Burgers are kind of pricey, but it's SF and they're amazing. Plus the location is pretty close to Union Square. My favorite is the Mushroom Swiss burger.

Delicious tacos. Two of these should fill most people up pretty well. Be sure to get them "Nick's Way" (i.e. crispy with Jack cheese and guacamole).

I recommend the Combination Rice Plate, the Five Spice Chicken rice plate, or the Pork Belly sandwich. Edit: According to Yelp, food safety has been a concern here, so take that into consideration if you go.

This one's in a nicer neighborhood, but the Larkin one (while in a seedier place) is closer to Union Square. It's an authentic Thai restaurant that changed my life. My favorite dishes are Kor Moo Yang (grilled pork neck with great flavors and just the right amount of fat and chewiness) and the Tom Yum Soup with shrimp.

Famous burger chain with fresh ingredients. A perfect meal: vanilla shake, animal-style fries, cheeseburger (or double-double) animal-style with extra grilled onions. Order the burger "protein-style" if you want it wrapped in crisp lettuce instead of buns. Check online for more "secret menu" options.

A speakeasy-style bar based off an actual speakeasy from the 1920s, when alcohol was prohibited. Reserve online ahead of time and give them the password when you go. Or you can try going in person and asking them to text you if there's a cancellation.
