Boogaloos is in the coolest building that dates back to 1927 when it was a posh drugstore. To my untrained eye, the architecture has a Moroccan flair. Massively restored in 2018 after a fire, Boogaloos reopened to much fanfare and long lines that continue. I was up for trying Boogaloos off "Too Good to Go" though after I reserved our bag, I realized many of their menu items like eggs, tofu scramble and pancakes are difficult translated into to-go portions if not eaten right away. So kudos for Boogaloos' ingenuity they boxed up beautiful seasoned potatoes and deliciously sticky-sweet plantains. They also included a half pint of grapes and cantaloupe. We took their potatoes, heated them stovetop and enjoyed with our additions of scrambled eggs, fresh basil and maple/apple sausage. The labor intensive work of brunch, done; we really enjoyed Boogaloos' taters and plantains! We'll return for Boogaloos' brunch in person! read more

No wait on a Wednesday around 1:45pm. I've passed by this spot so many times, surprised I haven't been! And it was surprisingly good. * Polenta and eggs ($17.50) - 4 stars - great crisp to polenta, tasty sauce and beans. * Chorizo Bennie Benedict ($19.50) - 4 stars - nice bennie, crispy hash browns. Total cost for 2 brunch entrees, 2 IPAs, and an Aperol Spritz: $78.45. read more

Great place for brunch. Delicious breakfast food. When we went they had a particularly tasty horchata latte on the special menu today and it was REALLY good. I imagine their other coffee based drinks are also tasty. Want to try the pancakes next time. Service was great -- very nice people. They speak English and Spanish. Feels like a diner with a more upbeat, musical vibe. Buen provecho! read more

I came in on a gloomy Saturday to have brunch with my girlfriend. I haven't been here in years. The staff was incredible, they checked on us, multiple times, free coffee refills kept coming in. They had one vegan option but the Nick's polenta was bland to be honest. The vegetables were just steamed and the black beans really didn't have much flavor. I feel that the whole entire dish visually colorful; lacked flavor. Also, after sitting there with the door closed for over an hour, it got fairly smokey from all the cooking. Bathroom needed attending as well. CC accepted. read more

Although the prices have doubled, the staff has changed, and kiddos have joined the dining room experience since I last visited over a decade ago, the spirit and flavor of Boogaloos remains absolutely fabulous! Fake foliage hangs from wall mounted planters, quintessential 80's music flows from speakers above, and counterculture artwork lines the walls. Since I couldn't remember what I ordered so long ago when brunching with friends on Sundays was a regular happening, I ordered the tofu scramble today. The pesto sauce was a light added delight to the mashup of tofu and hash browns. The portions were hugely perfect. San Francisco is lucky Boogaloos remains. read more

Cute restaurant with friendly staff! Menu has great variety. I got the avocado toast which was pretty good, I think two toasts would've made this easier to eat, one egg per toast but it was still good! read more

Great service and LARGGGGE portions! The staff were helpful and had great banter. I opted for the chorizo and eggs, it came with four warm corn tortillas and black beans. Perfect to make that yummy breakfast taco. We also had the chicken and waffles which were crispy and light. Solid spot for a hearty meal we even left with leftovers for later :) read more

Interior was a diner vibe with a Latin twist of that makes sense! It was vibrant and lively inside, and the waiters were extremely attentive and patient. All of the dishes my friends and I got were delectable! I personally got their cubano, and it was huge and delicious. Everything you would expect in a typical cubano, but with large portions. The chicken cilantro soup was a pleasant surprise, and was slightly spicy and very flavorful. Plantains are a must and eating it with the beans makes it perfect. My friend let me try a bite of their birria taco dipped in both the consome and green salsa and it literally made my jaw drop on how good it was. I genuinely recommend this place for breakfast, brunch, lunch, everything! read more

I had a friend visiting from outta town, they wanted to explore the mission and suggested Boogaloos as our meetup stop for brunch. We got there on a Saturday after noon, and were able to get seated right away. The space is old-school diner vibes which I enjoyed. I'm not much of a breakfast person, so decided to go with their chicken pesto sandwich. I didn't have high hopes, but was surprised and how flavorful the sandwich was overall. The fries were good too. Not sure if it was 1000 island sauce, but it was a really good dip. My girlfriend got their chorizo quesadilla, and that was hefty, and tasty. The service was a bit rough around the edges. However, what I loved about this place was the portion size and price. Lots of food for the price and I think it's good value. Definitely would recommend for breakfast and brunch, especially if you are trying to satisfy a lot of different cravings. read more

My friend and I decided to stop by on Sunday around lunch time because we wanted to get brunch after visiting the kitty cafe. It wasn't too busy yet, so we were able to be seated immediately. I ordered the Waffle Special and she ordered the Square Cool Combo with the potatoes. It took around 20 minutes to get our food. The Waffle Special had bananas and strawberries which gave light sweetness to the dish. The waffle was soft and the scrambled eggs were fluffy and tasty. The bacon was a bit too dry and hard rather than crispy. Next time, I have to try a different side instead. My friend let me try her potatoes, and it was flavorful and soft. I typically go for sweet and savory dishes, so I felt that this had both elements. The place had cool art lined on the walls and some plants. The tables had cool pages and art decor which gave it this casual, artsy, vintage diner type of vibe. Our waitress was attentive and kind, checking on us periodically, refilling our waters when we were running low. It was great service. This is a nice casual diner with American and Latin American dishes and it had a good mix of typical breakfast foods that you would see in a brunch spot. They have plenty of other dishes that were interesting to us, so we definitely need to return and try next time! read more

I love the vibe here! Friendly servers rushing along to upbeat music. Plenty of menu options, they really have everything here. Portions are reasonable. Try the chilaquiles! Sooooooo good. My only complaint is that my latte was so hot that I wasn't able to drink it until I finished my food. read more

Came here on a Sunday morning. Parking can be difficult if you're driving so you may find yourself parking a few blocks away from the restaurant. When you arrive, there is a sign in sheet by the door to put down your name, party size, seating preference. We waited about 10mins to be seated. Vibe is casual. They have a large menu which I love because a lot of other places I've been to have limited options for breakfast. To start, we had the Bloody Mary and fresh grapefruit juice. For my meal I got the tofu scramble with ranchero sauce which comes with potatoes and your choice of toast (all vegan). It was so good, every bite of the tofu had so much flavor from the ranchero sauce. Potatoes were nice and crispy on the outside and soft inside. My husband ordered the eggs Benedict with hash browns and a side of pork sausage. He thoroughly enjoyed his food. Servers work as a team to put out food and drinks in a timely manner. This place is a gem and I will continue coming and bringing family from out of town to try more delicious food and drinks. read more

Stopped in for breakfast on a Thursday morning, and I have not stopped thinking about this place since!! The food, coffee, service, everything was 10 out of 10!! I got a delicious combination of pancakes, eggs, and chicken apple sausage and I was blown away by how delicious everything was!!! The waitress was incredibly nice and welcoming and I seriously can't wait to come back! read more

My friends and I stopped by here for a brunch in mission district. The place is well decorated and cozy. It was a filled restaurant by the time we came so we waited ~15min to be seated, but the staff was kind and quick to help us. The food was great and was exactly what we were hoping for- your typical breakfast food. Although nothing stood out as phenomenal, you can't really go wrong with ordering anything from the menu since all the dishes were still great. Our waiter was also nice and consistently checked on us. Great find, and would recommend for a solid, filling meal! read more

The food was subpar at best, the steak is unseasoned, and the waffles were not bad. The food came quickly and the staff was professional. The interior is beautiful, and the skylight makes for a pleasant eating area; the music is mostly throwbacks, and elevates the ambiance. read more

Food was absolutely delicious! I got the Chicken Pesto sandwich with fries on the side. Prices are very far, especially for the amount of food that you get. The server was very attentive and even made some recommendations from the menu. If you're not a breakfast food person, this is still a great spot to try out as they have a variety of other options. The restaurant is located on the corner of 22nd and Valencia and it brings in a lot of natural lighting. Beautiful space and lively music. I would definitely come back and bring my family/friends here. read more

Great first visit. The welcoming staff invited me to sit in a booth while I waited for my friend. Love the Latin boogaloo theme with album covers plastered over the table tops! Lots of tasty sounding options but we both went for the desayuno típico. The plantain cake was amazing! Naturally sweet and plenty filling. The plate also came with black beans, fresh salsa, and corn tortillas. Coffee was hot and strong. Central location in the Mission District. I'd happily return. read more

Great food, nice servers, the patio is never too long of a wait. Also great for dogs!

A fun diner vibe with fast service and quick hearty meals! We had to put our name down when we got there for brunch on a Saturday around 11 but we were seated within 10 minutes! Ordered the pesto tofu scramble and although the pesto was delicious, I wish the scramble had a little more depth to it. It tasted flavorless outside the pesto and cheese (maybe a simple pepper or vegetable added in would've done the trick. The hash was delicious! I love a good charred hash and that's exactly what this was! The portion sizes were big and filling too! read more

Boogaloos absolutely hits the spot! We stopped in for brunch and ordered the Waffle Special and the Desayuno Típico--both were phenomenal. The waffle was perfectly crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and topped with fresh fruit and just the right amount of sweetness. It came with eggs and bacon both cooked to my liking. The Desayuno Típico was hearty and flavorful, with perfectly cooked eggs, plantains, beans, and all the comforting Latin flavors you'd hope for. Service was warm and welcoming and the inside was cozy but spacious. This place feels like a neighborhood gem. Can't wait to come back! read more

I still come here often. I like the ambiance/vibe, and I like most of the food. The desayuno tipico is delicious with a sweet plantain cake! Often the wait time at Boogaloos is reasonable nowadays (in 2023), which is a nice change when you compare it to other SF brunch restaurants like Plow or Zazie. My biggest pain point is the ventilation, it often feels stuffy and hot inside the restaurant. The kitchen smells are strong at times too. Also the menu could get some updating, can we please have some more of the vegan options (maybe "just eggs," or faux cheese for the quesadilla)? read more

It was just an okay breakfast, pretty basic. I looked forward to the desayuno tipico but the plantain was pretty sweet and did not think it was too special. Service was pretty fast, we waited for 10-15minutes and were seated for a sunday brunch but a rainy day, so might be busier on regular days. I liked the lemon cornmeal pancake. read more

Not sure how this place wasn't packed out! Great food. A bit greasy but great for a hangover :)

For over twenty years, this has been my absolute favorite go-to breakfast spot. While the space has gone through changes and the service isn't what it used to be, the food still brings comfort to my soul. This mornings plantains and black beans were cooked to perfection. The potatoes have a soft crunch and the veggie gravy smoothers the cron biscuit just right. The coffee is still fantastic and while you don't have the long wait, the service just doesn't stack up from days past. read more

Boogaloos, beloved Boogaloos. Before I really knew about Boogaloos, I loved Boogaloos. When I got to know Boogaloos just a little, I loved Boogaloos like I love the Pork Store. Then there was a fire or something, and Boogaloos was closed. Then it popped up weekly on Sundays at Parada 22 on Haight Street, and Boogaloos grew even more Beloved. Then the original on 22nd Street reopened, and I braved a Sunday brunch rush alone--yes, I waited in line alone on a weekend morning in the Mission--in order properly to review it as part of ToTMW (year unknown, sadly). Would I breakfast at beloved Boogaloos regularly, or would I rest on my ToTMW laurels like I did with so many other Mission District haunts? And then my building burned down, and my new building is close enough that I often order takeout Boogaloos for a late lunch. I still eat in occasionally, but it's good to go as well. In person, I almost always order the Boogaloos Classic. That gravy! Yum. To go, I almost always order a half-order of Temple O'Spuds with a sunny-side-up egg on top. The soyrizo is good, as is Nicky's Polenta. I've never had anything I didn't like, and I've been here dozens of times over the years. The food quality is consistent, and the portions are large. The people who work here are nice, especially if you're a regular. I just really wish they were open later. If you've always wanted to fall in love with Boogaloos but haven't wanted to wait in one of those weekend lines, just come on any weekday morning. The place is never empty, although there are often only one or two other parties here when you arrive. Although I don't visit it as often as I did the Divis Herbivore (RIP) back in the day, I now realize that beloved Boogaloos is my new Herbivore. No, nothing can ever been the same as it was in 2012, but it can be similar. Eat here! Often! read more

Came by around noon on Saturday. It's fairly busy so put your name and party size on the list hanging by the front door and a server will come by and shout out the names for the next available table. We didn't wait too long before getting seated. I got the Chorizo and Eggs Hash with scrambled eggs. The portion is pretty big and it came out pretty quickly. Honestly a very solid hash - no frills. Personally I added some hot sauce it give it a bit more flavor (I think it could've been salted a bit more). Overall, pretty fun brunch spot. Very lively and a huge menu. Service is pretty nice even though they're pretty busy. Definitely check it out! read more

Boogaloos is located on a part of Valencia where parking gets very tight so plan accordingly. As for the space, the Boogaloos interior is comfortable, with ample outdoor seating, and it has a friendly and efficient staff. Regarding my order it was a generous serving of Bacon, Potato, Plantain and Fresh Fruit. To be honest the fruit is in the fridge because the servings were so ample, but I did enjoy the bacon that was not overly crisp which I enjoyed, flavorful potatoes, and properly cooked plantains. I also added some freshly cooked eggs making the meal perfect. Would I return, YES ! read more

Stumbled on this cute little brunch spot on a Sunday morning and we were not disappointed! My boyfriend and I were able to be seated right away and loved that they had both indoor and outdoor seating. I got the polenta-n-eggs and my boyfriend got the chorizo hash quesadilla. The polenta cake was very tasty especially when dipped in the eggs. Added some hot sauce and it was a really flavorful combination. The quesadilla was pretty good but the potatoes were a bit too big for my liking, would've preferred the actual hash form rather than cubes. Overall solid brunch spot and good service as well. read more

I came here on a Saturday for brunch and it was poppin'! Make sure that you're either here early or don't come too hungry to avoid getting hangry because most likely you'll have to wait. You sign up on a clipboard upon arrival and have the option to sit inside or outside (that was a nice option). I waited between 20-25 minutes before being seated inside. It was a chilly day so the outside tables had a faster turnover. I ordered the chorizo and hash scramble. It was really yummy and had that some of that yummy chorizo flavor. The potatoes were crispy which I was a huge fan of! The only downside was that I prefer my food, especially Mexican food, with a little more sazón so I sprinkled salt & black pepper on top and had ketchup mixed with Tapatío on the side for the extra zap. Tal vez le faltaba sal porque ya tenía el chorizo, pero bueno, ni creo que tenía sal los huevitos. read more

Such an amazing deal! A place like this is hard to come by in SF. Boogaloos was introduced to me by a friend and I can't believe I hadn't heard of it before. A popular spot with little to no wait. We walked in as a party of 2 on Sunday around noon and were seated within 5-10 min. We got the mimosa pitcher deal which came with a choice of plantains or yucca fries. We chose the latter which were crispy and flavorful. We each ordered the desayuno tipico for our one entrees - two eggs any style, beans, salsa, plantain cake w/ tamarind sour cream, corn tortillas. So good!! I'll definitely be back. read more
