    Soft Tacos
    Tatiana N.

    Absolutely delicious tacos! My beer - the Jerry Garcia tribute brew - was the perfect compliment. The staff was really fun and the indoor atmosphere is great while the outdoor seating is comfortable and scenic.

    Pretzel
    Tracy B.

    Food was awful. My nachos came out very cold. My pretzel was hard and not as soft. You have to scan the menu and order your food and beer. Then someone will finally bring your items. We waited over 30 minutes for our food to come and it was cold. Never saw a server at all. There was a party going on at the restaurant next to us and they were ordering beer here. The beer is good here. But, the service for people who are dining here. My experience here was not good at all. Don't know if I'll come back.

    New favorite pre-concert/pre-game spot. Very good empanadas, great small bites like giant pretzels, very generous pours, and great views. Even a TV they roll outside for other games.

    Coming to Thrive City before a concert, we found the shortest line here to get a bite. Though the dining room tables were full, the line to order food and drinks was relatively short. There were only four people ahead of us with two order stations open. We quickly learned that the soft tacos were sold out so we pivoted. After ordering, we went to the outdoor seating area and found a high top table next to a window. My companion saw a high top open up inside so we moved there after a five minute wait. The cashier gave a pager unit, told us the expediting station location, and that the food would take about 15 minutes. The customer flow was steady but not overwhelming. About 20 minutes later, our pager lit up so I called to the expediting station. A gentleman in a ski hat placed our food on a tray and pointed to a table with utensils and napkins. I tried the ham and cheese empanada (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=IAd9tOYiG-w-hkGpwpEXEQ) which was warm and cake with dipping aioli; the filling (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=IC7hO0VeY_LeFl1iQR3UNQ) was clean and simple yet tasty. I dipped it into the aioli but preferred it without it. We shared the nachos with pork (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=d4MdZ-KHa-6FxfLgqcxz-A) which was a generous portion of tortilla chips topped with shredded pork, cheese sauce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, and pickled jalapenos. It was an interesting mix of textures and flavors. My friend feared the spiciness of the jalapenos which I found more pickle-y than spicy. The kind cashier pointed us to the water station in the far right corner (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=bRARP7KgvtNIWnMbMpX2eA) since we both aren't beer drinkers. This was a nice munchy meal since we didn't want to be too full before dancing to Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. If you're a beer drinker or prefer Mexican cuisine, this is a good option and the wait was not long.

    Solid place to grab a craft beer before an event. Lots of seating inside and outside. I have had both their IPAs and am a fan. They also have guest taps such as Barebottle available. There are food options as well. I had an empanada which wasn't bad.

    3.5 stars. This place was POPPIN' right before the Chase Center concert I went to! Came here with friends and got lucky snatching up a table outside as others were leaving. I tried some guest brew Double IPA I didn't really care for. Lively vibes overall and a great option if you want to be outside along the water. Meh about the beer itself, though.

    Sour beer ($11)
    Shelby S.

    What a cool spot! We were headed to the Chase Center for a concert and decided to grab a drink here beforehand. It was packed! We were there on a Friday night and couldn't get a table for a while, so stood and enjoyed the outdoor area. They have a good selection of drinks to choose from. I chose the sour and it was SO good! Several people were eating a meal here, so they do have food too. You order at a counter and then take a seat. The staff working were really friendly and the location is awesome- it definitely got chilly hanging outside here at night. My niece was able to order a mocktail that she enjoyed too.

    Harmonic got great beer and they have food and snacks as well. We came here on a non-game night for a quiet evening. The space is beautiful and they have board games, views and did I say great beer?! Of course there's a completely different vibe and energy during games and events too. Either way, the bay view is always there - beckoning us. Food wise - both the tacos and empanadas were tasty and a bit small for our appetite. Prices are much more reasonable than inside the arena and average for SF prices. Will be back :)

    IPA and the bay
    Alex D.

    The beer selection was great, and the ambience of the place was also great. The balcony views of the bay were incredible and I would definitely have a beer here again.

Even after cooling down, my mushroom empanada was phenomenal. The pastry was beautifully flaky without being dry, and the filling was packed with flavor while remaining well-balanced and not overly salty. Other members of our group were equally impressed with their choices, including the beef, shrimp, and ham-and-cheese varieties. If the empanadas were this good after sitting for a while, I can only imagine how incredible they are fresh out of the oven. Honestly, one was not enough! I'd gladly order a few more the next time I'm in the area.

    Why 5 stars? Because despite a few non-ideal circumstances, it was very worth the visit…read more --- --- --- After eating lunch nearby, I had one final stop to make here for coffee and dessert, before I headed to SFO. The issue is that I was definitely pushing it on time if I planned on making my flight. As I was driving here, I had the thought that if there was an annoying parking situation or a line, I would just have to pivot and forego patronizing. But as it turns out, there was one spot available right next to the front door and no one inside. But then when I requested a nitro, the owner (I assume?) was extremely apologetic that their coffee machine broke. I asked for a few alternate types of coffee, but it turned out said machine controlled it all. So we shifted to the pastries. I read on the website that they had something with guava, so I asked for two of those: one for me, one for the wife. He even offered to heat mine up, which I will say yes to 100% of the time. I then jumped back in the car and was back into "don't' miss your flight mode." Of course, when you're in a hurry, you manage to hit every red light along the way, so I was doing a lot of yelling at electricity and God. But then I figured I might as well take the time to try the pastry that I'd originally planned on eating on the plane. As it turns out, it brought me into a nearly immersive experience of zen. The only bad thing is that I devoured it within seconds and then it was merely a thing of the past. My wife is fortunate that I have the amount of integrity that I do because I am sitting on the plane as I write this and I could easily inhale that 2nd pastry with her being none the wiser. If you're reading this, wife, remember that you hit the spousal lottery.

We had never come here prior, thinking it was only a bakery. I love breakfast sandwiches, and the pan con todo falls in that category. It's eggs, black beans, cheese, and crema on a French roll. There is a selection of meats (or plantains if you're vegetarian) that you can add to it. I've tried them all and will vary my order, but my favorites are the carne asada and the pork adobada. It also comes with a side of hot sauce that has a surprising kick. The balance of ingredients is just right. Universal is now a regular in our neighborhood takeout lunch rotation. The price is quite reasonable too, between $7-$10 depending on filling choice. They have a bunch of other breakfast plates, lunch entrees, tortas, etc as well. I've thought about trying something else but the lure of the pan con todo sucks me in every time. Plus I'm typically getting takeout which these are perfect for. They also obviously have a variety of baked goods available too.

He was genuinely kind, and we ended up having a great conversation about his garden, his house in Buenos Aires, and his country Argentina. That kind of personal connection is something you don't always get when you're grabbing lunch. Great food. Great prices. Very welcoming.
