Went here for my b day dinner (I'm vegan) and it was my second time there! they had a show and had dancers and live music which wa pretty cool! also amazing how the kitchen bar serving is all run by one man lol. the whole place is vegan and the food is no amazing it's just good. got the pasta and the lasagna (had random crunchy pieces that tasted like nuts which i didnt like), but the pasta was p good and the veggies were so yum. also for the ice cream with fudge which was amazing. def overpriced for what you get and the portion sizes are not that big lol but fun.

COMBO Organic Plant Based Veggie Grill and Spicy Bolivian Pasta  Vegan Saltena Plate

Hidden vegan gem in North Beach! SF really does vegan restaurants well. The combo plate was delicious, hearty, and savory - didn't feel like vegan food at all! I was absolutely stuffed afterwards. My friend had the empanadas, and said it tasted like a pot pie (in a good way). The kale chips are an absolute must try. They were crispy and cheesy and addicting. Would also come back here to try the reuben and corn taco, so curious about the raw menu! Sangria was also great and so was the mango cocktail. Very fresh but no frills at all. Just good drinks. Restaurant was quiet on a Tuesday night, just a few tables inside so it was quiet, but felt like a friendly neighborhood joint. The tables are close together, but we ended up chatting to our neighbors about the food and how we ended up choosing to eat there. Servers were very sweet as well.

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.

Receipt showing two charges for prepaid tickets.

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.

Large Organic Sampler Plate

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

The service was great. The food I had mixed feelings. The daily oysters were $1.55 each, now I know why they were so cheap. It was so fishy! We ordered half a dozen because I wanted to taste it before getting a full dozen and luckily we did because they tasted so gross. I think we spit out two and the other four were ok. The baked oysters were delicious but tinyyyyyy! Flavors were great, couldn't really taste the oysters because they were so small. The gochujang butter sauce and the pineapple butter were delicious. The steamed clams were small too, the flavors were great especially when dipping with bread. The fish n chips was one HUGE piece of fish. Not even cut into the strips, it was like a whole filet. The French fries that came with it had a pool of oil so we grabbed some paper napkins to transfer so the fries aren't sitting in oil. The dish itself was tasty but would've loved the traditional style. The crispy calamari salad was delicious! Perfect lemon vinaigrette to go with it. Would not come back, unfortunately.

Incredible Treats by Ping's Raw Foods!…read more I just had to share my experience with Ping's Raw Foods because, honestly, their desserts are next-level! I've been trying to eat healthier, but I still crave something sweet, and Ping's has been a total game-changer for me. First of all, the ice cream is unbelievable. I was so impressed by how creamy and rich it is, especially considering it's all raw and made with natural ingredients. I tried the berry and the date flavor, and both were out of this world--so full of flavor and perfectly sweetened! The granola is another thing I can't get enough of. It's crunchy, flavorful, and just sweet enough without being overwhelming. I love enjoying it every morning with some yogurt, and it's the perfect way to start the day. I also ordered one of the cakes, and wow, it did not disappoint! Incredibly wonderful and full of flavor. I've had vegan raw cakes before, but this was hands down the best I've ever had. And the dessert squares--they're like little bites of heaven! I love having one (or two) after dinner. They're perfectly balanced with just the right mix of textures and flavors, and they totally hit the spot when I need a sweet fix. Honestly, everything I've tried from Ping's Raw Foods has exceeded my expectations. I can't believe how amazing healthy desserts can taste! If you're looking for guilt-free indulgence, these desserts are an absolute must. And..I just found out that Ping's Raw Foods is making some exciting changes!! If you're a fan of their incredible vegan ice cream, granola, cakes, and dessert squares like I am, you'll want to hear this. They're switching things up and moving from wholesale to retail orders now! What does that mean for us? Well, no more waiting for your favorite treats to hit the shelves in stores--you can now order directly from them and pick up your goodies at three different locations on select days. I'm really excited because it means you can get those fresh, raw, and healthy desserts you love on your own schedule. No more hunting down stock in stores or worrying if they've sold out--just place an order and pick it up when it's convenient for you. I don't have all the details yet, but I'm definitely keeping my eye out for more info. If you haven't tried their stuff yet, now's the perfect time to give it a go!

When we finally reached the host stand, the hostess told us she had given our table to the party directly in front of us, who did not have a reservation. When I asked why our reserved table had been given away, she responded incredibly rudely that they were "not going to wait all day" for us. Given that we were only about 10 minutes late, had attempted to call, and had been waiting in their check-in line, the response felt unnecessarily dismissive and hostile. Unfortunately, that attitude continued. I ordered a salad specifically because I was excited about the stone fruit listed on the menu. When it arrived without it, I asked about it and was eventually told they were out. When I asked whether there was a substitute, the hostess told me they had put cucumbers on it instead. I pointed out that cucumbers were already supposed to be part of the salad according to the menu, and she responded that there was nothing she could do. Again, it wasn't simply the issue itself--it was the dismissive way it was handled. Our waitress, on the other hand, was very kind and pleasant, and I want to make that distinction. Service overall was a little slow, but the interaction with the hostess was what really soured the experience. As a person of color, I also left uncomfortable with how differently our interaction seemed to be handled compared with the white guests around us. I can't know the hostess's intent, but given my previous experiences in the Marina, the contrast in treatment was difficult to ignore. I was genuinely excited to try Popi's Oysterette, which makes this particularly disappointing. A reservation issue or missing ingredient is understandable. Being spoken to rudely and dismissively when trying to resolve those issues is not.
