Funfeasts is about enjoying and exploring life - through food. It's an attempt to chronicle my feasts of fun and the many tasty bites experienced along the way.

Mission Pie, El Farolito and La Palma Mexica-tessen in the Mission, SF

Pork tacos at El Farolito - spicy but oh so tasty!


A recent walking tour of the Mission in SF yielded some good food tips.  Below is a long list of the places we stopped at and yes...we were very full at the end of the tour!

Starting point was Mission Pie.  They are all about sustainability, youth advocacy and oh...great pie.  Check out all the dough...

That's a lot of dough, but you should have seen all the butter!

Next up at Humphry Slocombe, ice cream before lunch.  It's like a progressive dinner - but in reverse order.

They served a mean roasted chicken sandwich with peaches and purslane.  (note:  purslane grows wild around the area and is sometimes considered a nuisance.)

Great for takeout: tamales and masa.  We didn't eat here but I secretly was hoping since the food looked fab!  We did eat at El Farolito which has excellent tacos (pictured at the top of this post) and 9 locations in the Bay Area.

The person who put all this together...Lisa Rogovin (epicurean concierge).  Love the title!

The cooking class after the walking tour.  Loved these small bites of masa (used for tamales) and avocado filling.
