Señor Sisig (SF Mission)

Señor Sisig's Mission District location on Valencia Street stands as the original brick-and-mortar restaurant that transformed the beloved food truck into a permanent San Francisco institution. Opened in 2019 at 990 Valencia Street, this was founders Evan Kidera and Gil Payumo's first restaurant after nearly a decade of food truck success. The Mission location carries exceptional ratings with 740 reviews at 4.

5 stars, demonstrating consistent quality and strong community support. This restaurant pioneered Señor Sisig's evolution from mobile food service to full-service dining, carefully translating the food truck experience into a permanent space while retaining the energetic vibe and accessibility that made the trucks popular. The Valencia Street location features the full Señor Sisig menu including their signature Tosilog Burrito with Filipino sweet pork tocino, adobo garlic rice, fried egg, and fresh tomatoes served with peppered vinegar.

Their sisig burritos and tacos showcase the classic Pampangan dish in Mexican-American formats that have become their trademark. The restaurant offers beer on tap, optional ube (purple yam) tortillas, and the ability to customize spice levels from mild to spicy. Located in the heart of the Mission's vibrant dining corridor, Señor Sisig became an anchor for Filipino representation in San Francisco's food scene.

The restaurant's success during the pandemic-when their food truck fleet had to shut down-proved the strength of their brick-and-mortar concept and paved the way for subsequent locations. For San Francisco's Filipino community and the broader Mission District dining scene, this location represents Filipino-Mexican fusion done right.
