The vibe was allegedly "Japanese American", although the food seemed to have little Japanese influence and mostly American diner.
What it really had going for it was that the San Francisco Giants were playing a baseball game against the St. Louis Cardinals, and - as is the case in every diner and even some of the supposedly classier places here - the game was on the TV. The fact that the Giants won, and thereby made it through to the World Series was good enough. The added bonus was that Nombe is on Mission street, which turned out to be celebration central for every local Latino and his banner-waving, whoopin' and hollerin', car-horn honkin' pals.
I hope over the coming weeks to be doing more celebrating of the Giants' progress through the World Series, although I expect to do little of that from a table at Nombe.
