I live in the area and have watched a lot of restaurants come and go in this spot, but Mayaflor has stuck around and I always noticed a steady crowd eating there. Finally decided to give it a try and I'm glad I did. Showed up around 10am on a Saturday with one other person and we were seated immediately, no wait. The space is on the smaller side with limited seating inside and out, so that might change depending on when you go, but the timing worked out great for us. Service was genuinely lovely. Everyone was warm, quick to offer recommendations, and my order came out about 10 minutes after I placed it which I appreciated. I got the huevos rancheros and added bacon. Really good call. I ordered my eggs sunny side up and once that yolk broke over everything it just took the whole dish to another level. The kind of bite where all the flavors come together perfectly. Would definitely come back, and I especially want to return for dinner to work through some of their evening menu items.

Panuchos de Cochinita Pibil
Vanessa F.

I found this place while being up the street for a work event. I noticed their menu had breakfast which I really wanted but knew it was already too late I still decided to try it out. The set up is smaller more intimate feeling but extremely welcoming. I decided to get a michelada and try the panuchos and empanadas, which came with two different sauces. I ended up getting a few orders of those, some of the best I've tasted in a really long time. The service was quick and efficient. I didn't try anything else since I filled myself up on those but I am very eager to try more of their food especially their breakfast. If you are in the area I highly recommend, I don't live in the area but would make the drive for this food.

Aji de gallina
Erik N.

My first time eating Peruvian, the chicken was amazing, the pollo à la brasa. It was just so tender and seasoned, it got stripped of the bone. The aji was interesting because it was so different. Also scooped gone, it was like a thick different sauce with shredded chicken in it. Very good to go!

Huevos a la Mexicana

incredible food, incredible tasting, and a really sweet staff The huevos à la Mexicana was to die for all the ingredients were in there to perfection and I believe the salsa is homemade that they have the green and the red is delicious oh and the horchata latte!!!! yah!!! not to mention, the food is decorated like art

Empanada Plate
Amy L.

Finally checked out this cute restaurant which opened in the last 2 years! The artwork hung on the walls appear to be from local artists with prices for sale, which added to the ambiance. My first impression was that the menu prices were higher than expected, and the portions are quite small for what you get. I ordered the empanada plate, which was tasty but nothing out of the world. The eggs Benedict were also tasty but small portions as well.

Challah Custard French Toast - 1/2
Mansi A.

This was such a nice, cozy spot tucked in a corner in Nob Hill. Glad I finally got around to trying this place as it's been on my list for a while. While this French toast wasn't jaw dropping, it was still a yummy meal. The service was quick and attentive, and we weren't kicked out despite going on a very long yap session. Would come back in the future!

Lomo saltado. Very flavorful.
N A.

Wow. Delicious food. I always walked by and it was always crowded at breakfast. I walked by tonight and knew I had to try it. Lomo saltado and ceviche mixto were soo flavorful. The guacamole ice cream and churro dessert was one of a kind. Genuinely good food.

Empanadas
Alex L.

Mayaflor has been my favorite brunch place in Polk Gulch. Now with a new chef and expanded menu, they started serving dinner, too! It's tucked away on a cute, quieter street corner so it might be easy to miss out, but they serve very authentic Peruvian food and I highly recommend it to anyone who likes Peruvian/ Mexican food. The owner is Peruvian but she developed a menu that inspired both by Peruvian and Mexican food. It's one of a kind. The pulpo a la parrilla is tender and juicy, the sauce in lomo saltado is very rich and delicious. The empanadas is definitely one of the highlights of the evening. The service is amazing as always. Please go and support this amazing local small business and their new venture into the dinner scene!

Peruvian quinoa salad
Terry R.

MayaFlor left us satisfied but not impressed. We ordered the Peruvian quinoa salad with grilled chicken and the chilaquiles divorciados (red and green combo). We are HUGE fans of chilaquiles and have had our share of amazing chilaquiles. Though I appreciated that they offered a red and green combo, the chips lacked the thickness to hold the sauce without becoming soggy. The red and green sauces were both descent. Beans always take a chilaquiles over the top for us but the black beans in this dish fell flat. A delicious salad always excites my taste buds but the Peruvian salad missed the bar on greatness. The staff, though friendly, forgot the grilled chicken I added to the salad . They were very apologetic and provided a five star response by not charging me for the chicken that they eventually brought out. Unfortunately the chicken was a bit dry and the amount was not worth the $6 it would normally cost to add chicken breast. It was also disappointing that the olives added were not pitted and therefore could not be enjoyed with each bite of salad unless I wanted to chip a tooth. Overall the dishes were decent and it was not hard to finish both plates but with the abundance of excellent food options in SF, we will not be returning.

Lomo saltado
Mila J.

Great local spot with delicious lomo saltado and cute decor. They even have a small outdoor area to eat where you can people watch while enjoying your food. I took my food to go and it was so good, I want to come back to try more items on the menu and dine in. The workers were so friendly when I stopped by!

French toast & Heuvos a la mexicana
Christiane F.

Was going to Mymy across the street but the line was too long and I stumbled upon Mayaflor. I loved the French toast, it was super tasty and not too sweet but the Huevos a la Mexicana was pretty average. The servers are really great! very attentive without being overbearing. Overall a really good experience!

Drinks menu

Updating my review since it's 2025! Still an amazing brunch spot -- I typically go on weekends. Try to snag a table outdoors if it's a sunny day -- they're located on a corner, so it's also a cool spot to people watch. With that said, there is a decent amount of indoor seating available. In order to enter, there are a few steps you'll have to go down (in case accessibility is something you consider). The restaurant is run by the cutest family so there's a cozy atmosphere. There's not too many staff members, so it might take a while for things to come out when it gets busy (pretty standard compared to other places). There's a decent amount of classic breakfast items, and then a fun mix of Mexican dishes. On weekends, they have various specials available if you want to try something off menu! I personally recommend getting a side of french fries with whatever you order-- they're one of my favorites in the city and I always order them when I come (spicy aioli sauce is also top tier). I haven't tried their drinks myself, but friends have enjoyed them. Overall, this spot is one of my most frequented and I don't see that changing anytime soon! Give Mayaflor a shot and you won't be disappointed. Would love to see this small business pop off and thrive in 2025 (:

Cafe de olla, hot Mexican chocolate and fresh maracujá juice.
Claudia K.

OMG! What a hidden gem! From outside it doesn't look special but don't be fooled, they prepare the most delicious dishes and the service is up and beyond. Highlights: the hot Mexican chocolate (it reminded me of old time birthday drinks) and the French challah toast is superb! Service is great and accommodating. Place is cozy once you step in.

In researching places near where we were staying, we learned about the Italian deli and shop. We were looking forward to stopping by to check out the store and grab lunch. The store itself is very cute and charming, full of so many items - fresh meats and cheeses, imported olive oils, pastas, desserts, wine, and liquor to name a few. There is an area where you can get coffee drinks and there is a deli area for ordering sandwiches, pizzas, specialty dishes, and salads. The variety of options is plentiful. I ordered an iced coffee beverage, which was great. My significant other and I ordered a sandwich to go, which we were splitting for a light lunch back at the hotel. The person helping at the counter was not very friendly or helpful with questions. We asked for our sandwich to be made on the Dutch Crunch bread, as we were looking forward to trying it. Unfortunately, when we got back to the hotel, it turned out that the sandwich was made on a regular ciabatta roll, which was not fresh. Additionally, the sandwich was mostly mixed greens. For the price, I expected more meat. With so many great food options in San Francisco, it is likely we won't stop by on future visits to the City.

Portion size was perfect as well. The best sandwich I had in SF and one of the best sandwiches I've had anywhere. Service- I got here early as I knew the line would get long.

I ordered the 49er and it just seemed like a greasy goopy mess. It felt like the bread congealed into a mushy paste due to all the dressing and wetness? Also my sandwich was 1000* even after walking back to my car and letting it cool with the wrapper off it was still way to hot to eat for a long while and burnt my mouth. Maybe they intentionally make them super hot to withstand long distance takeout deliveries... I dunno. Plus standing in a long line with a velvet rope baking in the sun, long wait, lack of parking, navigating skuzzy neighborhood to go there (literally saw a guy going #2 on the corner on my way out)... overall I wasn't that impressed with Deli Board compared to all the rave reviews I have heard over the years. SF lacks truly awesome sandwich places so I will give give this another shot and report back with updates, perhaps I hit it on an off day.

They're showing off their wares, flashing pristine teeth, and parading around in an endless convoy of BMWs, Mercedes, and Bentleys. It's a neighborhood where absolutely everything--from the cold-pressed juice to the real estate--has a heavy, unapologetic price tag associated with it. But we didn't come for the gloss. We came for soul. We came to find refuge in our ultimate comfort food at Lucca's Delicatessen. Walking through that door isn't just stepping into a shop; it's stepping into a Time Machine. My order never changes -- it's the Liverwurst on marble rye, dressed simply with a little tomato, mayo, and crisp lettuce. Yesterday, you might have been chasing whatever trendy sandwich they're slinging down at Lettuce, but today is about tradition. My wife goes for the Caprese sandwich with prosciutto--a beautiful, classic combination. For me, though, the magic happens on the very first bite. As soon as I crunch into that rye, the Marina melts away. I am a five-year-old boy again, sitting down with my mother at a long-lost lunch counter, just purely enjoying life. My wife knows this ritual; she sees the look on my face and she approves. That right there is the exact reason we come here. It's why we are willing to stand crammed together in that inhospitable, notoriously narrow line that hungry San Franciscans have been enduring since 1929. Dear God, think about that: it has been almost a century in existence. If you haven't tried it, maybe you should. Take a break from the shiny facade outside, step into the narrow line, and order something real. It will become a part of your DNA, just like it has permanently become a part of mine.
