Flavorful Burrito, Confusing Drink Charge
I had a late dinner here and generally liked it. The shredded chicken super burrito was a good size and flavorful. It was served with chips (a bit stale) and pico de gallo (decent). The hot sauce is amazingly flavorful, with a sweetness to balance out the habanero fire. I was told I could get a free beverage as the designated driver, and selected an agua fresca jamaica. But I was still charged $6 for it, and there was more ice than drink, even if the flavor was good. My friends enjoyed their margaritas. I didn't have time to ask about removing my drink from the bill. The interior is nicely decorated with bar seating, different size tables, and cozy couches. The staff are also friendly and helpful. I might come back because the salsa and burrito were quite good, even if I'm confused about my drink charge.

Hidden Gem in the Neighborhood
My experience at this restaurant was that it's a great local spot, very much in the neighborhood where it's situated. You'd only know it if someone showed you. The food, service, and atmosphere all received a 4 out of 5 rating.

A Taste of Mexico for Outsiders
If you're visiting San Francisco from outside California or the American Southwest, and perhaps planning to attend a drag show at Oasis afterward, this restaurant might truly open you up to a style and quality of Mexican food that could blow your mind. For me, coming from Phoenix, it was pretty standard fare. I'd rate it 5/5 for gay Midwesterners, 3/5 if you have easy access to more local Mexican food, and 4/5 if this is your neighborhood Mexican restaurant.

A Funky Gem with Worldly Decor
I stumbled upon this restaurant by accident and had a truly lovely and funky experience. The mezcal margarita was great, and the nopales fries were a delicious surprise. The decor transported me to another world, making it feel like a true destination. Well done!

Eric's Amazing Margaritas and Service!
What a great spot! Eric is awesome and highly recommended the margaritas on tap. The recipe is super dialed in, and Eric has a knack for detail, like the black salted rim of my margarita. 🩷🌹🕊️👑

Delicious Food, Great Vibe!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! We loved the vibe and the music, and the service was excellent. The food was incredibly delicious, far from typical bar fare. We especially enjoyed the churro dessert, which is a favorite. The overall atmosphere and food quality made for a memorable visit.

Birthday Dinner Ruined by Rude Server
I'm giving this place 3 stars because the food was great. However, my birthday dinner experience was marred by the most unpleasant server. When I inquired if they offer anything special for birthdays, I was met with an ugly look and an awful tone, with the server stating, “For birthdays? No. ” This was completely unnecessary and rude! I'm sharing this to warn anyone considering this restaurant for a birthday celebration – don't do it! 👎🏼
