Yummy Nachos, Slow Start
It was a great place to stop by while thrifting in the Haight. As others have mentioned, the service is a little slow; we waited about 5 minutes for our order to be taken even though we were the only ones there. However, getting our food was fast. We had nachos with beans, and for the portion size, it was a fair price. The food was yummy, and the place wasn't too busy at 3 pm on a Saturday, so we had plenty of areas to sit!

Good Mexican Food, Not the Best
My experience at this restaurant was pretty good, though not as good as their other location. I'm not aware of any better Mexican food in the Haight, so it's a solid choice for that cuisine. The food itself was rated a 4 out of 5, and the service received a perfect 5 out of 5. While it's a good option, it doesn't quite reach the heights of their other establishment.

Terrible Service and Burnt Food
My experience at this restaurant was quite negative. The lady at the counter acted as if everyone was inconveniencing her to place an order. The al pastor was burnt to a crisp in an awful way. I would suggest going elsewhere.

Delicious Birria Tacos & Great Service!
My experience at this restaurant was largely positive, with delicious food and great, fast service. I particularly enjoyed the Birria tacos, which were absolutely delicious. The price was also very good. However, I do struggle with loud environments, and there was a lot of loud music being played from different places, which was a personal preference issue. Overall, the incredible food and service made for a great visit.

Huge Burrito, Slow Service, Wrong Order
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. I had to wait an unusually long 20 minutes for my burrito, even though there were only two other people in the establishment. To make matters worse, my order was incorrect. However, despite these service issues, the burrito itself was huge and tasty. The atmosphere was pleasant, rated a 4 out of 5.

Disgusting Bathroom, Avoid!
Before you come to eat here, GO INTO THE BATHROOM! It’s SOOOOOO DISGUSTING, you couldn’t possibly trust the workers to be sanitary. The bathroom condition made me question the overall sanitary practices of the establishment.

Frustration with Cilantro and Green Onions
My experience at the restaurant was frustrating due to a clear misunderstanding regarding my order. I specifically requested NO cilantro and no green onions, but they were repeatedly added to my order. This was particularly concerning as I have a severe aversion to cilantro, stating, 'I literally would die by cilantro. '

Good Food, Terrible Service
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The food was good, but the service was terrible. The lady at the counter seemed mad for no reason. After placing our order, she gave us our drinks, 3 little boats of chips, and 6 little to go cups of salsa. We had to go upstairs with all of this in our hands because they didn't give us a tray. Overall, the food was good, but the service really sucked.

Terrible Steak and Prawns Experience
My experience at the restaurant was quite negative. I ordered the steak and prawns, but unfortunately, the food was terrible. In my opinion, the steak was rotten and inedible. The overall food rating was a 1, and the service and atmosphere also received low scores of 1 and 2 respectively.
