Street Food

Roli Roti Best pork sandwich ever. Chicken is underseasoned. I like the duck when it's available (although it's also a bit underseasoned. The roasted pork is continuously marinated in rendered fat and is obviously delicious.
Namu Claim to have invented the Korean taco. Also at the San Francisco Ferry Building on Thursday's. A Fanny Singer recommendation.
4505 Meats The DIY butcher also does truck food, also at the SF Ferry Building on Thursday's. A Fanny Singer recommendation. You can taste the food quality, but I don't crave any of their food. There are better craft hot dogs, sausages, etc. Except for their chicharrones. Their chicharrones are exceptional.
Let's Be Frank On weekends and holidays at Crissy Field. A Fanny Singer recommendation.
Taco El Ray In Berkeley at the foot of Ashby Ave. A Fanny Singer recommendation.
Peko-Peko A Fanny Singer recommendation.
El Tonayense These much lauded taco trucks in the Mission are good, but nothing to write home about. Can get equivalent tacos at local taquerias.
