    • Description:

    • Located alongside the funky surf shops and bikini boutiques of bohemian Mission Beach, the Mission is the neighborhood's central meeting place. The menu features all-day breakfasts, from traditional pancakes to nouvelle egg dishes to burritos and quesadillas. Standouts include tamales and eggs with tomatillo sauce, chicken-apple sausage with eggs and a mound of rosemary potatoes, and cinnamon French toast with blackberry purée. At lunch, the menu expands for sandwiches, salads, and a few Chino-Latino items like ginger-sesame chicken tacos. Seating is casual, comfy, and conducive to lingering (tons of students, writers, and surfers hang out here), if only with a soup-bowl-size latte. Expect waits of half an hour or more on weekends. Other locations: 2801 University Ave., in North Park (tel. 619/220-8992), and 1250 J St., downtown (tel. 619/632-7662); both have similar menus and hours.
