Mission street from Cesar Chavez St to Murray Street often goes unnoticed as part of Bernal Heights. The area may be mistaken for part of The Mission or Excelsior. It is full of restaurants, bars, and an assortment of shops.
Roccapulco is a salsa club and restaurant that can't be missed walking up Mission Street because the outside is decorated with brightly painted colors and drums. They offer salsa lessons as well .
El Rio is a bar that neighbors Roccapulo. The bar has Salsa Sundays. They have a large patio and two large indoor rooms. They have art shows, bbqs, djs, bands, and sometimes show films. They welcome outside food as long as you clean up your mess. A tip from their website: "come early; and/or dump your vehicle, support public transportation, ride your bike, your skateboard, use your feet, rollerblades, hop and skip your way over, whatever , just come. oh and bring your mom, cause we love moms!!!"
Another neighbor, Blue Plate features a large patio and dishes made with in-season local produce and meat. Their outside furniture is created from found objects and they aim to have a casual, affordable, and neighborhood friendly vibe.
Further up the block is CRUZ skate shop. The shop caters to roller derby and skateboarding. They sponsor a skate team and many roller derby leagues.
The block is filled with banks, places to eat, barber shops, liquor stores, a Safeway, and various bars. A great place to take a stroll any time of the day.
