Bissap Baobab serves up Senegalese (in West Africa) food in the heart of the Mission district. Most entrees are well under $15 and there even plenty of options under $10. Try the seafood paella, or the chicken Dibis- the latter is a full plate of food including fried plantains, pickled onions, salad, and couscous. Delicious. Their appetizers are great too.
There is also a full bar and their specialty mixed drinks are only $5, which has to be one of the best deals in town! They use fresh ginger, hibiscus and tamarind juice in their cocktails, and you can really taste the difference.

Admittedly, I've never had West African food at any place besides at Baobab. The bulk of my African food experience has been Ethiopian. So, with nothing to compare it to, I proclaim Baobab the BEST West African I've ever eaten! Which means, I like the food here a lot. Maybe, as a matter of course, I'll go eat at another restaurant of the same and get back to you with the added wisdom of deeper experience. But until then, I'll enjoy my fish and chicken and mushy vegetables with the exotic spices in ignorant bliss. Best of all are the tamarind and ginger margaritas and the Highlife they pump on the stereo.

This West African restaurant is a true gem in the eclectic and diverse neighborhood that is San Francisco’s Mission district. The Senegalese fare features lots of okra, as well as uniquely seasoned fish and chicken dishes, couscous and fried plantains. Hot ginger drinks and African beers round out the interesting menu. The atmosphere is lively and convivial, with sometimes-rickety tables snuggled up to the other patrons in the crowded central room. A fun and affordable restaurant you won’t forget.
