SFist reports the tragic news that neighborhood icon Virginia Ramos, the Tamale Lady, is no longer allowed to sell her delicious tamales at Zeitgeist due to city codes and regulations and her lack of a permit. This is a serious bummer. Read on for more details from the Tamale Lady herself.

According to her Twitter, Tamale Lady is planning to have her 60th birthday celebration at the Eagle Tavern instead this year. If you have any ideas on how she can sell her tamales in the city legally, reach out to her there, or party with her at the Eagle on the 21st.

As much as I admire Portuguese soccer teams, I can’t recall if I’ve ever actually sampled any of the cuisine from the colorful coastal nation. Apparently, I’m not alone in this, which is something that Andrea de Francisco wants to change by bringing Cafe St. Jorge to the Mission:

Named after my favorite Açorean Island and birthplace of the majority of my family, Cafe St. Jorge is a Portuguese-inspired cafe and bakery located in San Francisco providing organic locally-sourced fare, delicious freshly baked breads and pastries, and exceptional coffee that is real and unpretentious in a place where people can gather, relax, and enjoy some wonderful and friendly service.

There’s some neat rewards on the Kickstarter as well, like free Stumptown coffee for a year! Check it all out here.

It’s called Sangre del Toro, and it’s at West of Pecos. It’s what we were drinking that time we saw a million people we knew walk by out front.

I’m actually in Brooklyn right now, and last night I had a drink called the Beergarita at this place Daddy’s. They float some alright frozen margarita on top of a pint of some alright beer. And it’s really good! As I’m sure you can easily imagine. So imagine how good it must be to have some really excellent frozen margarita swirled into some really excellent sangria! It’s really excellent. Plus, the people watching at this place is great, obviously. Can’t wait to get back!

Nuevo from Budweiser: a slightly spicier variation on its popular line of collabs with Clamato! It’s great straight out of the can, or over ice in a mason jar! Tastes like Taco Bell hot sauce — in a good way!

And the main thing is, it goes REAL good with a veggie sandwich from Pal’s Take Away, and this is the last week you’ll be able to find both the Chelada and Pal’s inside Tony’s Market on 24th and Hampshire (because Pal’s is moving). Lunchtime!

But I’ll also miss getting sandwiches at Tony’s. Anyway, enjoy it while you still can!

Yum!
