Delicious menu priced fairly! The staff is super friendly and it feels like you're eating at a friends home super cozy inside and quick service. Only a few tables so getting inside can be difficult but if you plan right it's well worth the effort. read more

One of my favorite spots in the city! Writing this review a few months late so I don't remember the dishes, but it's by far one of the best priced tasting menus I've had. I was told that the dishes (starter, entree, dessert) rotate based on seasonal produce, while the arepa remains an unchanged menu staple. Unlike other tasting menus in the city, I feel like the portion sizes here were filling and made for a really hearty meal. Everything is super flavorful, and I like the variety that the chefs offer with the four courses. The inside only seats 12, so I would highly recommend making reservations. It's an intimate space with bar seating, so it really allows for great conversations with both the chefs and with whoever you bring. My friend and I chose the bar seating, and we got to speak with the two chefs who shared their thought processes with their recipes while cooking, and I really appreciate the thoughtfulness that goes into their menu and that they're mindful of shopping locally. I love the people, the food, and the ambiance here, and would easily recommend it to anyone who's looking to have a great tasting menu experience. read more

So good! We were lucky enough to secure a reservation to celebrate a birthday. Mr Pollo is a small restaurant that has ~6 tables and some bar seating so not meant for large group celebrations. Because of that, it's a pretty intimate experience. Mr Pollo switches up their menu ~1 a week depending on what's in season. When we went, we had a delicious green bean salad, arepa, and a lamb tajine (main). Every item was very delicious. Can't wait to come back next time. Definitely make a reservation since their space is so small. read more

Reservation needed. It's so funny because it actually doesn't look like much but is extremely delightful. It's small on the inside and there's a few tables and one bar (highly recommend going early enough to get the bar) to chat with the chef. Went with a friend on a table for two and the meal included a pumpkin and parmesan soup, a pulled pork arepa, steak with cauliflower puree, and an upside down apple tart with cinnamon whipped cream. all extremely delicious, such a fantastic use of a tasting menu, and just good vibes overall. the ambience feels right, intimate and cozy, with a good speaker to have good vibes. highly highly recommend and such a great deal for the price. read more

10/10 experience. The quality of food you get for the price is unheard of in SF. The restaurant is small, and there are 2 seatings a night. The small feel is awesome. My friend and I sat at the bar (which is the best seat in the place IMO) and got to chat with the chef and watch him cook. All of the food we had was AMAZING. If reservations weren't so hard to get, I would be here every weekend. read more

Such a unique spot that makes for the perfect date night! It is reservations only so keep an eye out on Resy for when spots open up for this place. Came here on a Wednesday night and the service here is always great! It was my second time coming here with my boyfriend and because this place only seats 12 people it's definitely a more intimate setting. We both ordered a glass of wine and it's always exciting to see what you'll be served here! You don't know what you'll get until they bring it to you but that's part of the experience. The food quality is fresh and we had the green bean salad, chicken arepa, pork loin, and ended the night with an apple cake. Great food and a super fun experience! read more

Amazing. A-maz-ing!! AMAZING. Did I mention this place is amazing? I don't need to write anything except "amazing." Rotating tasting menu. 4 courses, whatever they're making that day. Super fun. The one constant is the second course is always an arepa, as a nod to the previous Latin America restaurant that occupied that space for generations. Last night, we enjoyed a green bean salad, arepa with the BEST chorizo I have had on this side of the Atlantic and a lamb shank that was cooked to perfection, tender and flavorful. Amazing meal, amazing service, super cozy place, reservations available through Resy. Booked out, like 2-3 weeks. read more

Treated a friend here for her birthday. I think I became her favorite person of the evening!! She loved everything about it and so did I. Opened the door and there was this special space for only 12 guests and two restaurant people. Greeted and seated right away. Service was so timely and smooth. Enjoyed looking around for the paintings, decorative pollo objects, and the chef's cooking and plating. Every bite I had was so good that I didn't want this meal to end. I guess I'll have to return for more and hope that'll be soon!! read more

Wow one of the best dining experiences I've had in SF! We were lucky enough to snag a last minute cancellation by looking on Resy the week of but this place only has 12 seats and two seatings a night and Resy reservations open 10 days in advance so set those alarms! We got to sit at the counter which I highly recommend because we could see the chef cook and also talk to him about the dishes and ingredients. He uses seasonal ingredients and experiments with new ingredients in his dishes (he picked a vegetable I've never heard about and used it in the arepa to add crunch and flavor). The meal was 4 courses for $45 a steal in SF. And we were full by the end of it. They change their menu every few weeks. First course was a croquet that was crunchy on the outside and gooey on the inside but also light and filled with flavor, second course was an arepa (I think this was my fave) the pork was so tender and it had melty cheese, avo and the pickled vegetable that came together as the perfect bite Third course was quail! Wrapped in prosciutto! I was surprised it didn't have a lot of mini bones like quality usually has but the chef mentioned he did something to it so that it only has two main bones it in which was nice. Served over veggies and risotto Fourth course was kumquat pana cotta with pistachios. Another season fruit used in the meal. Refreshing and not too sweet and the pistachios added a nice crunch. Inside was small and intimate. Dimly lit. Service was great, there's only one server and he did an excellent job taking care of everyone. Hope to be back and try when they change the menu. Can't recommend this place enough. read more

Last night I came for my second visit in two months. It is incredible. It is possibly my favorite restaurant in San Francisco as a local that has lived in the Bay Area for over 20+ years. They change the menu regularly and it is a set 4-course tasting meal for $49/person. They have a wide array of wine, beer, and non-alcoholic drinks to go with the meal (all reasonably priced). The team behind Mr Pollo makes the experience for me. The chef is able to talk at length about his culinary experience and thought process behind each course. All ingredients are sourced locally by him. Overall, though it is a small space with 12 seats, it makes the dining experience feel homey because of how warm the Mr Pollo team is. I recommend making a reservation 2 weeks in advance. I can't wait to be back. read more

Overall it was a good experience, liked the food, its flavors and consistency. Salmon and appetizers tasted good. Apple cake was just ok., It's a small place, with simple food that tastes pretty good. Servive was satisfactory. read more

Super cool and intimate dining experience at a great price. They do the seating in batches so everyone starts and finishes their meal at around the same time. Because it's such a small space (I believe 5 parties on the night we went) the reservations go quick. Be sure to plan ahead and make a reservation! The menu rotates but always features an arepa. We got a jackfruit arepa. read more

I first learned about this place from SFGate, a 45 dollar 4 course tasting? I thought it was too good to be true so I had to check it out. You can book a spot via resy, that's the easy part but finding an actual opening requires dedication and constant checking but it was worth it. I've arrived with a group of 5 for dinner. the outside is rather discreet, covered with black curtains, but the inside was warm and lovely. The restaurant is small and ran by two people the chef and waiter, who were both friendly and amicable. The food itself was spectacular and enjoyable. We started off with an invigorating buckwheat beef soup appetizer, followed by the restaurant's signature Arepas. After that our spirits were warmed by a wonderful braised lamb, paired with seasonal ingredients and we finished the night with a most joyous Earl Grey Pannacotta! The whole experience was worth 45, and it's worth bringing family, or a date if you wish to impress them without hurting your wallet too badly. Will come again! read more

This place came highly recommended by a friend and it did NOT disappoint! We loved the food variations here and all the different flavors. The owners were so welcoming and kind and chatty which was wholesome and made the experience more personal. The restaurant is small so it feels intimate - you can easily see the chef making each course! I know they change their menu all the time and you never really know what you're getting, but that's the fun of it. It's tough if you have various food allergies, but definitely make them aware of that in the very beginning or even when you make the booking. Will certainly be coming back and hopefully with friends! read more

We were lucky to visit Mr Pollo during the reopening after it was shuttered for almost 2 years. I don't know why this place hadn't been on our radar before, but it is now and it should be on yours (make a reservation). There aren't many places in the Bay Area with a reasonably priced well-executed four course menu in a cozy (like 10ish people in an apartment cozy) setting with amazing chef Graham and friendly owner Will. It felt a little like being invited into a chef's home, except the kitchen has more stainless steel than your home kitchen. We also had a lovely wine pairing with the meal. The menu rotates regularly, inspired by different cuisines and influenced by seasonality. The one staple, and deservedly so, is the much lauded chicken arepa. Crisped on the outside with a moist and flavorful chicken filling. Our menu this evening consisted of flavors of the season - a spiced beef consommé with chestnut purée and cherry, a lovely duck breast dish, and a spiced cake for dessert. Every dish was well thought out in terms of flavors and textures. Mr Pollo is definitely on my list of unique Bay Area dining experiences to recommend. read more

So worth the reservation and the long anticipated wait to try Mr. Pollo. This place is a true SF gem and I loved every minute of my time here. Just to level set - the space is tiny. It sits 12 people comfortably, but if you wanted to reserve the entire place to accommodate a larger party that is also an option. It's 4 courses for $45, drinks range anywhere from 13 a glass to 60/70 for a bottle of wine. Really affordable for a nice dinner and night out to celebrate a special occasion. You are warmly welcomed by the owner and server, and the ambiance is really intimate but does not feel stuffy. The meal was delightful - the chocolate mousse with fig brandy left me speechless. Arepa is a staple on the menu, and truly chef's kiss. Loved my experience here, and the best part is that I didn't leave hungry after a tasting menu! Must try in SF :) read more

Hands down my favorite restaurant experience in SF. The tiny space and personal experience really make it feel like dining at a friends house (if I had any friends who were professional chefs). This is the best bang for your buck experience. It feels like it should be at least $60/person but it's actually only around $40 and includes a 4 course meal that changes regularly and is inspired by whatever is in season at local farmers markets (or the Chef's mom's garden ) Unfortunately and fortunately the restaurant is not accepting new reservations for a while because the chef is on paternity leave ! I'm waiting for them to open again because I can't wait to come back! read more

We had a great time at Mr Pollo! This was my first time going to a fine dining restaurant and it did not disappoint. All four courses were delicious, my favorite one was the main course, which was a pork shoulder on top of sweet corn and peppers. The appetizer was also really good, with the halibut and the yellow watermelon. Since the restaurant was so small, it felt like we were getting really good service. We sat on the bar thing and were able to talk to the chef and watch him cook. There were curtains blocking the window, that made it nice and dark. Overall, the food was incredible! I would definitely recommend it if you can get a reservation. read more

This place is an absolute gem. We sat at the bar and the chef was super friendly. More importantly the food was amazing and 4 courses for $49 is an insane value! Just go. read more

Pretty much spent the whole time watching the skilled and talented chef at work and wolfing down every course in record time. And I'm normally a very slow eater. Am already dreaming of the next time we get to come here. The asparagus and prosciutto and pesto: if in a public restaurant I could have licked my plate clean of every bit of the freshest and most amazing pesto I've ever had, without anyone noticing, I would have. This is coming from someone who normally never orders anything with pesto in it. Also the asparagus was very fresh and cooked to the perfect tenderness with just enough seasoning to bring out its natural sweetness. Arepa (pork): this was AMAZING. That's the best word to describe it. Duck atop orzo and greens: duck was tender and skin was crisp and savory. Loved the healthy greens with orzo and I think shaved Parmesan (not sure if that is accurate on the kind of cheese it was). Cherry upside-down cake with dollop of fresh whipped cream: you just have to look at the picture. Yummm. read more

Made it back here 6 years later and it's as good or even better as I remember. Ambiance: intimate and cozy - seats about 10 since this place use to be an Arepas shop. Food: Excellent. A three-course meal sourced with local ingredients. The joy of coming here is to be surprised with what the chef decides to put on the menu. The meal always comes with an Arepa to pay homage to the storefront's origins. Everything was good, but I enjoyed this and the dessert the most. Service: Great and friendly. Ask for what alcohol pairing goes best with the meal. read more

The mission's best-kept secret behind blackout curtains. Mr.Pollo is a 200 sq ft micro restaurant. Lack intimacy? no worries, you've come to the right place. I highly recommend sitting right at the bar because you get to interact with chef Gram and see how your 4-course euro/Italian fusion dishes are prepped. For the first course, we got focaccia over a bed of tomato salad. The second course and possibly my favorite are the chicken arepas. It's like a stuffed and grilled sandwich. Instead of bread, the dough is made ground maize. For the third course, I was ecstatic to see fresh squid getting grilled on the stovetop. Last but not least we finished up our night with plum curd tart with fresh cream. Chef Gram uses everything that's in season and the menu is on rotation. I left the restaurant feeling stuffed and overly satisfied now that I found this place. Definitely can't wait to come back in a couple of weeks! Go check out the reel I posted for Mr.Pollo over @matcha.kitten read more

Was recommended this restaurant by a colleague & had pretty high expectations coming in. Let me tell you, I was NOT disappointed!! All four courses tasted so good! The appetizer and arepa were definitely my favorite. The appetizer was perfectly crisp and the inside was creamy. It was a nice mix of texture. The breading for the arepa was honestly crazy good (the filling as well). The chicken (3rd course) was also good but I think I personally wasn't a big fan of the tangy-ness of it. I really liked how they cooked the vegetables though. Realy liked the ambiance. The space was small but it did not feel cramped at all - it was pretty well spaced out. I also liked the limited amount of seating, since it made it feel very intimate. The server/owner was nice and attentive. He gave us the backstory of the restaurant, so that was pretty cool to hear. read more

Worth the reservation and the wait! Tiny restaurant, barely noticeable from the outside. Inside is quaint with just enough seats for a few small groups. It's a 4-course meal and I enjoyed everything that was served. We started with beef pumpkin soup, had the arepa next (which was absolutely delicious), had a pork loin entree, and finished with rice pudding for dessert. It was a very pleasant experience and service was great. read more

Loved loved loved our experience here. I came here for the first time with my boyfriend as we wanted to try a new spot. We made a reservation for ourselves a couple weeks out and since we arrived a bit early on the day, got to pick the only seats at the bar. The inside of the restaurant is tiny, sitting maybe only 12 at most. Very cute and intimate. We were lucky to be able to chat with the chef, Graham, as he prepared everything for our 4-course meal. Everything was absolutely delicious and well balanced. We spoke about how the chef picks out seasonal ingredients from the farmers market every week to prepare for the meals. Everything was seasonal, fresh, and very tasty. I found myself licking the plate after each course. We had wine as well and very much enjoyed our meal. It was also an incredible value for the price fixie menu as well. I would honestly say this is one of my top 2 restaurants in SF I've been to. Can't wait to come back! read more

Super disappointed, made a reservation early after seeing great reviews and some even comparing the food to higher priced tasting menus. It doesn't come close and if you're looking for a more elevated experience this place is not that. The setting was fine, I don't mind a hole in the wall feeling but it would have been nice if the chef or waiter would preface each dish since each table is being served at the same time. There's no thought or care in the dining experience, it just feels like you're going over to your awkward friend's house for a meal. The dishes served were: A tomato chickpea salad which was probably the best tasting dish but overall not super impressive, felt like I could make this at home if I really tried. Half an arepa, super salty and I've had better arepas from mom and pop Venezuelan restaurants at half the price and double the portion. Beans, sausage and bread? This was like elevated medieval peasant food. I honestly checked out at this point lmao. Rice pudding and figs for dessert, a sugary mess of a dish. Each element was overly sweet that the whole dish ended up blending into one unpleasant sugar bomb. Overall, good concept but disappointing execution. read more

Will and Graham thank you for the hospitality at your beautiful restaurant. I have been here twice and already thinking about booking the entire place for my birthday. The menu changes every single time and that is what makes this place magical. I can't even begin to tell you the things I've tried. From octopus stew, to their famous Arepas, to the delicious different kinds of deserts I've had. Please book a reservation and get there on time. This isn't meant for large groups as they can only sit 12 people in total. I sit right in front where I can see the Chef cook as that is what gives me the full experience. I can't wait to come back and try something new. Yummylicious is one way to describe this place. read more

I had a lovely dinner at Mr. Pollo. The4 courses were filling and satisfying with great flavor diversity. Course 1: Artichoke purée with house cured olives (raw olives bought at farmer's market) . The focaccia bread is house made using a 200 yr old sourdough starter the chef brought back from Italy while traveling. Fun fact: the starter is from the same town the chef's Grandmother is from -Ascoli Piceno Course 2: Pork arepa with farmer's market avocados, pickled onions and cojita (sp?) cheese Course 3: A generous portion of spring veggie risotto. The asparagus was cooked to perfection. It also had green garlic and peas also from the farmer's market. Course 4: Fig leaf panna cotta. When fig leaves are cooked they give off a slight coconut aroma and flavor. The flavor of this pan scotta was subtle yet satisfying and the texture was PERFECT! I love that the chef gets his produce from the Farmer's market as much as he can and sources ingredients locally. I even heard that sometimes he forages his own ingredients when he notices something that he can use. This is a great spot and if you're looking for affordable good food I highly recommend you visit mr. Pollo read more

Mr Pollo - Veg soup - New American Near Me - San Francisco, California

I've been waiting to check out Mr. Pollo for years. I just happened to see that they had just recently reopened and quickly booked a reservation for their 8pm seating. I'm super glad that I got the reservation- this was the best experience that I've ever had at a restaurant. The food, atmosphere, intimacy and the overall experience made for a dinner than I will not forget. Mr. Pollo is reservations only (12 seats available) with 2 seatings per night, one at 6pm and one at 8pm. Each meal is a prix fixe 4 course meal for $40 and you likely won't know what you'll be eating until Will (the owner/gm) serves your plates. Course 1: Spiced beef soup with chestnut puree and amarino cherry. The essence of the holidays embodied in a soup. I can't say that I've ever had anything like it before. The chestnut puree was rich and creamy and paired well with the spiced beef broth. The biggest surprise, however, was the cherry. When Will first mentioned there was a cherry in the broth, I was quite skeptical.. cherries in beef broth? But man, it was shockingly good lol. I don't know how the pairing worked so well, but man, they complemented each other perfectly. Course 2: Chicken Arepa. A callback to the origins of the restaurant's namesake, this sandwich had a crispy exterior while the chicken and cheese filling was flavorful. I do wish there was a bit more sauce, but that's my preference (I tend to use more sauce than most lol). Overall this was a great chicken sandwich. Course 3: Braised duck with melted leeks, kale and roasted sunchokes. This was the showstopper. By far this was the best duck that I've ever eaten. The duck was braised perfectly and the meat fell right off the bone. The fat was rendered out leaving the melty skin and soft cartilage in addition to the meat. I don't particularly enjoy eating duck skin or cartilage/tendon, but I absolutely cleaned the bone on this duck leg. I can't stress enough how good this dish was. The leeks paired very well with the kale and duck, and the sunchokes were a unique starch. I'd never eaten them before and was excited to learn that they were sunflower roots. I was so disappointed when I had finished eating this dish, it was delicious. Course 4: Persimmon cake with fresh whipped cream and caramelized honey. I took a bite of this cake and laughed. It was indescribably good. I've been lucky enough to eat a fair amount of persimmon cake in my time, but this one was head and shoulders above any other one that I had tried before. Definitely could have eaten 3 more of these lol. I'm still shocked that it was as good as it was. This was also one of the best desserts that I've ever had. Though the food was amazing, the uniqueness of the experience comes from the identity of the restaurant itself. The kitchen is open, right by where all of the diners sit and you can watch Graham prepare each course that is served. Conversation with both will and Graham is welcomed and encouraged, and only adds to the intimacy of the dining experience. Graham and Will are both pleasures to talk with. From discussions around food to sports to cooking, it was the most unique (and unforgettable) experience that I'd ever had with the staff at a restaurant. Graham gave me some suggestions for my attempts to bake at home and was insistent that others try and cook and experiment with food in the same way that he's able to under the Mr. Pollo concept. If you're looking for good food, an unforgettable restaurant experience, somebody to talk about cooking with, or just a regular dinner, I would wholeheartedly recommend going to Mr. Pollo. Just make sure to make a reservation first :) I'll be back next time I'm in the city, ready to try whatever Chef Graham has concocted for dinner that day. Happy eating! read more

I did not know what I was expecting when I first came here, as they do not post the menu anywhere. However, we were pleasantly surprised by how intimate the experience is of such a small restaurant, and being so close to the chef so we could watch him cook. The first course was a green and white bean (long bean) salad which was super delicious and not too light for a salad course. The next course, the arepa, was super delicious and had pork, avocado, and pickled red onions. Meat was super tender and juicy and arepa overall was 11/10. The entree was salmon on a bed of corn and tomatoes, and it was also super flavourful and a pretty good size portion. The dessert was a peach upside down cake and was served with cinnamon whipped cream, which elevated the flavours and finished off the meal really well. Overall, Mr.Pollo is a super great and reasonably priced dinner experience in the mission. The two guys that run the place are really great and accommodating, and definitely have one of the best prix fixe dinners in the area. Make sure to get a reservation because seats are very limited! read more

What a unique dining experience! We were able to secure a reservation the first week of grand reopening - New Year's Eve at that! This place is a total gem - $40 for a four course menu in an intimate dining setting. There are only 12 seats per seating, 2 seatings a night. It's in a discreet location on mission - totally would not have known from the outside! This was a former Columbian restaurant, hence the name "Mr Pollo." We were welcomed warmly by Will and new chef Graham at 6pm for our reservation and seated at the counter so we get to see every aspect of the cooking action! Chef Graham was a joy to chat with and it was so amazing to see him in action. The decor is also really cool - some really awesome artwork on that wall! The food was nothing short of amazing - everything was delicious. The flavors all blended so well together! And chef Graham is quite a food history buff - learned so much from this dinner! All the ingredients were sourced from local farmers market. First course: spiced beef broth with cherry and chestnut purée - super unique and complex flavors Second course: chicken arepa - an homage to the columbian restaurant that used to be in this location, delicious Third course: braised duck with leek, sunchokes and sautéed kale - amazing fall of the bone duck with the most amazing sauce; per the chef this is a 2nd century Roman recipe, sooooo good Fourth course: persimmon caramel cake with fresh cream - great end to the meal, not too sweet and satisfying The menu changes based on what is in season and what the chef finds at the local markets - cannot wait to come back again! Highly recommended! read more

Getting a reservation here can be difficult so make sure you plan in advance! We were able to pick up a table for 2 at our desired about a month in advance. The anticipation was driving us nuts and we couldn't wait to finally check out mr pollo which has been bookmarked for years! They have multiple seatings. We attended the first one. Super small spot. Definitely everything you think the mission would be. A couple spots up on the counter to be super intimate with the chef. Everyone gets their food at the same time. Prix fixe menu - 4 courses for such an amazing deal. Everything changes depending upon ingredients except for course 2, the arepa...I'll get back to that. Course 1: Heirloom tomato salad. Solid, fresh, seasoned, delish. Course 2: The infamous arepa. Best arepa in SF. You see the chef making it from start to finish. Perfection. But wait, there's more. Course 3: Hamachi with elote. Yum. Course 4: Cucumber ice cream with watermelon. Refreshing. Great way to end our meal. A must try in the city. Don't expect glamour and white glove service. This is perfection in a small spot in the mission. read more
