We arrived here and waited about 20-25 minutes to be seated because they were full and had a waitlist (no problem, we were willing to stay as this made us think it was going to be a great experience as witnessed by its popularity). Once sat, it took almost 10 minutes to put in a drink order. We attempted to also order an appetizer but were told no, that another waitress would take our order. Another 15 minutes pass by in which the table of 3 who were seated after us already had their drinks and food-we still haven't been able to even order at this point. I flagged a waitress down who was cleaning another table and asked to order; she wad pleasant and said someone would be right with us. We ordered and the person who assisted us was friendly. Maybe 10 minutes pass by and my partner's food came out. Mine never showed and nobody ever came back to our table to deliver it or explain what was going on (I ordered mole enchiladas-not something that takes an extended amount of time to prepare). Finally 15 minutes later I flagged a other waitress down who sent over the original waitress, telling me there was a mistake with my order so they were remaking it. I was extremely annoyed at this point as the service was absolutely not there for such a popular place. I forgot to mention, the earlier table being cleaned was already full of two patrons who were drinking & eating their food yet I was still waiting. This was two tables that were sat right after and far after us who were promptly served. My enchiladas come out soon after and everything looked great except for the tomatoes that I'd requested off. My partner enjoyed his fish tacos aside from the lack of sauce and repeated requests for limes. The ambiance is special and the decor is nice, but the overall service (mainly lack thereof) is what prompts this negative review. It's worthy to note that the presumed 'regulars' visiting this restaurant were taken care of with speedy service (waitresses hugging & conversing with patrons) while we never even got a single drink refill.

The service and food are excellent! The staff is attentive, friendly, and helpful. There were plenty of vegetarian options. The tortillas are handmade. The space is nicely decorated and very pleasant.

Good authentic Mexican home style restaurant, nothing to write home about but definitely good for a backup plan if somewhere near is booked. Horchata is amazing one of the best I've had. Live performance was very nice and entertaining.

First off the service here is wonderful, fast and friendly!! The waitresses are always so nice and accommodating. The mole is hands down the BEST we have ever had and the other dishes are all delicious - you won’t go wrong with anything you order. This is our favorite Mexican restaurant and we have been to many. We look forward to coming here for many years to come.Vegetarian options: We had the vegetarian sopes and the tacos Durados (filling is a potatoe purée with not too spicy jalapeños) a they were both finger lickin!! And we are NOT vegetarians and we enjoyed these options

One of my fave spots to grab brunch in the city. Highly recommend great food and amazing service!
Here is my review of the San Jalisco Mexican Restaurant. San Jalisco has the ingredients of success. Most definitely the food is authentic, freshly made, and plentiful. Our service was outstanding and friendly. The location is perfectly away from the chaos of Mission Street. San Jalisco is a great date night restaurant.Parking: The SFMTA has restricted parking with it's slow streets campaignWheelchair accessibility: The entrance and tables look ADA compliant
