Great Colombian foods! One of the rare spots in SF where you can find it. Not only that, but they also have delicious vegan options. This place is the gem of Leland St.Vegetarian options: Vegan burritos and sour cream!

Everything was going great till we observed mold on the pumpkin tea bread. I was truly hoping it wasn’t there as it pretty much ruined the whole experience. The rest of the food gave some stomach upsetting feeling. Either way… they definitely need to be on top of things like this otherwise customers will get

The small shop offers a large selection of foods in the menu with interesting Mexican drinks on the shelf. The host is very friendly. I ordered a Latin bowl, and it is tasty, healthy in a big portion. Will certainly come back to try other items.

20 minutes minimum for a simple hot chocolate in an empty restaurant. This is now the 3rd time I order a hot chocolate ahead of my pedicure appointment at the place next door and have been received with extremely slow service for a singular drink. Once received it's scorching hot (McDonald's coffee lawsuit-hot) and the color of sock water - I mean, I'd love some chocolate with my milk. I've now gone through my hour-long pedi, and the drink is still entirely too hot, rendering it all pointless.

Lovely and colorful spot! I got the vegan chorizo breakfast burrito and the vegan spinach mushroom empanada - both were excellent! I'm so glad to have this spot in the

incredibly disappointed with the service. We placed our online order for pick up at 7:10 which included 2 arepas and 2 empanadas. At 8:00 we received the notification that our food was ready. As we arrived someone ordered an arepa. We were then informed that there was not enough arepas to fulfill our order. We then waited an additional 30 minutes for our order to actually be ready. When it finally arrived, the empanadas were entirely missing so another 15 minute wait ensued. The food was good but absolutely not worth the over an hr wait.TLDR; messed up our order several times and had an incredibly long wait

We came here during SF restaurant week and got Mazorcada from restaurant week special menu. It was my first time trying Mazorcada. I am amazed by how much chicken, beef, hotdog, fries and heavy cheese are stuffed in this dish, yet it doesn't feel too heavy. The hot sauce is also fresh, and definitely worth a try even if you don't like spice. The empanada is super fresh with a very thin, crispy and buttery dough. The staff is super friendly too, and gave us pour-over coffee instead of the sugary drink that comes with the order. We will definitely come back for arepa next time.

My friend and I found this place on our trek thr the Crosstown Trai. We sat outside at the nice tables to enjoy our Latin breakfast. There we got to view the pretty tile works and the big wall mural across the street. What a great neighborhood.Arepa - corn cake stuffed with cheese, eggs, tomato, and onion.Cafe de Olla was good tasting coffee, not bitter, not sour.

VERY pleasantly surprised by this little gem in Viz Valley. We had the chicken empanadas, arepas, and bandeja paisa (pictured). Everything arrived exceptionally fresh, hot, and delicious. The food is very clean, not greasy, and well presented. It’s obvious they take pride in the lovely food they offer and the staff were all super friendly as well. Only downside is not a lot of seating (one table inside and a couple outside). If we lived nearby, we would absolutely be regulars but will definitely make the effort to return when we are nearby for soccer etc. 100% recommended !Dietary restrictions: Good gf options
