Primo Patio Cafe, San Francisco

The small, unassuming facade of this cafe is very deceiving; as you head inside and walk towards the back you'll discover a large, charming back patio that is perfect on sunny days. Forest-dwelling fish decorate the mural on the patio and that is an excellent indicator of the whimsy and fun to be found at Primo Patio Cafe, popular with students, professionals and pretty much everyone else in the city. The cuisine is Caribbean with a dash of Pacific Rim and while the breakfasts are good, it is the lunch that draws. You'll find great jerk chicken, hot and sweet beef, chicken and pork barbecue all brought to you by a friendly wait staff. Specialty drinks include pitchers of sangria, the potent mojito, as well as Buli Buli , a concoction of Cuban beer, lime juice, sugar and ice.
