I ordered: Carne asada burrito bowl…read more For how big a portion it was and how filling it made me, it was one of the few times where I didn't feel overly bloated or oily from finishing a burrito/burrito bowl. Fair for its price, it had a lot of meat and veggies. The beans and rice were perfect and they included avocado. It was a simple sit down eatery, but I'd love to go again.

Al pastor is my favorite type of taco so I was hoping to add this to my list of places that have great Al pastor. The only place there was pineapple was the little slices on top of the taco. The seasoning was meh. I would have loved for the meat to have been marinated with the pineapple's. That would've taken the taco to the next level. DRINKS 4/5 I got the ube coconut horchata which was different and delicious. They had a strawberry horchata I was curious about too but this was a good choice. SERVICE 4/5 The staff were cool and I got my food fast AMBIANCE 4/5 The music was fun and went with the decor of the place, very fun and lively. It's a cool place to have tacos and hangout. Definitely a family friendly/trendy environment. All in all I'd come here again for the drinks but not so much for the tacos....although I am curious about how their carnitas taco is.

I also love how quick the service is - I never have to wait more than a minute for my order! The food is also always pipping hot. My regular orders on rotation (I'd give them all 5 stars!): Chicken Momos ($14) - Comes in 8 pieces. The dumplings are large, flavorful, with the perfect skin-to-meat ratio. It is served with Bini's spicy tomato cilantro sauce on top; the sauce is delicious with just a slight/mild kick. Vegetarian Momos ($12) - Comes in 8 pieces. Vegan dumplings filled with tofu, carrots, & cabbage. Also served with the spicy tomato cilantro sauce on top. I love how clean yet tasty this is! Vegetarian Combo ($18) - Comes with 4 vegetarian momos and one veggie side served on top of fragrant basmati rice. For the sides, I love the Baigun Bharta, a tomato-based braised eggplant. It's saucey and pairs extremely well with the rice. The only reason I'd dock off half a star for this combo is the price. You can also mix and match the momos. For a more balanced meal, I request half chicken and half vegetarian ($14). Bini's also has a stand outside the Ferry Building every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. I'd like to give a shoutout to the Bini's servers at the Ferry Building - they're very generous & usually give me 9 pieces of momos whenever I ask for half chicken and half vegetarian (usually 4 chicken & 5 vegetarian).

Awesome food and great service!…read more Some friends catered from Vatos Tacos for a pre-wedding luncheon for some friends in their backyard. The mom and uncle of the owner showed up early to set up and start cooking. They were professional, kind, and very friendly. I was stoked that they cooked everything fresh on site and didn't just have food in warmers. We got to choose among proteins and veggies, and the salsa bar was awesome. Kids and adults alike really enjoyed the churros too! They boxed up all leftovers after the event, so we ate tacos for leftovers and froze a bunch too for later. The only thing one of my friends said was that paying extra for salad wasn't worth it because the salad was just from a bag. Everything was delicious, and I ate too much! I highly recommend Vatos Tacos for your catering needs!

I returned back to the farmer's market the following Wednesday and asked the workers and there was no Kettlepop stand at that market. (I've been going to that farmer's market for 2 years and haven't seen it, so it checks out.) But...so delicious and still relatively low calorie. I can gulp down the $20 large bag in a few days. Yeah it's $20 for a big bag now. Obviously order it with the bag open for some extra kettlecorn goodness.

The kettle corn place is usually closer to Market with the other hot food/lunch stands on Wednesday. On Friday, they're on the other side, closer to Hyde. I got the ginormous largest size for 10 dollars. The next size down is 8, but pretty much half the size. The choice was easy for me. I paid with credit card. I got a newly popped batch. The guy there filled the bag to the brim, and twisty-tied the end- you can hold it by that end (it does hold up well) and close the bag with twisty tie later. Honestly it did take a lot of popcorn eating to get it down to a point where I could close the bag, which is great. They also have caramel corn and some other selection popped within the last day, but I've only seen the kettle corn fresh. This kettle corn is super tasty and so fresh, and definitely great to share and snack on.

The wait can be super long during lunch hour so I recommend coming at either 11am or 1pm. I waited for an hour once when I came at noon. My favorite is the lamb. It's so yummy! It costs a bit more than the rest of the flavors tho. I've also tried spinach and mushroom. Those were very good, too. The chips are very delish as well. I had both the plantain and yucca. I liked the spicy plantain chips a lot. One of the cashier ladies struggle with simple math so that can be a drawback or advantage depending on how much she asks you to pay, lol. Remember it's #PupusasWednesday! So get your pupusas on!

I like to call their platters "homemade meals prepared by a loving grandmother." Trust me, I spent a summer in New Delhi and ate a lot of home cooked meals by my host, and Munch manages to exceed those standards. Every time I come here, I get the Vegetarian Combo for $14. It comes with three different veggie sides - today, there was potato, okra, and chickpeas. (The sides rotate. I've also had eggplant, tomatoes, and zucchini here, though chickpeas seem to be a staple.) I'm not a vegetarian, but if I could eat this every day, I gladly would become one. Tips: - COME HERE FOR LUNCH. DO IT. - Munch India has a twitter account where they post updates - they'll usually post whether they'll be at a particular location, so check the page first (@munchindia) before coming. (I've had sad Fridays where I walked here without checking and no purple truck was in sight )

Mine included: -Rice: 4 stars, I like that it had veggies (green beans, Lima beans, carrot - singular, haha) -Roti: 5 stars -Daal: 4 stars, I think? It was so itty bitty it was hard to tell. Given the size, it would have been great to instead have a little Halwa or rice pudding for a small sweet finish. -Eggplant: 5 stars, my fav of the veggie options with great flavor -Cabbage: 4 stars -Kidney beans: 3 stars Arriving close to opening at 11:30 made for a turn around of only a few minutes.

There are apparently several of these parked around downtown, but my go-to spot is the cart parked right next to the Amazon Go store on California. It's a bit of a walk from my office, but the radiating heat from the cart and aroma of sweet chicken juice makes the trip all the more worth it. I usually get the half chicken with 1/2 brussel sprouts and 1/2 potatoes, because how can you turn down potatoes roasted in chicken fat? This alone is enough to be split into two servings (and/or feed a small family for sure). Such a cool concept and the portions are totally worth it for the price. If are times when you find yourself hungry at lunch hour in FiDi and a $15 tossed-to-order salad just won't cut it, definitely keep this in mind.
