About this experience
The Mission has one of the most varied food streets in San Francisco, and almost none of it is on a tasting menu. We walk the murals on Balmy Alley, duck into a tortilleria still pressing masa by hand, and end somewhere with a counter and a line out the door.
Six tastings across the walk, paced so nobody's full by stop three. Vegetarian swaps available at every stop with notice ahead of time.
Highlights
- Six tastings from family-run kitchens and bakeries
- A stop inside Balmy Alley's mural corridor
- Guides who grew up in the neighborhood
- Vegetarian options available with notice
