    Chicken Mole Poblano Dinner
    Ness S.

    Excellent food, unassuming ambiance, and friendly service. We came here for lunch and ordered their chicken mole poblano (outstanding), their birra tacos (delicious), and their fried plantains (they were cooked perfectly). Large portions, reasonable price, and very friendly server. I highly recommend this place!

    Tis The Season

    I love going here because of the delicous food served. You would have to come find out for yourself. If I can bring Mom here and she enjoys it a lot you would to. I had a special dish called Costillas de puerco en salsa asada. The following time I had Al Pastor Super Burrito and Mom had her favorite Carne Asada Quesadilla!!! The ambience is very welcoming, the staff is very friendly and attentive to customers as I observed. They would ask if I needed anything else or hows the food? This shows passion is what happens in the kitchen to the dining table.

    Fajitas plate
    Kevin P.

    Came in for dinner and was surprised on how warm the interior felt. I sat down near the kitchen and was able to see the chefs prep for food! The waitress was very kind and help when I asked for recommendations. When Sat, she brought out a bowl of chips and salsa! I ended up getting the mushroom empanadas, carne asada fajitas plate, and a watermelon Agua Fresca. I really enjoyed everything, very flavorful and fresh! Will be coming back when craving tacos!

    A real hole in the wall in the Tenderloin, and a gem for sure. My friend and I grabbed a late lunch at La Travesia. The service was great, I really appreciate how the server gave good recommendations! The space had plenty of seating and had cute decorations. The server brought chips and salsa to start. It took a while to get the food, but the portions were huge! I got the huevos rancheros with Al pastor, and my friend got chilaquiles with salsa verde. I was sooo happy with the large potion and how they used hella eggs. The avocado was fresh too. They serve "breakfast/brunch" all day so I was stoked for that. The refried beans with cheese were also good. The food wasn't too greasy at all. The Al pastor was seasoned well and had those sweet chunks of pineapple. I would def go back when I'm in the area!

    Birria stew is amazing!

    Birria was just as amazing as the service. A hidden gem in the city for sure! Definitely will be back

    Empanadas de huitlacoche
    Cynthia M.

    Everyone was friendly and attentive. We ordered a few things off the menu and everything was delicious! They had great music playing and I loved the decor. Truly felt like an authentic Latin restaurant.

    Great service, delicious food. A small, but great atmosphere. Would definitely recommend.

The restaurant has an upstairs as well. Our server was very nice and pleasant to speak with. Gave us some recommendations on the menu as well as drinks. We started with a cocktail and a glass of red wine. For our appetizer we had the Pulpo, coliflor and Hueso Asado. The pulpo which is octopus was nice and tender. Really delicious. The coliflor was okay. It was a little dense for me. The Hueso Asado was scrumptious, buttery and full of flavor, but half of a bone marrow was too small for an appetizer and only served with 4 small thin crostini. For entree we had the Ojo de Bife and Malbec short ribs. The Ojo de Bife which is the rib eye was delicious and grilled perfectly. The meat was not as tender, but the meat itself had a lot of flavor. The short ribs were excellent! Very tender and scrumptious. I would order this again. They should bring back the beef tongue or Lengua. I heard it is a must try. Anyway, we had a great time. It was a great atmosphere and love the vibe on this place. Would definitely come back!

    OMG SO GOOD! I didn't expect it to be so tasty! (We just needed a lunch spot that wasn't closing…read moreand didn't seem overhyped.) Stopped by after the farmer's market - and Cholita Linda's seemed like a great spot to try. The line was a bit hefty even at 2pm, but the sandwiches looked so good! We went with the baja fish taco and asado (Peruvian roast beef) sandwich with a strawberry agua fresca. Water is self-serve, and you get the buzzer thing to notify you of your food. I loved the sandwich so much - bread was tasty, meat was juicy and delicious, and I just mowed it down. I honestly wanted a papito too because steak and plantains sounds so good too - but stuck with asado and no regrets there too. (There'll be a next time right? :)) Absolutely would come back here despite the options available at the Ferry Building - wish there was a closer location in the Peninsula :)

    I was in the area with friends and we needed something that was quick with no fuss about seating…read moreand waiting. None of us had been here before but a quick Yelp search led us to this place. I got two baja fish tacos and a bottle of Sprite. My total came up to $14.01. The pricing is fair and actually much cheaper than other food establishments, especially in SF. The tacos were good, the fish was fresh and crispy. The batter was perfect. The salsa mixed with the crema, in my opinion helped to seal the flavor of the tacos. I filled up with the two tacos. I know that I will come back to get some more fish tacos in the future. But, also curious and wanting to try their carnitas. Next time for sure. We chose to sit outside to take advantage of the gorgeous weather California, well that the Bay Area is experiencing. It was unseasonably warm for a "winter" day in SF. The views are great, but be careful of the wandering seagulls lol. They love to eat at Cholita Linda too! :) We came on a Friday during lunch and it was relatively busy but we were able to place our order, get a buzzer and pick up our food quickly. The great thing about eating here is that you can take a stroll around the Ferry Building, window shop and maybe get some dessert as well in the other shops. Not to say that Cholita Linda doesn't offer dessert, they do, but I was stuffed and couldnt have a bite of anything else. Staff was super friendly and the place was clean. Loved the colors and the overall vibe of the location. My friends loved their food too. Girls lunch....success!!

    A wonderful gem in the north Mission…read more We arrived at Poc Chuc at around 7:40 on a Saturday to order some food to go. When we arrived the place was pretty empty, and the server was eager to help us. We put in our order to go and waited. But it does not end there, since we were waiting in the restaurant, the server brought us not only chips and salsa, but a few welcome drinks as well which were delicious. It was so kind of her to do that even if we were ordering to go. The food was also absolutely incredible. The tacos are $6 which originally shocked me, but once I got the taco I understood. They were very large, filled to the brim with rice and protein. I could barely get through one and a half. The tortilla is homemade and you can taste the quality. I got the Mole and Chicken Salsa and they were both so juicy, flavorful, and well seasoned. My other friends got the Poc Chuc (a classic pork dish) which got rave reviews. So excited to come back here and try more of the menu.

    SF Taco Tour '25…read more We've been to a few taco places for our tour, but Poc-Chuc takes the cake. Unique tacos you won't find anywhere else done with a level of quality you pray for when entering such a taco place. The staff was great, the fish taco was to die for, the habanero sauce was so hot and delicious I couldnt stop myself from eating it despite my screaming tongue. A beautiful experience at a beautiful restaurant. Will be recommending to friends- thanks poc-chuc!
