You know, even though I was never a regular here, and that my last visit came long before COVID ever became a thing, I was actually pretty happy to see SF Wraps still alive and kicking. Not only that, though, but that they still maintain their late night hours as well. Because, if I'm being honest, most of the times I came here were driven more by the time of night than for the food itself. Not to say that the food here was bad, though there does seem to be a correlation between level of sobriety and how good food tastes...In the years since my first time trying SF Wraps, not much seems to have changed, for better worse. There are still a handful of tables, the decor is about the same, and the menu looks all too familiar. While their range of offerings isn't super wide (wraps, plates, bowls, soups, salads, and sides, along with some cookies and baklava), it covers all of the bases. What's more, what they do have still sounds pretty enticing and they have a decent variety of vegan options, if that's what you're looking for. Unfortunately, though, the food doesn't seem to have changed much either.-- GYRO WRAP - Beef & Lamb Gyro Meat, Cucumber, Tomato, Spring Mix, Red Onion, and Tzatziki...$14.75(https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sf-wraps-san-francisco?select=FrlM1C4xZViMG7grcnECJg)In terms of taste, this wasn't bad. The gyro was fairly juicy and the veggies were all very fresh. The lavash, however, is not good. I don't know if it's the wrap itself or how they toast it, but it's so dry and brittle that it completely fell apart after just two bites (not to mention the need to sip my water often).-- SHAWARMA WRAP - Beef & Lamb Gyro Meat, Cucumber, Tomato, Spring Mix, Onion and Hummus...$14.75(https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sf-wraps-san-francisco?select=QgXCYzBS3NO0R3rVBKxL6w)It's essentially identical to the Gyro Wrap, but with hummus instead of tzatziki. The taste is comparable to each other as well, but this one feels a little heavier thanks to the hummus. Plus points for it also helping to offset the lavash's dryness, though it's still brittle and falls apart.Beyond the food, the one thing that I really like about SF Wraps is how utterly convenient they are. On top of how late they stay open, parking is both easy and plentiful (at night), their handful of tables are almost never taken, and the food comes out fairly quick. It's just a shame that they're not nearly as cheap as they used to be (the wraps used to be $9-$10). Otherwise, if I worked in the area or was looking for a late night bite after hitting the bars nearby, SF Wraps isn't a bad option to have around. If/when I do return, though, I'll probably go with one of their plates or bowls instead, so as not to bother with their lavash again.
