    Challah Custard French Toast - 1/2
    Mansi A.

    This was such a nice, cozy spot tucked in a corner in Nob Hill. Glad I finally got around to trying this place as it's been on my list for a while. While this French toast wasn't jaw dropping, it was still a yummy meal. The service was quick and attentive, and we weren't kicked out despite going on a very long yap session. Would come back in the future!

    Empanada Plate
    Amy L.

    Finally checked out this cute restaurant which opened in the last 2 years! The artwork hung on the walls appear to be from local artists with prices for sale, which added to the ambiance. My first impression was that the menu prices were higher than expected, and the portions are quite small for what you get. I ordered the empanada plate, which was tasty but nothing out of the world. The eggs Benedict were also tasty but small portions as well.

    Empanadas

    Mayaflor has been my favorite brunch place in Polk Gulch. Now with a new chef and expanded menu, they started serving dinner, too! It's tucked away on a cute, quieter street corner so it might be easy to miss out, but they serve very authentic Peruvian food and I highly recommend it to anyone who likes Peruvian/ Mexican food. The owner is Peruvian but she developed a menu that inspired both by Peruvian and Mexican food. It's one of a kind. The pulpo a la parrilla is tender and juicy, the sauce in lomo saltado is very rich and delicious. The empanadas is definitely one of the highlights of the evening. The service is amazing as always. Please go and support this amazing local small business and their new venture into the dinner scene!

    Peruvian quinoa salad
    Terry R.

    MayaFlor left us satisfied but not impressed. We ordered the Peruvian quinoa salad with grilled chicken and the chilaquiles divorciados (red and green combo). We are HUGE fans of chilaquiles and have had our share of amazing chilaquiles. Though I appreciated that they offered a red and green combo, the chips lacked the thickness to hold the sauce without becoming soggy. The red and green sauces were both descent. Beans always take a chilaquiles over the top for us but the black beans in this dish fell flat. A delicious salad always excites my taste buds but the Peruvian salad missed the bar on greatness. The staff, though friendly, forgot the grilled chicken I added to the salad . They were very apologetic and provided a five star response by not charging me for the chicken that they eventually brought out. Unfortunately the chicken was a bit dry and the amount was not worth the $6 it would normally cost to add chicken breast. It was also disappointing that the olives added were not pitted and therefore could not be enjoyed with each bite of salad unless I wanted to chip a tooth. Overall the dishes were decent and it was not hard to finish both plates but with the abundance of excellent food options in SF, we will not be returning.

    Lomo saltado
    Mila J.

    Great local spot with delicious lomo saltado and cute decor. They even have a small outdoor area to eat where you can people watch while enjoying your food. I took my food to go and it was so good, I want to come back to try more items on the menu and dine in. The workers were so friendly when I stopped by!

    French toast & Heuvos a la mexicana
    Christiane F.

    Was going to Mymy across the street but the line was too long and I stumbled upon Mayaflor. I loved the French toast, it was super tasty and not too sweet but the Huevos a la Mexicana was pretty average. The servers are really great! very attentive without being overbearing. Overall a really good experience!

    Updating my review since it's 2025! Still an amazing brunch spot -- I typically go on weekends. Try to snag a table outdoors if it's a sunny day -- they're located on a corner, so it's also a cool spot to people watch. With that said, there is a decent amount of indoor seating available. In order to enter, there are a few steps you'll have to go down (in case accessibility is something you consider). The restaurant is run by the cutest family so there's a cozy atmosphere. There's not too many staff members, so it might take a while for things to come out when it gets busy (pretty standard compared to other places). There's a decent amount of classic breakfast items, and then a fun mix of Mexican dishes. On weekends, they have various specials available if you want to try something off menu! I personally recommend getting a side of french fries with whatever you order-- they're one of my favorites in the city and I always order them when I come (spicy aioli sauce is also top tier). I haven't tried their drinks myself, but friends have enjoyed them. Overall, this spot is one of my most frequented and I don't see that changing anytime soon! Give Mayaflor a shot and you won't be disappointed. Would love to see this small business pop off and thrive in 2025 (:

    Chilaquiles
    Kelly R.

    Fantastic food and service! Great menu with lots of different specials. We ordered the chilaquiles and the steak and eggs. Both were phenomenal, but definitely recommend ordering the steak and eggs for the group. Everything tasted fresh and light, and the staff were extremely kind and attentive. Can't recommend this place enough!

    Cafe de olla, hot Mexican chocolate and fresh maracujá juice.
    Claudia K.

    OMG! What a hidden gem! From outside it doesn't look special but don't be fooled, they prepare the most delicious dishes and the service is up and beyond. Highlights: the hot Mexican chocolate (it reminded me of old time birthday drinks) and the French challah toast is superb! Service is great and accommodating. Place is cozy once you step in.

    No wait to be seated but the food took about an hour!!! The service is amazing everyone is so sweet and welcoming. When the food finally arrived it was so. good. Not sure if it was worth the wait but definitely a great spot.

    Pozole! It was the special of the day!
    Jack J.

    Isn't this place just a breathe of fresh air! The server was excellent, food was spectacular, and is in a great cozy location. Would highly recommend stopping by.

    Excellent cuisine. Freshly made. Unique omelettes and food with Mexican flair. Great service. Very friendly staff. You will enjoy it. (The dinner menu also looks good. Peruvian )

    Chilaquiles divorciados
    Grace C.

    I used to get brunch at Olea once a month back when I lived in Nob Hill, so I was pleased to learn that they brought back their chef and some of the brunch favorites like the cazuela and challah french toast to MayaFlor. I came for brunch today and ordered the chilaquiles divorciados style, since I wanted to try both the green and red sauces. The chilaquiles were so delicious. I ended up enjoying the red sauce more, but I liked getting both sauces. I stole some avocado from my partner's salad and wished I had ordered avocados on the side. These avocados were so tasty. We also got an 1/2 order of the French toast to share between two people, which was also a great choice. The French toast is even better than I remembered. I'm definitely going to add this to my regular brunch rotation and try the Peruvian items like the lomo saltado and pollo a la brasa. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the neighborhood.

I think about this burrito daily and am willing to travel across the country to get it again. Not to mention, but this is a Mission style burrito in the Mission!

A few people were already in there eating, and we know this place is good, as a few others in our group and I have been here multiple times. The Taqueria is typical of any other, with bench-style chairs for folks to sit on, a water station, and workers cooking it up in the kitchen. I wasn't too hungry, so I grabbed a Super Lengua Taco, while my friends grabbed burritos, we ended up grabbing 3 complimentary chips and guac/salsa with our order and the food came out pretty quickly. When I saw my Taco I forgot how much they stuffed it and wow, two of these would've filled me up just like a taco; there was so much Lengua that it kept falling off after every bite. The flavors all came together and I scruffed down the whole thing after about 6+ bites! Definitely a place to come to if you're looking for a full meal, or something to snack on!

Despite the crowds, the staff kept things moving and the process seemed efficient. The food didn't live up to the hype. That said, many people around me appeared to be enjoying the tacos, so I may give those a try if I decide to come back. Oh and no bathrooms that you can use--I'm sure that is not legal...
