Just 1.5 million USD for this “turn-of-the-century fixer-upper in the Alviso waterfront community!”
Like.
What.
The strangest bay area sights are massive empty spaces that could be new housing or a public park but are just parked by corporate developers whose plans changed when the pandemic hit and now no one gets to use the spaces because they can’t be exploited for profit.
On the left is a former tennis club in SOMA district of San Francisco, on the right what remains of the old VallCo mall across the street from Apple’s spaceport headquarters.

This handsome lad is the chorizo burrito from Los Amigos. It’s great to find a place that whips up a tasty chorizo without drowning the whole deal in excess grease.
Another trip to Los Amigos for a tasty chicken burrito. I don’t think we often consider effervescence but this one’s got it.
There’s a particular kind of burrito that leans into chopped onions, cilantro, and extra toasty tortilla and it evokes mid-peninsula c. 2008. This chicken from Tacos The King David is just the thing.
Sabor a Mexico is topping the charts at 4 for 4 with the carnitas burrito. I saw a sign in their window indicating they’re changing owners and I hope the new owners don’t mess with this place because they’re doing their burritos right.
I swung by Latte Express to grab one of my favorites from the old days. Their breakfast burrito is great in that homemade sort of way, fresh ingredients and all. I always get the ham burrito. Times are tough for them in San Francisco so stop on by if you’re in SOMA and in the mood for a good breakfast burrito, Vietnamese sandwiches, and other coffee shop goods. Tip big!
Back to Sabor a Mexico for their pastor. It’s the variant with pineapple notes in it, and you’d think I’d be into it since I’m pro Hawaiian pizza, but this one lacks the salty meats to balance out the sweetness and it’s just not as good as the pastor tacos from El Taurino on the streets of Tepatitlan c. 1998. Nostalgia’s an anchor sometimes, keeping us from sailing bravely into uncharted waters.
