One of my favorite spots for authentic Nicaraguan food in San Francisco. I usually come for the knockout nacatamales and the Maria Elena plate, but today I needed something comforting and ordered the albóndigas soup. It was exactly what I needed -- rich, flavorful broth with big chunks of vegetables that make it feel hearty and nourishing. The food is always fresh, the staff was so nice, and the place has a cozy, authentic Nicaraguan neighborhood vibe. Portions are generous and the prices are very reasonable for San Francisco. Bottom line: the albóndigas soup is a must if you're looking for comforting homemade food. read more

This was my first time trying Nicaraguan food and honestly, it was really good. I got beef tongue, and it was very tender and flavorful. My favorite part was the plantain. The portion was big for the price. I would definitely come back. read more

Oye Managua - Latin American Near Me - San Francisco, California

Reviewing this restaurant to support Latin Heritage Month! Recently browsing for food and came across Oye Managua and I'm like oh yeah, let's eat! We tried: * Steamed Cooked Boneless Brisket, Yuca, & Plantains (Baho con Arroz) $19.95 * comes with a side - Arroz & Frijoles $0.00 * Chia with Lemon (Chia Con Limon) $5.95 Boho is a traditional Nicaragua dish of meat, green plantains and yucca cooked in banana leaves. According to the internet, this originated from the mix of cultures between the indigenous, mestizos and Afro-Nicaraguans of the country. The food was good. The steamed cooked boneless brisket can be a tad bland and slightly hard (is it bc of delivery?), but it's helped with the repollo (cabbage slaw) and the encurtido (pickled veggies). We enjoyed the lemon drink with chia seeds. Having been to Managua, Nicaragua many years ago, I can say it brought back memories. We crossed the border on foot (tour bus and foot) at Penas Blancas. We got this meal delivered but the restaurant is: Oye Managua, located on Mission and Eugenia. read more

Sad to know that Las Tinajas has closed its door for good. I quickly needed to get my Nicoya fix, and so glad found this spot. The service is fast and portions are soooo big! Really feels like a family restaurant. read more

I've been here twice recently, and I'm happy to report about the great food, service, and ambiance. Restaurant is upper mission near 30th St and may look deceiving from the outside; once you step inside the restraraunt it is nothing fancy but the service people will welcome you and tell you to sit anywhere you like. The restaurant is clean and has a good amount of space. The servers were very nice and were prompt to come get our order as soon as we were ready. The food took about 12-15 minutes to get to us once it was ordered. They have the classic Nicaraguan dishes such as Nacatamales, queso Frito, gallo pinto, and baho. Indio Viejo, Vigoron, and many drinks options. Such a s, Cacao, Tamarindo, Cenada and beer/wine. The food taste delicious. read more

We just got food to go - a special version of Gallo Pinto made without lard - and I loved the vibe inside. It was Thanksgiving, but this place feels like a vibe all the time. The ambience was family-oriented and futbol friendly for all things Nicaragua! read more

Oye Managua used to be really tasty fresh Nicaraguan food, unfortunately tonight I was very disappointed in the quality, taste and aspect of the food. I don't think it matches what Nicaragüense food is supposed to taste like. The service when you come in is always delayed or if you are picking up, you are not greeted and have to make such an effort to get their attention (most of the time they are just talking amongst themselves at the front counter). Overall they've declined in both aspects and hopefully they will work to get better, as one of the few spots in the city of Nicaraguan food. read more

I've been coming here for an over 10 years but this place has gone down hill. Extremely disappointing experience. We waited over 30 minutes for our food, and when I politely asked the waitress for an update, I was met with an eye roll -- not an apology, not an explanation. She was inattentive and rude throughout the meal, only managing a smile when she handed us the bill. To make things worse, she informed us of an extra charge for using a card and automatically added gratuity for our party of five -- which I've never seen done before. Then she had the nerve to ask if we wanted to leave an additional tip. Seriously? As for the food? Completely bland and forgettable. The service? Even worse. Definitely won't be returning. I discovered El Rinconcito recently and is now my go to place for Nicoya food. read more

I'm very disappointed with this Restaurant the food is very salty, I ordered a beef soup Saturday and didn't have all the vegetables a Nicaraguan soup add, they only added small carrot, a tiny corn, tiny meat and that was it ( did not add yuca, zucchini, quequisque etc) its not worth it ordering from OYE MANAGUA the worst place food is garbage. read more

The place was so comforting! The food was amazing. I don't consider it overpriced since the food portions are HUGE. This was so authentic, home-y, the service was nice. Our waitress was responsive, quick, food came out quick. You can go up to the counter and ask for a place to sit. It was packed & I see why, I would recommend this 10/10! read more

My cuñado brought the family here so we could experience Nicaraguan food , and we had plenty of food to try, fun and family friendly vibrant vibe. Churrasco with that green sauce The buñelos Pollo plancha Chicha de maiz Rice & beans Fried cheese If I lived closer, I would've been back by now! The flavor was so good! 12 of us total and they had tables ready for our reservation. The staff was super friendly and patient as we worked out what to order , and how much. Looking around the restaurant, there's Nicaraguan decorations, very colorful in a charming way. Then food came out quickly , we're all picking at each other plates because we're all trying something new. The fried cheese was extra popular, as well as the buñelos. We noticed the tastes on the meats were flavorful and less emphasis on the spicy. There's also a little tienda for souvenirs; we picked up a couple handmade baby dresses for my niece, embroidered handwoven cloths, and flor de caña rum. I'm excited to get back here and try some more! Definitely recommend! read more

Not the best service, i got the maría elena and my queso frito was not fried lol. not sure what that was about but for the price of the plate and cheese in general i would hope it would be fried especially if that's what your advertising on the description of the meal. i wasn't impressed unfortunately. Hopeful for a better experience. read more

I love Nicaraguan food! I'm Nicaraguan so it's always nice to go somewhere that reminds you of the food growing up. I hadn't eaten at a Nicaraguan restaurant in a long time and finally decided to try this place out. We got the Especial Maria Elena and Indio Viejo. My mom used to make indio viejo and it had been a long time since I had eaten it. The service was great. They were BUSY on a Sunday but we didn't have to wait too long. We started with chicha and cacao (so good!), and then our orders were taken. The Maria Elena dish comes with beef, pork, gallo pinto (rice/beans), salad, plantains and fried cheese (the best!!). This was all good. The pork was a little tough but still very flavorful. The gallo pinto was definitely fresh. The indio viejo was very good as well! I could see the fresh mint leaves and the porridge was so flavorful. I loved how this paired with the rice/beans. This also comes with those fixings on the side. Overall, service was great. I know it had changed a lot throughout the years but this was a great experience--it's improved! Yes, some of the portions may be a bit smaller, but I think that this has happened across many restaurants because of inflation. Breakfast prices are pretty good--I'll have to check out those dishes. Cash only! read more

I am nica ai I am skeptical of nica restaurants. But I was quite surprised that the 2 dishes we chose were tasty and good and not salty. If you have ever made nacatamles you know it's labor intensive. I was quite surprised theirs had good flavor and not overly greasy. The bistec encebollado was a large plate and taste just like we make it at home. The meat could have been a bit tender but overall quite good. The prices I felt were very reasonable especially for the nacatamal. Service was fast and friendly. I liked that they let the saxophonist come and play for tips. It made it feel more inviting. Indefinitely will be back to try other items like el Indio viejo or el baho. read more

This spot was cute. Parking is horrible but we got lucky. Waiter was sweet and recommended a plate to share. The Maria Elena. I don't eat pork so he substituted for chicken. Gallo pinto was the best thing on the plate. It was warm not hot. Fried cheese was cold and hard. Chicken was good. The waiter was kind and friendly. read more

Horrible horrible horrible - the portions are insane. They literally gave me the thinnest queso frito and barely any meat. Mind you the plate isn't cheap either. As Nicaraguan myself, this is sad and embarrassing. Do better. People weren't lying when they said this is the WORST place to get Nicaraguan food. SE PASAN DE VERGA. read more

Food is delicious but this place got my grandma sick with the soup and another time the Bajo. I'm really not sure if they are holding on to food past its expiration date. I just want to say proceed with caution when you order here. read more

Growing up in San Francisco, and being raised by two parents from Nicaragua this place was on my list to visit while in town. Same location 30th & Mission. Metered street parking, plenty of public transportation (MUNI). As soon as you walk in, you feel the vibrancy of the culture. We were seated promptly, placed our drink, orders, and menus are right there at the table under the glass kind of a cool concept. There was four of us and we ordered four different meals so that we could each try a little bit of all of it and it's just like my grandparents and parents used to prepare, absolutely delicious. if you pay by credit card they do charge 10% for the credit card fee. I paid in cash. I was happy to buy a few souvenirs to bring back to Texas. Of course you always want to take home a couple of those Nacatamales to eat at a later date. I have even frozen them and they're just as good. Just make sure you don't microwave them and follow a recipe where you boil them in water on the stove. Our waiter spoke only Spanish, but luckily I am bilingual. Make sure if you're going to split the bill to tell them beforehand, because that got a little messy at the end. We all made it work! You definitely get your moneys worth in regards to amount of food that is served. I took half of mine home as everyone else did as well. read more

The food at Oye Managua rarely disappoints, and I've been coming here since I was an infant. I've always enjoyed the food, and the small yet cozy atmosphere. Service is always really efficient, and we've never had any issues with it. The only issues I've personally found with Oye Managua is the portion sizes. No matter what you order, I feel like the amount of food you receive is always overwhelming, and I never found myself finishing everything I'm given. But in contrast, the food is always excellent. The Filete a la Jalepeña is my favorite item on the menu, personally. read more

Rudest people ever, they lack costumer service or even common curtesy. The place also smells like pee and is dirty.

I came here and ordered a plate of salpicón. And honestly this is not Nicaraguan food. They don't know the delicious original food of Nicaragua. They need to add the Nicaraguan flavor to it so that it tastes like Nicaraguan food. The salad was not authentic. They gave me a lettuce with ranch and not to mention the rice and salpicón without salt and very dry. I love Nicaraguan food but I couldn't eat this one. Vine aquí y pido un plato de salpicón. Y sinceramente esto no es comida nicaragüense. No sabe a la deliciosa comida original de Nicaragua. Les falta ponerle el sabor nicaragüense para que sepa a comida de Nicaragua. La ensalada no era auténtica. Me dieron una lechuga con ranch y no se diga el arroz y salpicón sin sal y bien seco . Me encanta la comida nicaragüense pero esta no pude comerla. read more

Food is amazing. Quick service and flavors are amazing. Been a long time family favorite

Platillo muy completo. Pero ahí va mi Review. El salpicón está simple, sin limón y muy entero. El arroz sabe a recalentado. Los plátanos y el queso estaban bien. Debido a que el lugar está ocupado la mesera rara vez checo en nosotros y entiendo ya que solo habían dos. No me preguntaron si iba a querer más fresco ni tampoco tuve servilletas extras para secar la mesa. La música demasiado alta en conclusión, el lugar era mejor anteriormente y es una lástima que después de ser uno de los restaurantes nicaragüense mas populares su servicio esté decreciendo y talvez no es culpa de los trabajadores sino de la persona enfrente del negocio. read more
