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.

The restaurant front is a bar, the back includes an indoor and outdoor patio. Overall is very large dinning hall. If you have over 6 guests the long table won't be ideal for group meetings.

That said, it wasn't the most comfortable seating, although it is atmospheric. Our table was near some stairs and it felt like the staff had to squeeze through. Like a lot restaurants now, it is a bit loud to have an intimate conversation -- surprising to see so many business groups here. Perhaps that's a plus because there's no way someone can eavesdrop on you. There is an extensive ceviche menu, so I had high hopes and tried 2 of them. We also got the bucatini with seafood and the lomo saltado. This is a good amount of food for 2 people -- perhaps just right for a big eater, but definitely too much for me. Honestly? The ceviche was just ok. I got the local halibut and the leche de Tigre. Both of them felt a bit under seasoned. The fixings was nice but the amount of seafood didn't warrant the prices. The bucatini was delicious and studded with crab meat and scallops -- it was definitely my favorite dish. The lomo saltado had tender beef and fried potatoes, but it, again, did not warrant the high price even though I did enjoy it. Oh, did I mention that it was *pricy*? Even for San Francisco, especially for a honey dish like Lomo Saltado -- I didn't think it was classed up enough for the ~$50 price. Yes you read that right! Anyway, this is a great place to use your expense account. However, don't even think about coming here on personal funds. The food was decent but extremely overpriced; you could be seated in an area without any view; and the drinks (I got the pisco sour) was weak and not even close to what I've gotten on my travels to South America.

With several bar height tables along the wall and normal tables and booths in the main dining area. For the most part there is street parking but good luck finding a space. We took Uber so that we could have some drinks.

For some reason, I thought this was a regular restaurant with table service, and a much larger space, but it's a somewhat narrow space and you order at the counter. I decided to try their trio sampler plate so I could get an idea of how a few of their meats were prepared and they each were in their own mini-arepa, so I thought that would be a good introduction. Unfortunately, I didn't like the arepas as much as I thought I would. I found them to be a little dry and lacking that rich corn masa flavor I was expecting. I don't know if this has to do solely with Pica Pica or if it's simply how arepas are made in general, but I came away feeling like I preferred other foods with a corn base such as tamales and pupusas. Meat-wise I had the fried chicken, the shredded beef and the asado negro. The fried chicken, to me, was not very exciting. The shredded beef was good, tasty, but the asado negro was the absolute star of it all? As far as I'm concerned, it's a most delicious cut of brisket with a sweet tomato sauce. I wish I had ordered more. The platanos or fried plantains were not like maduros that are very sweet. They're a little dry and flavorless, and the side order that I got of them for $7.50, they sure don't give you all that many. so that was a bummer for me. I also tried two flavors of what essentially are aguas frescas, the passion fruit and the mango. The passion fruit was out of this world! The mango, don't bother. It tasted like water with a powdered mix. I will definitely be back -- unfortunately, not for the arepas, but for the asado negro, either as a plate with rice & beans or in a salad.

I liked the cachapas with pulled pork so much more than the arepa with shredded beef. The pulled pork portion was huge and very juicey and delicious! The combination of sweet corn and savory pork was incredible. It's a bit weird though there are was half an uncut avocado just sitting inside the sweet corn crepe. The salad that came was also fresh, and I enjoyed the all the sauces that came with it. The white arepa we had was dry and uninteresting. I liked the plantains and the beef fillings too but the cachapas just couldn't beat. When we asked for to-go they put it in a brown bag. They didn't include any utensils so I suggest getting them if you want to eat somewhere else.

I think the food was solid - I shared with someone the shredded jerk chicken chilaquiles and crispy beef vaca frita potato hash & eggs, whereas the entire table shared the guava crème brûlée French toast.

With no planning, we showed up at Pacifico, which was just a couple blocks from our concert. The restaurant was a little weird - it sits within the lobby of the SF Jazz recital hall, and all the signs are for "B-Side". It's a little unclear to me still whether the restaurant is called B-Side or Pacifico, but the waiter told us that Pacifico is new, with a new chef and new menu. The inspirations are Colombia, Peru, and California cooking, which was very appealing to us. We ordered two items off the specials menu (Tuna Tostada and Short Rib) and one from the permanent menu (Hearts of Palm Ceviche). The Tuna Tostada was both of our favorite. It was light, refreshing, and there were these little pops of flavor from burnt, deeply fried jalapeños. The Hearts of Palm ceviche was interesting and unique (a completely vegetarian dish, but made in the style of ceviche and with leche de tigre). Ultimately, it was more interesting than appetizing.

The poc-chuc pork meat was an insane flavor - while the citrus marinade wasn't super obvious like it didn't taste citrus-y, it tasted like no other pork I've had before and so flavorful and moist. The meat came on a freshly made tortilla as well - it was piping hot! And the tortilla was like no other corn or flour tortilla Ive had before. It was obviously very fresh and a little fluffy, though not to the level of naan or arepas. It just really complimented the meat.

Chips were thick and crispy, they came with two salsas, one of which was way too spicy for me, but loved the other. The ambiance and service are what you'd expect from an older more traditional spot in The Mission. Would absolutely come back here and recommend it to anyone that truly loves food and experiencing other cultures and cuisines.
