What's in the neighborhood around 2169 Mission?
Markets
Mi Ranchito
Mi Ranchito Produce & Carnecería is located directly below Noisebridge, or, rather, Noisebridge is located directly above it. It is open from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. 7 days a week. As its name implies, in addition to a reasonable selection of produce and albarrotes, there is a butcher counter in the back. For a cheap snack you can get pan dulce, 3 for a buck - Mexican pastries, cookies, rolls and småkaker. They also, among their produce and Hispanic groceries, have a decent supply of typical snack/junk food, as well as an impressive selection of Latin American soda pop, including the world's best apple soda, Pepsi's entry into the market, Manzanita Sol, and now Toronja ("Grapefruit") Sol, a competitor to another soft drink popular in Mexico, Squirt.
