[UPDATE: Oh man, Andy Wright and Marie McIntosh from the The Bay Citizen get into it, I mean, they really get into it. C'mon! El Gappo ofrece simple tacos, chicas!]
OMG, it’s back in the Financh today, Wednesday, August 17th, 2011, but for a limited time only.
Check it:
“Lunch at 615 Sacramento St., between Montgomery & Kearny! Stay tuned for our doors up tweet!”
I figure they’ll open around elevenish this AM. Limit four tacos per person.
But this deal is just too sweet, just too much of a bargain, so get there before they run out of tacos. (I mean, don’t show up at 1:00 PM expecting them to still be open is what I’m saying. Maybe, but who knows.)
This is a 100% certified great deal. All hail our corporate overlords at The Gap, Inc.
All the deets:
Well, here it is, straight outta West Pico Blvd, it’s the Pico de Gap Taco Truck!
Check out the sked on Twitter to find it around town to score two tacos plus a bottle of Mexican Coke or a similar such fruity drink for just $1.69, which is redolent of 1969, the year the first Gap store opened up on Ocean Boulevard.
See? This lovely Gap Gal is holding all four available tacos (designed just for S.F. by famous Top Chef “cheftestant” Ryan Scott) plus a $20 off coupon for “1969″ jeans:

Your choices:

- 1. Chorizo and Crispy Potato Taco with goat cheese, watercress, and charred lime salsa verde
- 2. Mole-braised brisket Taco with pumpkin seeds, red onion marmalade, queso fresco, and Mexican chocolate vinaigrette
- 3. Raw Yellow Corn “Ceviche” Taco with dirty green rice, poblano aioli, guacamole, and charred tomato salsa
- 4. California taco with pasilla-braised chicken, Frank’s Red Hot Sauce, pepper jack cheese, and Cool Ranch Doritos
And here’s a close-up, 4,2,1,3 I think:

They’re all delish.
Here’s what it looked like in the Hayes Valley a few days back:

Hurray!

Today, Monday, August 15, 2011, they’ll be in the corrupt Twitterloin on Market betwixt 7th and 8th:
“Pico de Gap SF will be between 7th & 8th Streets on Market tomorrow in #SF for lunch! Get tacos y denim starting at 11AM while supplies last”
Hurray!

Believe this is the Gap’s Old Navy Flagship Store on Market and Fourth, ably captured by starry-eyed ingénue An Invincible Summer.
Keep up the good work, AIS!

One or both of these people work security at the Old Navy Flagship store at Fourth and Market.
Seems as if the O.N. security staff was keeping as busy as the overworked clerks, what with all the descriptions of perps being bandied about on walkie talkies
Oh well, it’s a living.
As seen from Fourth Street:

Via BIKE NOPA word comes of San Francisco’s first continuously green bike lane, down there on Market inbound. It seems that Dan Nguyen-Tan thought it was so good this morning, he told two friends about it, and they told two friends, and so on and so on.
So tout de suite, tout le monde learned about it.
Will this greenery hold up better than the fast-fading beige of Market a little bit down the road?
Via Jamison, from today:

You know that beige color (it’s not paint but I don’t know what it is, actually) that was just put down on Market Street? Well, it’s coming off fast.
From this…

…to this:

Sic transit gloria Market

See? At this rate, this part of Market Street won’t stay beige very long.
Still, a lot of those fixed gear bike riders have no other way of stopping, so That’s How It’s Gotta Be.

(Guess which mark (nicely modulated, made using disc brakes) is mine…)
Wouldn’t green be a better color?

This is the scene near Union Square, inbound, right down the street from the latest the latest MUNI bus vs. cyclist collision.
(Dude got scuffed up by an articulated 38 Geary (or whatever – it’s line number had been switched off) but he looked O.K. when they were putting him the ambulance.)
Anyway, here it is:

Click to expand.
Beige? Really? Wasn’t it supposed to be painted green?
(Beige. I think I’ll paint the ceiling beige, after seeing this glorious color up close.)
But, anything for safety’s sake. Hurray!
UPDATE: Turns out, per Bluoz, that this stuff is called “Ride Away/Greenway” or something. It’s from DaVinci Pavement and Design.
And here’s San Francisco Bicycle Coalition Program Director Andy Thornley chirping up to bring it all home:
“It’s actually “fawn” — I brake for Bambi — though others have characterized it as “cafe au lait” or “mochacino” — if it gets people to wake up and pay attention that’s all that matters. It’s another trial for Market Street, joining the forced right turns at 6th & 8th Streets (expect to see 10th Street turns soon) and Art in Storefronts and other good stuff. There’s more to the “Safety Zone” trial, 10 MPH pavement legends and signs, rumble strips, and advance stop lines that will blossom into full-blown bike boxes (with green pavement, you betcha) once the blinking Bike Plan injunction is lifted. These elements (color, rumble strips, 10 MPH marking) will be combined in various ways at the four parts of the 4th & 5th Street intersections (eastbound and westbound), SFMTA and SFCTA folks will be watching and evaluating to see which things are effective at slowing traffic and getting folks to watch out for each other, and then they’ll take the winning combination and implement it at all Market St boarding islands from Castro to the Embarcadero. Get yourself a fresh soy latte and roll on down for a test ride . . .”
So There You Have It.
