Growing up my family always enjoyed going to the warf and buying a freshly cooked crab, along with a loaf of fresh baked sour dough bread from the Boudin Bakery and having picnic sitting on the docks watching the boats and the bay. It was a cheap and authentic San Francisco meal -

When in doubt, ask a local where to go. A hotel concierge is always a great source. Check with the barrista that makes your coffee in the morning or the bartender in the hotel lounge. Also check out local review websites like or the free local papers, like The Guardian or SF Examiner.

I know several people have mentioned Chinatown for cheap eats--just make sure you get off the main drag. The Capital Restaurant is especially good, and it's about a block off of Grant, though you can see it from there. Be good at using chopsticks--they have no western utensils. Also good is Japantown, which has a lot of noodle shops; those tend to be very cheap.

It's possible to get completely filled up for under $5 in Chinatown. Also try the Haight or the Richmond district for cheap eats!

Taqueria Cancun has the *best* and biggest burritos in the city - and they're very cheap too. Two locations: Mission/19th and Market/6th. (Careful - both neighborhoods can become slightly unsafe at times.) Enjoy!!!
