“ I came here on a weekday for a quick lunch and ordered a grilled chicken burrito with guac and sour cream and it was huge. The cheese was not melted enough so it was difficult to eat also the distribution was of the burrito was not rolled correctly so in one bite it was all meat, and sour cream and guac. I would probably order the plates the next time I come. ”

“ Had the pollo y mole as my main, it was sweet and savory! The service was friendly, sat our table quickly. Place is decorated from the ceiling to the floor and played some Spanish classics. ”

“ If you're looking for a cozy spot with a touch of home in the heart of San Francisco, this restaurant absolutely hits the mark. I showed up mainly on a friend's recommendation to try their famous mole, and it did not disappoint. It's not overly sweet like some moles can be; it manages to be rich and flavorful without being overpoweringly chocolatey. Plus, they have this rotating menu that always includes something intriguing, like the pozole they had when I visited - definitely keeps things fresh and interesting! I decided to dive into a plate of their Choriqueso ($13.50). This starter was spot on, with just the right pull in the melted cheese, and the chorizo added a nice savory kick. Soft tortillas were on the side, which were pleasant, though something a bit more robust for dipping would have been perfect. On the main dish front, I settled on the beef soup for one of those colder SF nights, and it was like a warm hug in a bowl--lovely savory broth packed with tender beef. If you've got a taste for something sweet, don't miss their fried plantains; the portion is generous and they fry them up beautifully. The service here was seriously the cherry on top. The staff is super friendly, making a point to suggest different dishes and check in without hovering too much. It's like they genuinely want you to explore the best their menu has to offer! And the restaurant itself has such a vibrant, lively feel to it, with those charming Lotería-themed tables and the occasional mariachi band cruising through--it's the kind of warm environment that makes you want to linger. Do note that while I wasn't particularly wowed by their horchata, as it seemed to come from a syrup and didn't hit the spot for me, it didn't drag my experience down. This place is perfect for bringing out-of-town guests who want a taste of local flavor. Whether you're going for a hearty meal or just popping in for something light, the ambiance and flavors make it well worth returning to. Definitely a top pick in my books! ”

“ Authentic, crave worthy, flavorful food. I adore this restaurant. The staff treats you like family. The ambiance is welcoming and vibrant! I love the Lotería themed chairs and tables. I take everyone who visits from out of town here for at least one meal! Cannot recommend it more. ”

“ Came here recently to try their Breakfast Burrito (12.50) and Choriqueso ($13.50). Both were tasty and filling. The Choriqueso is basically melted cheese that is grilled then sprinkled with chorizo sprinkled on top. It eats like melted cheese with a pretty substantial pull, and not liquid like some other queso's. Also, they serve soft tortillas on the side, which were good, but I would have appreciated something more rigid to "dip" with. The burrito was filled appropriately, and everything was seasoned well. While I can't note any particular faults with this burrito, I also didn't find it to be anything extraordinary, so I'd recommend it if you're just looking for a solid option in the area that is no-frills and hits the spot. They also serve complimentary chips & salsa, which was a nice addition. The vibe in here is a little campy, but the crowd is local and it's definitely bustling. Come alone or with a group. ”
