The area

Neighbourhood: Mission District
From burritos to bicyclists, the Mission is the foundation for all things hip in the city. Cultural attractions, an independent arts community, sumptuous street murals and a high density of bars and cafes make this neighbourhood a magnet for young people. While terrific inexpensive food is abundant, its top-of-the-line restaurants now compete with the city’s best for fashionable diners. Indulge as the locals do by heading to Mission Dolores Park, buy some ice cream, and savor one of the most diverse neighbourhoods in the country.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

One of my favorite neighborhoods in San Francisco, so much so I that I recently purchased my first home here! Valencia Street, 20th Street and Calle 24 are a must for anyone visiting the city.

Post Covid much more run down. Homeless everywhere. Sad lack of city services for vulnerable population. Excellent taquerias, but not what it once was. Some safety issues. Worst subway stop ever.

Meh experience. Skippable. Went for Urban Putt which was great but not sure I'd go for much else as a family. As a young adult, would be fun going to the bars. Lots of energy.

Walked around the Mission District today for about an hour and a half based on some reviews I read about the great art and authentic Mexican food. Started at the Taqueria El Farolito and ordered the carne asada burritos. The food was very good but shady characters in the immediate area and the smell of urine on the way in to the restaurant really made the experience not worth it for us. We then headed to Valencia street and walked into some unique shops before arriving at the Clarion Alley murals. The murals were cool but there wasn’t much else worth seeing in the area. We then walked up to Mission Dolores Church. It’s architecture was beautiful but unfortunately it was closed and we couldn’t go in. I would not recommend walking around this neighborhood unless burritos and graffiti art are your passion. Disappointing experience overall.

The Mission district was full of cool graffiti art. It fun to roam the alleys and streets to see the different artist expressions from various artists.

We had a fun return trip to the Mission District of San Francisco.
We had a delightful lunch on the patio at Foreign Cinema, which is a really fun restaurant
We took a walk and went to several stores and also looked at the amazing murals.
We went to the mission and also to Delores Park.

If only the Cops in SAN Francisco would stop taking money from These Nasty Drug dealers on the street then this city might be half bad .The mussion area is filled with neighborhood Mexican restaurants of all kinds . Thats what makes this area unique and special to me but the Drug dealers in the mission district gave really gotten out of control here . I would wait for a bus on mission street sometimes and get hasstled by a Dealer at three ends of the block . If this would stop then this area would be good for busness for people with children and elderly ritired people . 50 years ago this kind of thing didnt happen in Sanfrancisco . Lets turn the Clock back again .

Went to see the alley with my sister from Delaware and let me just say how beautiful the murals are. I especially liked the powerful women empowerment mural. We were also the first ones to see a man painting Donald Trump. That one should be interesting once it’s completed. The area looks sketchy but overall it was a great sight to see!!! I plan on doing some research in regards to the murals and learn the history as well. Come with an OPEN mind ❤️

Ad un punto informazioni turistiche mi hanno sconsigliato di visitare Mission perché il quartiere è pericoloso....chi ci è stato che impressione ha avuto? Grazie...

Ci siamo stati solo perché la sfilata del Memorial Day era lì, quindi vi erano agenti di polizia ad ogni angolo e pubblico da ogni dove. Diversamente non saremmo andati, solo uscendo dalla bart ti rendi conto del degrado e della moltitudine di senzatetto che bivaccano ovunque, le case sono piuttosto trascurate e nel complesso non c’è nulla di interessante da vedere.
