39 Best Latin American Restaurants in San Francisco

“Great food, great atmosphere and great service! Fair prices and snappy service!“

“The burrito was really delicious and packed with fresh, flavorful ingredients. The tortilla was soft and warm, and the filling had a great combination of meat, rice, beans, and toppings. Everything was well-seasoned and cooked perfectly, and the portion was generous and filling. The flavors all came together really well, making every bite satisfying. Overall, it was a great burrito, and I would definitely order it again.“

“The food was absolutely amazing. It's very hard to find a carribean or South American restaurant in San Francisco without them incorporating Mexican food. This place definitely takes the cake. They did a great job bringing flavor and authencity to every dish . Although the options in the menu are fairly safe options to the American man they're just awesome. The only reason I won't rate this space a five star is because of the space. The place is cramped and the seating is very uncomfortable.“

“i love the baja fish tacos really good, and the maizena de coco delicious!“

“El Dorado was a wonderful experience. The ceviche is awesome. We also had the arroz criollo which we couldn't stop eating. My son also had the churros with Chocolate sauce for dessert and loved it. If you are staying in the Union Square area and want to get away from the touristy restaurants, this restaurant is an easy 3-4 block walk and definitely worth it.“

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

“Can't find huitlacoche easily and they have it in their empanadas! Yum. Chicken fajitas was a plentiful portion and pretty good, but needed more seasoning. Small little restaurant with mostly solo diners. Maybe they do more take out I'm not sure, but glad I tried it! Very nice host/server. And great value.“

“Food was so good. We are from Seattle and had no idea how Peruvian food was out here and we were pleasently surprised!“

“MY BEST DINING EXPERIENCE IN SF SO FAR (and I have lived here for a year)!
The food was so tasty and authentic. The drinks were perfection. And the servers and bartender really are fantastic. They make you feel like you are part of the family!
We also had a celiac friend and they were so accommodating in making different modifications so that dishes could be gluten free!!“

“The food was delicious! Good service we had a great time!“

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

“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“

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

“The food was so good, so fresh and the micheladas were so good. We got shrimp ceviche and scallop ceviche which were both amazing, but i preferred the shrimp ceviche. We also got the shrimp tacos that were battered perfectly and had the best salsa. The music was also good and they have outdoor seating/dog friendly.“

“Mi primera vez ahí fue muy bueno nunca había ido me lo recomendaron y fui muy bien ambiente me encanto probé 5 platos y estaban deliciosos Muy buen ambiente y muy recomendable Bayan“

“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).“

“El Paisa offers a taste of authentic Honduran cuisine that is sure to tantalize your taste buds. From the moment you step inside, you're transported to a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere.
The menu boasts a variety of traditional dishes, each one packed with flavor. Don't miss the pork chops with coconut flavor beans was something I would recommend.
The service is friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home.“

“buena comida las pupusas una delicia“

“Muy buena atención Y muy delicioso 😋“

“First night in San Francisco and utterly exhausted after lack of sleep getting here we staggered out to an early dinner ( early here- 2am where we just came from). We must have looked like halfwits, probably confirmed by us choosing what we realised after was the one unset and not yet cleaned table in the whole place! The waitress was patient and didn’t make us feel any more idiotic than we already felt. The food was really fab too. I had my favourite sort of thing - lots of little bits to try as many dishes as possible - while my partner had arepas. We only have a few nights staying near here but I very much hope i can persuade M to have a repeat dinner here!“

“The Lomo saltado sándwich and papaya smoothie is soo… Good! I highly 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 👌💯“

“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!“

“Lately I’ve been craving Papusas, there is nothing better than a fluffy papusa with crispy edges. I enjoyed the papusas here, except I think they are a little too salty for my taste, maybe it’s the salt of the cheese they use not sure, otherwise they are delicious. I ordered two cheese and two mixed. Not a ton of meat in the mixed. Very light stuffing. The sauce they give you is not that spicy at all.“

“TLDR: huge pupusas and friendly serviceWe ordered the best burger in the mission and a zucchini pupusa. The burger seasoning was distinctly Central American with the spices but it was a little overcooked for me. The pupusa was pretty big and very flavorful and packed with ingredients. They also gave us free chips and salsa… the salsa was fuego! Service was very nice, quick and efficient“

“The food is delicious and the people working there are kind and professional. I love the huevos rancheros - worth the walk to pick them up! If you are looking for a brunch spot that’s not pretentious and has delicious food, this is your spot!“

“The chicken soup I ate from here was delicious. The chicken was soft and tender and the vegetables in my soup was buttery soft. My only complaint was that the chicken still had bones in it. It was still good though and I still recommend this restaurant. I give them 4 stars ⭐️“

“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.“

“Great food. Special requests accepted. Friendly Staff. Enough said.“

“Arepas and empanadas were great! We got the garlic yucca fries... The garlic is a garlic paste and want my thing, but still great all around.

All the food is naturally gluten free so a great option when looking for a menu to order from“
