    Chilaquiles full order with cochinta pibil
    Caitlyn M.

    Great neighborhood breakfast/brunch/lunch spot! They have all the classics and some Mexican food. The service is also great, the staff are all very friendly and warm. That and the delicious food make me want to come back! I stopped by for a weekday lunch a little after 11am and was seated right away. You order and pay at the front register and they'll give you a number for the food for your table. It's a cozy spot so they probably have a wait during the weekends, I saw a clipboard with a waiting list outside. We got the pumpkin pancakes which were seasonal and a full order of the chilaquiles with cochinita pibil. The portions were massive! The pancakes were delicious, very fluffy and light. The chilaquiles were sooo good! Covered in sauce and still crunchy. Everything was so tasty! Definitely recommend this spot!

    My kid and I walked by this too many times to not stop in today. Customers service was a 10/10! So at tentative and didn't even have to ask for anything. They check in and showed us what was on the table. I got half of their chilaquiles and added sour cream and avocado 9/10, wish it was cruncher My kid got their breakfasts burrito with chorizo. She loved it! It was a fatty. But omgeez their Mexican coffee!!!! Was soooooo good. My kid and I loved it. It's sweet but good.

    Lucho's turned out to be one of those breakfast/brunch spots that completely exceeds expectations. We stumbled in around 10-11 a.m. on a Sunday morning and even though there was a wait of over 30 minutes (it honestly flew by as I explored the area).The setup is unique you order before being seated but given the wait time it actually works perfectly and gives you plenty of time to decide what to get. Let's talk about the star of the show: the chilaquiles. They were amazing hands down some of the best I've ever had. My group ordered them three different ways and every version was delicious. I went with the standard sauce added beans, cheese, and an over-medium egg PURE perfection. My boyfriend's version came with birria, cilantro, onion, sour cream, and beans. The portion sizes are generous (Lucho's definitely doesn't skimp). I ordered a half portion and it was just perfect leaving me full but not overstuffed. A full order could easily be shared between two people unless you're really hungry. I paired my meal with a café de olla, which was rich and the perfect complement to the meal. My boyfriend had a michelada and it was spot on flavorful, balanced, and refreshing. What really stood out beyond the food was the owner's presence. He was everywhere: greeting guests, helping with orders, serving, and checking in with tables. That kind of hands-on hospitality makes a huge difference and really adds to the warm, welcoming vibe of the place. If you're in the area, Lucho's is absolutely worth the wait. Between the incredible chilaquiles, generous portions, and genuine service this spot has earned a permanent place on my must-return list. Highly recommend!

    Heads up this place is small so expect a wait but it was worth it. The gal behind the counter was so nice and kept apologizing for the wait. The food was delicious and portions are good. You can definitely split a dishes and try multiple dishes.

    Chili Relleno
    Sally Y.

    Fantastic place for breakfast brunch or lunch in the outskirts of West Portal near 19th Ave and Ocean. We were met with friendly service and had seats right away, which is rare on weekends. Order at counter, grab a number to place on the table and get served Mexican inspired comfort food. I had a yummy Chili Rellenos and my daughter had a huge breakfast burrito which she could barely finish half at one sitting. (She ate the rest for dinner.) Small space with good ventilation, high ceiling and warm vibe.

    Brief Summary: - Most of the menu includes house habanero salsa - Kind and attentive staff - Wait time was around 30 minutes, depends on your waitlist timing - Indoor and outdoor seating available - Low spice tolerance, when mixed in a dish, I was able to eat the house habanero salsa without feeling overwhelmed by the spiciness (that is amazing) - Coffee was not sour Decided to eat here for brunch. Already there were a cluster of guests waiting at the door. The restaurant is small, where the kitchen takes most of the space, so there are limited amount of seats. Fortunately, there is outdoor seating, but there is still time to wait. For the young children, there are coloring books and crayons for them to draw while waiting in line, so there is a good deed of kindness for children and families. I did not view the menu until after we wrote our names into the waitlist. It was then I realized that most of the orders come with habanero peppers. How did I also not notice the little apostrophe on Lucho's is is a literal habanero (very cute). This turned out to be a feint startle, in which I'm still surprised about. One of my family members have stronger spice tolerance, so after some deciding they chose the Chilaquiles. I got the Polozé, and my other relative, who is also on the low spice tolerance, chose the 2 eggs any style dish. Yes, I took a bite of the Chilaquiles, and this was so surprising. I felt the spice, but it wasn't the intimidating painful spice that I have heard of from hot sauce stores. This was a delicate, a wonderful accent to boost the overall flavor of this dish. Wow, I was blown away, I can eat a dish with habanero pepper and I didn't drink down a whole cup of water; not even a sip. This restaurant has a cook with magic hidden in their sleeves. When I was deciding on what to order and was hesitant on ordering a dish with habanero, I was leaning between an avocado toast or the Pozolé, and I am so glad I chose the latter. I love soups, and this was absolutely delicious. First, each spoonful scoops up pieces of pork or vegetables. The broth is rich with pork and chilies, and this one wasn't spicy either. The staff were stars as well. Almost each one came by and asked how we were doing, checked for coffee seconds, and took away the eaten dishes. They were such lovely people and the food was truly amazing. This is a must-return restaurant to try other dishes. Next time, I'm more eager to try other dishes that have the house habanero salsa because now I know it's not going to be deadly spicy.

    This is my new favorite restaurant! The food was incredible--the chilaquiles were the best I've ever had, and the apple pancake was amazing. I loved that the apples were incorporated into the batter instead of just being placed on top. If you like your coffee sweet and cinnamon flavored, I highly recommend the Mexican coffee. My friend and I came for brunch on a busy Sunday morning. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. You wait in line until a table opens up, order at the counter, take a number, and your food is brought to your table. We even chatted a bit with the owner, Lucho--he's so kind and welcoming!

    Pineapple Upside Down Pancakes- Full Order (back) and FULL Chilaquiles (front)
    Serena P.

    visted luchos this sunday morning for brunch. we had previously came years ago and were excited to see if it was as good as we remembered. we put our name on the waitlist and the service was extremely friendly and helpful. we received menus and the specials menu as we waited for a table to become available. we placed our order at the counter and sat outside in the parklet since it was a nice day. we ordered the mexican coffee, house coffee, full order of chilaquiles with soyrizo, and the pineapple upside down pancakes. everything came out quickly and hot. nice touch with the insulated cups which kept our coffee hot. the food was delicious and came in large portions, perfect to share. we were informed about the 3 different hot sauces, all were tasty but our favorite was the jalapeno lime one. definitely will come by again for the great service and food!

    Breakfast Burrito
    John P.

    I stopped by because I was hungry and saw a lot of great reviews--especially about the breakfast burrito, which seemed to be a fan favorite among Yelpers. I went around 10 am on a Saturday, and the inside of the restaurant was already pretty busy, so I ended up sitting outside in their parklet. I ordered the breakfast burrito with cochinita pibil, which the cashier highly recommended as one of their most popular proteins. Service was great overall. The staff was friendly and attentive, and my food came out within 10-15 minutes, which was nice. As for the burrito itself... I was honestly surprised by all the hype. The flavors didn't really hit--it was pretty bland and not what I expected based on the reviews. If I do decide to return, I'll definitely be trying something else on the menu.

    Cochinita Pibil Benedict
    Dana S.

    This place is BOMB!! I realize I'm showing my age by saying that but I don't care, it's that good. This is one of those reviews that I almost don't want to leave because I don't want it to become crazy crowded with long-ass waits, which I imagine already happens if you come particularly on the weekend. We came on a Tuesday morning and there was a steady flow of guests that only increased in the short time we were here. It's not hard to see why. They have things on the menu like peach pancakes, cochinita pibil Benedict, empanadas, spicy fried chicken sandwich, and pozole! This place speaks to me! Like sometimes I don't want a side of toast, and yes! Sometimes i would absolutely love a taco instead. Well here you can have that! It's Mexican-American cuisine done right with so much love. Kelly, one of the owners, knew every ingredient in the cochinita, the carnitas, the hot sauces (there's 3 of them, all house made!), and was serious about the hollandaise sauce. I instantly loved her. She was warm, inviting, and her food speaks for itself. She gave us the rundown on the name of the restaurant which I thought endearing and only made me fall in love with this little gem even more. I had to order the cochinita pibil Benedict because it's cochinita with hollandaise sauce!! Both are my love language and now they're together!! This is the kind of cooking that is innovative, original, and comforting. Food that makes me feel good. The pork was savory deliciousness with perfectly poached eggs, and a hollandaise sauce I wanted to swim in. She was spot on with that hollandaise sauce. I take that sauce very seriously because it can make or break that whole dish. Frankly, there's a lot of restaurants that don't take it serious enough. Too many. If you can't make a good sauce or properly poached eggs then please do us all a favor and stop serving this dish. Luchos, please don't ever stop! The hot sauces on the table were excellent as well. My favorite being the dark red one. I think it was something with chipotle. This is the type of hot sauce you'd want to put on so many things. This restaurant is small but oh so charming. There is outside seating. Be prepared to wait if you come on the weekends and if there is a wait, do us all a favor, don't camp out. Ambrosia is right up the street for that. Thank you Kelly and staff for such a wonderful experience. This is my new favorite brunch spot. Keep up the great work. Your food and your hospitality inspire me.

    Eggs Benedict, sooo good! Around $23 8/15/25
    Elaine Y.

    For lunch I had the eggs Benedict which was soooo good, it came with some cubed potatoes $23 and the egg yolk was runny and tasted divine with the sauce, even when I got it home. This place is always busy and I am so glad it's in my neck of the woods. My go to for breakfast brunch or lunch in the neighborhood.

    Is the nearby parklet on Ocean Ave open to your patrons?

    Hi! Yes, the parklet is for our customers.

    What happened to your location in Marin?

    Hi, thank you for you question. Rising food costs, labor shortage and the gas prices commuting.,, just bad timing.

    Do you accept proof of vaccination with only one vaccination?

    Hi! That is a very good question. As per San Francisco mandate, we need proof of full vaccination, so either 1 dose of J&j or 2 doses of of Moderna or Pziser. We do however have a lovely outdoor space, and no vaccination is required.

    Does they take reservations?

    No, I am sorry, we do not.

    Is it cash only?

    No, they take credit cards.

In my opinion Lapisara ranks in the middle due to the other excellent options available. Seated immediately--had a reso but on a Wednesday morning not really necessary. It took a long time for the single employee to get to us but we weren't in a hurry. Cappuccino was very good in a cute "bear mug" and very reasonably priced. We shared a pacific omlet--not much crab, lots of shrimp, and nice swiss cheese/scallions but tasted kind of fishy--potatoes were only avg. Son said huevos rancheros were average.

Most Yelp reviews only mention brunch but the dinner was awesome--service; food: taste/quality, presentation, portions, prices we phenomenally low for SF ($200 with a bottle of wine for 4 people). We started with the garlic butter clams-small but tasty. Tuna tartar was excellent quality and enough to share. Samosas were more like empanadas--very good with peanut sauce so good it rivaled my own home made. We continued our culinary adventure with crab fried rice-delicious, a large portion and my son who lives in SF and has tried dozens of crab fried rice ranked it in the top tier. The pacific catch rice noodles with crab was also excellent-big portion, lots of crab, tasty. Final entree was their specialty-Mussaman Curry. Wow, tender meat/potatoe "stew" with a very unique flavor from the star anise/cinnamon and peanut--to die for. Creme Brulee was very good with lots of fresh fruit accompaniment My only complaint was a very limited wine selection. Lapisaia will become one of our regular spots for dinner!!!

A little bland without the honey butter. But paired really well when eaten with the honey butter. Breakfast platter Hashbrown is seasoned and cooked well. Crispy on the outside and tender inside. Bacon is nice and crispy. Scrambled eggs as expected. Sourdough toast was very good. Mocha was good. Ordered it less sweet but still a bit sweet to me. But still yummy.

    Amazing! I'm actually going there for the second time today!…read more My family arrived early, so the wait was only about five minutes before we were seated. I don't remember if there was music, but it was a busy, lively place with multiple conversations happening at once. It was definitely a cozy, home type atmosphere. A few people ordered chicken and waffles, so I had the chance to try it, and it was delicious! The waffles melted in my mouth! That's what I plan to order next time. I order a Korean chicken sandwich. It was very tasty and large. I had leftovers! I was disappointed because I forgot my leftovers on the table . Note to self: NEVER DO THAT AGAIN. The lemonade was very flavorful, and my kids enjoyed it too. I even tried an alcoholic beverage, I can't remember the name, but I swapped it for lemonade because it was THAT good. As I mentioned earlier, I will definitely return to this restaurant and highly recommend it.

I ordered the K-Bomb chicken Benny and oh boy will you leave satisfied in every way. The perfectly poached eggs are served on top of a fluffy slice of bread topped with kimchi-hollandaise sauce. The chicken was a Korean style fried chicken with a crunchy sweet and spicy bbq sauce reminiscent of gochujang and honey. Home fries and green salad with sesame dressing topped it all off. The mango matcha latte was also quite good and the price for SF and for all that food was great value for the money. Ambiance is casual and a bit loud as can be expected from a brunch place but overall it is clean and a fun spot to meet friends for brunch. Don't stay too long after paying though or you will get stared at by the folks waiting in line. Overall definitely recommend checking them out. I look forward to trying other specialties here.

    Diner food at its best…read more I don't visit often, so I tend to stick with the classics (The Plow, Custard French Toast, etc.), but everything I have tried so far has been excellent. As other Yelpers have mentioned, the wait can be incredibly painful. I most recently visited for weekday lunch (random Wednesday at 11:30am), and the wait was still 20-30 minutes for a party of 3 (which pales in comparison to the 2+ hour wait I have been quoted for the weekend). They offer both indoor and outdoor seating (with blankets for the latter on chilly days, which is much appreciated). The service is friendly and efficient, and the food comes out pretty quickly. Definitely worth a visit. I personally would never wait for longer than 30-40 minutes, but I would say the same for most restaurants.

    We arrived at Plow around 1pm on a Sunday, and the wait was about an hour. The first available…read moretable was in the parklet, so we opted to sit outside. We ordered two Plow plates -- one with the house-made pork sausage and the other with the chicken apple sausage. We also swapped the lemon ricotta pancakes on one of the plates for the almond flour pancakes so we could try both. Everything was well executed. The potatoes were nicely cooked with plenty of crispy pieces, and the eggs came out exactly as we requested. Both sausages were flavorful, although we both slightly preferred the chicken apple sausage. The pancakes were the only part of the meal that didn't quite win us over. The texture was softer and mushier than we expected. We were hoping for something a bit lighter and cakier. Between the two, my boyfriend preferred the almond flour pancakes. Overall, I think Plow is worth trying, but it's not a place I'm in a rush to return to.
