The location is pretty random but the food slapped! My friend and I got 2 different burritos to share, and they were both good but the Fish Burrito was amazing! They let me add pico and jalapenos onto it for no extra charge too :) The interior is more grungy vibe and dimly lit, so nice for a casual hangout with friends. I loved that they had malt vinegar and valencia hot sauce as well! read more

Really enjoyed my visit here! Food was great and vibes were fun. Like many others, I came to Garaje for a quick bite before the Giants game. Lots of people had the same idea so it does get busy. They limit sitting time to 40 minutes before games. My S.O. and I shared the Cali Steak Zapato which was SO GOOD! Will definitely come back for another. Inside reminds me of a dive bar. Almost missed the unassuming entrance when walking by. If you're hard of hearing, this place may be difficult to talk and hear in because of the music. Parking is tough. I recommend walking or taking the bus which has a stop right in front. read more

I don't know whether it was what I ordered, or if this place has just gone downhill since I started reading about it on Yelp years ago. I finally made it to Garaje and it was not all that. Yes, it did have a true garage vibe, but the tacos were average. I had two chicken street tacos, and one steak. They weren't bad. They just weren't very good. Maybe I'm spoiled because I go to Baja a lot. But there are a lot of great tacos around the Bay these days. I appreciate that they use fresh ingredients. The tacos weren't smashing though. That's my only reason to eat a taco. But then again, I'm a guy who watched some episodes of the Taco Chronicles more than once. But I'm not trying to trying to hate on this place. It's perfectly fine and strikes me as good place to go if your primary mission is drinking and your secondary mission is eating. And at least the tacos aren't too expensive. read more

Omg. Their zapatos, pretty much chunky burritos are addicting! I come here once a month. It's reasonably close to my work, and as long as my colleagues are looking to indulge here, we come! Sometimes we balance it out with a healthier option lol. Worst case, I come solo. Pro tip, order ahead if you're in a rush and/or don't want to wait for your order. During lunch time wait times are longer. Everything is good btw, but Zapatos are best! read more

my favorite mexican food spot in the city. from the outside, the restaurant really does look like a garage (it's honestly easy to miss), which makes the ambiance feel even more special. the interior is uniquely designed to transport you to a cars-land-meets-dive-bar for adults. there's even pieces of street signs and license plates all over the walls!! i get the zapatos every time (think quesadilla meets burrito), and it's simply blows me away with every bite. my absolute favorite is the 1995 O.G. zapato. and let me tell you, they call it OG for a reason. i've tried about 4 zapatos so far on the menu, but the OG's exquisite combination of steak, guacamole, fries, and BBQ sauce propels it to the tippy top where no other zapato comes close. another favorite of mine is the surfer vero zapato, which features shrimp and guacamole. this was the very first zapato i've ever tried from garaje, and one bite instantly sold me to the place. and i keep coming back since. each zapato is about $18, and is packed with protein and fries and flavor. honestly a decent price for the value and size of the meal. lines do get long, but very quick service! come here if you like to be blown away from good food :) read more

Popular and delicious Mexican restaurant in SoMa. I got there right before it opened, and a line had already formed! You order at the counter and then seat yourself. The line moves fast and the food came out pretty quick as well. They have a wide range of options, from tacos to Zapatos (riceless burritos) to burgers. We tried a variety of items, and I would recommend them all. If you like shrimp, then you should definitely get the Surfer Vero Zapato! read more

This place has a good dive vibe and is conveniently located for those who work around FiDi/South Beach. More importantly, the zapatos (grilled burritos) are fire. Very juicy and filling, with plenty of guac and meat and sauce to go around. We had a bunch of different ones (steak, fish etc) and while they didn't taste drastically different, they were all good. They also had a good beer selection. Fun to come with a group to chat and eat! read more

Not bad tacos as they're actually super big but despite their size, the taste, cost and value are mediocre. Tasted like any other taco but at steep prices. I'd order main entrees here, specifically the Zapatos. It's pretty loud here so be ready to repeat yourself to your peers. I like that all the prices are rounded to the nearest dollar. Cali Steak Zapato - I saw this being mentioned many times so I had to get it. Plus, when in Cali, you get Cali things. Avocado makes this entree super creamy and the steak was tender. Fries inside didn't add much, but the avocado steak duo was phenomenal. Fries - I guess they were alright. Could use more salt. Nice side but other things are callouts here. read more

Hello world, now say hello to Garaje. This place is the real deal. The menu is off the chain. You literally want to eat everything but you can't. Or can you? A beautiful Mexican and American fusion type of deal. The burger was top tier and deserves to be ranked against the other best burgers in the city. I did this delivery so I have to give it a fair chance in person. They have these things called Zapatos. Shows how much I really know about food because I thought I was ordering a shoe (english for Zapato). I'll eat this shoe any day of the week. Just a brilliant idea. It's like a burrito but only the good stuff and excluding like the rice and beans and all that extra fluff. That's how a burrito should be in a perfect world. Sorry if that offends anyone. There is a number of other things I have to try. Garaje is not only delicious in what I ordered, but now I got to figure out if this is one of the real deal foodie havens in all of SF. See you soon in the Garaje. Man my Spanish is so good. (4.8 Stars) read more

This place has been one-of-a-kind for over a decade now. It's a must-visit if you find yourself in the city. This place isn't a traditional Mexican American eats place. Per the name and the decor of the place, I think what they're after is the kind of fast food shops you'd find in SoCal or the Bay Area that are often near auto garages as well. I dunno - that's what springs to mind in my head. But as you look around the place it'll become clear that while the design is clearly an ode to some passions of the founder, the presentation is a bit more tasteful than just your average burger shack. The real draw of Garaje is the food and all of it is delicious. Tacos, Burgers, and their own Zapatos, a pressed burrito kind of thing, are all fantastic. Even the Mermaid taco, a veggie creation using auliflower as the base, is good enough to make you not have FOMO for getting something with meat. The all star here forever has been their carne asada fries and to this day it's difficult for me to visit without getting an order of these for the table; they are the perfect end product of this love affair for the old school mexican american taco and burger shack. They have a bunch of good beers on tap too, and a more smoothy-like sangria that's very refreshing. Note this place gets incredibly busy at lunch so come before 12pm if you actually want to grab a seat in here during the hour. read more

Came here with a few friends, and the rock vibe was interesting, with dark lights and signs and various decorations. They also had some Christmas rock music playing since we came a few days before Christmas. I ordered the Steak Zapato and Baja Fish Taco. The Steak Zapato gave off a Taco Bell crunch wrap vibe, minus the crunch. It was creamy, mainly tasting of steak and avocado. I felt it could've used a fresh salsa or lettuce and something with crunch. I would have really liked some spice too, and I guess there was supposed to be salsa or sauce, but our table didn't have a bottle so I didn't know at the time. The Baja Fish Taco had two massive pieces of fish, super crispy, but it taste like it might've been fried a bit too long. More sauce would've been nice; it tasted better with one piece of fish rather than two. My friends tried other zapatos and seemed to enjoy them. Overall, it's a decent spot. I'd probably order different items next time and make sure to get the sauce. The taco, though, is a good deal if you're after a sizable portion. read more

Garaje might be something you miss the first time around. On the outside you'll notice a subtle difference compared to its neighbors on both sides. A huge "not for everyone but everyone welcome" sign. Hey, at least you know what you're getting into right? Walk though the doors and you will realize the sign is accurate...in terms of ambiance. You are greeted by loud, music blasting. If you came here to have a conversation, you will have to get through all the yelling you will have to do across the table. Order your food at the other end of the room and sit anywhere you want. Now; these portions are huge which is 100% great because you get just what you paid for. My advice? Great for sharing so make sure you come on an empty stomach. Prices are fairly decent and would I come back again - oh heck yeah. There is limited seating so be mindful of that. A client actually took me here and although we did not get to talk too much business, we did enjoy and have full tummy's after. I ordered the chicken sandwich and she also ordered a burger and we ordered nachos to share. Those nachos were so filling that we could have just ordered that and been set. The food coma definitely hit me as soon as I made it back into the office. Cannot wait to come back again. read more

A nice food forward pub. A good fusion of latin (mexican) and other cuisines (asian, american). I ate with five others and their crab melt was amazing, I had their fish and chips which was a huge portion of nicely breaded fish and crisp fries. There isn't much of a service component, but all employees are friendly and seem truly happy while their booths and floors are clean and I like their no frills wacky interior.

It has been about three years since I last visited. The price of the Baja fish taco went up to $10, but I feel it might have gotten bigger. In any case it's the size of two fish tacos from anywhere else. The batter on it was a cross between tempura and fish and chips. The El Camino was good but I didn't care for the amount of guac they included. That's just a personal preference. read more

Garaje is a great casual spot that offers a wide selection of Mexican food as well as burgers and fries. There's also a decent selection of beer on tap and sangria. I recommend getting the zapato, which is a riceless burrito wrapped in a crispy pressed tortilla. I've tried almost all the different types of zapatos on the menu over the years. My favorite is the Cali steak zapato because all the ingredients in it go so well together. The steak is tender, while the pico de gallo and avocado really bring out the flavors and juiciness of the meat. I'm not even usually a fan of fries, but it surprisingly works very well in this burrito! read more

The food is always good and flavorful - a zapato is a unique, delicious twist on the burrito form factor. Exciting! The food is the reason to go and also the only reason to sort of put up with the place. The staff are a bit insufferable. Rude and inflexible. The music is played intentionally too loud in a hostile stance towards the diner's experience. It is not a pleasant experience inside. Forget about having a conversation with a friend. You'll want to leave as soon as possible to get away from the sonic assault. Garaje's website says it's open until 9:00PM, but the staff won't serve you after 8:15/8:30, so they can go home by 9:00 - so it's not really open until 9:00 and they should just publish that fact. You get the feeling it's a business that has become complacent and that has designed its operations to optimize for itself and its staff. They arent really trying to make customers all that happy anymore. If there was any decent burrito place nearby, Garaje would likely be in a modicum of trouble. But that area is a food desert and Garaje is allowed to slip by on its reputation and hence its ability to treat customers like they are nothing to worry about. It's too bad as it could be amazing. read more

It's such a fun place to go if you're looking for some food + drinks. There's also tvs set up all around the place, so it's a good place to go to watch the game.

I was looking for a place to grab a quick bite before joining some friends at Oracle Park for a Giants game, and I had seen that Garaje recently made some SF list about best places for a bargain eat. But the thing is, unlike a lot of places, reading Yelp reviews about this place didn't help a whole lot; that is, people either loved the tacos, zapatos, or burgers, but there appeared to be little consensus about which was the best. All of this to say, you probably have to go try these out for yourselves. The ambiance is divey, in a good way: a little dark, but with a solid selection of beers on tap in addition to the food, and cozy booths and very cool concert posters. Remember to go to the counter to order food, and they'll bring it out to you. Based on Yelp reviews, I ordered a Surfer Vero (shrimp zapato, or grilled, pressed burrito) and a seared ahi taco. For me, the seared ahi taco was the star. The thick piece of seared ahi, with some cabbage and a delicious chimichurri with a slight kick hit all the right notes. The zapato, while OK, was not nearly as flavorful. Next time, I think I will order 2-3 seared ahi tacos (but keep in mind they are $8 each). The location is a fun place for food and beer and you can watch sports on the TVs as well. It's just a short walk from Oracle Park, so a good place to pregame. This will definitely go on my list of go-to places when I'm in the area again. read more

Thanks to Yelp I was able to find Garaje, a lowkey, locals-only, restaurant. As the name suggests, Garaje is car/garage themed. Place your order at the counter, grab your number, and enjoy watching the game as your food is brought out to your table! Tacos are more expensive ($8-9) than I expected for such a casual spot but they weren't kidding when they said they're big/huge! 1 taco would suffice for most, and 2 if you're extra hungry! The OG Zapato ($16) alone was big enough for us to share! Not knowing this we ordered Como se Llama (chicken), the Grilled Mojo, the Baja Fish AND the OG Zapato. My favorite of the 3 tacos was the Grilled Mojo: grilled tilapia, cilantro lime mayo, cabbage, and a healthy dose of avocado. The Como se Llama chicken was a good chicken taco but nothing extraordinary. Surprisingly, the Baja Fish taco was fishy. It was my least favorite although bf enjoyed it. Their Zapatos ($9-18) are "riceless burritos," crispy tortilla, cheese, and the filling. The OG Zapato was carne asada, chips, bbq, jalapenos, crispy tortilla strips, avocado, and pico de gallo. BBQ with carne asada is a unique pairing and it worked, although I think I would have preferred it without BBQ. The green salsa was spicier than most and definitely got my nose running! Our dinner ran us about $50-60 which is significantly higher than your average street tacos in Phoenix but maybe the norm in San Francisco? For me, Garaje is a San Francisco 4 but a Phoenix 3; it just can't compare to our street tacos! read more

Pricy for a burrito but worth! I got the maverick zapato and really loved the crunch of the crab and fries + the softness of whole mashed avocado, which works better than guac imo. The crab portion was also generous and I felt the meal was balanced and not too greasy or fatty. The beer selection was large and there's something for everyone. 5/5 for food but $18 for a burrito is kind of steep - even the non seafood ones are about that. Guess that's SF for you :) I'd come back to try other stuff on the menu if I was in the area. read more

Best fried chicken sandwich I've had in a while! I know people come here for the burrito type foods but please try the chicken sandwich! It was a huge piece of tender chicken on a buttery bun, with lettuce tomato and pickles and a nice sauce. Crispy and fresh and perfect amount of food for lunch. I was not stuffed nor hungry after. To get a table you must come at 12 when they open. Very long lines as soon as they open. A decent amount of tables inside and wait for food was not that long.

I was so excited to visit but was unfortunately very disappointed by Garaje. It was quite difficult to find this place! The storefront blended in with the dark alleyway / gated walls. I visited with a friend on a not-as-busy-as-I-was-expecting Friday night around 6pm, and the ambiance was amazing entering the restaurant. We lined up at the counter to order a steak zapato ($8), carne asada fries ($17), a beer ($9) and an ahi tuna taco ($8). We got our number and sat down at one of the empty tables, and got the fries and taco very shortly after (~10-15 min wait). It wasn't after quite a while of waiting longer for the zapato that I decided to check the receipt, realizing that the cashier hadn't actually added the zapato to our order. Cue us going to place the order again, and when we finally got to try everything, we realized how absolutely bland the food was. Everything looked so delicious and colorful, but ultimately there was a significant lack of seasoning or flavor to anything. My friend is a die hard fan of Mexican food, and we were both extremely disappointed that his first time trying Mexican food in the city was so subpar. The zapato barely had any steak - it was 65-70% bland beans, and the fries had cheese, guac, some scarce pieces of meat. If the goal was to make it as healthy (maybe?) as possible without any salt or pepper or seasoning, that was it. We ended up dousing everything in Tapatio and sriracha to try to get some flavor in. The ahi tuna taco was the only one that was not bad, but not sure I would pay $8 + tax for that again. I'd recommend this place for maybe just getting a drink or two with a big group of people, but the Mexican food is unfortunately very bland. read more

Is this a good place to take my parents for dinner? Will it be super rowdy?

This place is fine for taking your parents. Definitely not a rowdy crowd at all. At times it gets crowded so finding a seat can be a little challenging, but that's about it. Make sure to bring cash since that is all they take. Try the different… Read more

From start to finish, it had the whole room dancing, clapping and screaming with joy. You can tell how much work goes into these performances and it truly shows. The Harry Potter themed vibe is also super unique. The lighting, the artwork, and the overall atmosphere make this place stand out from your typical drag brunch. If you're a Harry Potter fan, this spot is a must. The food was fresh and delicious, but let's talk about Nate the bartender, super cool, kind and welcoming. He really brings great energy to the space. Definitely try the Love Potion, it's a standout. I'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend this place to everyone!

The themeing is so on point inside! Some of their drinks are interactive which adds on to the themes. My friend thought the wands were available for show and borrow and got charged $20 for the wand xD I gotta say the night we went, bartender was pretty slow... it almost felt like he forgot our order bc it would take a while and when finished making drinks it was actually another groups order. The bartender wasn't super busy either. The drinks were hit or miss, espresso martini they had on the menu is probably premade bc I asked to change the liquor and he said I wouldn't be getting the one that's on the menu. Tried the one on the menu and lowkey hated it, tastes watered down and bitter. Although I tried my friends "butterbeer" cocktail and omfg if you have to order something get that. It was so good. Drink costs were about $16-$18. For me, it was nice to try and a fun experience! But probably one and done ToT

The mushroom slice was good too, though I wanted more mushroom flavor. They did ran out of most slices pretty fast so come early. Love that you can get whatever toppings on the slices too. The french onion dip was unexpectedly spicy and tasty, lots of garlic (I think). It leaned a little salty but was a nice bite. Honestly the whole menu sounded good but I was happy with my choices and very stuffed. I also had the banana biscoff pudding which was yum. I got a spicy vodka pie to go too which was great but not as good as the slices there (not about reheating but the flavors seemed slightly different). It's a pretty huge pizza - the box literally would not fit in my fridge. Made for a solid lunch plus more leftovers in the freezer. I also got a salted brown butter cookie to go which was good but I've had better and prefer my cookies a little chewier. But it was a huge cookie for $3 in a city where smaller similar cookies can be $5 so I appreciated that. Lots of wine and beer options and I appreciated that they had a bunch of N/A options. Service was great and the I enjoyed my time there. I round up to 5 stars because of the overall experience.

The crust is my favorite part -- it's thin (but not too thin), savory, and almost focaccia-like. The vodka sauce on the stracciatella pizza is balanced, and ingredients taste super fresh. Paired with a draft beer, this makes for a super well-rounded meal :^ ) I was also surprised I liked the burger as much as I did. The burger comes with a generously portioned, juicy patty and is paired with piping hot and well-salted fries. Would easily make many more visits to this establishment!

Bar--beer, wine, order food and enjoy a great atmosphere.

I'm so glad we did, it instantly lived up to the curiosity. The vibe here is exactly what you want from a brewery. It's unique, cool, and laid-back, with plenty of character and a strong sense of community. It feels welcoming whether you're popping in for one drink or planning to hang out for a while. The beer selection is great, with a nice variety of styles to choose from. Everything we tried was well crafted and enjoyable, making it easy to find something that fits your taste whether you like lighter beers or something a bit bolder. The space itself really adds to the experience. There's a relaxed energy that makes it a great place to meet friends, take a break while exploring the neighborhood, or just enjoy a good beer in a comfortable setting.

There's also some outside patio seating in the front. - My wife and I split a flight of beer, which they provide in three 6 ounce pours. We especially liked their Hazy IPA, but the Oktoberfest was very good too. The bartender said their Kolsch is a bit of a classic, and we liked it too, but it wasn't a stand out to us. I later got a 10 ounce pour of their IPA and felt like that was the best of all. The best part is that you couldn't go wrong with any of the beers. - We got chips and guacamole from the taco truck guy located inside next to the bar...You pay by cash, and we got a big container of chips and a humongous couple of scoops of guac for $9. It was just what we needed to go with our beers! Bottom line: if we lived in the area, we'd go back to Standard Deviant for sure!

It strikes a great balance between laid-back and social without ever feeling overcrowded or chaotic. The beer selection is excellent, with a wide range of options that cater to just about every taste. Whether you're into crisp lagers, bold IPAs, or something a little more adventurous, there's plenty to choose from. Everything we tried was fresh and well poured, making it easy to enjoy more than one without feeling overwhelmed by the menu. One thing that really stood out is the food menu. There's a solid variety of options that pair perfectly with the beer, so it's not just a place to drink, it's a place to actually enjoy a full experience. The menu feels thoughtfully put together, with choices that are satisfying, shareable, and ideal for a relaxed beer hall setting. The Beer Hall delivers on all fronts: atmosphere, beer, and food. It's the kind of place you can casually stop into and end up staying longer than planned. Highly recommend if you're looking for a great beer selection, good eats, and a genuinely enjoyable vibe.

From the outside, The Beer Hall almost blended into its surroundings - I almost walked right by if it hadn't been for the neon "The Beer Hall" sign. The taproom is quite spacious and could accommodate several large groups; however, the night of our visit was relatively quiet, perhaps due to the cold weather. Since there weren't any large tables, our group spread out over three smaller tables. As people came and went throughout the evening, it was convenient that we could each order our own beer and food at the bar. I selected an IPA from Fieldwork, a local favorite, and the beer stayed cold and refreshing throughout the evening. The food menu was limited, but I was craving something warm and salty to pair with my beer. For nearly $10, the fries weren't cheap, but the plate was piled high with some of the best fries I've had in a while. They were served piping-hot alongside two dipping sauces - aioli and ketchup. My friends sitting around me couldn't resist them either, and the mountain of fries disappeared in record time. The servers at the bar were very friendly and checked in on our group often. We spent a few hours enjoying our conversation and beer, overall having a fun, laid-back evening.

Service at the window was just fine. Tap-to-pay with smart phone was easy. If I'd had more time, I may have tried the flights and some of food options that include Detroit-style pizza, salads, and a few pub snacks. The bier garten seating was plentiful and I could see hanging out there on a nice afternoon to listen to music, share a drink, or play a few rounds of table games. Note that you can't take your beer out of the park, so if you're planning to ride the gondola back down, you'll need to chug it before boarding.
