$5 Wine and Ahi Tuna Tacos = Amazing
Luella on Hyde in Russian Hill has always been a favorite San Francisco restaurant for a posh time. Through March 31, they are celebrating their fifth year as a San Francisco restaurant and are serving glasses of wine for only $5. But don't just go to this San Francisco restaurant for the cheap, though great, wine. Check out the famous Coco-Cola braised shoulder, which will change your life. My favorite appetizer is the Ahi Tuna Tacos, just for the record. This San Francisco restaurant is a bit on the pricier side, but totally worth it for a great night. It's glamorous, positioned in a vintage-y spot, and has great service. What more can you ask for?

The Perfect Lunch: Pizza and Cake.
I found the San Francisco restaurant I want to move into: Arizmendi bakery on 9th between Irving and Judah. I went to this teeny San Francisco restaurant for lunch, where pizza was only $2.25 a slice and it had spinach, feta, lemon and thyme oil. It was fresher than any pizza I have order before, tons of toppings and crispy/chewy pizza crust. Perfection. Then I satiated my chocolate craving with chocolate cake with salted caramel and frosting and bought some pecan rolls to take back to work. Such an amazing San Francisco restaurant. However, I probably shouldn't eat anything for next two days, lol.

Comfort Food for the Stormy Weather
When looking for a San Francisco restaurant, it's also financially prudent to look for general deals in San Francisco, which is why I always look on coupon sites, like SocialBuy.com. I recently found a voucher on SocialBuy.com to my favorite San Francisco Italian restaurant in North Beach, Joey and Eddie's, which has an all-night Happy Hour. It's on Stockton street, has great service, is perfect for large groups, and serves gigantic family-style portions of comfort food, Italian-style. With most San Francisco restaurant locations, spaghetti and meatballs can be hit or miss, but at this San Francisco restaurant, this dish is always delectable. And just now, I purchased a voucher off SocialBuy for $21 for $45 worth of scrumptiousness at Joey & Eddie's - go me!

La Copa de Oro In Nob Hill
I was looking for a San Francisco restaurant/cafe in Nob Hill and I discovered Cafe La Taza, where you get a smooth cup of coffee for less that 3 bucks. What? Coffee in the city that doesn't taste like tar for less that $3. I couldn't even believe my eyes and then I could even believe my taste buds when I took a sip. In addition, the decor of this place looks like a Elle editor designed it - super cute and put together. And at this San Francisco restaurant, they serve breakfast all day, which is great when your Saturday morning starts at 2 pm. Cafe La Taza's Huevo Ranchero's are delish - so def check those out when you go. And if you hear of another San Francisco restaurant that serves delicious and cheap coffee, let me know!

Red Door Cafe for the Perfect Brunch
So I'm one of those freaks that even after a very, very long Friday night loves to jump out of bed and get an amazing brunch a cute new San Francisco restaurant. Well, I no longer have to search for this perfect brunch at a San Francisco restaurant - I found it at Red Door Cafe in Pacific Heights. Dishes are under $10, the decor is 50s-ish, the music is adorable oldies, and the food is super-gourmet. Like I had the French Toast Josephine, with bananas - literally the best French Toast I have ever had. Seriously. I've already been to this San Francisco restaurant twice in the last week. I want to live there. When can I move in?

The Perfect Burger and Milkshake = Heaven
I promised my boyfriend I would take him to a more manly San Francisco restaurant after dragging him to pretty cafe after pretty cafe. So in the search for the best San Francisco restaurant for burger lovers, I happened to find a deal on SocialBuy.com for The Burger Bar, which is in Union Square. For $10, you can buy a $20 voucher. I order the Buffalo burger and was surprised by how lean the meat is but also how juicy and amazing. But the best part of this San Francisco restaurant was the Nutella milkshake. Ice cream and Nutella? You really can't get any better than that. I almost died. And my boyfriend was impressed by the number of beers they had - he especially enjoyed Speakeasy Burger Bar Blonde Ale, which is their signature beer. It was definitely glamorous enough for me and satiating enough for the boyfriend. Definitely a winning San Francisco restaurant. Next time you want a great burger place in San Francisco, hit up Burger Bar.

The Cure to Rough Saturday Mornings
I've always believed that the best cure to a hangover is a really, really good burrito. Which is why I am so stoked that I found the best San Francisco restaurant for hangover burritos: El Farolito in the Mission. I had the carne asada burrito and it was PACKED with perfectly cooked and tender meat. I'm drooling just typing about it. My friend had the super-quesadilla and I think he died of happiness. It has fresh salsa and a ton of cheese and this guacamole that must have had crack in it, it was so tasty. Plus, it's super cheap - the extra taco I bought was under $2. That's so good for a famous San Francisco restaurant. I highly recommend this San Francisco restaurant if you're looking for legit Mexican food.
