Pork belly sando
Scott F.

5/5: The pork belly sando is legit. the skins is just right; crispy but not tough. Just enough grease. 3/5: I was not a fan of the empanadas. Not enough beef, and it has a heavy sweet/sour flavor profile. Grab a sando here and head over to the Plough and Stars Irish bar; they are BYO. As a bonus, the 44 muni bus has a stop right outside the door.

Beef Empanada

Best baked beef empanada I've ever had!! The crust is honestly my favorite part. It's slightly sweet, savory, and the texture is like a flaky shortbread. Most places make theirs either too plain or greasy. Whenever I have a craving for empanadas, I think of this place! Beef is tender and the ratio to crust is perfect! Came on a Saturday this time and it came with free coffee. Hope more people discover them!

Tal cual lo que vez en la foto.... Super Rico :)

Muy buena la comida. Me encanto muy rico desayuno. MAs Que Feliz :) recomendado. Las empanadas muy ricas. Todo super bien. Comenzando con la super atención. Gracias!!!!!

Delicious! I stopped by Gery's this afternoon while driving through the neighborhood. I was craving a sandwich, saw that these were Peruvian sandwiches and had to stop. I unfortunately stopped by right before they closed and they were pretty much sold out of everything. BUT The owner super sweet, offered me the chicken sandwich and the last veggie empanada. I was going to come back another time but I decided to take her up on it. It did not disappoint. The veggie empanada, so good! Very flavorful and probably the BEST puff pastry I've had in SF. The pastry is sweet, soft, and dense and just the right amount to balance the grilled veggies inside. I usually don't get veggie empanadas I go for chicken or beef but I loved these. I'll be back to try all of them. The chicken sandwich is the perfect size, tasty and on a freshly baked roll, it also has these little string crispy potato like things (?) that added crunch to the sandwich which I loved. It's a cold sandwich and great for a warm day. I also tried the chicha morada and loved it! Sweet but not too sweet and not over powering with the cinnamon. It's one of my all time favorite drinks. I will definitely be back try more. I should have come earlier in the day, however I'm glad I didn't leave and tried some of the items on the menu. It's a cute, quant, deli that fits just a few. But loved the vibe, owner and the staff, so kind and friendly. It's only been open for 6 weeks, you have to try this place out! Also did I mention great prices?! :)

A delicious bakery/Peruvian food cafe just opened in the Inner Richmond. It's on a not very high traffic 6th Ave between California and Clement. If you are like me and need to visualize by other restaurants or landmarks, it's located across the street from Mandalay and where Not Latte /Ha Tea used to be. It's more of a store front with maybe a small table with 2 chairs outside. The baker/owner is a very lovely and gracious woman. We visited for the first time yesterday and enjoyed some delicious anise bread. We also enjoyed the braised pork sandwich. Slightly dry pork but with the accompanying hot sauce, it was delicious! Also the decaf latte was yummy. She mentioned that on weekends, she will start offering Peruvian food, not just Sandos, so we can't wait to come back to try some new things.

Walking into this cafe I fell, I fell in love with the Peruvian decor. Aside from this, the food was great -- I had a steak sandwich and chocolate cake, which were both great. The bread for the sandwiches was freshly out the oven. The service was overall good.

Such a yummy pork tamale!
Matty C.

Best tamales I've had in a long time! A very cute and tiny neighborhood gem with delicious options and friendly service. Geraldine was so kind and personable and offered to warm up my tamale. I just wolfed down that tamale now--it was packed with flavor and blew me away! Can't wait to eat the chicken one too...I'm so lucky to live nearby this place and I will definitely be back!

Pan con chicharron.
Latte Queen W.

Had a lovely experience here at this tiny Peruvian sandwich shop. There's very very little seating, just FYI! Pan con chicharron was delicious, not too heavy and the pork was perfectly cooked, not oily. The bread on the sandwich really stood out to me...incredibly fresh, light, and crispy. The house made hot sauce was very spicy and delicious as well. Service was lovely!! Quick, friendly, thoughtful (Gery asked if I wanted onions on my sandwich since I hadn't clarified when ordering). Definitely plan to come back and try other sandwiches, tamales, and the desserts including the alfajores and passion fruit cheesecake. Wishing Gery's much success here for many, many years to come!

The bartender is TOP NOTCH, genuine and very helpful with ideas, and what you might enjoy not only on the menu, but if visiting. His name is Luis...Great personality! If you stay a while, they might even let you get inventive with the food and try to customize things. :-) I may try a few of Luis' suggestions around town! While La Mar maybe the popular spot, this spot does NOT hold back in giving its punches of flavor and in general a great experience!

Our waitress was incredibly friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, making the entire experience even more enjoyable.

We loved this place so much we dined here for dinner two days in a row! We were in town over the…read moreweekend for the Pokemon World Championships, and by the end of the first day, we were famished. Fortunately for us, El Dorado was conveniently located a block away from Moscone South (yes, I had my eye on the restaurant ahead of time and had made a reservation). The first night, Jorge greeted us warmly and walked us through the menu. The restaurant's vibe is neighborhood casual, though still appropriate for a date night or nice family outing. We wanted to try a little bit of everything, so we ordered the ceviche trio, the empanada sampler, and the pescado frito, which is a pan-seared red snapper entree. For dessert, we had the churros and mango mousse cake. Everything was delicious, and our favorites were the original ceviche, the veggie empanada, the fish, and the mango mousse cake. For drinks, we ordered the chicha morada and pisco sour - both refreshing and yummy! Jorge was also our server, and service was excellent throughout dinner. We enjoyed everything so much and joked about dining here again tomorrow. Pretty sure Jorge did not take us seriously! The second night rolled around, and I couldn't stop thinking about the veggie empanada and pisco sour... so we dined at El Dorado once more! We did not have a reservation this time, and thankfully the restaurant had a couple of open tables. We told the host (not Jorge; sorry, I forgot your name!) we had dined with them last night, and he chuckled. Pretty sure he thought we were kidding! This time our server was Ayduri, who was very sweet and attentive as well. We got a full order of the veggie empanada, the shrimp causa (kind of like a tart potato salad with shrimp), the churrasco entree, and their seafood pasta special. For dessert, the chocolate cake. Another chicha and a maracuya (passionfruit) sour this time. All the items delivered - especially the churrasco, which came perfectly medium rare, just like we requested. And, to our pleasant surprise, the dessert was on the house, because we dined there twice in a row! All in all, El Dorado is a gem in SOMA. Granted, I do not venture into SOMA often, so my palate only knows so much. But I'm confident you'll find something to love here. And chances are we'll be back again the next time we're in the city.

It was filled with hot caramel and paired with cold, bittersweet chocolate for dipping -- such a good combination. Everything we had was delicious, and we'll definitely be back!

Huge portions and delicious Peruvian food! $28 Lomo Saltado 8.5/10 The sauce is perfectly salted to eat with the rice and frites. Majority of the tenderloin was tender. Love the onions and tomatoes complimenting with more flavors to the dish. $24 Ceviche Mixto 8/10 A lot for one person but can't complain! Definitely a 2-3 person appetizer. Perfect starter since I was craving for ceviche. Fish was nicely tender. Nice chunky size for a nice bite. Everything tasted fresh. Slightly a little more acidic than I liked but I enjoyed it.

We had to flag them down a few times; they came by to take our order and deliver our food. We all ordered our own items. I got the Avocado Crabwich. I switched it to Dutch Crunch. It had a lot of flavor, which masked the crab. A mix of sweet and savory, but it wasn't as memorable. The portion was decent, but I wish it were a bit bigger for the price. My colleagues seemed to enjoy their items. Mixto Latin Cuisine is a spot in the Outer Sunset for Latin American cuisine. I wouldn't go out of my way for it, but if you're in the neighborhood, it's fine to stop by. You'll find them off Judah Street, with street parking nearby.

There is a nice selection off the main menu for Happy Hour 4-6pm. Providing an opportunity to sample one or more of the menu items as an appetizer. I chose the mussels with garlic bread, as good ones are not found easily. The portion was quite ample, and the sauce I dipped my nice crunchy garlic bread in was very flavorful, warm and delicious. I also tried the plantains which were cooked perfectly; not too mushy with a perfect char, and the sweet onions on top were also tasty. Paired with a very tangy dipping sauce. All the flavors came together well. My husband ordered the Cantina burger which he enjoyed down to the last bite. Our daughter also sampled off the smaller menu with Lomo Empanadas and the Chicharron de Pollo which she reported were both very nicely prepared. Will, our server gave us excellent recommendations which we availed ourselves of. The bill for 4 items plus the burger, a side of rice, and a ginger beer came to just under seventy dollars, which was a reasonable price. I would definitely give the food five stars, and the restaurant four as it's a long and lengthy bar with a few tables for two. The majority of the seating is in the back with two flat screens and an open kitchen. I can imagine how loud this place can get. We went at the perfect time: not a lot of customers so we received excellent individualized service from Will. I would hope to be able to return next time we visit GG Park and sample some more menu items like the Peruvian Paella which sounded very promising.

It's so 'potato', as a potato lover I appreciate how minimally processed it is. It's not mashed or mixed with flavorings, it's really just a perfectly cooked potato with a drizzle of sauce. I don't think the potato will blow anyone's socks off but I really liked it :) Service is very friendly, it's giving family owned vibes. The interior is festive with lots of Peruvian decorations and there's a cute faux grass welcoming mat outside to set the mood. Overall I recommend this place! I think it's a great spot especially because there's plentiful parking and nothing compatible in the immediate surrounds.

Their happy hour is on weekdays from 4-6 PM. They have cocktails for $12, beer and wine ranging from $6-$10, and they also have some small bites and sushi on their happy hour menu. We ordered their spicy tuna roll, which was really good! The tuna tasted super fresh. We also tried their yucca fries, and while the fries themselves were good, the huancaína sauce that came with them was pretty bland. It honestly didn't have much flavor, which was disappointing because I feel like a good sauce would have made the fries even better. For drinks, we tried their Coca Chilcano from the happy hour menu, and that was really good. I also ordered a Tito's with pineapple juice, which was good too. No complaints about the drinks! The only thing that bothered me was an issue we had with one of the bartenders. We had also ordered their Karaage Pollo, but after waiting for a while, another bartender came over and asked if we were still waiting on anything. We told him we were waiting for the chicken, so he went to check and came back to tell us that the order had never been put in. He was really nice about it and offered to put the order in for us. What bothered me was that the original bartender told us we never ordered it, but I know for a fact that we did. I understand mistakes happen, especially when you're busy, and I wouldn't have even made a big deal about it. But the fact that she didn't apologize or even offer to put the order in was what bothered me. A simple "I'm sorry, let me put that in for you" would have been enough. It just felt like she was putting the blame on us instead of acknowledging that the order was missed. Aside from that, the rooftop itself is BEAUTIFUL! The view of the city is honestly what makes this place worth visiting. You get such a nice view of San Francisco, especially while sitting up there enjoying a drink. The whole place has a really nice vibe, and it's a great spot to just hang out and enjoy the city. We actually loved the view and atmosphere so much that we ended up going back a second time during our stay! Overall, I would definitely recommend checking out Kaiyo Rooftop, especially for happy hour. The drinks were good, the spicy tuna roll was delicious, and the views were amazing. The service could have been better, but other than that, we really enjoyed the place and would definitely come back when we're in San Francisco again!

This is also the type of spot my company would routinely take us to when I was working in Finance in the city, in exchange for endlessly grueling days working us into an early grave. But hey, how about that nightlife! I digress. Fun environment, with the obvious draw of a rooftop bar overlooking the SF skyline. We've been in both during the day and at night, and it's been a fun vibe each time. The menu is sushi rolls, ceviches, and a variety of other small plates of Japanese/Peruvian-fusion inspiration. I wouldn't go here for a full meal, but it's great for lighter bites and cocktails. Speaking of cocktails, they have a solid menu of yummy tropical libations, as well as traditional cocktails, sake, wine, and beer. Pricey, but that's SF for you nowadays. Upbeat music. Service was friendly and we were checked in on by our server despite it being quite busy. Fun spot for people-watching, and a good spot for pre or post-dinner drinks.
