Looks good, but we unfortunately had to leave as we were sitting there for a bit and realized no one had came to take our order. It was a Thursday night and they were packed with what looked like only a couple people working so I don?t fault them too much.If we had time to kill we would have stayed but we had a show to get to unfortunately. +1 for the chips and salsa.

Lovely and fun interior, cheerful music, food is great but I found the fajitas a bit on the salty side and tacos could be a tad more flavorful. One thing to note is that the service is very slow perhaps due to shortage of working staff, budget for enoughtime if you are on a tight timeline.

Excellent Mexican food. They start you with three salsas and chips, which are delicious. I had a carnitas super burrito, also very good. Friendly staff and a very attractive interior. They have a full bar as well. Definitely the place to for Mexicanclassics if you're on the north side of Protrero Hill.

One of the best Hispanic restaurants I?ve been to. The 3 complimentary spices with chips are all SO good in diverse ways, the meats in their entree?s are genuinely well made, and the quantity is surprisingly alot. And super friendly attendants and ownersto top it off. My go-to in SF.

This is a colorful and vibrant Mexican Cantina with Subtle French influence and an emphasis on well presented, organic Mexican dishes. Recommended if you're looking for a sit down Mexican fare that tastes upscale but has more of a local authentic vibe. Ahuge plus here is the friendly service, the abundant and safe parking, and the amazing food. Free chips and 3 salsas is also abonus! I highly recommend their margaritas as well as the short rib tacos. We were blown away by the braised short rib tacos asthey were absolutely perfect. It also appears that the fajitas here are worth ordering. The servers were passing these out leftand right and the smell of fire grilled steak and vegetables filled the restaurant. It was really a great experience. Highlyrecommended if you want a casual vibe and amazing food but want something a little more inviting and healthy than your typicalBay Area taqueria.
