Tanya H.

Came here on Mother's Day . I don't know why my brother in law would pick this place ? It a little hole in the wall which doesn't bother me . The customer service was nonexistent! What's bothering me is this place smelled of bleach so bad it smelt like a toliet. It is a total assault of the senses ! the mixto fajitas are what I ordered but was honestly scared to try them my daughter got hers first and I immediately panicked I tried one bite and got a never so I was given the chicken Milaneseand it was just ok but while I was eating the waiter came up to my table asking who Tanya was and he started reading my review back to me as if that would get me to change my review just because he embarrassed me in front of my family .well it didn't it just made me angry . Leaving the restaurant was worse than coming in I almost had a junkie run into me and had to avoid stepping in shit all the way back to the car apparently they liked their plates .. I guess he picked this spot because he thought they were going to have live mariachis but they didn't .in conclusion I definitely would not recommend this restaurant. Later I found out my brother in law wrote a raving review of this place just to cancel my review out . He has no standards. I will never apologize for having standards ! Very unprofessional of the waiter to try a move like that !m never ever coming back . Hey can have this restaurant! I much rather go to an establishment like Tommy's Mexican restaurant that has stood the test of time for the garlic shrimp and the huge tequila selection. ! It's up to you .......

Always have had the best customer experience of my life here, and it's been avoid 4 times I've come. Tonight, I had the 3 tingz tostadas (pictured) and they were amazing. Aside from their fantastic menu, the drinks and food make it 10/10 I think the place recently changed ownership to 3 brothers, and well I love them. Check them out if you want a great atmosphere, tasty cocktails and tastyyyyyy food!

Chilaquiles with green sauce

My new favorite place for Mexican food. A family owned business with a friendly ambiance & great service. This new restaurant is at the bottom of the Tilden hotel. I've been here a few times now for breakfast and dinner. The jamaica, quesabirria tacos, chilaquiles with green sauce & Mexican style steak are my favs so far. Fresh ingredients & made to order. If you like a sweet breakfast, the Mariachi concha is good too. They also make yummy cafe de la olla & horchata.

I was pleasantly surprised by this casual, neighborhood spot. :)…read more The chicken bowl is great! Tender, juicy chicken cooked perfectly - it's almost shredded but not fully. The rice is so tasty - it's the chicken broth rice type (NOT vegetarian). And I liked the garnishes that came with it. There is quite a bit of good seasoning on it, including sesame seeds, dill, etc. so you actually don't really need a sauce in my opinion. I got the chimichurri and it was more sauce-based than the traditional oil-base, which I really liked. I also ordered a side of Brussels sprouts and it was a good portion with aioli. For me personally, I thought it was pretty salty. Service is casual - you walk up to the counter, order and get a number. It's quick and easy.

Giving this a solid 3.5 stars (but I'll round it up for Yelp purposes) hehe…read more The atmosphere is nice and cozy but man does it get packed quickly! The service was quick and kind. Never a moment where old dishes or cups were sitting on the table. To eat, my friend and I had the sweet potato, baked potato, quarter chicken (dark meat), artichoke, brussel sprouts, and the sorbet : ) 1. Sweet potato was sweet and flavorful 2. Baked potato was good but needed extra salt or butter to really jazz it up. 3. Quarter chicken was sooo juicy and flavorful 4. Artichoke needed some level of salt to even out the heavy lemon but well cooked nonetheless 5. Brussel sprouts were flawless 6. The sorbet is amazing! It's how I expect strawberry ice cream to taste but lighter and fresher. Overall, would I come back? Absolutely Would I recommend it to a friend? Already done lol

I came in specifically for the seasonal items and let me tell you... mission fully accomplished…read more My two picks were the Sonoma Salad and the Bangkok Bowl, and WOW -- both delivered in totally different (but equally amazing) ways. If you're craving something refreshing, light, and fruity, the Sonoma is a must. The pears take it to the next level and give it that perfect sweet, crisp bite that makes every forkful feel extra refreshing. It's the kind of bowl you order when you want to feel bright and satisfied. Now if you're in the mood for something warm, crunchy, and nutty, the Bangkok Bowl is your girl. The texture, the richness, the cozy vibes -- chef's kiss. It's hearty without being heavy and hits all the comfort-food notes. And can we talk about portions?! These bowls are NO joke. I swear I made a huge dent in mine, looked down thinking I was almost done... only to realize I basically still had a whole second meal left. Instant take-home win. On top of all that, the staff is super friendly, the space is clean, bright, and welcoming, and the whole experience just feels good from start to finish. I came for the seasonal menu but I'll definitely be back for everything else too. If you're debating what to order: Sonoma for fresh + fruity, Bangkok for warm + crunchy -- you truly can't go wrong!

This is the salad we wish we could have everyday. The main part of the restaurant is your standard table and booth situation, but off to the side is a darker, cozier arrangement of plush chairs and couches. The tables are a bit low and awkward to eat at, but the ambiance is immaculate. You can even get beer and wine here to complete the vibe. I will always love a MIXT salad. The ingredients are fresh, well-prepared, and fairly portioned. You can eat well and healthily and it's not unreasonably priced. I still mourn the loss of the green Goddess dressing... But I'll keep coming back regardless. It's that good.

I realized I had not added seating accommodation to my reservation and tried to call, but no one answered. When we arrived, the hostess told us we would not be able to sit in any of the currently empty booths because reservations were coming in later. We were seated at a table off the dining space near the kitchen, my mom was a little too chilly and the booth didn't have enough neck support. I expressed to the host that though I was sorry I had forgotten to add accommodation, that this was just not the way to handle the problem. I was able to speak to the manager, who had been outside taking orders and was clearly working very hard that day. (Her name is quite uncommon so I'm just going to call her M, but I really appreciate your help!) She asked me what my concern was, and I told her, at which point she asked me to wait nearby while she figured out if she could rearrange some tables for us. The bartender was incredibly kind and served me while I waited, and distracted me from imminent tears by sharing intricate details about each drink he was making. I learned do they have a myriad of health oriented cocktails, with ingredients like turmeric, ginger, and aloe liqueur. The manager returned and said that she had already seated my mother in a new space and escorted me to the table, which allowed me to relax and enjoy the meal. At the beginning of the menu, they list the ingredients that are currently in season, and at the back of the menu, there is a color wheel, telling you the benefits of the colors of food. (Purple foods can assist with memory and brain function!). We ordered the asparagus, which was in season, spicy cucumber, and the Aji grill for two. The tofu that came with the grill for two was my favorite thing that we ate. I think you can judge a vegan / vegetarian restaurant by their treatment of tofu. Perfectly seasoned with a crispy outside and I would come back just for this. The cauliflower steak was also pretty tasty. The cocktails are excellent, we tried the BLACKPINK and my mother tried the espressotini and we were really happy with both. I don't know how popular their bar scene is, but I imagine it would be a nice way to meet other vegan and vegetarian folks over light bites. Our waiter Daniel made sure to give us the Mother's Day special dessert the restaurant had created, which was an avocado Grenache with fresh berries. If the experience had started with less stress, this review would be five stars, but I'm very grateful to the staff for doing what they could to correct it and ensure that we had a great Mother's Day! I would love to visit again and update my review :)

Sure, their price point was on the high side, but even a cursory review of the ingredients made me recognize the focus on quality was not a one-off. Riding the N-Judah MUNI line westward, I passed by this particular location often and stopped by for a quick lunch. I must've forgotten how big their salads were because I was overwhelmed by the size of the bowl for the $19.95 Thai Chicken Salad. It was quite a fresh and satisfying mix between the thin slices of chili-lime Mary's chicken, carrot, snow peas, cabbage, scallion, herb mix, peanuts, sesame seeds, crispy wonton strips, and house romaine, all tossed with peanut-sambal dressing (Photo 10). I couldn't finish it, not even close. Further illustrating my lack of common sense, I ordered the $4.25 side of French Fries which came piled in a slightly smaller bowl (Photo 9). They were tasty but a lot. I ate upstairs where I found myself in solitude. They had takeout boxes next to the utensils, so I ended up packing away most of the food in two containers. They kindly gave me a bag on the way out.
