Came to the table still sizzling. I was blown away of how much food there was and the smell was amazing!Took my first bite and tasted delicious ?“

“Probably my favorite lunch in the East Bay right now. Fresh hearty healthy delicious colorful. Food is clearly prepared with love and creativity and the people working were super kind. They have juice and espresso, it's in a bright beautiful space with tasteful decor. Totally reasonable prices - especially for the quality. Really what more could you ask for? 5000 stars ;)“

“Phenomenal. Every dish was superb. Tried their Easter Prix Fixe menu during my first visit and was blown away. We had the lamb shank, lomo saltado, seafood ceviche, cioppino, tres leches cake, and bread pudding. The meats were cooked to perfection and everything was very well balanced.“

“Small spot in the Salesforce travel plaza. Wide selection of meat, veggie, vegan empanadas that are heated up on ordering. There's a selection of salads, soups and a couple of desserts. Everything we tried was great and tasted very good. The guy behind the counter was great. Turned out to be super convenient for a snack on a Sunday evening and I'll be stopping by at other times too.“

“The Torta Cubana was very delicious! The bread was buttery and crunchy which paired very well with the meaty filling. I really appreciate when a place uses a good amount of mayo, but not excessive and Cholita Linda aced it! Their agua de Tamarindo was also nicely tart and sweet which I absolutely would return for!“

“Food was good, ordered the chefs tasting course meal , service was ok , previous experience was better , nice ambiance , but was notified by one the employees that one of the heater was not working because it will turn off and just gas comes out but earlier went asked to turn them on they turned so we were exposed to gas for a little bit“

“Caribbean cuisine right at the Ferry Building. You order at the counter and pick up the food. I tried the Cuban sandwich and the beef plate with rice and beans. It's typical Caribbean with some spice and sweetness not spicy hot. Try the strawberry juice.“

“Perfect spot for #tacotuesday ?Got the al pastor tacos and inhaled them way before it even occurred to me to get photos and post a review. They were delicious, highly recommend! Al pastor burrito was good too.Edit : ordered in a bunch of times and LOVE the Al pastor burrito. This is my go to taco spot and my faves are the fried shrimp, chorizo and Al pastor. They don’t skimp on the filling, so 3 tacos is a hearty meal. Soooo good 10/10“

“A very tasty and delicious authentic Mexican spot to grab some grub. They have some healthier options on the menu for those that are trying to keep health conscious while eating outside. Definitely try the pork burrito and ask them to make it spicy! It was super tasty. The portion size is also quite large. The staff was super friendly and willing to accommodate our requests. Will be back again!!“

“Chain steak restaurant in the heart of SF downtown. The food is good with lots of meat options. If want to get the attention of the servers, make sure to sit down with the large crowds. You don't be left out at a corner somewhere on your own. Drinks are more expensive than average and not as good so I suggest libations at any of the bars around downtown. The salad bar is good with lots of cold appetizer choices. If go around 1-2p, you can get the dinner meat selection with lunch prices.“

“The place is nice, we ate very delicious… we ordered chilaquiles with chicken, the chicken was seasoned very well… we also ordered some eggs Benedict, very good flavor and well made… to hydrate we ordered a non-alcoholic pina colada…I highly recommend the place for breakfast.“

“I can’t give enough praise for this restaurant. Had a most amazing dinner here, for our 10-Year anniversary. The Arroz con Pollo and the seafood pot pie were delicious. The flan for dessert was perhaps the best I’ve ever had (and I’ve had a lot, since it’s my favorite dessert of all). The chef/owner was so friendly, as was our server. You simply can’t go wrong with this intimate yet unpretentious small restaurant!“

“Had brunch with my wife here because they just opened up in Albany. We shared the scone, I ordered the Chilaquiles and my wife ordered the breakfast sopes.Everything was delicious and food came out in good timing. The staff was also attentive and gave us space to eat and chat.Would come here again!We also ordered the Tri Tip Sandwich and the Chicken Gordita to-go. Also super tasty! Really though, try this place out yourself!Update: Feb 11, 2024Went back for lunch with my wife to try different items on the brunch menu. Wife got the Mt.Tam Potatoes, I got the banana French toast (both served in a generous serving size). We couldn't help ourselves so we got a scone to share, a blueberry pancake and a banana pancake with fried chicken on the side.Everything came out timely and tasted amazing. Consistency is something we feel demonstrates whether a restaurant has their stuff down or not. Second time ordering the scone was not a disappointment. The service was also consistent, they were readily available but we didn't feel rushed. We will continue coming here!“

“Awesome location with a great selection and top notch quality. The Dorado en salsa de mariscos had the best scallops I've eaten along with a beautiful piece of mahi mahi and a beautiful prawn. The La podersoa with chicken got a great review and everyone left happy. Definitely worth a drop in.“

“I ordered pupusas revueltas. The pupusas, salsa and curtido were delicious. Horchata too, they make it as traditional Salvadoran horchata without milk or Rice.Vegetarian options: Pupusas are vegetarian, unless you add chicharrón (pork) or other meats. Beans and cheese are very popular.“

“I go to Angel's for the breakfast burrito with bacon. It always delivers, esp. with some hot sauce. The building and interior need some TLC, but if you look past that you'll discover a gem with quick, friendly service. Grab coffee from Catahoula across the street.“

“Our first time here, we loved it. The food was extremely tasty, we had the butternut squash soup and the chicken lunch special with plantains. The service was excellent and fast, the music was a tiny bit too loud, but the food was perfect…“
