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

“Love this place, the food is fantastic, very much a taqueria. The Cameron’s taco are fantastic. Everyone that works there are really friendly, you can tell they like it there because it is the same faces.

They moved in and painted the place bright pink. They replaced another favorite that was not able to survive COVID.

If you get take out, check you got your chips, they love to leave those out of your bag. 5 stars if not for the many bags of missing chips.“

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

“This place is all about the food. Ignore the menu, it's just there to provide familiar options. Talk to your server. They'll find something for you that will delight. The decor is standard diner decor, it isn't the point. The seating looks like something from the 1950s, but again, the seating isn't the point. The food is the point, and the food is delightful.“

“Great Food, Great Service“

“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.“

“The restaurant's atmosphere is fantastic, the service is exceptional and the food is amazing. If you are looking for authentic Guatemalan food this is your place. From the music to the way the restaurant is accommodated, the always attentive and polite staff and the delicious food they serve; this is a place where you'd want to come back. If you are Latino, this is your place. Now don't get me wrong, I've seen people for various ethnics eating here and it's always satisfying to see how much they like the food.“

“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.“

“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.“

“One of the best Mexican meals I’ve had in SF—100% better than Chipotle, with all fresh ingredients. I highly recommend the noodle bowl and quinoa bowl. They’re only open from 11 AM to 2 PM, and I just wish they were open longer and on more days. A true hidden gem!“

“Enjoy the atmosphere and the tasty food !“

“$$$ Best place in the city for Brazilian style grilled meats. Lovely salad bar side dishes. Do not miss the grilled pineapple. Not inexpensive. Special occasion restaurant“

“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.“

“I love birrias tacos and I love chilaquiles, so I couldn't miss trying their birriaquiles. I got that and the horchata latte for breakfast. The birriaquiles were pretty good and the latte was alright but a bit too sweet for me.

Mostly docking stars here though since I'm not used to SF prices. The whole meal cost about $40 (including tip). I'm glad to have tried this place and the food was good, but I don't know if I'd pay $40 for this kinda meal again.“

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

“Stumbled across this gem about a year back with my best friend, and we recently came back JUST for the super burritos 🌯 😅 we live in sj but the drive was so worth it! The 1st time we stumbled across we didn't know it was cash ONLY so we had to share a burrito but this time we had brought enough cash with us!!!!! Go check it out you won't regret it!!!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Olivio’s is an underrated hidden gem in SF.

This is an authentic Salvadoran/Mexican spot tasty, affordable food and some beverages. It’s bare bones & and in the Tendernob area of the SF, which is a sketchy area but has some of the best food in the city. It seems most people order takeover or delivery. It doesn’t appear they offer dine-in options anymore as there’s always a sign outside saying “para llevar” aka to-go, but I’ll double check on this for accuracy .

I’m a fan of their bean & rice pupusas and complementary fermented cabbage salad called curtido. They have also yummy fried plantains. I also recommend their Salvadoran style Horchata. I look forward to try to their beef soup next time.

Their owner seems pleasant, humble, hard working and appreciative of business. If you don’t want to venture in the Tenderloin area, don’t let that stop you from trying Olivio’s, they are available for delivery on DoorDash! Highly recommended.“

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

“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.“

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

“Great lunch and good friends!“

“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.“

“OMG!!! Their chicken is SO YUMMY!! 😋 I got turned on to this place from a friend. It's my 4th time having it and each time it has been crispy, flavorful and fresh! Keep up the good work and you'll have a forever customer that will introduce your business to friends! ☺️“
