Marcel Molina: The Yassa (marinated onions in a lemon garlic mustard sauce) with tilapia and couscous is literally one of my favorite things to eat in San Francisco. Get a hibiscus margarita to go with it.
Paul: Get the seafood coco with talapia, sooo good
Ben Mann: When picking meat and carbs, go for tilapia and couscous. Yum!

Richard Fregosa: The Colombian Cheesesteak is awesome but my favorite is the Pulled Pork Sandwich, which is their incredible take off of the Vietnamese Bahn Mi sandwich. A must have and order extra of the sauce

J John: This is without reservations the best Tom Ka Gai in the city. Authentic fresh ingredients (finally a Thai place that uses straw mushrooms!), great flavors and A+++ service
Tony Phu: Pad Thai here is crack.
Kari Cansler: Order the tofu satay and any red curries. Order too much food. Eat it all. And remember that this is better than any other thai in the neighborhood.
Greg Price: Chipotle pupusas are the best. Also delicious: loroco, pork, beans. May be the best pupusas in the Mission.
Matthew Joseph: I highly recommend "pupusas con loroco y queso" (pupusas with loroco flower and cheese). Don't be afraid; loroco "flower" is just a kind of green veggie--they pick the blossoms before they bloom.
AskMen: The Salvadorean papusas at the bare bones 16th Street location are the best in the Mission. A papusa is a thick corn tortilla stuffed with pork, cheese or beans, sounds great to us.
