On the main concourse of The Presidio we had a good selection of cuisines to choose from several food trucks. Borsch Mobile grabbed us. The potato dumplings were good, we upgraded them with bacon and caramelized onions. While ingredients were quality and food costs are ever rising I still had sticker shock when it cost almost $50 (including tip) for two dumpling orders and two sodas. read more

Fantastic! If you're in for borscht, there's not many places in San Francisco, but the Borsch Mobile hits it well. This latest time I went, I got the grilled cheese and borscht soup. The soup is flavorful, the portion reasonable for the price and I'm happy they include a dollop of sour cream with it. The only gripe I have it with it sometimes is that it could be hotter. I recommend the grilled cheese with the soup as it's like a grilled cheese + tomato soup, but swap it out with borscht! It's a food truck, so usual service, but they're almost always quick on the soup. Grab them at the Tunnel Tops or Levi Plaza if you want a great spot to dine! read more

I was so looking forward to trying the dumplings here as the ones I've had at an another Ukrainian restaurant several years ago were so good. Light and airy, filled with seasoned meat and topped with onions and sour cream. Sadly, not the case here. The dumplings were dense and flavorless. If there was chicken inside I couldn't tell. It was mixed with this clumpy Alfredo looking sauce. Just disappointing. read more

The Borscht Mobile was at Outside Lands this year which I ate at often since it was the only food that wasn't outrageously overpriced. I really like borscht, it's a good filling meal that is healthy. I usually just stick to that here, but they do have a few other offerings like dumplings, pirozhki, and a burrito with buckwheat and potatoes. I didn't like the burrito so much though the aioli was good. I've had buckwheat before and thought it was decent, but I didn't like the taste in a burrito. I think some people might enjoy it if they are into fusion food and it seems healthier. They used to be at Spark Social a lot in Mission Bay before Covid but now it looks like they are mainly at the new park at the Presidio as well as Levi's Plaza. read more

I want people to try Central European food and I guess this is a good introduction if you haven't had it very much. I got the potato dumplings and if I hadn't been eating them all my life they were good enough (but a little on the pricy side considering the serving size) - for me the stuffing was bland in flavor and feels like a bit of a gut bomb. Ingredients were very fresh and Service was fast. read more

The Beef Stroganoff is so good ! it is a must have. Highly recommended. I would recommend everyone to come and try this place, especially burrito with buckwheat and pelmeni !also, dumplings served with sour cream? that is a treat read more

I had heard about this food truck for awhile now and was very excited to try. We were unfortunately left very disappointed. They were at Tunnel Tops Park in SF along with several other food trucks. We ordered: 1) Chicken dumplings which came topped with sour cream & green onions. (This came in a small portion size for $13 which was probably more like appetizer sized than a meal. It also was slightly mushy and not very flavorful. Trader Joe use to sell a frozen pelmeni entree which tasted just as good at half the price and double the portion size. Hmm..) 2) - Pirozhki Baked buns (potato & mushroom filling) (The filling was predominantly potato and it was very dry. Some sauce might have helped or even more mushrooms.) 3) Beef brisket sandwich (This looked good, but unfortunately, the beef brisket was not seasoned so it was flavorless and the meat was also dry. Luckily, there was slaw included or the entire sandwich would have been very dry.) Disappointed that this did not live up to the hype. read more

Caught them again the other day and got the "russian burrito" which I never thought was a phrase I'd throw out there but I guess anything can go in a burrito. Here that anything is brisket, kasha, and mushrooms with some sour cream and for some reason sriracha. It pretty much works. read more

Don't even know where to start. These were one of the most disappointing dumplings I had in my recent past -- I felt there was dough inside as well as outside. The folks sold us kvas ($5) and we got Diet Coke ($3?) instead. Instead of caramelized onions (we paid extra for them) we got a drop of chives. Overall, I cannot recommend this place. There are much better options in SF read more

It was my first time trying borsch! I had no idea it was going to be SO pink!!! It was pretty yummy. Not something I would get often but definitely nice to try. Don't wear anything white while trying to eat it lol. Flavor wise- Not as sweet as I thought it was going to be. With the sour cream it became a sweet savory type of soup and I quite liked it. I also got chicken pellmini dumplings and it came with mushrooms, bacon, green onions, all on top of the white sauce. It was pretty good! Like pasta but the dumplings were more filling. I also got a mushroom piroshky and it was yummy. The owner was really nice and gave me a russian candy with my order. It was like a chocolate wafer thing. Also very yummy! :))) I really enjoyed the food from this food truck. And it was really nice to see this Russian food in the mix for some of the recent Off the Grid events in Foster city. They also have a really nice eye catching design on their truck. read more

I'm always willing to try food from anywhere, especially one of the old countries, but I just felt this truck was okay. I was the Foodeaze truck court on second and while I had heard Borsch Mobile, I had never tried it. I like Pelmeni, so figured I'd give it a shot over some of my regulars. What probably caught my eye the most was the neon green tarragon soda. I mean, for curiosities sake, you have to give it a shot. It was okay, definitely tasted like carbonated tarragon. I did enjoy pulling out the Google Translate on the bottle. As for the Pelmeni, I fear they put way too much sour cream on it. The dumplings were good, but next time I'd ask for the sour cream on the side. The potatoes were fine, they're potatoes. Same with the cabbage slaw. Yeah, nothing really blew me away. Not saying I wouldn't give this truck another try, but would try something different, and do definitely recommend giving it a try. It is different, nice people. Maybe Korean burritos and Hawaiian plates have spoiled me. read more

Eastern European food is a bit underrepresented in San Francisco, definitely so in the food truck community. With popular trend of making every fusion permutation possible with a taco or burrito, it's nice to see some classics being served. Overall, pretty hearty food for the portion size. Borsch: Had to try the eponymous dish. It was perfect for a chilly (by San Francisco standards) lunch outside. It was a tad chunkier than borsch I'm used to, but I liked it. The veggies were mostly matchstick sized, so it wasn't overwhelming. Only gripe was that they were skimpy on the sour cream. Siberian Pelmeni: I'm more of a pierogi guy, but the pelmeni is growing on me. It's got the meaty density of a Chinese dumpling, but with spices that are distinctly Eastern European. That would be dill and a whole lot of sour cream. Very rich, also another great lunch option on a chilly-ish day. Mixed Berries Mors: Not quite fruit juice. More like chilled fruit broth or tea. The boiling of fruit and sugar infuses a very deep taste, that isn't found just mixing juice, water and sugar together cold. read more

Food was great and so was the service! Would definitely recommend checking this place out.

Mediocre Eastern European food. We tried the stuffed bell pepper combination plate ($13) and chose the salad and sour cabbage as our 2 sides. The sides were decent, but the stuffed pepper was just layers of nondescript mush. My boyfriend's mom makes these amazing stuffed peppers so these paled in comparison and we did not finish all of it. Came with a free piece chocolate with little bears! Tastes like a Kit Kat! read more

Russian restaurants are quite rare, but a Russian Food Truck? That's an anomaly. This is probably the most refreshing food truck experience I've had in a while. You know what to expect on the menu for most food trucks, gimmicky fusion cuisine with your choice of meat on top of fries, rice, or wrapped in a tortilla. We've seen it all before. Borsch has no gimmicks of that sort. Just delicious food that won't weigh you down and make you regret having it on a workday. I had the Beef Tongue Sandwich with roasted potatoes and a salad on the side. Fresh ciabatta, holding beef tongue that proves again why it's probably the best cut to put in a sandwich. The potatoes are done the right way beside a salad that's not just dressed up lettuce. A piece of chocolate given to you as a token of their generosity. How could you not want to come back again? read more

First time trying Borsch Mobile Great selection of popular Russian dishes: beef stroganoff, Russian pelmeni, Borsch, etc. I ordered pelmeni, which are meat dumplings served with sour cream, yummy!!! Unexpectedly got a free dessert: chocolate candy which can beat Belgian chocolate, thank you :) Looking forward to next week! read more

When I saw a Russian food truck near me, I just had to check it out. I'm exceedingly glad that I did. I ordered the beef stroganoff, which comes with Russian-style slaw and sliced pickles. Served over buckwheat, the stroganoff was excellent: great flavor and texture, and a perfect portion for me. The buckwheat was a nice change from noodles and added to the aforementioned texture without weighing the already hearty dish down. The slaw and the pickles each provided a nice palate-cleansing counterpoint between bites. The slaw was made of crunchy cabbage accentuated with some carrots, tossed in a light dressing with a hint of black pepper. Whereas some slaw can be overwhelmed with vinegar, this was subtle and begged to be tasted again. The pickles were fantastic: sour, but not too sour, and almost spicy, yet not. They packed a solid punch and were everything I have ever wanted a dill pickle to be. The Russian candy was a nice touch, as well. I can't wait until they are near me again and I can try more of their cooking. read more

I think about 3 of these stars are just for being Eastern European food honestly, you don't see that a lot. The pelmeni was great! The sour cream coating made it perfect and it was nice to have the sides. The borsch was alright, but i think maybe it's just not my taste. I agree with another reviewer that they really could give you more sour cream for it. Service was quick and friendly. Note: their menu was different than the one online. Was looking forward to the salo mini sandwiches but no joy. read more

I think this is one of the best food trucks overall and a great place to try and fall in love with Russian food. The borscht tastes like my childhood. It tastes like the good part of my childhood. I like the salo sandwich!. Salo is a delicious type of pig fat which is different from lard and bacon in US. Salo melts in your moulth and salo is what butter wishes it could be. Borsh Mobile serves delicious salo sandwiches. They also serve fresh and delicate meat dumplings called pelmeni. You eat with sour cream and dill. If you are a vegetarian, you will be delighted with the vegetarian offerings at Borsh Mobile . If you are lucky enough to be in the vicinity of this amazing food truck, do not pass by. Stop and enjoy delicious Ukrainian and Russian cuisine! read more

This was my first time trying Russian food and let me tell you I have been missing out on life!!! I ordered the beef tongue sandwich...and boy was it delicious!!!!!

My son and I stumbled across the Borsch Mobile when we visited the new Salesforce Transit Center. We both agree this was one of the best food truck experiences we've had. We shared a pork sandwich and the meat dumplings. For beverages I had the kvass, a fermented drink made from bread, and my son had a pear soda. We would definitely seek out this truck again. read more

I got a bit adventurous and ordered the beef tongue sandwich for lunch and it was really good! I've had beef tongue in Japan and at Japanese yakitori restaurants in the Bay Area, so the Eastern European style was something new for me. The beef tongue was moist, tender, and flavored just right with the tomatoes, onions, balsamic reduction, arugula, garlic and sriracha aioli. The bread was nice and soft and was perfect with the beef tongue. The sides of potatoes and Russian slaw were a good balance of because they were flavorful but not heavy. The piece of Mishka chocolate they give with the tasty almond and waffle filling was quite a nice touch. I will definitely go back to this food truck! read more

This place makes me happy. When I first moved to the Bay Area I was disappointed to find almost no affordable/casual slavic food joints. Then one druken evening I came up-on this place and rejoiced! The Solyanka is the ideal hangover cure and Siberian Pelmeni are bomb.com. The only reason I don't give them 5 stars is because they don't seem to come to my side of the bridge that often. Y'all would do great in Berkeley ... read more

Amazing!!!! Reminds me of similar food back home in Lithuania. Chicken stroganoff was delicious, although I wish they had beef one. Two sides of cabbage was good although didn't even need it, was good without it but you get to choose 2. Good sized portion, could have been two meals but couldn't stop eating. Candy addition for dessert was a nice touch! Would definitely go back if I see this good truck again. read more

As someone who grew up in Russia, and who spent many summers in Ukraine, I am very particular about what borsch should taste like. The Borschmobile does it beautifully.

Nice assortment of Russian sodas is a cute touch, love it. read more
