Completely impressed with the Mexican food at Yossie's Cantina in SoMa. This bar-with-a-restaurant-attached has an impressive menu, breakfast all day (!?), and the best chile colorado I've tasted in a long time. A hidden gem. Will return.
¡Bienvenidos a Yossie’s Cantina! A family owned and operated Mexican Cantina Sports Bar in the SOMA district of San Francisco since 2024; Come watch all your favorite sports games during the year while enjoying some of your favorite authentic Mexican dishes from Jalisco, Mexico, right from our kitchen!

[from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calque ]
It took me a long time, but I finally realized that everyday things I wouldn't take photos of but liked could disappear (after an earthquake remade places in my home town).
So I started trying to take photos of things when it occured to me.
I caught a phone booth in SF Chinatown between when they'd removed the phones, but before booths were removed. #SanFrancisco #PayPhone
