Argentine Restaurants near San Francisco, CA

“Very good sandwiches!! 10/10“

“This little gem is located inside Ferry Building Marketplace. It’s is one of the few places open early in the morning to get food. The woman working was friendly. We had no wait. I ate the Fugazzeta Empanada… it literally melted in my mouth. It was the best empanada I have ever had. The price seemed high for just one, but the taste made it worth it!“

“Went at 4:30 pm, expecting a limited selection, however it appears, except for a few dessert empanadas they had almost everything available.

While I love my meats, my favorite remains the mushroom and the cherry dessert empanadas.

At $7 a piece, you can't eat one of everything, but whatever you choose, it's hard to go wrong with the flaky, buttery crust and the warm sweet or savory filling. They also microwave well for reheating.“

“Great empanadas!! It’s an awesome breakfast treat!“

“This place is surely one of the most attractive place in the neighborhood. Every time I go there I am truly glad. They manage their very high standard service and the topmost level of cooking they offer. You can never go wrong with this restaurant. Warmly recommended.“

“This place has amazing empanadas and good prices. Also the guy running it, I'm assuming the owner, is super friendly and made my first time going there all the more memorable! We also tried several different empanadas and would recommend every single one.“

“Il Pollaio: 27 Years and Going Strong!

I first walked into Il Pollaio 27 years ago, shortly after moving to San Francisco. Since that day, I have enjoyed their food, and my fondness for it has never waned. The standout dish here is the grilled chicken. They truly know how to do chicken right! I always recommend ordering the half-grilled chicken and salad special. It remains a fantastic deal. If grilled chicken isn't your favorite, you can't go wrong with their lamb chops or burgers, either.

Their salads are simple but satisfying. My top pick is the Combination Salad, which comes with beans. When it comes to soups, my favorite is the split pea soup, though their minestrone is also excellent!

The staff at Il Pollaio is wonderful. Over the years, I've seen many great people work there, but a few have been around for a long time, and they are exceptional.
Il Pollaio has been a constant in my life in the North Beach food scene for over two decades, and I can't recommend it highly enough for anyone seeking delicious and reliable meals in North Beach, San Francisco.
