. The real secret is to call early and make your sandwich reservation!"

One afternoon, I happened to be walking down Market street to work, and stumbled upon a blue easy-up just off the corner of busy Market street. I could smell the delicious BBQ pork and just knew I had to check it out. Unfortunately, I was sort of out of luck that day because they were all out of the best sandwiches! I decided to get the last one they had left, ham, which was still quite tasty. However, after a couple minutes of small talk with the owner, he told me his pro tip: call early and have them put aside your order until you can pick it up.

This man stands at his easy-up every weekday for about 3 hours or until they sell out. They also have a restaurant location in the Tenderloin, but the pop-up is a bit easier to get to for the folks working in SoMa on lunchbreaks. They have so many amazing Vietnamese dishes and for really fantastic prices. When I finally did call back and get my hands on one of those BBQ pork Bahn Mi, I was truly in heaven.

Cash only, they stay open only until they sell out.

Damnfine Pizza

Best Pizza West of Divis

The name of the business, for once, is no lie, it is pretty dang fine. A personal favorite is the Pig in the Woods: pancetta, enoki, garlic, fresh mozzarella, and truffle.
