This is an intimate little Spanish restaurant located in the Tenderloin in San Francisco. Don't let the Tenderloin area scare you, this place feels upscale. It's not very large, just a few tables. I went with a friend while in the city for a conference. We ordered a few dishes and split them, including the alambre, tostadas de tinga, and birria tacos. Everything had great flavor and felt authentic, no Tex Mex in sight. Our waiter was a lively guy. Overall I would check it out again some night for dinner the next time I'm in the Tenderloin. read more

I tried an asada burrito a week ago & it was good. A bit smaller & not as much asada inside but the ingredients tasted fresh. About $17 & it comes with a side of spinach salad It's open late so that's what I liked & the staff was nice read more

Cozy spot inside a hotel lobby. We sat at the bar for the TVs; not a lot of people. I had the quesabirria tacos with consomé, a little small, but absolutely delicious and they did give you four. I've craved them since my visit! The Carne Asada burrito was good. It had refried black beans so that was a bit unexpected but tasty all the same! I would definitely come back, it's great for a quick bite before or after a night out. read more

El Mariachi SF - Hibiscus Drink - Delicious! - Mexican Near Me - San Francisco, California

1 Star This was one of the most disappointing meals we had in San Francisco. The restaurant we walked into looked nothing like the photos on Yelp. The menu was also completely different than what we expected. Instead of a full selection, there were only about eight menu items to choose from, and everything was extremely overpriced for what you received. The coffee was around $6 and tasted like instant coffee. My wife ordered the $19 avocado toast, which was just one slice of toast with an egg and what appeared to be avocado spread--not fresh sliced avocado or even guacamole. It looked and tasted very underwhelming for the price. I ordered the $20 chilaquiles, which were essentially tortilla chips with sauce and a single egg. Again, nowhere near what you'd expect for a $20 breakfast. The service didn't help the experience. Our waiter came over to take our order and deliver the food, but after that he never checked back to see if we needed anything, wanted coffee refills, or if everything was okay. The next time we saw him was when we were clearly finished, and he immediately brought the check. The total came to almost $65 for breakfast, and despite the poor service I still left an $11 tip, which, in hindsight, I didn't feel was deserved. I understand San Francisco is expensive, but high prices should come with quality food, reasonable portions, and attentive service. Unfortunately, this place delivered none of those. The biggest disappointment was that the Yelp photos and reviews did not match the restaurant we experienced. Based on our visit, I would not return or recommend it. read more

My new favorite place for Mexican food. A family owned business with a friendly ambiance & great service. This new restaurant is at the bottom of the Tilden hotel. I've been here a few times now for breakfast and dinner. The jamaica, quesabirria tacos, chilaquiles with green sauce & Mexican style steak are my favs so far. Fresh ingredients & made to order. If you like a sweet breakfast, the Mariachi concha is good too. They also make yummy cafe de la olla & horchata. read more

This place is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed with some of the warmest, most genuine hospitality I've experienced. The owners are incredibly kind and clearly care about their guests. The food was delicious! We got the chilaquiles for breakfast and they were so flavorful. The waiter told us that their grandma is the main cook, so that's how you know everything is authentic. Everything was fresh! The decor is vibrant, inviting, and full of character. Amazing food, outstanding service, beautiful space, and the nicest owners you could hope for. This is the kind of restaurant that makes you want to come back again and again. Highly recommend! read more

Best food!!! My friends and I were looking for a place with good food, drinks and vibe and this exceeded our expectations! The staff is really friendly and attentive. It is family owned and you can tell the care they have for the place. Can't wait for our next trip to be able to stop by again. read more

Honestly i thought since this place had 4 stars but it must've been either bots or people who's taste buds don't work. Me and my family all got different plates and it was overall horrible. The orange juice was 5$ to. And it wasn't even hand squeezed. It was bottled orange juice. I could've bought a big jug for 5 DOLLARS. And the chilaquiles were so soggy. And their breakfast menu was so small it consisted of little to nothing. The place its self looked okay. read more

Came here on Mother's Day . I don't know why my brother in law would pick this place ? It a little hole in the wall which doesn't bother me . The customer service was nonexistent! What's bothering me is this place smelled of bleach so bad it smelt like a toliet. It is a total assault of the senses ! the mixto fajitas are what I ordered but was honestly scared to try them my daughter got hers first and I immediately panicked I tried one bite and got a never so I was given the chicken Milaneseand it was just ok but while I was eating the waiter came up to my table asking who Tanya was and he started reading my review back to me as if that would get me to change my review just because he embarrassed me in front of my family .well it didn't it just made me angry . Leaving the restaurant was worse than coming in I almost had a junkie run into me and had to avoid stepping in shit all the way back to the car apparently they liked their plates .. I guess he picked this spot because he thought they were going to have live mariachis but they didn't .in conclusion I definitely would not recommend this restaurant. Later I found out my brother in law wrote a raving review of this place just to cancel my review out . He has no standards. I will never apologize for having standards ! Very unprofessional of the waiter to try a move like that !m never ever coming back . Hey can have this restaurant! I much rather go to an establishment like Tommy's Mexican restaurant that has stood the test of time for the garlic shrimp and the huge tequila selection. ! It's up to you ....... read more

Service was fantastic from the moment we walked in--warm, welcoming, and genuinely inviting. You immediately feel taken care of. The food was outstanding: incredibly flavorful, clearly made with very fresh ingredients, and beautifully prepared. A special note of appreciation for how thoughtful the staff was with my daughter, who is vegetarian. When we mentioned it, the waiter went out of his way to bring her a special green cheese enchiladas dish that wasn't even on the menu. It was delicious and made her feel truly seen and accommodated. An excellent experience all around. We will absolutely be back. read more

Was in town with the family and decided to stop in for lunch. We had a party of 7 and were seated immediately. The server who is also one of the owners was extremely friendly and helpful with the menu. This is a family owned restaurant and they treat you like family. The food was excellent and all homemade. We had chilaquiles, alambra and the quesobirria tacos. Tortillas are homemade and so are the salsas and guacamole. Pineapple aguafresca was amazing. After our meal we received a slice of the tres leches cake and it was so good. I highly recommend this place and please support family owned. read more

Chino, was a really great host, server, and bartender. Came in on a Tuesday, the restaurant was slow but he was very attentive to our needs. He gave us suggestions as it was our first time here. He also provided us with things to do around the area and served us with a smile the whole time. Would recommend this place based on the service but the food and drinks were also good! (: read more

If I could give a zero review I would. Service was horrible, waitresses were clueless, they brought the wrong food and it took a long time to bring us food and drinks, even though there were no people. This was a joke. The order was wrong twice and it took forever to get a drink despite a lot of staff. Consider another establishment. read more

Great service. Giovani is very attentive and brings to the ambiente. Nice atmosphere and the customer service 10/10.

I'm sorry what's with the good reviews.... Maybe I went on a bad day but they only had tacos at 11pm. I didn't mind since it was so late got every taco and came to my hotel to eat it. Service was nice but unfortunately was a waste we did not finish our tacos... they tasted like literally nothing. Dry meat and unseasoned. I'm thinking it might've been a bad day for them since the great reviews. I will say service was great tho read more
