    Large Organic Raw Sampler
    Sabrina H.

    Came here from out of town on a Thursday only to find out that it was closed for a private event, which was a bummer. Got takeout the next day to try the organic raw vegan sampler and I thought that it was just OK. The Reuben and the tacos have the same filling with the pickles, tomatoes, and lettuce so they didn't really try to differentiate the flavors to the respective items. I wish there was more creativity and innovation with more dehydrated items rather than just serving me a simple salad that I could make myself. The best thing in the sampler were probably the kale chips as they had good flavoring and umami. everything else was just meh and I wonder if I ordered the wrong items. I will say that everything is really healthy so that's a plus.

    My partner and I went to this restaurant for the Valentine's Day event. The music and experience were absolutely amazing. They did traditional Latin dances and even had the crowd join in at the end. I would rate 5 stars just purely off of this. It was my first time and the show ran from 8:45 PM - 10:45 PM. The reason I rate 3 stars was first, there was a lack of clear communication about how to order food. We were given menus and were able to order drinks from it, but when we were ready to order food the server mentioned it would be buffet style. But somehow that wasn't communicated well enough and it left me confused. Next, a woman server came to us with a platter and we denied it because, again, we weren't communicated with properly about how our food was going to be served. We thought they had delivered the platter to the wrong table. The server walked away confused. My assumption in hindsight is that we'd be served a platter first. Then we'd get food from buffet and finally the dessert that they gave us at the end. Finally, we paid $167.48 for the reservation itself for two people. As you can see in the photo I provided we were charged $158.00 for the reservation and $9.48 for taxes and fees. But when we received the tab for the actual dinner we were charged $13.43 for "Taxes on Prepaid Tickets". But we were already charged $9.48 for "Taxes and Fees" when we initially booked the reservation. A mandatory gratuity was in the bill as well, which is fine. However, the gratuity mentions it's for "total amount of drinks" but also for "Prepaid tickets". So our dinner bill was $78.68. This does make it seem like we were charged three times for just the prepaid tickets themselves. Once when booking, once included in gratuity and lastly on the taxes on the dinner bill. So our experience + food ran us at $246.16. And we were still handed a tip sheet in case we wanted to give more. I usually wouldn't tip much for buffet style food since we are expected to serve ourselves and the servers were kind but nothing memorable enough to give an extra tip. Whether I'd come back is questionable. I would for the traditional dance experience but I'd stay away from the Valentines booking. Maybe on holidays they cash grab a little harder. I'd be happy to change this to a five star review if someone from the restaurant reached out and explained the pricing better to me.

    Where do I start? Well first off my girlfriend and I were visiting San Francisco and what brought us to try Peña Pachamama was neither of us have tried Bolivian food and were curious and we were so excited because they're vegan so it was a cool experience to try food we haven't had before that we could also eat and enjoy without any worry that there may be animal products that aren't listed! We first tried to go on Thanksgiving day (silly mistake) because we had seen online they were open come to find out they weren't and the owner kindly told us they were having their own private family dinner but to come back the next day and so that's exactly what we did! We came back the next day and what a fun dinner experience, not only was the service great, the food was incredible and probably the best meal we had while visiting the Bay! They also had live music that was beautiful and infectious, I was bobbing my head while eating and there was belly dancing and samba and it was a great night! The owner even recognized my girlfriend and I from the night before and came over to chat and invite us back! Will definitely be coming back once we visit again, I honestly would go just for the empanadas for a quick bite if I lived there, but everything is worth a try here!

    What a great find! Wonderful music, cocktails, and vegan food. Lots of gluten free options.

    Lentil Dip with Plantain Chips
    Navila H.

    Owned by the couple that lives upstairs, this gem should be kept close to the chest and enjoyed with close friends only. Celebrating the Bolivian cuisine on its' menu, Pena adapts their dishes to cater to a plant based diet as well. Ambiance With live music and white table cloths, come early for amazing food, and stay for the private show and dancing. The versatility and intimacy makes the space alluring. I went with a large group and they were fully ready to smash tables together to serve our group. Service Attentive and quick paced. The staff are willing to accommodate the patrons' needs with no fuss. Food The Lentil Dip was so so so tasty! Super filling for a small dish I split with my partner. The Chicha Morada was a little to cinnamon forward and didn't have enough citrus for me. A little bummed the $7.50 16oz glass didn't satisfy. Will definitely return for those nights of North Beach debauchery. Highly recommend!

    Reuben, BLT and Corn Taco Combo
    Camille G.

    This cozy vegan restaurant was such a brilliant find! Especially as its roots go for decades in the SF area. We came in right when they opened and everything we ordered was so fresh and delicious! Their customer service went above and beyond as they answered every question we had with such knowledge and grace. I loooved that they had both cooked and raw vegan dishes. The empanada was cooked to perfection and the filling was infused with so much flavor. A must get! My favorite had to be the Reuben (BLT) and Corn Taco Combo! It was a raw dish that transcended every expectation. The pumpernickel bread and sauerkraut combination left me craving more and the corn taco was sooo goood! They have live music as well which we didn't get to enjoy but we'll definitely be back!

    White Chocolate Vanilla Cheesecake
    Neesha P.

    Wow. Just WOW. My friends and I walked in to a wonderful speech by a husband to his wife. The feels were there. An intimate little restaurant with live music and dance. The food is all vegan and there are plenty of GF options. And everything is just phenomenal. Highly recommend the platter so you can try a variety. The lasagna was just a must! The horchata was also really good. Creamy and not too sweet. The brownie with ice cream is delicious! It is heavy on the coconut, but it will convert you. The founders is the restaurant were playing life music. The environment was so comfortable and inviting we got up to dance in between courses.

    Rachel F.

    Good, unique food with a fun atmosphere! Everything is cooked with the best oils and ingredients. Even the venue itself has extensive history! We got the plantains w black beans, chefs special plate, and the burger. I was a bit underwhelmed with the plantains and black beans, but the portobello mushroom on the chefs plate was amazing! I don't know how they do it but it was so tasty. While the food was good, ultimately, it was just too expensive for what you get so I had to give 4 stars.

I walked in with a group of 8, we were immediately greeted by a lady who seemed to run the entire dining room. She was very to-the-point and efficient. She treated us very well, giving us complementary pan-fried dumplings, and even making sure our friend who came later got everything that the rest of us got as well. The usual Chinese menu items we ordered were all pretty standard, including the hot & sour soup. The pork chop was flavorful & cooked well, but the gravy on top of it had a weird gelatinous consistency that took a while to get used to. The prime rib was a more-adventurous item that we ordered, and although it wasn't bad, I think I'd skip it on my next visit.

You either have reservations or you're a walk in and you stand in line until a table is available for you. At first this was strange, but I think it makes for a better experience. The team was incredible, they were so kind on a day that can be stressful for a small restaurant. We had incredible food.

It seems like this place is an asian fusion brunch place incorporating french dishes into thai/asian themed dishes which is up our alley. We made a reservation at 1:45 PM and we had to wait for about an extra 30 minutes before getting seated. Initially, I wanted to try their crab fried rice but unfortunately they were out of crab. We decided to get the Alcatraz Escape and the Brioche french toast which were recommended by the wait staff. The staff was generally friendly and accommodating but I can tell they were swamped and stressed out with all the people they were trying to serve. The food itself tasted decent, the Alcatraz Escape had a tasty flavor which incorporates tom yum paste (sweet, sour, tangy flavor) into their scramble with about 4 shrimps. The side of crispy chicken was good but nothing that stood out to us. The brioche was soft but there wasn't much flavoring besides the fruits and caramelized banana. It was served with evaporated milk which made the brioche soft but not adding much flavor to it. The price however was quite pricey. For two dishes as a side we paid around $78 with tax and tip.
