[Explore San Francisco] Fresco Food Tour in Mission Church District, San Francisco

Entering San Francisco has always been a hassle. It only takes about an hour to drive a single trip from the South Bay, and the time required to find a parking space and then walk to the destination, so it is usually a specific trip A trip.

This time I went to San Francisco to visit this general tourist group or tourists who come to San Francisco rarely go, but if you like the history of the city like me, you can't miss The Mission area. It is also recommended to all San Francisco public tourist attractions , Want to see different people in San Francisco.

San Francisco's Mission District, also known as the Latin Quarter, is the oldest area in San Francisco. (So ​​this area is also old and messy)
The Spanish missionaries came here in the 18th century to preach to the Ohlone Aboriginals who lived here. Mission Dolores Church is now the oldest building in San Francisco and the birthplace of San Francisco.

This region became Mexico after independence from Spain in 1821, so the early Mission area was mainly Mexican and other Latino residents.

Because of this background, the most famous Mission District is the murals and Mexican food here. Frescoes are a social movement in Mexico. Painters use painting themes to express their opinions on government and society. Such murals are also spread throughout the Mission area. Mission has two alleys that are the best places to see these Murals:

1) Clarion Alley near Bart Station 16th and Mission
2) Balmy St near Bart Station 24th and Mission

Take a walk to Mission and of course you have to eat good food, Mission District is listed on the Thrillist website as the No. XNUMX gourmet neighborhood in the United States! The Mission's relationship with Mexico is taken for granted. The most famous side here is Mexican food, and Burrito has spread from the United States since then. It's no surprise that Burrito, which has made foodies popular, is located in the El Farolito restaurant in the Mission area. Want to eat the most authentic tacos!

When eating Burrito, remember to keep your stomach for the desserts that follow, because Tartine Bakery, San Francisco's best-known French bakery, is in the Mission area. The four-star, XNUMX-plus bakery on Yelp has a low-key storefront, and you ca n’t even see the name of the bakery, but as long as you go to the long queue outside, you wo n’t miss it.

The team actually moved very fast, ordering meals after almost 20 minutes
But the dining area is small, it is best to take out, you can eat at the nearby Dolores Park

Tartine’s signature Banana Creme Tart – I agree with all the reviews that recommend it. It’s delicious, not too sweet and you can eat slices of bananas.

Hazelnut Tart is just as crispy as the hazelnut.

Dessert Part 1 is not over yet
