Taqueria La Cabaña
2332 Mission StGood burritos; has many vegetable options including a spinach and nopales (many vegetarian or even vegan)
great Italian/California cuisine; bar tender makes amazing drinks. Only reason it's not at the top of my list is that it is occasionally kid unfriendly (although it does have a good kids menu)
