24th street

24th Street is a predominately Latino/Hispanic neighborhood (working class). There are also a lot of people in their early-20s (a large majority could be considered hipsters).

There is a gang that runs along this street. They are a rival of the 16th Street gang. There is violence in this area a bit more frequently than in other parts of the city.

Taquerias abound! Dive bars aplenty! Cheap produce!

For a good burrito, check out San Francisco Taqueria, as they grill the burritos instead of steaming them. Taqueria Vallarta is a good alternative to the popular El Farolito when those late-night lines aren't doing you any justice after drinking the cheap beers at Pop's or Dirty Thieves.

Other notable businesses that don't fall into the above categories: Philz Coffee (one cup at a time), the Jelly Donut (get a start on your day - the cheap way), and La Victoria (fresh baked goods, yummy tamales, great espresso). Closer to Potrero, there is Sugarlump and L's Caffe, and St. Francis Fountain.

The 48 runs up 24th Street.

There is a BART station at 24th and Mission.
