This is the corner for breakfast/brunch in San Francisco, especially if you're craving waffles. I ordered two waffles and liked that it included strawberries and bananas. The strawberry lemonade also had fresh strawberries inside, which was a refreshing surprise. I enjoyed the ambiance of the restaurant and the colorful tables. I could see this place getting busy, especially on weekends. The wait staff was busy but attentive. They have outdoor seating as well. The service was smooth and helpful in the ordering process. They even offered more syrup for my waffles. Overall a great place to start the day. I was satisfied and will be back again.

Vegan Nick's polenta $17.50
Magda G.

I came in on a gloomy Saturday to have brunch with my girlfriend. I haven't been here in years. The staff was incredible, they checked on us, multiple times, free coffee refills kept coming in. They had one vegan option but the Nick's polenta was bland to be honest. The vegetables were just steamed and the black beans really didn't have much flavor. I feel that the whole entire dish visually colorful; lacked flavor. Also, after sitting there with the door closed for over an hour, it got fairly smokey from all the cooking. Bathroom needed attending as well. CC accepted.

Chicken fried steak
Elaine J.

Classic diner atmosphere with a neighborhood vibe. The menu is comfort food with a Latin note and extensive vegetarian options. Service was good and prices were not excessive.

Tofu scramble
Sara L.

Although the prices have doubled, the staff has changed, and kiddos have joined the dining room experience since I last visited over a decade ago, the spirit and flavor of Boogaloos remains absolutely fabulous! Fake foliage hangs from wall mounted planters, quintessential 80's music flows from speakers above, and counterculture artwork lines the walls. Since I couldn't remember what I ordered so long ago when brunching with friends on Sundays was a regular happening, I ordered the tofu scramble today. The pesto sauce was a light added delight to the mashup of tofu and hash browns. The portions were hugely perfect. San Francisco is lucky Boogaloos remains.

Great service and LARGGGGE portions! The staff were helpful and had great banter. I opted for the chorizo and eggs, it came with four warm corn tortillas and black beans. Perfect to make that yummy breakfast taco. We also had the chicken and waffles which were crispy and light. Solid spot for a hearty meal we even left with leftovers for later :)

I had a friend visiting from outta town, they wanted to explore the mission and suggested Boogaloos as our meetup stop for brunch. We got there on a Saturday after noon, and were able to get seated right away. The space is old-school diner vibes which I enjoyed. I'm not much of a breakfast person, so decided to go with their chicken pesto sandwich. I didn't have high hopes, but was surprised and how flavorful the sandwich was overall. The fries were good too. Not sure if it was 1000 island sauce, but it was a really good dip. My girlfriend got their chorizo quesadilla, and that was hefty, and tasty. The service was a bit rough around the edges. However, what I loved about this place was the portion size and price. Lots of food for the price and I think it's good value. Definitely would recommend for breakfast and brunch, especially if you are trying to satisfy a lot of different cravings.

Waffle Special & Square Cool Combo
Rini C.

My friend and I decided to stop by on Sunday around lunch time because we wanted to get brunch after visiting the kitty cafe. It wasn't too busy yet, so we were able to be seated immediately. I ordered the Waffle Special and she ordered the Square Cool Combo with the potatoes. It took around 20 minutes to get our food. The Waffle Special had bananas and strawberries which gave light sweetness to the dish. The waffle was soft and the scrambled eggs were fluffy and tasty. The bacon was a bit too dry and hard rather than crispy. Next time, I have to try a different side instead. My friend let me try her potatoes, and it was flavorful and soft. I typically go for sweet and savory dishes, so I felt that this had both elements. The place had cool art lined on the walls and some plants. The tables had cool pages and art decor which gave it this casual, artsy, vintage diner type of vibe. Our waitress was attentive and kind, checking on us periodically, refilling our waters when we were running low. It was great service. This is a nice casual diner with American and Latin American dishes and it had a good mix of typical breakfast foods that you would see in a brunch spot. They have plenty of other dishes that were interesting to us, so we definitely need to return and try next time!

Avocado toast
Vivian L.

Cute restaurant with friendly staff! Menu has great variety. I got the avocado toast which was pretty good, I think two toasts would've made this easier to eat, one egg per toast but it was still good!

Classic Cubano with side of chicken cilantro soup
Crystal H.

Interior was a diner vibe with a Latin twist of that makes sense! It was vibrant and lively inside, and the waiters were extremely attentive and patient. All of the dishes my friends and I got were delectable! I personally got their cubano, and it was huge and delicious. Everything you would expect in a typical cubano, but with large portions. The chicken cilantro soup was a pleasant surprise, and was slightly spicy and very flavorful. Plantains are a must and eating it with the beans makes it perfect. My friend let me try a bite of their birria taco dipped in both the consome and green salsa and it literally made my jaw drop on how good it was. I genuinely recommend this place for breakfast, brunch, lunch, everything!

Menu
Cristal F.

Came here on a Sunday morning. Parking can be difficult if you're driving so you may find yourself parking a few blocks away from the restaurant. When you arrive, there is a sign in sheet by the door to put down your name, party size, seating preference. We waited about 10mins to be seated. Vibe is casual. They have a large menu which I love because a lot of other places I've been to have limited options for breakfast. To start, we had the Bloody Mary and fresh grapefruit juice. For my meal I got the tofu scramble with ranchero sauce which comes with potatoes and your choice of toast (all vegan). It was so good, every bite of the tofu had so much flavor from the ranchero sauce. Potatoes were nice and crispy on the outside and soft inside. My husband ordered the eggs Benedict with hash browns and a side of pork sausage. He thoroughly enjoyed his food. Servers work as a team to put out food and drinks in a timely manner. This place is a gem and I will continue coming and bringing family from out of town to try more delicious food and drinks.

Nickys Polenta
Joanne L.

My friends and I stopped by here for a brunch in mission district. The place is well decorated and cozy. It was a filled restaurant by the time we came so we waited ~15min to be seated, but the staff was kind and quick to help us. The food was great and was exactly what we were hoping for- your typical breakfast food. Although nothing stood out as phenomenal, you can't really go wrong with ordering anything from the menu since all the dishes were still great. Our waiter was also nice and consistently checked on us. Great find, and would recommend for a solid, filling meal!

22nd Steak Sandwich & Chicken Club
Stella C.

The food was subpar at best, the steak is unseasoned, and the waffles were not bad. The food came quickly and the staff was professional. The interior is beautiful, and the skylight makes for a pleasant eating area; the music is mostly throwbacks, and elevates the ambiance.

Can someone post photos from the new (if it's updated) menu?

Looks to me the menu is the same one, at least the one before they closed the location on Valencia and 22nd.

I had visited place once ~12 years ago. Glad I came back! I am really impressed with this place and…read morewe'll be back. We were greeted immediately and shown to the table I had requested (I requested a booth). At many restaurants, reinstated like the are ignored so this was really nice. I also was impressed that they didn't pull the "everyone must be present before you're seated" bs that I really dislike. They seated us and our 4th joined us soon after we ordered drinks. Props! It was a nice big booth with plenty of room for our party of 4. Low lighting and classy dining room. Food was delicious. We chose the lamb. Also lots of inventive cocktails. I chose The Bentley. We also got dessert: lemon curd donuts and a peach trifle.

Then we waited 15 minutes and were never approached for a drink. Oh well,,, hostess came and founds up and took us to our table. Said table was VERY small and shoved into a very small corner in back of a smallish but VERY loud room. Server took at least 10 minutes to greet our table and take a drink order. Drinks were fine but nothing to write home about. Ordered deviled eggs for an appetizer. Smoked paprika flavor was overwhelming and we left 4 of the six eggs uneaten. Dinner guest ordered Flat iron steak and fries. Said it was ok "Like a steak at Chili's". He left half his steak and didn't want a box to take the leftover. Also ordered the Mac-n-cheese side and said it was bland and had a mushy texture. I ordered the Black Cod. It was under seasoned and bland. Server was fine and I mean that in the most average and forgettable way. While I understand the restaurant was busy and they can't help noise levels or where we were sat (someone has to sit in that table, right?), I'm most disappointed in the things they could have controlled. Timely, friendly service and well seasoned quality food should be the cornerstones of any good restaurants and Wayfare Tavern displayed neither last night. One other rule I need to remember to live by. ALWAYS check yelp reviews vs. OpenTable. OT consistently has EXTREMELY high reviews that don't always "add up". Wayfare Tavern, for example is a 4.7 stars in over 8,300 reviews, while it only receives 3.9 stars in Yelp with over 4,000 people reviewing it on this platform. Just my opinion but for context I eat out for work 3-4x a weeks all over the country and Wayfare did not come close to a 4.7 star or even a 3.9 star experience.

She was clearly an experienced waitstaff and very nice and friendly to her customers and always with a smile. The kind of person you'd want to take home to meet mom. We ordered a pitcher of margarita, $85. It was huge. The men ordered fajitas, chicken abd beef + shrimp. It's their go-to dish here. BFF got the tacos and I ordered the combo beef enchilada + pork tamale. My dish was well seasoned and tasty if a tad salty but the beef was rather dry and the sauce a bit too spicy for my taste. The tamale was perfect. We ate a lot of the crispy thin tortilla chips which seemed bottomless. Hubby ordered the chocolate flan and BFF got the churros with chocolate sauce. The churros are delicious. For weeknights, the restaurant was fully booked, so reservations is a must. Multiple birthday celebrations were being held as they lit the sparkling light on the dessert they ordered.

Since we did arrive early, we went and sat at the bar area. First glance of the bar and dining area resembled a bright and beautiful mom and pop places I visited in Mexico.

We mentioned it was our first time so he gave us some insights and suggestions which happened to be on our radar. We were seated on time and Francisco greeted us introducing himself. He too was very nice and helped answer our questions. He gave us a few min to decide. We ended up deciding to order multiple dishes to enjoy. If you're looking for a nice place to enjoy some really delicious Mexican food I highly suggest to give Elena's a try, you won't be disappointed!

A charming little bistro inspired by the Marlowe cows, I'm assuming, managed to stun us with several memorable dishes. The warm deviled eggs were an excellent start. Savory yet delicate enough to not weigh us down right at the beginning of our meal. The horseradish aioli wasn't for me, but I can see its appeal for a certain audience. You give me a Calabrian chili sauce and it's guaranteed to make me happy and this shrimp with sweet corn was no exception. Again, light but a punchy flavor that was enjoyable. I could go on and on about the different dishes we tried but the real standout of the night was the pork tenderloin with chorizo and peaches. The sweetness from the peaches somehow managed to enhance the flavor of the chorizo. This dish gives you a bold, savory and sweet bite all together but still won't have you feeling super heavy. The portion size is perfect. Im hoping to return soon for another exquisite meal.
