We started with two cocktails: the Mango Tango and the Copa Copa Havana. We weren't huge fans of either at first, nit after a couple sips they definitely did the trick. For our meal, we ordered the ropa vieja, lechón Cubano, pan de bono, and yuca frita. Every single dish was a 10/10. Everything was incredibly flavorful, perfectly prepared, and the portions were generous, so don't be surprised if you leave with a to-go box. I can't wait to come back. From the unique décor and delicious food to the warm, attentive service from the waitresses, this place delivered all around. Definitely 10s across the board!

The steak sandwich had maybe the best first bite of any I have ever had. The beef was crispy at the edges and also flavored with sauce. The middle was decent too, but the edges were sublime.

More like a 3.5-star experience for me…read more Came here for a late lunch today. There were a few tables filled, but it wasn't that busy. With that being said, our server wasn't very attentive. We had to flag her down a few times whenever we needed something instead of her checking in on us. We ordered the bistek sandwich and bistek plate. The sandwich was actually really good, although it was a little hard to eat like an actual sandwich because the meat wasn't sliced up. I basically had to eat the steak separately. The sauce it came with aka crack sauce, was SO good. I ended up grabbing a couple to take home because it went well with pretty much everything. Just beware that they charge an extra $1 per sauce. The plantain fries were good, but I wish they were a little crispier. The bistek plate, however, was probably a 3/5 for me. It lacked flavor and just wasn't anything particularly special. We ended up using the crack sauce to give it more flavor. The chicken empanadas were also pretty bland. Overall, the restaurant has a loud, lively atmosphere and the experience was alright. There were definitely some hits and misses, but that crack sauce was easily the highlight!

If yours is bad too, apparently it's a small island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean between South Korea/Japan and Australia. The vibes definitely reminded me of hawaii. They had live music and the decor was very tropical. My husband said it also reminded him of Tahiti. A nice little tropical vacation in the middle of the Mission. 5/5 eggplant - it comes out cold but I enjoyed the smokey flavor with the creamy sauce 3/5 corn chowder - a bit watery and came with crispy pieces on top 5/5 empanada - has collard greens in it, great crunch and flavor. 4/5 crispy pork belly - I really liked the savory beets and how they kept the pork belly less saucey. Not overly crunchy or hard to chew. A handful of pieces were all fat though. 5/5 egg noodle - a very flavorful dish with noodle, tomatoes, ground beef, and mushrooms. A bit pricey for what it is though. Cocktails were refreshing. Service was great, love how it wasn't overly crowded and sitting on the patio on a beautiful sunny day with live music and great cocktails and delicious food with great company was a perfect match. Will definitely come back!

We recently attended their Guam Liberation Day celebration and were disappointed by what we got for…read morethe value, which was $45 per person. I think our whole group left disappointed, which is a shame because we were so excited to experience this event. For starters, the food wasn't good. What was promised was a 'fiesta bowl' but they served plates with mediocre amounts of food. It was two scoops of red rice, 2-3 chicken wings that were cooked well but had legit zero flavor or seasoning at all, a small amount of kimchi, and I think a scoop of mac salad? I bought a glass of soda for $5 and it was a tiny, tiny plastic cup that they filled from a large 2liter bottle. It was a really cheap experience. At least give people a can of soda for $5. I feel like that'd be easier. Everything was incredibly overpriced, even by SF standards, because of the portions. You expect a "normal" portion for this high cost, but the portions are small which makes you feel taken advantage of. They did have live music but only 2 games for kids, it just was a very weak execution from our groups' experience. There were less games than what was in their email advertisement photos. Overall the ambiance was chaotic. I think everyone rushed in around the same time, tables got filled quickly, and then it died down when people finished eating and got bored. It wasn't really a consistent 1-5pm event from a vibe standpoint. Employees were recommending people go save seats while the other party gets their food and drinks. This made eventually finding a table to sit at very annoying. A lot of people had to split their group to be able to sit. I don't want to play a Hunger Games version of find a table to an event I paid a seat for. If they sold X amount of tickets, they need to ensure they had that amount of seats. Otherwise, space out when people can arrive. Organization wise, it was just frustrating. My fiance gave our food tickets to their employee but groups were served before us because he was standing at the back of the "line" vs the front...which wasn't the instructions we were told. The guy confirmed how many plates/tickets, told us specifically to stand in the back and they'll call us when the food is ready. But the people standing closer to him, who arrived after us, were all served before us... We came in optimistic and left hungry and disappointed.

I eat here as often as I can when I'm in downtown SF for work. Great atmosphere, attentive staff,…read morenot a bad dish on the menu. If you're eating on a Fri or Sat night, there might be a wait list to be seated (lots of event venues within walking distance - SF Jazz, SF Symphony, Opera, Ballet, Orpheum, Bill Graham Civic Center, etc). Otherwise, I always get seated quickly, food is on the table in 5-10 min, great if you're in a hurry. Fav menu items - the tacos are the star here, pastor, fish, fried chicken, they're all delicious! Tortas, burritos, fajitas - so good and reasonably priced for the quality/area. New fav go-tos are the fried brussel sprouts and salad (with a scoop of meat of choice). Great beer & wine selection too.

Since moving to Hayes Valley, I've been here at Papito Hayes about six or seven times for lunch, so…read moreI think I'm ready to share some thoughts about this place. Walking in, you're greeted with a friendly atmosphere and a beautiful mural. The service is polite and chill, and they usually invite me to sit wherever I'd like at the small open tables inside. There's also a small outdoor area if you'd rather sit outside. The staff always have a friendly buzz about them and seem to all be friends, which I like to see. It gives the place a welcoming feeling. Compared to some of the other places nearby, this spot has slightly cheaper options, but expect to spend close to $30 per person. By far my favorite things to order are the chicken soup and the asada enchiladas. The way the enchiladas are served is unique and adds to the flavor of the dish. The rice and beans are placed beneath the enchiladas in a small skillet, so all the juices and sauce drip into them, which makes it a pleasure to tuck into. The asada enchiladas also come with a tasty red sauce, and the smoky bites of steak inside each enchilada make me devour them every time. I've also tried the pork enchiladas, which are pretty good for similar reasons. The chicken enchiladas weren't for me--but that might just be because I don't really like the taste of mole. For $9, you're served a surprisingly filling bowl of chicken soup with rice. The rice is never mushy, and the broth is really savory and moreish, probably because it's made with bone broth. It also comes with plenty of chicken and vegetables, plus a big pile of cilantro, which I really like. I've also tried a bunch of their tacos. I wouldn't recommend the duck confit tacos, as they're a little too sweet in my opinion. However, the Baja-style fish tacos are really nice, as are the fried chicken tacos. They're not super traditional, but they're tasty and balanced with a little cilantro and salad in each. If you ask, they'll also give you a small bottle of what seems to be homemade habanero sauce. I consider myself pretty good with spicy food, but this stuff is actually pretty hot, so be careful with it. There was one time when they didn't really hit the mark. I ordered the chicken soup, as I always do, and it came out tasting much blander than usual, with much drier chicken. I let the staff know, and they gave me a discount, which was nice. Overall, I really like the vibe of this place and the bright flavors they offer. Compared to Souvla nearby which I'd put in a similar bracket, I prefer to come here. I'll definitely be coming back for lunch again.

The staff were super nice and accommodating, despite us getting there so late/close to closing time. After a round of beers, we tried several dishes, including the lahmacun, the pastirma pide, the falafel salad, and for dessert, the rice pudding. I definitely preferred the pides and the rice pudding was delicious! However, I was not a huge fan of the lahmacun. It was bland despite the side veggies, and desperately in need of salt. All the savory dishes would have benefited from a bit more salt, in fact. Overall, still a very good meal and I recommend trying it!

I've never eaten at La Ciccia nor have I ever traveled to Sardinia, but that I am most definitely intrigued. The interior felt very rustic with touches of old European charm. The outdoor patio felt very al-fresco. Pasta and seafood lovers would surely enjoy dining here. Starters: - Roasted Monterey calamari with greens tossed in basil oil. Perfectly tender and the sauce is amazing as a bread dipper. - Spicy tomato stew with baby octopus: the collective thought was that this dish reminded us all of cioppino, and for good reason. The stew was absolutely delicious with perfectly cooked octopus. I could have eaten bowls and bowls of this stew. Not overly spicy with just the perfect kick of heat. We came for pasta: and pasta we did! - Cured fish roe spaghetti with spicy oil: umami rich in flavor with perfectly cooked pasta. I devoured the entire dish. - Fettuccine with sea urchin and tomato cured tuna heart: absolutely wow'd by this dish. Creamy sea urchin and tomato'y tuna heart paired so well with fresh pasta. "We" have a sweet-tooth. Our waiter said never to put a limit on dessert, and so we chose to have two to end our meal. - Chocolate pannacotta with hazelnuts: before spooning into the dessert, like children, we jiggled the bittersweet chocolate jelly sweet concoction. This reminded me of having a creamy hot chocolate from Angelina's in Paris, albeit this dessert being cold instead of hot. Really good. - The nightly special was: basil gelato topped with powdered fish roe. If savory and sweet eats are your thing, you will most definitely enjoy this dish. This dessert was the table favorite. It just works! Service: our waiter was not only funny, in conversation, but was above all very attentive. Definitely coming back for more tastes of Sardinia.
