I love this place! My parents and I have dined here multiple times and we always have a fantastic time! The service is amazing and the food is always delicious! I highly recommend ordering the molcajete and the quesabirrias - both are amazing!

Food here was a 6.5 not great but decent enough to comeback and try something different. Portion were ok except for the side dishes very small and over priced. Spent over $65 for 2 meals chips, salsa and guacamole. Too expensive for non authentic Mexican food that you can find better at a food truck for cheaper.

My west coast friends always tell me Mexican food is so much better in California. So when visiting San Francisco I asked our local friends to take us to a good Mexican restaurant. This place didn't disappoint. Definitely a huge difference than what I'm used to. The food was great and the guacamole and chips were delicious. The service was great also. The place is pretty small so if you have a party of more than four you'll be seated outside in their covered and heated section.

I have absolutely no complaints other than I wish this place was bigger to accommodate more people. The food was fresh, super good, and of good quantity. The waiter, Raul, kept checking on us and making sure we had a great time. Parking can be a bit tricky, but indoor and outdoor seating. Menu is on a QR code on the table. No matter what you get, it is really really good. I haven't had anything better than this. I highly recommend it! Went with two other friends.

Decent pricing and portion size. However taste wise the veggie enmoladas plate was kind of weird. The filling was good but the covering sauce was too sweet. Even the side salad had fruits in it. It was not suitable to my taste palate but maybe other dishes would be nicer. It would also help to have more vegetarian options on their menu.
