what's the best cheap eats in SF

[ceriii]

I'm looking for some ideas---I've done the Ferry Bldg last time -slanted door and the Oyster house, as well as the wine company----I'd like to go to some new places this time that are small and affordable----where's the best taco's, tapas, Italian, French etc. Are there some good small places that are BYOB? Where'e the best breakfast??
What are your favorite wine bars???? Where are the best bakery shops??

The number 5 at Cordon Bleu.
It's chicken(either thigh and drumstick or breast and wing), imperial roll, grilled steak, over a meat sauce (which is delicious)covered rice mound. All for about 8 dollars.
I've been eating it for over 20 years.

Photos on yelp look delicious. Looking forward to trying this one day, never heard of it before. Usually apprehensive of hole in the wall Asian due to shellfish allergy (no shellfish on the menu)!

BYOB is illegal in California unless the place has a liquor license, and discussion of which places ignore the law could get the restaurants in big trouble. Here's a topic on places with cheap or no corkage:
