Street Food

Roli Roti Best pork sandwich ever. Chicken is underseasoned. I like the duck when it's available (although it's also a bit underseasoned. The roasted pork is continuously marinated in rendered fat and is obviously delicious.
Let's Be Frank On weekends and holidays at Crissy Field. A Fanny Singer recommendation.
