Boogaloo's

MISSION DISTRICT. If you're looking for a brunch with chafing dishes, a string quartet, and starched linens, you won't find it here. But, if you want classic Mission character, complete with tattooed servers and diner atmosphere, Boogaloo's proves ideal. Weekend lines are standard, but you'll be served coffee while you wait, and once seated, you'll be hard-pressed to choose among scrambles, home fries, soy beef hash, huevos rancheros, eggs benedict, and more. Mimosas and plantain cake are also much-requested. People-watching opportunities are sublime, and overheard conversations are priceless.
