Ate outside on a beautiful sunny day ☀️ food was delicious and stress free being a GF establishment. Staff was very nice! I was sitting in the sun and when a shaded table opened they asked if I would like to move.

Went here to try the SF restaurant week menu. It has a very nice atmosphere and the food is presented well. I felt that the experience missed the mark a bit though considering the prices. The menu is authentic Mexican but the flavours were lacking. For example, in the hibiscus margarita, the hibiscus was soo diluted compared to one you would get at a nice restaurant in Mexico. And it was similar for the food… the flavours were lacking. The duck on the menu was nice but too salty, while the dessert was too sweet. Our specific server seemed inexperienced but other staff were very attentive. In summary, I was hoping for the flavours to better match what I get in Mexico.

Awesome food in an awesome space. The chips and guac were great, and I loved the chicken mole, it was so super yummy. Great drinks as well, and the waitstaff was very friendly. Highly recommend!

This has been one of our favorite spots in SF for quite awhile, but it just keeps getting better and better!!! Enchiladas were amazing and fried chicken was to die for!!! My wife has celiacs and can’t have gluten so this place is a god send!!! Keep up the great work!!

Excellent food and reasonable prices. The pork taco appetizer, carnitas, and waffle churro were standouts. Attentive service and casual environment. Drinks were fine, but I was surprised by limited tequila options that were served neat but in a "wrong" glass.

My partner called ahead to order as we were running late on date night - we got the lunch/dinner menus mixed up, but the person on the phone gave us wonderful recommendations for vegan options and the food was ready very shortly after we arrived. They even let us sit out on the patio even though we were technically too late. The patio is MAGICAL!! Beautiful walk-through fountain feature and string lights around all the trees, and cool music playing from quality speakers. And the food - AMAZING!!! The vegan plates were top-notch, and the presentation was gorgeous! We must return again soon!Vegetarian options: Ask the server about vegan options - we had the taquitos and platano huarache, both fantastic!

My wife has celiac and this restaurant is one of the best all GF places we’ve found. All the courses we had, including appetizers, drinks and dessert were truly special. We will be back-definitely. Atmosphere and service were also great! Alberto really took great care of us.

Delicious food - best gluten free brunch in the Bay! Chilaquiles are perfect - sauce is on point and chips are crunchy. Their horchata latte is also very good. Highly recommend - 10/10 ⭐️ Location is a bit tucked away but the restaurant itself is very open and beautifully decorated!

Everything was excellent. The standout for me was the fried pork tacos. Portion sizes aren't very big, but more than respectable by SF standards and reasonably priced. My normally very anti-GF father really enjoyed everything as well (which is unprecedented).The closest I can come to a critique is the avocados were a little underripe. I like to try and provide feedback for newer spots but I've really got nothing ? Hopefully this spot is here to stay!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free kitchen! Very low-lactose-friendly menu as well.

Our server was amazing! He was attentive but didn’t hover. The food came out in a reasonable time, and was by far the best Mexican food in the States! Huge bonus for being a Gluten Free meal. Will visit every time my family and I are in SF.

Beautiful space, flavors did not match. Price did not meet expectations. Food was delayed, error on bill, but service staff was kind and apologetic.
