Best Quesabirria and Fresh Flavors!
I’ll be back! This spot serves food with fresh homemade tortillas, fresh salsa, limes, cilantro, and onion. The quesabirria is the best I’ve had by far in the bay. The cucumber pineapple agua Fresca was a delight. Don’t skip this spot!

Best Food in the Bay Area!
My experience at this restaurant was exceptional. I found the food to be the best in the Bay Area. If there were more than 5 stars available, I would have given them 10 stars. The service was rated a 5 out of 5, and the atmosphere also received a 5 out of 5. The noise level was noted as very quiet.

Excellent Service and Delicious Omelette
I stopped by this place on a Saturday afternoon and had a really enjoyable experience. The streetside patio was a highlight – it was calm yet lively, creating the perfect atmosphere for a relaxed meal. The staff were all incredibly friendly and attentive. I was particularly impressed that the manager or owner was personally checking in with every table, which is a rare and appreciated touch. The customer service overall was solid. For my meal, I chose the spinach omelette, which was a great option for a meat-free choice. The portion was generous, and the warm tortillas served on the side were some of the best I've ever had, clearly freshly made. The restaurant is conveniently tucked away on a quiet, safe street with nearby bike parking, which was perfect for my arrival. Considering the quality of the food and the excellent service, the prices were very reasonable. Overall, I experienced great food, a good energy, and staff who genuinely care about their work. It's definitely worth a visit.

Authentic Gem with Traditional Flavors
This restaurant is a true gem in SF, where old traditions are still alive. I visited back on 10/11 to try their menudo, and it was one of the best! They offer great and traditional menudo and pozole on weekends. The food quality is exceptional, and the experience was highly positive. 👌 👍 😍

Cozy Brunch with Great Burritos & Chilaquiles
My experience at this restaurant was for a Sunday brunch, and it was quite enjoyable. I was impressed with the excellent breakfast burritos and chilaquiles. The cozy outdoor seating was a highlight, with plenty of tables available. While the omelets were decent, they were a bit over-fried. The pricing is excellent, with most dishes under $12. It's important to note that this is a cash-only establishment. The service was rated a 5, and the atmosphere also received a 5. Parking was easy with plenty of street spots available for Sunday brunch, though it might be less so on weekdays. The noise level was quiet, making conversation easy. Vegetarian offerings were clearly labeled and highly recommended. Wheelchair accessibility for indoor seating is good, but outdoor seating might be challenging due to narrow passages.

Amazing Food, Humble Decor
Don’t let its humble decor fool you; the food was amazing. We tried the quesabirria on a weekend, the breaded chicken torta, and chicken soup. The quesabirria was so well cooked, with tender and flavorful meat and a crispy shell. The soup was clearly made with care. Prices are reasonable and portions are super generous. It seems like this place has been around for a while, and I hope folks continue to support them for their delicious offerings.

Solid Machaca and Loaded Tostadas!
I was on the hunt for Machaca in the city, and this place is solid! The Machaca had good flavor with nice crispy bits, though I expected slightly more eggs. The portion size was impressive. The tortillas seemed handmade, super thick, and held together well. The salsa they brought out for the table had a nice kick, and I used it by the spoonful. The Tostadas were loaded up with veggies, sour cream, and cheese. The Chile reillenos were solid as well, with a good portion; she brought home half of it. I'm excited to head back!

Generous Portions and Lovely Server!
My experience at this restaurant was great! The food was delicious, and the portions were so large they could almost feed two people. The waitress was incredibly nice, described as 'lindisima' (lovely).

Absolutely Breathtaking Food and Service!
I am currently sitting in this restaurant and am completely awestruck. The food is breathtaking; I'm from San Antonio, Texas, and grew up around this style of food, but this place is hands down the best I have tasted. Every bite feels like a blessing from the staff. They are very kind and welcoming. My wife and I arrived early when they were nearly setting up, but they still welcomed us in. The service was very fast but not rushed, maintaining excellent quality. The overall quality of service and food is very good. I am confident they will be around for a very long time due to the quality all the way around. If you haven't visited, you should. And if you have, you need to come again.
