I absolutely enjoyed the food and the ambiance…read more Pros: I loved every single dish I've ordered. The service was decent, not quick however some of the dishes were made to order. The waitresses were friendly, and were always smiling. I enjoyed the live DJ, I was grooving while waiting for my foods. You can request how you want your steak to be done. Cons: there's only one restroom. The juices especially the passion fruit juice was way too sweet for my liking. staff are limited in the English language. This is the Mission District you can't expect fine dining, just point to what you wanna order if you don't speak Spanish. I highly recommend that restaurant.

My husband got Carne en salsa de Jalapeno(beef in an jalapeno sauce) and loved it. It came with rice, beans and tostones. Prices are also very reasonable. We're definitely going back.

Las Tinajas has been 1 of the few nicaragüense restaurants in SF…read more The food is good and they offer a variety of dishes, desserts and drinks. The bistek in this occasion was seasoned well, super soft. Gallopinto wasn't dry which is great and was a wonderful compliment to the dish. Tajadas were nice and crunchy but not too salty. Overall, I've always enjoyed las tinajas. Check it out if you want to try Nicaraguan food.

One of my favorite spots for authentic Nicaraguan food in San Francisco…read more I usually come for the knockout nacatamales and the Maria Elena plate, but today I needed something comforting and ordered the albóndigas soup. It was exactly what I needed -- rich, flavorful broth with big chunks of vegetables that make it feel hearty and nourishing. The food is always fresh, the staff was so nice, and the place has a cozy, authentic Nicaraguan neighborhood vibe. Portions are generous and the prices are very reasonable for San Francisco. Bottom line: the albóndigas soup is a must if you're looking for comforting homemade food.

Reviewing this restaurant to support Latin Heritage Month!…read more Recently browsing for food and came across Oye Managua and I'm like oh yeah, let's eat! We tried: * Steamed Cooked Boneless Brisket, Yuca, & Plantains (Baho con Arroz) $19.95 * comes with a side - Arroz & Frijoles $0.00 * Chia with Lemon (Chia Con Limon) $5.95 Boho is a traditional Nicaragua dish of meat, green plantains and yucca cooked in banana leaves. According to the internet, this originated from the mix of cultures between the indigenous, mestizos and Afro-Nicaraguans of the country. The food was good. The steamed cooked boneless brisket can be a tad bland and slightly hard (is it bc of delivery?), but it's helped with the repollo (cabbage slaw) and the encurtido (pickled veggies). We enjoyed the lemon drink with chia seeds. Having been to Managua, Nicaragua many years ago, I can say it brought back memories. We crossed the border on foot (tour bus and foot) at Penas Blancas. We got this meal delivered but the restaurant is: Oye Managua, located on Mission and Eugenia.

My husband is Nicaraguan and we have gone back and visited many times, I am in love with the food and so sad we never had any local options nearby...Antojitos to the rescue! My husband cannot get enough of the Carne asada plate with Gallo Pinto (black beans and rice) and I could eat Queso Frito (fried cheese) all day long! My husband had recently been trying to describe a garnishment he used to have, that he misses and we found it here. He was so excited to finally show me what he had been talking about, Chilero (pickled onions and carrots), it was delicious on both the carne asada and the queso frito! Also took home a nacatamale (a nicaraguan tamale) for dinner and as we were leaving, I saw that they also have quesillo (a creamy white cheese wrapped in a warm tortilla and smothered in crema) - I am going to need to come back soon and get this as well! I was so obsessed with my plate that I forgot to take a picture, but I did get a picture of my Nacatamale I brought home...you can see the sauce and the banana leaves just wrapped around this treasure and perfectly packaged, so I can drop it in boiling water to heat it up.

We got the Isletas Especial, which is basically Plato Nica Especial for two. It came with a generous of portion of everything except Gallo pinto, which I wish they would give us more of instead of the abundance of tajadas. I think rice goes pairs much better with the proteins than fried plantain does. But oh well, all is good. The price of $45 was reasonable given the taste and portion size. We liked it better than the comparable dish from Oye. Will definitely be back to try their baho and desayuno dishes. Street parking was easy on a saturday.

I started with cacao and this was creamy, chocolatey and delicious. We shared La Isletas platter for 2 people and this came with grilled pork, beef, chicken and tajadas, gallo pinto, fried cheese and salad. Maduro too which are sweet plantains. Everything was perfectly seasoned! The pork came with some juicy and fatty parts. The chicken was well marinated. The beef was perfectly juicy and cooked. I was so satisfied with my meal here.

It's a little hole in the wall place with only street parking. On Tennessee in the not so nice area. I was able to park right in front of the place, so didn't have to walk around too much. Walked in as someone else was walking out. It smells heavenly! No frills, old faded menus on the wall, 2 ladies behind the counter cooking. Not much room to wait. Pupusas are $4 each but they told me they were running a special 3 for $10 so I got 6 for $20. Carne asada with cheese. Yum! Was told 30 minutes and it started to get smoky in there, lol so then waited in my car. Please note, It is cash only, take out only. Before I went back in, the lady who took my order came out to me, (it was more like 10 min) with them all packed in a foil pan. And the pickled cabbage mix and sauce packed separately. It stayed hot and fresh. They are thick and full of meat and cheese. And so delicious! It was wayyyyy too much food. I could have ordered 3 for us. One pupusa filled me up ! We had leftovers that our sons came over and enjoyed. If you live any where near, and love pupusas and authentic Salvadoran food- GO!
