Of course the birria is killer but don't sleep on any other proteins, they're grilled fresh and full of flavor. I don't think any dish has been a miss. The price is higher - I get that complaint. But it's really reflective of the restaurants labor and quality of ingredients.

What really bothered us was that we were asked to clean up after ourselves, even though we had already left a tip upfront when ordering. If customers are expected to bus and clean their own tables, then what exactly are we tipping for? I don't mind helping keep a table tidy, but when you combine that expectation with rude customer service, it leaves a really bad impression. Good food can only go so far when the service makes you feel like your business isn't appreciated. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I wouldn't recommend La Vaca Birria and won't be rushing back.

It captures that nostalgic, sweet profile that tastes remarkably like a white gummy bear--deliciously fruity and dangerously easy to drink. The cocktail features a chili-salted rim that adds a nice kick, cutting through the sweetness of the drink and the richness of the steak perfectly. It's a great balance of playful flavors and sharp presentation. Between that perfectly tender, juicy steak, the flavor-soaked fries, and a drink that hits that sweet spot so well, Kinara is proving to be one of the best dining spots in San Francisco. It's a high-energy meal where every component actually lives up to the hype.

A perfect appetizer to share with the warm pita, and each dip had its own delicious flavor. The calamari was another great starter--tasty and definitely worth ordering. For our mains, the braised beef short ribs were incredibly tender and comforting, served over creamy mashed potatoes with vegetables. We also loved the whole branzino--beautifully cooked, flavorful, and delicious with the greens and grilled lemon. Everything we tried was satisfying and full of flavor. I especially love that Lokma has that charming little neighborhood-restaurant feel where you can settle in, share a bunch of dishes, and enjoy a relaxed meal. Definitely a place I'd happily come back to!

This tea is probably still sizzling hot it was so dang hot we could barely drink it. 2. bulgogi - it's chopped up so a bit different than how I've eaten it before. I wish it was a bit more whole. Feels like you're eating ground beef (texture wise). 3. Chicken wings- good. Crispy and hot. We got the sauce on the side and we preferred without sauce. 4. Soft tofu soup- so good!!!!! Service was definitely fast and the food too. Not crazy about plastic water containers but definitely is convenient for the table but I prefer some nice ice cold water. I would definitely come back for a mellow bite to eat or even dressing up for a cute date.

The breakfast comes with several small dishes and dips served with pita bread, while the wraps are large and generously filled.

The restaurant is close to the Mission District and, from the outside, it might not immediately catch your attention, but it is definitely worth trying. The service was also excellent, and the ambience made the experience even better.

Also, the record is absolutely stunning--I wish took photos of it! My friends and I shared the platters family style and ordered the tea leaf salad, platha and dip with chicken, ginger chili pork, chicken with fresh mint, and some coconut rice and jasmine rice. We had the tea leaf salad mixed by a staff member table-side, which was nice, and the salad itself was simply delicious. Quite possibly one of my favorite salads I've ever had because of all of the wonderful flavors that pair well with each other. The platha and dip that we ordered with shredded chicken in the dip was addicting! The chicken was beautifully tender and the dip was packed with the flavor! I was blown away by the nice texture of the platha as well! As for the main dishes, the ginger chili pork was cooked perfectly, and the ginger and chilis added a lovely flavor and punch to the dish. My favorite between the main dishes has to go to the chicken with fresh mint. I've never had a dish like this, and it made me speechless. The flavors were bursting out of this dish and the bold mint flavors made it even more tantalizing. Lastly, I only had the coconut rice, but it was perfectly cooked since it was nice and fluffy, and the coconut definitely shone through. I will certainly come back whenever I have the chance to come back to the city!

I ordered the tea leaf salad and samosa soup for myself. The samosa soup was absolutely fabulous--rich, flavorful, and so satisfying--and the tea leaf salad was lovely as well. Everything we ordered was delicious, and finding a restaurant that both I AND my kids are this excited about is always a win. We will absolutely be back. Easily a 10/10!

I also couldn't find a way to call to make a complaint. Hopefully they can be more careful with orders in the future.

We've tried Halal Wings Plus a few times before throughout the years and it was always a pretty solid choice. The neighborhood is a bit shady, so beware of your surroundings and watch where you're stepping, cuz you don't wanna be stepping on sh** or b@rf! The menu is above the cashier, so you just order and pay up front and get the receipt with your order number. They'll call the number out when it's ready. I think there's roughly 8-10 tables, if you decide to dine in. ***OUR PICKS*** We ordered 20 wings with 2 flavors. LEMON PEPPER CHICKEN WINGS ~ lots of pepper flavor but the lemon did not shine. 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.
