    Passion Fruit Spritz
    Allie G.

    Such a cute Jewish deli! We only stopped by for drinks on Sunday (while killing time before brunch), but I would absolutely return for food. We ordered at the take-out/outdoor table side (literally a little red window) and grabbed a picnic table to sit at. There aren't many tables here, but they can easily fit a larger party. Our three drinks were ready very quickly, and came in plastic to-go cups with paper straws. My friend and I got the Passion Fruit Spritz (not bad but a little too sweet for me) and our other friend chose the Manishewitz Shpritz (I actually liked this one more! Almost similar to sangria). There are 7 different Spritzes on the menu though, so I would happily try some more. Will be back!

    I highly recommend eating here if you want to pay a lot of money and then get the wrong order. I ordered two double burgers with cheese. What did I get? Two single burgers with cheese. I usually let theses types of the things go because I hate to cause trouble, I just couldn't because the double patty costs $5 more. They quickly remedied the situation, but I just don't know what's up with the gal at the window. I enjoyed my drink, but the food isn't worth what it costs.

    we shared the Jersey Joe sandwich and potato salad
    Geri S.

    The Jersey Joe sandwich is a hefty substantial tower of delicious meats and creamy coleslaw - double decker roast beef, corned beef, and turkey - with a crisp pickle! We added potato salad to our picnic lunch... and finished with a cannoli at Victoria Pastry Co.

    Little Red Window is a very cute spot on a corner in North Beach giving patrons the option of dining in or ordering from said red window and chilling outside while you eat and drink. We wanted something boozy before dinner and walked by this place. We decided to get a Lemon Drop Spritz and a beer. We knew it was going to be steep but it's SF so assumed as much. It was $20 before tip for both drinks but the spritz was a 16-20oz cup and very strong. In fact, I wish it had more of a lemon kick because all I tasted was the vodka and Prosecco but had a nice buzz going afterwards. The burgers and fries the table next to us received looked very good, so I'd check out the food if you're hungry.

    Empanadas
    Lori N.

    I'm an empanada fan, but I'm also a real picky one. In fact, I'm more often disappointed​ than not. But man, these were amazing! Really loved the dough! It's not thick and doughy. It's on the thinner side, yet substantial enough to contain all that delicious filling. The filling to dough ratio is also on point too. They're not large, but honestly, I don't like those massive overstuffed ones with the filling to dough ratio all off. My favorite was the beef, but the pork and peppers and chicken ones are also great. They're all super tasty without being overly salted. Literally,​ keep your eyes​ out for a little red window. That's where they're taking orders and operating inside a small kiosk. No tables or seating. Just strictly take out from a little red window. So cute! They're not exactly inexpensive at $6.00 each, but they really are good, and some of the best in the Bay! TIP: Frozen empanadas are also available to take and bake at home. I wish I had picked some up!

    Cluck it like it's hot
    Shelley P.

    Little Red Window serves big chicken sandwiches! I tried the Cluck It Like It's Hot and the fried chicken was literally twice the size of the bun. The flavor and crisp was good and there was a nice zing from the pickled jalapeño and kale slaw (the variation from a normal pickle/cabbage slaw made for a more adult/classy version of your normal hot chicken sandwich). It did take a long time for someone to actually come take our order/receive it but it's a solid meal to pick up when you want elevated comfort takeout.

    Classic Beef Empanada
    Adam B.

    A tiny little window serving up a ton of empanada options. Service is really quick since they just need to pull the empanadas out and grab some sauces. I definitely appreciate the variety, but some empanadas end up being really great while others are just kind of ok. Chorizo & Potatoes Empanada: A bit heavy on the potatoes and light on the ground chorizo. But still tasty. Pork & Peppers Empanada: Probably my favorite of the different types I tried. So much flavor packed into those little empanada. Much fancier than some boring green bell peppers. And the pork was so tender. Classic Beef Empanada: Actually, quite bland. This is where the sauces come in handy. The other empanadas had a lot more personality. Chicken Empanada: This was a sleeper hit. When I think chicken, I assume boring. But there was an amazing brown sauce (mole?) covering the tender shredded chicken. Plus the empanada shell was fried (and maybe made of corn). Perhaps my second favorite empanada. Cheese Empanada: I love cheese, but this was a tad disappointing. It seemed there were more ancillary veggies in this than cheese. The fried shell was nice though. A little bland overall, but good with the sauces. Especially the salsa verde cruda. Buffalo Chicken Empanada: Non-traditional, but a lot of fun. Especially delicious with the creamy blue cheese sauce. It's like having wings, but without the bones. Fresh Herb Sauce: This was pretty bland. It was like chimichurri, but with a lot less kick. Not a fan. Plus it's blended like baby food. Homemade Chimichurri: I appreciate that the chimichurri was finely chopped and not blended into a paste. Felt a little light on the garlic and red pepper and oregano. But still ok. Nana Margarita's Salsa Verde Cruda: Really enjoyed this one. Lots of fresh tang. I'm used to salsa coming for free (and in large quantities) so it did feel a little weird to pay 75¢. Blue Cheese Sauce: Creamy with some nice blue cheese chunks. I swear they used some celery salt too, to make it more like a wings meal. My second favorite sauce after the salsa verde cruda.

    Pintxos biscuit and gravy
    Melanie S.

    Dinner is definitely a lot better than breakfast here but it is decently priced for breakfast. I ordered a bunch of things for dinner w friends and everything we got was good. It was awhile back so can't recall all the dishes. However, came to breakfast recently and the pancakes aren't worth it but the pork hash is! The pork hash was yummy and the meat was nicely crispy on the outer but still almost like pulled pork on the inside but in bite sizes!! If you're looking for tapas style for breakfast, get the pinxtos. I thought the biscuit and gravy was okay but it's fun to share small dishes w friends. 3/5 breakfast and 4/5 for dinner!

    Tried my first Rueben ever here and I have to admit, I liked it a lot more than I thought I would! It doesn't look or smell good but it was dank!!! Would definitely come back!!

    Pastrami sando
    Matthew W.

    This review is for the Jewish delicatessen window. I understand that the little red window rotates concepts so it might not be relevant in a few months. To preface this I will say that this is a promising start. As a Jew from LA, SF generally has had disappointing Jewish food at least for the last 10 years. But you know we have 2-3 solid bagel joints now so we are on our way to being you know an actual city. This was the best Jewish food I've had in the city that I didn't make myself. Pastrami sandwich - made correctly, On rye with seeded mustard, Pastrami - great texture and good flavor, you don't want your pastrami too soft, this isn't pork belly it's gotta have some chew. However my issue is that the scale of the sandwich is somewhat disappointing, A good pastrami or corned beef sandwich from Katz's, Canters or Langers is a mountain of brisket that is barely restrained by the two slices of rye. I understand that Canters as of 2022 is charging about 17.50 for theirs, I would be more then willing to pay an extra couple of bucks for the meat avalanche that I grew up on ( have you really gone to the delicatessen if you don't immediately want to take a meat shnatz after?) Smaltz fries - great flavor ( thanks chicken fat) and good texture. But again portion size for 7 bucks was a bit thin. Potato salad: yeah this was totally delicious, I could demolish at least a quart of this stuff which I probably should not say in public. Service and atmosphere: I think this is where the biggest disconnect was for me. I kinda feel weird eating a 78 dollar meal (two pastramis, an order of fries and potato salad, 2 beers + tip) at a parklet with zero table service ( like they don't even bring your order out to you). The parklet is nice, but I really hope that this chef eventually opens a more formal delicatessen because I personally value that more old school Jewish home away from home feeling. I think there's a lot of promise here, will I be back... yeah probably I'll just probably take it to go and eat it at Washington square down the street.

    Top to bottom: Mexican Chicken, Spanish Chorizo & Potato, Argentinian Beef
    Sofia R.

    I've been eyeing Little Red Window since they first started establishing themselves on the corner. Really loving the vibrancy of the venue! I waited for a day where I could place a larger order for myself or with other people. This time it was a party of one. I got three empanadas for $17: Mexican Chicken, Spanish Chorizo & Potato, Argentinian Beef. All very flavorful and each were definitely different from the other. My favorite of them all was the Chorizo and Potato for the buttery pastry and for the strong flavors. I also decided to try the Basque Cheesecake, which they source from Basque in the Bay. Never had Basque Cheesecake before, so I don't have a frame of reference but I thought it was tasty. Overall, good experience. While I did think that the servings were pretty small, everything packed a lot of flavor. Curious to try their cocktails snd other empanada flavors!

    Matthew H.

    Tapas menu is amazing! We had so many tapas on our table that I forgot to take pictures of them all. The potato were so good with the layers. The cauliflower sandwich was flavored to perfection. The puff pastry was overflowing with chocolate. GO, GO NOW and order all the tapas!

    Is this restaurant takeout window no longer going to serve empanadas? It looks like only burgers now. Very confused.

    It changes themes. Right now it's Jewish deli food. It's really good too.

    $12 breakfast burrito in the city?! What a steal…read more Gilberth's Latin Fusion caught my eye as I was passing by looking for coffee and breakfast. The rustic/home style decor was very welcoming and it seemed that a lot of the folks knew the cashiers/barista! Some people even stopped by just to say hi and welcome back the barista that was on leave for a bit. I forget his name, but he was a lovely person to chat with! I ordered a Breakfast Burrito with Carne Asada ($12) and an iced latte with Oat Milk ($6). It took ~15-20 for my burrito but the latte came out within five minutes and was made fresh with Portrero Trade Operations coffee beans! While waiting, I ended up buying a bag of coffee beans with flavor notes that were so unique- "cola, tomato, and herbaceous". For $25 you get a whole pound of coffee beans, which most only offer 12oz now. Get a bag while you can! The breakfast burrito was served with one green and one red salsa plus a small bag of chips. The burrito was decently sized and very juicy. I was a bit sad to see that the cheese wasn't melted inside, but the fresh pico de gallo inside totally made up for it. The carne asada had a great bite to it and everything was seasoned well. The salsa verde was absolutely stunning. Not too acidic and just the right amount of spice to go with my burrito. I ordered for takeout, but next time I'm in the area I'm definitely going to consider dining in for the full experience.

I had enchiladas for my entree. They somehow reminded me of a great lasagna, but they were just OK as enchiladas. The ambiance is nice enough to warrant a return visit, but I'm not rushing to come back. Related: they only serve beer and wine so there's that

Both were just so tasty and seasoned just right. They gave us a habanero based hot sauce to go with the chicken, but the chicken was so juicy and crispy on the outside and just so flavorful that it didn't need anything extra to make it better. We devoured every single one of our dish. We loved it so much, we're already thinking of making a special trip to Portrero Hill just to eat another meal here.

My partner and I ended up getting the margarita pitcher deal that came with 50 wings... (Hear me out). We got pretty tipsy off of the pitcher because the bartender put in a lot of tequila. So it's definitely worth it. We ate as much wings as we could, and saved the rest in our own Tupperware. There was a sign at the bar telling patrons that you couldn't take out any leftovers, but when we spoke to the bartender, he told us that Tupperware would be extra charge so we were lucky that we brought our own at that time. Now, the wings: Some of them were pretty dry. I'm assuming the bar would cook them before the happy hour rush and then they would reheat them with the sauces that people ordered. My partner, and I tried the buffalo, lemon pepper, teriyaki, and mango habanero. The mango habanero was spicy and sweet. I think that was our favorite. I was a little disappointed with the lemon pepper because it was really salty. And the other two were pretty mid. The staff was really nice. The vibes were pretty nice. We were early to the happy hour so there wasn't that much people and we also sat outside in the back patio, which was pretty cool. I could definitely see this bar being a very popular spot. I think if you come here with a big group of people and get the margarita pitcher with the 50 wings, it's a pretty good deal splitting it out with your friends. They have other deals as well where you would get a certain number of wings if you ordered a beer or a beer pitcher, etc. We just wanted to get as many wings as possible and get tipsy lol. I recommend this spot if you're meeting up with friends or had a long day at work.

If you're looking for great seafood in South San Francisco, I definitely recommend giving this place a try. Even parking was surprisingly easy, especially considering the restaurant's location. The only thing that left a sour taste in my mouth was part of the customer service. After seating ourselves, we waited several minutes without anyone coming by to take our drink or food order. One of my friends eventually walked up to the bar to order, where a staff member asked how he could help. She explained that we were ready to order drinks, and he responded, "We go to people's tables, and we will go to yours. Just relax." Unfortunately, his tone came across as stern and dismissive, which made us feel unwelcome. We genuinely considered leaving, but decided to stay and give the food a chance, and I'm glad we did because it was excellent. Hopefully our experience with the service was just an off day, because the food alone is worth coming back for.

And the chicken meat inside didn't seem marinated and tasted bland. It probably would be better if they added lemon juice after it was cooked or had given us some lemons to squeeze over the chicken before we dug in. 3.5/5 MANGO HABANERO CHICKEN WINGS ~ the sauce was spicy and tangy sweet, but it doesn't seem like they marinate their wings. It's only the sauce that gives the chicken flavor. 3.5/5 The wings aren't at all crispy. And flavor was ok and could have been better. But what was off-putting was the smell of the wings after we boxed it up and took it home! It had this gamey chicken smell as if it was old chicken. At least none of us got sick, but I'll think twice about revisiting.
