“Toda la comida es deliciosa y saludable, el personal muy amable y rápidos, muy recomendable para comer en ese lugar, regreso siempre!“

“The fish tacos were really good, one of the best I've ever had“

“We have felt lucky to live within walking distance of Casa Latina. Tonight I put in a phone order, as I have many times and the order was taken carelessly and messed up (Baja fish taco, not fish taco), so when I got home, I had to drive back up and have the meal remade, and then it was just not good. Tortillas were weirdly dry and the fish was overcooked (like, fried to the color of coffee grounds). A great neighborhood place on Fridays, will probably skip it on Mondays.“

“Great lunch and good friends!“

“We reserved a party of 13 at Bocanova for Mother's Day to celebrate my mom, aunt and grandmother.we were seated in their beautiful main dining room and I have to say that for such a difficult day for restaurants the execution was flawless. The food was delicious, we started with the empanadas, beef, shrimp and mushroom, their Peruvian classic ceviche as well as brussel sprouts and cauliflower and they were all delicious. We followed with almost one of each for main courses and we all just shared, standouts were the Lomo Saltado, whole branzino, seared scallops, Brazilian moqueca and chicken a la brasa. We're all still talking about the food, service and ambiance. What a great experience, thank you Bocanova and entire team for such a memorable dining experience, you can tell that they work as a team and it shows! Can't wait to go back.“

“Exelente lugar me encantó“

“Delicious and great for parties! Always a big hit with adults & kids. Thank you Erica for another great order!“

“Awesome experience and great food.“

“We had two events here recently and it was a wonderful experience. The staff was great to work with, the owner and his wife were both there to make sure everything went smoothly. Their event manager was great to work with and it was a very streamlined process. The food was excellent, drinks were great, and the restaurant had fun decor. We received so many compliments on the venue and food from our attendees. We will definitely be going back for future events.“

“First time here….Mexican sandwich with carnitas… OMG so delicious“

“la mejor barbacoa excelente consomé muy rico“

“I had such a great experience at La Esquinita and will absolutely be back.

We went for Taco Tuesday and the deal is hard to beat—2 tacos (your choice), a side, and a drink for $12.99. I got the poblano and yam tacos, half rice/half whole beans, and a horchata (that I gave to my husband) and my husband ordered a chicken burrito. Even after leaving a 20% tip, it came out to under $20 per person, which feels like an incredible value for the quality.

The staff was super friendly, and while the space is tiny, we were able to grab a cozy seat at the window which made it even more enjoyable.

The food was fresh and really flavorful. One standout for me was their red salsa—it actually had some heat without that overpowering vinegar taste you sometimes get, which I really appreciated.

Highly recommend checking them out, especially on Taco Tuesday. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to again and again.“

“An incredible dining experience from start to finish. The chips and salsa feature a unique, intriguing flavor that is absolutely delicious, and the carne asada fajitas were flawless. The staff clearly pours a lot of love, skill, and passion into their food.“

“Wide variety of Peruvian treats especially fried plantains and pisco chilcanos“

“Enjoy the atmosphere and the tasty food !“

“Great Food, Great Service“

“Came here for dinner. This is a Peruvian restaurant, and the menu does the classics: empanadas, anticuchos, lomo saltado, pollo a la brasa, the whole rotisserie chicken program.

The cocktails were good. We started with the empanadas, which had a lot of flavor packed into them, well seasoned, not just a pastry shell with filler. The pollo chicharrones (deep fried chicken nuggets, basically) were also solid, crispy exterior, juicy inside, properly seasoned rather than relying on dipping sauce to do the work.

For my main I got the lomo saltado. The beef was cubed and tender, and the brown sauce had real depth to it, savory without being one-note. Everything I ordered was well prepared, no notes, no surprises, just good execution across the board.
The vibe inside is laid back and a little goofy in a good way. The floor is covered in astroturf, there are decorative butterflies all over the walls (fitting, given the name), and they had the World Cup playing. It's not trying to be a serious dining room, and it doesn't need to be.

Good food, good drinks, fun room. Would come back.“

“The food is sooooo good and delicious with a very nice ambiance and atmosphere in their patio dining ..“

“Wonderful food, great service and we enjoyed it very much.“

“La Guatemalteca offers box delivery to Central America. A few friends report their delivery services as reliable. The retail store is very small but whimsical. There are many household food items that are used in Guatemala such as salsa, ketchup, and hygiene products. I enjoy visiting“

“It was my first time going there. My family and I ate some tasty pupusas. I got loroco con queso and they got frijol con queso. They were a pretty decent size and they were good. They also have tables and chairs for you to eat there. Reasonable prices.“

“This place has been one of my favorites since I came but this last time I went it was not pleasant as always we ordered some enchiladas chapinas and they were older and harder I couldn't even get my teeth into the tortillas then the curtido smelled ruined l3 I said to the waitress and she didn't like my comment the yevo were the tortillas and the same chuco tanned they put them we ordered some corn tamales anyway ☹️ they were very hard and I say this seriously because I am a cook and one knows when things are not fresh that Don't mind if comments are made, it's for improvement, it's not for anyone to be ill-intentioned. If I put my business up, I'd like my clients to tell me if they don't like something.“

“Everything is fire and on point. First stop after dropping off the luggage’s at the hotel. Worth the little 20min drive. It’s ticked away in a chill part of the neighborhood , definitely a must stop for anyone that is a shrimp and mango lover.“

“1111 Solano is a new location for this restaurant. Previously near Craneway and before the pandemic in Point Richmond. Same chef, same staff, and same excellent food and service.“

“Heyy peeps......This place is amazing.......They got all different types of Guatemalan Food. I have been going to this place for about 10 years at least twice a month. Try out the steak plates. Parrillada Chapina, Mar y tierra & the churrasco Chapin. They all are big plates. Also the soups such as the beef soup or the chicken soup. Also they also got other varieties. The price is very reasonable.
Very recommended👌.“

“todo muy rico , las pupusas están muy ricas , y la botana es todo un manjar 100% recomendado y garantizado , tienen un excelente servicio y muy buena atención al cliente 👌💯“

“It is a small restaurant, but great in its quality, attention, service and its prices are very affordable, I recommend it for its breakfasts such as chilaquiles, eggs with chorizo ​​and eggs Benedict's, its sound is generally attentive to all its customers, because it has a large number of regular customers.“

“Mixiote is a hidden gem in San Francisco. I have eaten here more times than I can count, and the food is always delicious, consistent, and a great value. The staff and owner are also wonderful. I highly recommend the quesadilla or rice bowl with half chicken/half rajas con queso (my personal favorite).“

“Excellent costumer service love their drinks and happy hour. Food is delicious I recommend it to have drinks !“

“Pupusas are made fresh. Get your revueltas, or jalapeno y queso here. Takes 15 minutes or so to make so come ready. 2.50 for any pupusas. Tacos here are also delicious, comes with a lot of meat and very well flavored. 2.00 each. Horchata isn't super sweet which I like but cost 3.00 each.“

“I popped into Jalisco Méxican Food and had a really satisfying meal. The tacos and burritos I ordered were flavorful and felt genuinely Mexican — simple, hearty, and not overly fancy. The portions were generous for the price, and everything came out fresh with plenty of traditional toppings like salsa and lime.

The vibe is casual and laid-back, perfect for a relaxed lunch or quick dinner. It’s not a fancy sit-down spot, but the flavors and value definitely make it worth a stop if you’re craving solid Mexican comfort food. I’d go back for another round of tacos or to try some of their other classic dishes.“

“I love this place so much, great place to chill or work. Their Salvadoran horchata latte is so addictive (I have ordered nothing but it since I first went there), and if you happen to be there when Azukar has their food I highly recommend it!! Their wraps and empanadas are so flavorful and incredibly unique.“

“buena comida las pupusas una delicia“

“One community advocate. Great cause.“

“First time there…food and drinks amazing.. will definitely go back..👍🏽“

“I rarely post reviews but had to chime in as this was such an outstanding experience with Lima Peruvian! I catered an event in my home and the food arrived on time, piping hot, carefully marked for ingredients and allergens and was just so delicious. I received countless compliments and requests from guests to find out where the food came from. The order included a mix of meat, meatless and vegan offerings that really hit the spot. In particular, the Loma Saltado, Aji de Gallina (Creamy Yellow Chicken), Seco de Pollo (Green Herb Chicken), Vegan Split Pea Amarillo and rice were outstanding. Thank you Lima Peruvian!“

“Cashier super rude, Menu doesn't have prices on it.“

“Bengan mis queridos amigos no se van a repentir“

“I visited SF and I couldn't have eaten better than at Truly Food. The food is delicious and has very good presentation. The menu is varied and there are also desserts ?? without a doubt an excellent option if you also want to support Latin entrepreneurship. I would definitely visit again

Kid-friendliness: The asada and chicken tacos are excellent
Option! I have two small children who enjoyed them very much.“

“absolutely the best tamales I have ever had at a restaurant. I'd swear they were home made if I hadn't ordered them myself... super find!!! I'll never order from anywhere else again.“

“The best Chapin bread and that's it. I am Mexican and Mexican bread is very delicious but I like this bread better. In addition, Oakland is already getting its act together and is cleaning the streets of all the trash there is. So now the bakery is more accessible.“

“I eat here almost everyday for the past 5 years, and I still haven't tasted everything on the menu!!! =) so much to choose from . thumbs up!“
