Catrachita Yucateca - Cochinita pibil torta - Honduran Near Me - San Francisco, California

This is a 4* for food and a 2* for value for money. I'm feeling generous and feel bad for restaurants that run their business this badly, so I'll give them a 4. Service was good, not great. They also have that bullshit 4% "SF mandate" tax. Prices are hefty for the Tenderloin, and in this segment, this restaurant is fighting an uphill battle. The prices are frankly unbelievable for what you get. I'm talking 8x cost... and they're STILL going to be losing money. read more

They weren't playing around with their fried chicken . First time trying Honduran Food and it didn't disappoint. Hope you check them out! Staff was super friendly and answered my questions about what's the most popular dish there. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibes were great, there were two tv's showing soccer and a group gathered there and it got lively! Loved it; seeing people enjoy good food and having a great time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] What I got: POLLO FRITO CON TAJADAS - Fried Chicken, Fried Green Banana, Cabbage, Chimol, Tomato Sauce, Dressing, and Pickled Onions BALEADA ESPECIAL - Fried beans, Cheese, Sour Cream, Scrambled Eggs, and Avocado EMPANADA MIXTA - Cheese, Ground Pork, Tamato Sauce, Cabbage, and Pickled onions The fried chicken was wild; the size of my head and super tender. You saw that it came right off the bone when I took that bite . I didn't grow up eating plantains but the way they made it and sauced it up, I was like, this is a healthy version of In & Out fries . A solid item for $20, def recommend! The Special Baleada was like a breakfast tortilla wrap, super light and fluffy, def a yummy breakfast item. Empanada was solid and would be a great snack on the go. - Ig@blacktigereats read more

Catrachita Yucateca - Enchiladas de Mole and 2 Huevos Estrellados con plátano frito y frijoles. - Honduran Near Me - San Francisco, California

I don't usually write reviews, but Catrachita absolutely deserves one. This is a delicious Yucatecan gem in San Francisco, and honestly one of the best taco experiences I've had in a long time. I ordered the steak tacos and they were hands down the juiciest tacos I can remember -- perfectly seasoned, tender meat, bursting with flavor, with so much going on in every bite that I kept stopping just to appreciate it. Nothing dry, nothing boring, just pure flavor. What really made this place special though was the people. After a horrible experience next door at Lafayette Breakfast and a long, exhausting day in court, Catrachita welcomed me and my daughter with open arms. Arreli was incredibly kind and warm, and that genuine hospitality completely turned my day around. You can feel the care here, not just in the food but in the way they treat you. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a small but surprisingly spacious hole-in-the-wall, the kind of place that quietly competes with the best when it comes to tacos and bold flavors.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]This spot is proof that you don't need anything fancy to deliver something memorable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I only wish Catrachita was in the same city where I live -- I'd be here all the time. Thank you for the food, the kindness, and the comfort. read more

Catrachita Yucateca - Pure deliciousness - Honduran Near Me - San Francisco, California

4.5 STARS Opening a new resto in the city is crazy. Opening a resto in the 'loin (TL) is even crazier and takes some gigantic balls. And, Catrachita Yucateca did it in the span of one month which is unheard of in the city. Mad props. Opening in early September 2024, Catrachita Yucateca took over Lapats Thai Noodles Bar (closed August 2024). They're open for takeout, delivery, and indoor dining. M E N U Mix of Honduran Cuisine (baleadas, sopa de frijoles, pollo con tajadas, etc.) and Yucatán Cuisine (salbutes, panuchos, cochinita, poc-chuc, etc.). English translations on the menu were a little off. Beer available. F O O D * Baleada Especial w/ fried beans, cheese, egg, avocado, sour cream ($6.99) // 4.5 Stars: https://tinyurl.com/c9spuu4n My goal is to try every baleada in the city (think a large Honduran soft taco) and this is right up there with my favs in The Mission/Outer Mission area. The handmade, griddled flour tortilla was thick, soft and chewy with a nice elasticity. Filled with creamy mashed beans, soft scrambled eggs, sprinkle of queso duro, a sliver of avocado, and creamy crema. Savory and deliciously satisfying. Their housemade habanero-jalapeno hot sauce packed a fiery tangy punch. * Poc-Chuc: Pork soaked in "beer" overnight, black beans, cabbage, and avocado ($18.95) // 4 Stars: https://tinyurl.com/53ab522v A signature dish of Yucatán, poc-choc is citrus marinated grilled pork (I think the english translation was off on the menu). The thin slices of pork was a tad dry but had a good smoky flavor and citrus tang. I really the crispy charred edges. Served with a side of creamy frijoles (black beans), tender rice, mild salsa martajada, slaw, and pickled onions. Three handmade corn tortillas were also included (thick, soft, and chewy). S E R V I C E Awkward start but the chef who brought out my order was very kind and gracious. I was the only diner at the time (weekday lunch) and my order took about 10-15 minutes. A M B I A N C E [[HIGHLIGHT]]Low key with faux plants and TV playing american football. Seating for about 30 people.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] P A R K I N G Metered street parking. Overall, solid Honduran and Yucatán food in the TL, and they're the only place that serves Honduran food in the area. If you're looking for something new to try other than the usual Viet and Thai restos in the TL, give this new business a try! read more

Giving this place some love because they don't have many reviews. I stopped in for lunch while I was in the area for jury duty. Panuchos are one of my favorite dishes so I ordered a panucho with carne asada and a baleada con chorizo because I've never tried baleadas. Both were delicious with a lot of flavor. The hot sauce on the table had quite a kick and was the perfect complement to both dishes. The staff were very friendly and patient while I was trying to figure out what to order. I would definitely go out of my way to go back. read more

This couple open up a restaurant in the tenderloin that is a mix of Hund, Aaron and Yucateca cuisine. She's from Honduras he's Mexican and the food they make is very homestyle, authentic and Filling. The meats are prepared perfectly with the rice seasonings, and you could still taste the natural flavors of the meat and it's not overpowered by any spices. They have different levels of spices that you could choose from. Please make sure to check before using them there is one that is Hot. Tortillas are made right there and all the breakfast ladders are large portions. Not to mention the meals are also large portions although they appear expensive. It is totally worth it. You'll have leftovers regardless the size of your appetite. I tried the carnitas baleada and it was amazing. So was the chicken panucho read more

I'm enjoying all these new Honduran restaurants. I've had some baleadas here, as well as a pork chop plate and both were quite good. It's a little bittersweet because I loved the Thai noodle place that was here before, but this is still a great addition to the area. read more

WOW, everything was so freaking delicious that unfortunately the only picture I have to share this trip is the massacre, the aftermath of devouring this delicious food. I will definitely be back and I will make sure to take a picture before I start eating lol read more

A friend called if I was hungry and grab something. We walked a couple of blocks and we thought we were walking into a Thai place, but, even better a new 20-day-old Mexican Restaurant! Specially Yucatán Restaurant. We tried a little of everything and it was all wonderful. The side of rice was perfect and the tacos were delicious. My friend had the seafood dinner and added the rice because it was so good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was open and welcoming, the music did not overpower the conversation and the waitress was friendly and respectful checked on us but didn't hover.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will go back again. My only request I would love a Margarita! Worth a visit... read more

Amazing food! We came here for the baleadas, which is our favorite Honduran food. We saw the variety of dishes in their menu and decided to try the "Salbut de Cochinita de Pibil (pork)" and the "Panuchos de Carne Asada", which is their version of tacos, and it was truly exquisite! Their flan is a must! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is aesthetic and very clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff were friendly and the service was prompt.

We arrived in SF for vacation and walked to this spot from union square with our infant, hungry and hopeful for some good Honduran food. Sadly it just didn't deliver. The baleadas were extra greasy, bland and they should be embarrassed to serve that kind of chicken in it. It was grey shredded chicken, cold with no flavor. The carne molida con tajadas had ok flavor but it was going cold when served. My husband was going to say something but I didn't want trouble. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We made the effort to come to the tenderloin (which we were aware of) for this meal and it felt like a letdown.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] With such limited Honduran options nearby, we were really craving something satisfying but this wasn't it. read more

Good food good prices. the cochinita pibil was really good. The cheese empanada was very good as well.

The food is great and the family that runs it is next level. Definitely worth it to try new experiences. It's not a typical Mexicano restaurant. The family goes for a Honduras cuisine here. I instantly fell in love with the food and come here often. I should have done this review sooner! They know how to treat you too! read more
