What kinda of food do they have at FI? FI serves about a half a dozen different deep-fried treats, such as coconut shrimp (I had some last night and they were delicious), sweet potato fries (mmm), fish and chips, etc. On the next block of Lincoln from FI heading west (towards Webster) is El Caballo Wraps 1108 Lincoln Ave (510) 521-6257 I just went there on Sunday for lunch. They serve Mexican food in the healthier California style (like with wheat and spinach tortillas) for those that like that kind of Mexican food. Being from San Diego I prefer border style burritos without beans and rice vs. San Francisco Mission style burritos with everything but the kitchen sink, but the food was fresh and tasty and the people there are very friendly. They even gave me a free sample of their tortilla soup. They close early though (at 6 or 7). There is a Filipino restaurant at 1216 Licoln but I have not tried it. There's a Domino's pizza across the street from FI. About 1/3 of a mile away at 1410 Encinal is Little Joe's Express, a Chinese restaurant that I have not tried. Webster Street is about 2/3 of a mile away and has numerous food options: several fast food chains, many Asian and Mexican restaurants, and Albert's and Tillie's that I mentioned above.
