    Chilaquiles full order with cochinta pibil
    Caitlyn M.

    Great neighborhood breakfast/brunch/lunch spot! They have all the classics and some Mexican food. The service is also great, the staff are all very friendly and warm. That and the delicious food make me want to come back! I stopped by for a weekday lunch a little after 11am and was seated right away. You order and pay at the front register and they'll give you a number for the food for your table. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a cozy spot so they probably have a wait during the weekends, I saw a clipboard with a waiting list outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We got the pumpkin pancakes which were seasonal and a full order of the chilaquiles with cochinita pibil. The portions were massive! The pancakes were delicious, very fluffy and light. The chilaquiles were sooo good! Covered in sauce and still crunchy. Everything was so tasty! Definitely recommend this spot!

    My kid and I walked by this too many times to not stop in today. Customers service was a 10/10! So at tentative and didn't even have to ask for anything. They check in and showed us what was on the table. I got half of their chilaquiles and added sour cream and avocado 9/10, wish it was cruncher My kid got their breakfasts burrito with chorizo. She loved it! It was a fatty. But omgeez their Mexican coffee!!!! Was soooooo good. My kid and I loved it. It's sweet but good.

    Lucho's turned out to be one of those breakfast/brunch spots that completely exceeds expectations. We stumbled in around 10-11 a.m. on a Sunday morning and even though there was a wait of over 30 minutes (it honestly flew by as I explored the area).The setup is unique you order before being seated but given the wait time it actually works perfectly and gives you plenty of time to decide what to get. Let's talk about the star of the show: the chilaquiles. They were amazing hands down some of the best I've ever had. My group ordered them three different ways and every version was delicious. I went with the standard sauce added beans, cheese, and an over-medium egg PURE perfection. My boyfriend's version came with birria, cilantro, onion, sour cream, and beans. The portion sizes are generous (Lucho's definitely doesn't skimp). I ordered a half portion and it was just perfect leaving me full but not overstuffed. A full order could easily be shared between two people unless you're really hungry. I paired my meal with a café de olla, which was rich and the perfect complement to the meal. My boyfriend had a michelada and it was spot on flavorful, balanced, and refreshing. What really stood out beyond the food was the owner's presence. He was everywhere: greeting guests, helping with orders, serving, and checking in with tables. [[HIGHLIGHT]]That kind of hands-on hospitality makes a huge difference and really adds to the warm, welcoming vibe of the place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you're in the area, Lucho's is absolutely worth the wait. Between the incredible chilaquiles, generous portions, and genuine service this spot has earned a permanent place on my must-return list. Highly recommend!

    Chili Relleno
    Sally Y.

    Fantastic place for breakfast brunch or lunch in the outskirts of West Portal near 19th Ave and Ocean. We were met with friendly service and had seats right away, which is rare on weekends. Order at counter, grab a number to place on the table and get served Mexican inspired comfort food. I had a yummy Chili Rellenos and my daughter had a huge breakfast burrito which she could barely finish half at one sitting. (She ate the rest for dinner.) Small space with good ventilation, high ceiling and warm vibe.

    Heads up this place is small so expect a wait but it was worth it. The gal behind the counter was so nice and kept apologizing for the wait. The food was delicious and portions are good. You can definitely split a dishes and try multiple dishes.

    Brief Summary: - Most of the menu includes house habanero salsa - Kind and attentive staff - Wait time was around 30 minutes, depends on your waitlist timing - Indoor and outdoor seating available - Low spice tolerance, when mixed in a dish, I was able to eat the house habanero salsa without feeling overwhelmed by the spiciness (that is amazing) - Coffee was not sour Decided to eat here for brunch. Already there were a cluster of guests waiting at the door. The restaurant is small, where the kitchen takes most of the space, so there are limited amount of seats. Fortunately, there is outdoor seating, but there is still time to wait. For the young children, there are coloring books and crayons for them to draw while waiting in line, so there is a good deed of kindness for children and families. I did not view the menu until after we wrote our names into the waitlist. It was then I realized that most of the orders come with habanero peppers. How did I also not notice the little apostrophe on Lucho's is is a literal habanero (very cute). This turned out to be a feint startle, in which I'm still surprised about. One of my family members have stronger spice tolerance, so after some deciding they chose the Chilaquiles. I got the Polozé, and my other relative, who is also on the low spice tolerance, chose the 2 eggs any style dish. Yes, I took a bite of the Chilaquiles, and this was so surprising. I felt the spice, but it wasn't the intimidating painful spice that I have heard of from hot sauce stores. This was a delicate, a wonderful accent to boost the overall flavor of this dish. Wow, I was blown away, I can eat a dish with habanero pepper and I didn't drink down a whole cup of water; not even a sip. This restaurant has a cook with magic hidden in their sleeves. When I was deciding on what to order and was hesitant on ordering a dish with habanero, I was leaning between an avocado toast or the Pozolé, and I am so glad I chose the latter. I love soups, and this was absolutely delicious. First, each spoonful scoops up pieces of pork or vegetables. The broth is rich with pork and chilies, and this one wasn't spicy either. The staff were stars as well. Almost each one came by and asked how we were doing, checked for coffee seconds, and took away the eaten dishes. They were such lovely people and the food was truly amazing. This is a must-return restaurant to try other dishes. Next time, I'm more eager to try other dishes that have the house habanero salsa because now I know it's not going to be deadly spicy.

    Great food and fast service even when they're busy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great neighborhood restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Try it.

    This is my new favorite restaurant! The food was incredible--the chilaquiles were the best I've ever had, and the apple pancake was amazing. I loved that the apples were incorporated into the batter instead of just being placed on top. If you like your coffee sweet and cinnamon flavored, I highly recommend the Mexican coffee. My friend and I came for brunch on a busy Sunday morning. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. You wait in line until a table opens up, order at the counter, take a number, and your food is brought to your table. We even chatted a bit with the owner, Lucho--he's so kind and welcoming!

    Pineapple Upside Down Pancakes- Full Order (back) and FULL Chilaquiles (front)
    Serena P.

    visted luchos this sunday morning for brunch. we had previously came years ago and were excited to see if it was as good as we remembered. we put our name on the waitlist and the service was extremely friendly and helpful. we received menus and the specials menu as we waited for a table to become available. [[HIGHLIGHT]]we placed our order at the counter and sat outside in the parklet since it was a nice day.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] we ordered the mexican coffee, house coffee, full order of chilaquiles with soyrizo, and the pineapple upside down pancakes. everything came out quickly and hot. nice touch with the insulated cups which kept our coffee hot. the food was delicious and came in large portions, perfect to share. we were informed about the 3 different hot sauces, all were tasty but our favorite was the jalapeno lime one. definitely will come by again for the great service and food!

    Breakfast Burrito
    John P.

    I stopped by because I was hungry and saw a lot of great reviews--especially about the breakfast burrito, which seemed to be a fan favorite among Yelpers. I went around 10 am on a Saturday, and the inside of the restaurant was already pretty busy, so I ended up sitting outside in their parklet. I ordered the breakfast burrito with cochinita pibil, which the cashier highly recommended as one of their most popular proteins. Service was great overall. The staff was friendly and attentive, and my food came out within 10-15 minutes, which was nice. As for the burrito itself... I was honestly surprised by all the hype. The flavors didn't really hit--it was pretty bland and not what I expected based on the reviews. If I do decide to return, I'll definitely be trying something else on the menu.

    Cochinita Pibil Benedict
    Dana S.

    This place is BOMB!! I realize I'm showing my age by saying that but I don't care, it's that good. This is one of those reviews that I almost don't want to leave because I don't want it to become crazy crowded with long-ass waits, which I imagine already happens if you come particularly on the weekend. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We came on a Tuesday morning and there was a steady flow of guests that only increased in the short time we were here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's not hard to see why. They have things on the menu like peach pancakes, cochinita pibil Benedict, empanadas, spicy fried chicken sandwich, and pozole! This place speaks to me! Like sometimes I don't want a side of toast, and yes! Sometimes i would absolutely love a taco instead. Well here you can have that! It's Mexican-American cuisine done right with so much love. Kelly, one of the owners, knew every ingredient in the cochinita, the carnitas, the hot sauces (there's 3 of them, all house made!), and was serious about the hollandaise sauce. I instantly loved her. She was warm, inviting, and her food speaks for itself. She gave us the rundown on the name of the restaurant which I thought endearing and only made me fall in love with this little gem even more. I had to order the cochinita pibil Benedict because it's cochinita with hollandaise sauce!! Both are my love language and now they're together!! This is the kind of cooking that is innovative, original, and comforting. Food that makes me feel good. The pork was savory deliciousness with perfectly poached eggs, and a hollandaise sauce I wanted to swim in. She was spot on with that hollandaise sauce. I take that sauce very seriously because it can make or break that whole dish. Frankly, there's a lot of restaurants that don't take it serious enough. Too many. If you can't make a good sauce or properly poached eggs then please do us all a favor and stop serving this dish. Luchos, please don't ever stop! The hot sauces on the table were excellent as well. My favorite being the dark red one. I think it was something with chipotle. This is the type of hot sauce you'd want to put on so many things. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This restaurant is small but oh so charming. There is outside seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Be prepared to wait if you come on the weekends and if there is a wait, do us all a favor, don't camp out. Ambrosia is right up the street for that. Thank you Kelly and staff for such a wonderful experience. This is my new favorite brunch spot. Keep up the great work. Your food and your hospitality inspire me.

    Eggs Benedict, sooo good! Around $23 8/15/25
    Elaine Y.

    For lunch I had the eggs Benedict which was soooo good, it came with some cubed potatoes $23 and the egg yolk was runny and tasted divine with the sauce, even when I got it home. This place is always busy and I am so glad it's in my neck of the woods. My go to for breakfast brunch or lunch in the neighborhood.

    Is the nearby parklet on Ocean Ave open to your patrons?

    Hi! Yes, the parklet is for our customers.

    What happened to your location in Marin?

    Hi, thank you for you question. Rising food costs, labor shortage and the gas prices commuting.,, just bad timing.

    Do you accept proof of vaccination with only one vaccination?

    Hi! That is a very good question. As per San Francisco mandate, we need proof of full vaccination, so either 1 dose of J&j or 2 doses of of Moderna or Pziser. We do however have a lovely outdoor space, and no vaccination is required.

    Does they take reservations?

    No, I am sorry, we do not.

    Is it cash only?

    No, they take credit cards.

The crispy chicken was recommended by the server and it truly did not disappoint. The chicken was crisp and juicy and the noodles were cooked perfectly. For drinks we got the Thai iced tea, butterfly lychee fizz, and the coconut milk latte. I got the Thai ice tea less sweet and it was perfect for me ( I usually don't like it super sweet). The butterfly lychee fizz was very refreshing (could be less sweet for me) and the coffee was also very good! Would definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in the area or looking for brunch food that isn't your typical American brunch!

In my opinion Lapisara ranks in the middle due to the other excellent options available. Seated immediately--had a reso but on a Wednesday morning not really necessary. It took a long time for the single employee to get to us but we weren't in a hurry. Cappuccino was very good in a cute "bear mug" and very reasonably priced. We shared a pacific omlet--not much crab, lots of shrimp, and nice swiss cheese/scallions but tasted kind of fishy--potatoes were only avg. Son said huevos rancheros were average. Price point good for SF and portions adequate to share. Location convenient so we will try dinner there tonight before a comedy show nearby. Dinner-5++ stars; 4 of us Had dinner last night-6pm-reso but not needed. only one other group dining. Single Waitress was great-we let her know we needed to leave in about an hour for a show and she timed everything perfectly--we even had time for dessert. we ordered so many items that she brought over an extra table--we shared everything family style. Most Yelp reviews only mention brunch but the dinner was awesome--service; food: taste/quality, presentation, portions, prices we phenomenally low for SF ($200 with a bottle of wine for 4 people). We started with the garlic butter clams-small but tasty. Tuna tartar was excellent quality and enough to share. Samosas were more like empanadas--very good with peanut sauce so good it rivaled my own home made. We continued our culinary adventure with crab fried rice-delicious, a large portion and my son who lives in SF and has tried dozens of crab fried rice ranked it in the top tier. The pacific catch rice noodles with crab was also excellent-big portion, lots of crab, tasty. Final entree was their specialty-Mussaman Curry. Wow, tender meat/potatoe "stew" with a very unique flavor from the star anise/cinnamon and peanut--to die for. Creme Brulee was very good with lots of fresh fruit accompaniment My only complaint was a very limited wine selection. Lapisaia will become one of our regular spots for dinner!!!

They had a nice crisp on the outside and were soft on the inside. I also got a regular coffee, and they do unlimited refills. The place was busy for brunch, and I liked the bear theme. Some of the coffees came in bear-shaped glasses, and some of the lattes had a decorative bear made out of ice.

We ordered Chicken and Waffle 3/5 Chicken is well seasoned but a bit on the oily side. Waffle tasted like Trader Joe's Belgian waffle. It's good but I don't know I expected more. Grits is ok. A little bland without the honey butter. But paired really well when eaten with the honey butter. Breakfast platter Hashbrown is seasoned and cooked well. Crispy on the outside and tender inside. Bacon is nice and crispy. Scrambled eggs as expected. Sourdough toast was very good. Mocha was good. Ordered it less sweet but still a bit sweet to me. But still yummy.

    Amazing! I'm actually going there for the second time today!…read more My family arrived early, so the wait was only about five minutes before we were seated. I don't remember if there was music, but it was a busy, lively place with multiple conversations happening at once. It was definitely a cozy, home type atmosphere. A few people ordered chicken and waffles, so I had the chance to try it, and it was delicious! The waffles melted in my mouth! That's what I plan to order next time. I order a Korean chicken sandwich. It was very tasty and large. I had leftovers! I was disappointed because I forgot my leftovers on the table . Note to self: NEVER DO THAT AGAIN. The lemonade was very flavorful, and my kids enjoyed it too. I even tried an alcoholic beverage, I can't remember the name, but I swapped it for lemonade because it was THAT good. As I mentioned earlier, I will definitely return to this restaurant and highly recommend it.

I ordered the K-Bomb chicken Benny and oh boy will you leave satisfied in every way. The perfectly poached eggs are served on top of a fluffy slice of bread topped with kimchi-hollandaise sauce. The chicken was a Korean style fried chicken with a crunchy sweet and spicy bbq sauce reminiscent of gochujang and honey. Home fries and green salad with sesame dressing topped it all off. The mango matcha latte was also quite good and the price for SF and for all that food was great value for the money. Ambiance is casual and a bit loud as can be expected from a brunch place but overall it is clean and a fun spot to meet friends for brunch. Don't stay too long after paying though or you will get stared at by the folks waiting in line. Overall definitely recommend checking them out. I look forward to trying other specialties here.

    FYI: come here on a weekday if you're not looking to wait an hour for a table…read more my sister had an early layover in san francisco coming back from her asia trip so we went to plow because i live literally a 10 minute walk away! and it was also her birthday 2 days before her layover so we were doing a belated celebration. WHAT I GOT: the plow PROS: those lemon ricotta pancakes were as good as they say. super fluffy, great lemon flavor, balanced out the rest of the heavier, greasier items on the plate nicely. they were absolutely delicious. the potatoes were also up there. super crispy and flavorful. service was speedy and friendly with no line at all when we got there. granted we arrived at like 8am on a thursday morning but within the next 10-15 minutes of us arriving, most of the tables inside were occupied. CONS: ok i know this is me complaining about something that's just a "san francisco" thing, but i feel like the portion size did not match that $26 price tag. yes, the pancakes were delicious, but i was expecting them to be a bit bigger for how much i was paying. like they don't have to be diner sized but it just felt a bit underwhelming.

    If you're looking for the quintessential SF brunch, Plow is it. Tucked away on a quiet corner in…read morePotrero Hill, it has all the charm of a neighborhood diner without the downtown chaos. The residential setting is part of the appeal - you can actually spread out, and it's a lovely area to wander while you wait for a table (and you will wait, so plan for it). The outdoor seating is the way to go. Indoor feels cramped. On cooler mornings they'll even hand you a blanket. Sitting outside on that peaceful corner watching the neighborhood wake up is a charming experience. Only downside of dining al fresco: a fly landed on my sausage. But credit to the staff - the waiter noticed and brought out a fresh plate without me even having to ask. That kind of attentive service goes a long way. The food lives up to the hype. The lemon ricotta pancakes are the star for good reason. They were light, fluffy, and not too sweet. The crispy potatoes were excellent too, just be warned they come out scorching hot (I burned the roof of my mouth going in too eager). Give them a minute to cool. Upside of parking on the top of that steep hill is that you'll burn off your breakfast calories getting back to your car.
