Sugary Cocktails and Impatient Service
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing, primarily due to the cocktails, which all tasted like pure sugar. The waiters were also impatient and did not make us feel welcomed. It's possible our late arrival contributed to this, but the overall service was not great.

Terrible Service, Left Immediately
My experience at this restaurant was one of the worst table service I've encountered in San Francisco. Our waiter was extremely rude and entitled, which led us to decide to just leave.

Great Happy Hour and Outdoor Seating
My experience at this friendly neighborhood spot was great, especially during their happy hour. They offer outdoor seating which is a plus for dog owners. The decor was nice, and the service was friendly, although a bit sluggish. Overall, it's a good place for a casual outing.

Moody Charm & Memorable Mezcal Flights
My experience at this restaurant was defined by its warm, moody charm, featuring dark wood, amber lighting, and dim corners that created an instantly inviting atmosphere. The impressive tall back bar added a touch of drama. The food was decent, and the service was friendly and upbeat. The true highlight, however, was the mezcal and tequila flights. They were fun, well-curated, and made a casual evening memorable, especially the one with salt made from dried worm, which was surprisingly tasty and a great conversation starter. It's a solid spot for drinks with a bit of theatre and a welcoming atmosphere.

Awesome Cocktails and Great Vibes!
My experience at Mezalito was absolutely awesome! We loved the cocktails; they were creative, perfectly balanced, and full of flavor. The guacamole was fresh and delicious, truly a highlight. The service was fast, friendly, and efficient, enhancing the overall experience. A significant plus is their late operating hours, which is perfect for a relaxed late-night bite or drink. The atmosphere and vibes were great, and we will definitely be returning!

Great Drinks, Dalsa, and Apps!
My experience at this restaurant was quite positive. They serve good drinks and have a fantastic selection of dalsa, ranging from tasty to incredibly spicy (🔥). The appetizers were also a highlight. I'd recommend asking for the fish grilled not fried. The atmosphere was rated a 5, though the noise level was loud, it was still possible to hold a conversation. Service and food both received a perfect 5.

Amazing Burger and Margarita!
My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! I had a great burger and the margaritas were exceptional. I was so impressed with how good the margarita was that I told many friends about it. The food was a perfect 5/5, and the atmosphere was also rated a 5/5. The service was excellent, receiving a 5/5 rating as well, and there was no wait time.
