Amazing. From being greeted, customer service top notice. The food so good. Each of us ordered something different and we each others food. This ribs absolutely amazing. The fries done perfectly and I was able to get an iced coffee. Your order will be enough for 2-3 meals. Each of us could not finish our item. So funny I pass here almost every day to the gym, and I see the sign. I never stopped by and so now I will be here more often. My brother and his better half have been coming here for a few years. Thankful for this hidden gem. Blessed and tummy full.

Wow for five stars I was shocked... I came in on Friday may 3rd 2024 and had the worst food experience of my life. To put it shortly the food was awful, the service was terrible (mean and unhelpful waiters), and we waited quite a bit for our food. The tacos were subpar, the Al pastor had no flavor was rubbery and lacked pineapples on one of our orders. The carne asada was flavorless other than the alien mustardy aftertaste. The food was expensive and we were hoping for quality yet it sucked. The horchata was watery and small. The waiters were rude and unhelpful. I never post yelp reviews but I kid you not this was the worst food experience of my life! I'll delete this review if I get a refund but if I don't I will post a nasty TikTok review because this was unacceptable. My friend and I left in shock before saying too much of what was on our minds. Please don't be fooled by the five stars unless today was truly an off day and a horrible one at that because there wasn't a single aspect of the restaurant we liked aside from the ambiance. Please get back to me you guys needa make this right!!

i wouldnt say its authentic mexican food but the food is really tasty. my boyfriend and I ordered order their quesadilla with meat, tamarind ribs, pulpo y camaron, enchiladas, and to drink i had a cola and my beautiful boyfriend had a sprite. the ribs wasnt really my type of ribs but overall they were okay, the quesadilla was so good with hotsause and the pulpo y camaron was something new i tried and i would 10/10 ordered again. My boyfriend is very picky about his food and wasnt really a fan of the enchiladas but they were so tasty to me. The service was really sweet and fast so we gave her a good amount of a tip. I give this restaurant a 8.5/10 and would come back for my birthday!

I had already been going to Caliente Bistro for the past few months, but I had to share my experience with this place that occurred today. I had placed an Uber Eats order and had to cancel it because I was in a rush but I was still charged anyway. I was told by Uber Eats to contact this store to see if they could make my order again without additional charges and when I spoke to the owner, right away he was extremely accommodating and understanding. Despite causing such trouble, along with the fact that they were already past closing hours, they still agreed to make my order and I couldn't be happier with the service I received. Now, for the food, I ordered a super carne asada burrito with the cheesy crust, an al pastor taco, and a drink. The carne asada and al pastor was full of flavor and seasoned nicely. If you're a Mexican food enthusiast like I am, I would absolutely recommend trying out this place as it has been my new go-to spot when I'm in the mood for burritos or tacos.

Didn't even get to eat here because it took over 30 minutes for them to make 2 carne asada tacos and I left. Kitchen staff said it would be 10 minutes and every time we asked how much longer they kept saying their kitchen is busy. That's fine but don't tell your customers that their food will be ready and then take over 3x the amount of time. Disappointing.

TGTO. It reminded me of jerky chicken leg. Super tender. Roasted. Meat falling off the bones. Bringing it home, i smelled the spices and the onions. Good thing i was super hungry. Loved the pico de gallo, tomato salsa, crunchy with red onions, super fresh. I want more, like a whole cup. Rice and them beans were so tasty like marinated with enchilada sauce. Got the hibiscus drink. Not watered down at all. Full of flavor. Can't wait to go back. They have ceviche on their menu.

This place was a good pick. The food is good and hot, service was faster than we expected and is very clean!! We will definitely go back. Other than going to the Mission this was nice not to travel far for some good eating.

Will be coming here everyday for happy hour!! The tofu taco was awesome and margaritas were great! The waiter was super nice. I live close by so will def recommend to others and come back again!

Asian workers at a Mexican restaurant slightly concerned me when I first walked in. However our appetizers were delicious, and the main meal too. They gave very generous portions. The food was very delicious for a surprisingly low price, and I will definitely come back one day.
Everything my family ate had the best flavor profiles! Great portions and great service!

I've eaten at the restaurant twice now and the food is incredible. Both times I've had the ceviche and the carnitas super burritos. Both are incredibly fresh and the prices are fair. The seafood in the ceviche had the right amount of crunch. Note that the portions were a good size and and make great leftovers as well.

Delicious and wonderful service! Got the chicken tacos which were flavorful and moist and the chips and salsa were a welcome start to the meal.

This place still absolutely rocks. Amazing food, the best Mexican in SF in my opinion.

We found this Mexican restaurant while we visited Golden Gate Park and walked to there following google map. Their complimentary chips are freshly cooked, we especially liked the pairing red sauce salsa. It's delicious. I liked the carne asada taco and al pastor taco. The carne asada is seasoned well and grilled tender. The al pastor taco is paired with mango and has a little bit of sweet taste. The portion is generous and the price is affordable. The owner is warm and friendly. It's a great restaurant worth trying.
