We like Taquiero Lindo, Portrero Viejo, Guadalajara, El Meson del Fernando, Hacienda. I know there are others. One of these times we'll get to the stalls by the fish market.

Bradburyesqu Posted September 9, 2015 #31 Share Posted September 9, 2015 We don't go until the last week of October. I can't come quick enough that is for sure. People are already saying I'm crazy to be eating seafood off street carts. I don't care. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care. lol I eat off the carts 1x or 2x/wk but I live in MX and am used to it, know which vendors thoroughly cook their vittles and the ones who don't. If you are jumping off a cruise ship and feel the need to grab a bite from a cart, understand the risk. The wrong cart and there goes your cruise.

Bradburyesqu Posted September 9, 2015 #33 Share Posted September 9, 2015 That's why you always look for local. If there is a line of locals lined up you are good. If it's a bunch of cruise goers or no line, skip it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not alone traveling by your stomach. Many times we research restaurants rather than tourist spots. We did the California Coastal on the Crown last March. It was interesting sailing to cities only a short drive from home--San Francisco is 6 hours and Ensenada is only 3 hours away. Going north a few weeks ago we had to take a detour to San Francisco. Had a good crab cake sandwich at the take out at Boudin's. Bought several loaves of sourdough, including the raisin chocolate sourdough. **** The restaurants in my list above are all within a block of the tourist street and we've never had a problem. Also Mexican Popsicles (paletas) and ice cream is very good. La Michoacana is the local chain. There's one up the street from Taquiero Lindo.

Just a question about san Fran, I was planning on going to Boudin's to try the Clam chowder in the sour dough bun would that be the best place to try it, as my mum raved about it 24 years ago and I am following her trip around as she past away 18 years ago now. But really want to try a nice one. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SadieN Posted September 10, 2015 #39 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Boudin's has two restaurants. Upstairs is a sit down and downstairs is a takeaway counter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But really want to try a nice one. :) Best is pretty subjective, but Boudin's calm chowder is very good. The truth about San Francisco is that it's such a food centric city that bad restaurants don't last long. If a place has been open more then a couple months chances are it is pretty good. Personally I like Scoma's over Boudin's. Then again I also prefer cioppino to chowder. There is nothing more San Francisco then Cioppino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicolamac Posted September 11, 2015 #41 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Thanks for that the only reason I am doing the chowder is that she talked about it all of the time when she got home. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
