Primavera is a cash only stand at the Ferry Building Farmer's Market. We caught a glimpse of Mayor Lurie enjoying a meal there as well, so fair to say the spot is highly endorsed! There was a line but the wait wasn't too bad. The chilaquiles are large and can be shared unless you're starving! The brisket quesabirria were very tasty as well. We were able to grab a table nearby but seating is a hit or miss depending on the crowds.
I regularly pick up the chicken mole tamales which are not made available at the grocery store. They're absolutely delicious and a necessary backup meal plan that should be in your freezer. I don't know how they do it, but their scrambled eggs are something I can never achieve at home. To eat at the Ferry Plaza, anything really, but I always get the chilaquiles, and the tamales, tortillas (or chips) and salsa. You can't go wrong really.
The highlight of my Saturday mornings! Must try their chilaquiles - red or green! Both were AMAZING
The best chilaquiles ever! Once every other month we come to the Ferry Building farmer's market on Saturday mornings just for Primavera's chilaquiles. They make by far the best chilaquiles I've had anywhere. I can pinpoint to a few things that make their version of this dish stand out. The eggs were whiskered to perfection in terms of fluffiness. The chips remained crispy despite being drenched in sauces. The beans were rich creamy that served as a perfect contrast to the former two's fluffiness and crispness. As soon as we devoured this plate we were already craving it again.
we visited their booth at the farmers mariet on saturday morning, they were so nice when taking our orders and food took maybe 10 min to be ready, we got chilaquiles! this was such a good breakfast! great vibe!
The BEST chilaquiles in SF are here at the Ferry Building farmers market on saturdays! They have been here for a very long time and it seems to be the case that there is always a line of super fans who want the chilaquiles :) the plate of the most delicious chilaquiles comes with fluffy eggs, beans, and avocado. Be sure to add as much salsa as you like before you start eating CASH ONLY so make sure you stop by the ATM before Currently most menu items are $16 We are definitely getting the tamales next time (they are all gordito chunky boys / gals!)
We see the line year after year. Finally today we decided to get into the line. We find out from the person next to us that chilaquiles is what everyone is in line for. So we got 2 orders and a fish taco. Everything was very tasty indeed. The chilaquiles were just the right amount of crisp on the edges and soft from the salsa. It's served with scrambled eggs, beans and topped with sour cream. The fish tacos were large and filling and the fish was moist and flaky. One thing we learned is you can order half orders of all their entrees. So that's helpful if you want to try different things. The line was long for a Saturday. I'd say 20 minutes to order and another 20 minutes wait for the food. I'm not sure if it's worth all the time but maybe take turns in line with your party and the time will go fast.
Never understood the hype for chilaquiles since they're just basically soggy breakfast nachos. This was a very hearty meal with eggs and refried beans. The most surprising thing was that the tortilla chips they use seem thicker than normal so the chilaquiles weren't as soggy as I feared. Eggs were silky and refried beans were flavorful. Once you get your order there is a mild red salsa or hot orange salsa for you to dress up your chilaquiles with. For $16 cash I thought it was expensive for what it was, but that's the price of doing business at the Ferry Building only once a week. Good if you like chilaquiles, but I probably prefer any other type of breakfast dish over chilaquiles.
Everyone loves the Chilaquiles here but I think it's a little too hyped up. The lines are long and will take at least 30 minutes just to get to order. The line moves along but the wait after will take awhile to get your food. The famous chilaquiles are $13 and they're good but not the best. Best to eat them right away when fresh. Hard to grab a seat during peak times. Located in the back of the ferry building. Cash only
Fabulous popular place for breakfast on a chilly Saturday December morning. The first time we noticed this place it had a line a mile long. Seriously! This second time we didn't want to pass it up so my wife talked me into ordering the chilaquiles to go. She had to get a picture. Yea for the Gram. We found a place to sit as there were open tables nearby. It was a good thing we walked back to get another napkin & ask for the name of the business which then I read the well deserved high ratings. You can purchase the chips, sauce separately too. I observed a couple doing that. I think we might try doing that the next time! Yes it was my first time having chilaquiles & it won't be my last. It's a must to eat most right away or the chips won't taste the same eight hours later. So much for our low carb diet! It's all good bc we will come back for more!
I've came to this stand multiple times and the food is always great. My favorite are the birria tacos and chilaquiles. They are cash only so make sure to bring enough cash. The line does move quick but their service is fast. I noticed that many customers take their food to go but honestly eat it in the moment for the best experience.
Every time I go to Primavera, I cannot help but get the chilaquiles. I've had a lot of chilaquiles and by far this is the best one I've eaten. But this time, I got their fish tacos. They were absolutely delicious!! Both the fish and the cabbage had a good crunch to them. I love the crema (not sure if it was avocado because it was light green in color but nonetheless yummy). And the tortilla was thick and had a good chew to it. Their fish tacos have replaced my number one place, even though the other place no longer serves fried fish tacos. I didn't add too much salsa because I wanted to taste it as it is, but I think the salsa enhances the already delicious dish. The customer ahead of me ordered half chilaquiles and half fish tacos.... I didn't even know you can do that! I'll have to order that if I'm craving both. It took my years to get something different, and I imagine it will take the same to try another item on their menu. But it's really one of the best places to eat at farmers market in the Ferry Building, and it is worth the wait.
So so good - had been wanting to try for a year & finally made it on a Saturday morning We went to the back of the market to find Primavera, found it by the long line but it wasn't too bad & moved fast CASH ONLY we had the chilaquiles - my first time - and lemonade You get in line, order, pay in cash then step aside and wait for your name to be called - about 10 min We found a seat on a bench, and dove in The sauce was great, rich & flavorful The chips were crispy The eggs were delicious And the lemonade balanced it all Give it a try, you'll be happy you did

I frequent the Ferry Building farmer's market and now, after visiting it for the first time, I understand why there's always a line for Primavera. The chilaquiles are so satisfying; the tortilla chips have the right amount of crunch. They're served with fluffy scrambled eggs, avocado, and refried beans. The line might look daunting, but it moves quickly and is worth the wait. For $13, it's a generous portion. Make sure to bring cash! They don't accept credit cards. read more
Cash only! Great prices, large filling portions, delicious food. Stall is located in the very back outdoors behind the ferry building, and the line here is usually quite long. Food is ready pretty quickly. Service is friendly, but wished it was easier to carry out the food to find a place to eat it instead of having it exposed on a plate walking around the farmers market and ferry building trying to find a table. read more
I had these chilaquiles one year ago and I haven't stopped thinking about them since. I finally went to the farmers market today and got them again, and I can assure you they live up to the hype!! Perfectly crunchy with delicious and fresh toppings--my mouth is watering just thinking about it. I like putting a little bit of everything on my fork and taking a big flavortastic bite! I'm honestly considering going to the farmers market every Saturday for some of these bad boys. PSA: They are cash only so make sure you come with $13 in cash for some bussin chilaquiles! read more

If you come here on a nice sunny day, be prepared to wait about an hour to order and receive your food! Also, come prepared with cash since they don't take card. Everything here is good and super worth it since the portions are huge. The chilaquiles is a classic, but the fish tacos and birria tacos are also amazing. There's a few picnic tables to sit at if you're lucky enough to grab one, but also some benches to sit and enjoy the view of the water! read more

You got to wait in line for the breakfast here. I hadn't had chilaquiles in SO long and it was soooo nice to see this place. The chilaquiles had delicious sauce, fluffy eggs, pureed beans, and cotija cheese. Avocado on top too. It all tasted so fresh and the sauce was delicious on the chilaquiles. They had a bit of crunch and were not soggy at all. I loved everything about this breakfast and would highly recommend. This place is popular and I understand why! Yum! read more

I go to the Farmer's Market at the Ferry Building pretty regularly, and Primavera is definitely my favorite place to grab a bite to eat. Sometimes even when I'm not that hungry I find myself making an excuse to get their chilaquiles anyway. Their menu is small and rotates (I've seen fish tacos, birria tacos, enchiladas, ceviche, etc.) but they have their chilaquiles and their tamales every week as far as I can tell. I've tried some of their other dishes and they're all delicious, but the chilaquiles are definitely my favorite and my go to. They come with perfectly fluffy scrambled eggs that are still a little soft, refried beans, sour cream, avocado, onions, cilantro, and cotija cheese. The chilaquiles themselves are really thick and crunchy but still cooked enough to soak up all their delicious salsa. It's mindblowingly good! They also sell take home items like tamales, tortillas, salsa, chips, etc. that I occasionally like to pick up to stash in my pantry, and they're all really impressive and super good quality. Their packaged tamales are perfect for a quick meal when I'm too lazy to cook, and I've even tried to recreate their chilaquiles at home with their salsa and chips (which actually turned out surprisingly good). They even have some of their items at the more local SF grocery stores so I definitely recommend looking out for their products in the grocery aisles next time you want to pick up some tamales or salsa! read more

One of the best deals there if you patiently wait. The food is delish and the ambiance of the bustling Saturday farmers market can't be beat for the best breakfast option there. Before you get in the long line: CASH ONLY...ugh, but they have no other location to enjoy this at other times read more

These are the best chilaquiles I've ever had. They've been a staple of the ferry plaza farmers' market for years, and there's always a line. Don't fret though! The chilaquiles are worth the wait. No matter what variation they have on it, it's always delicious. The chips are crisp and stay crisp even under their sauce. I do not like soggy chilaquiles, and you never have to worry about that here. Their eggs taste better than your average eggs too. I make sure to get more of the salsa they have where you pick up your order to dip my eggs and beans into. I live in the South Bay now and still make a trek over on Saturday mornings just for chilaquiles. I'm sure their other offerings are good too, but I've never strayed away from my usual order of chilaquiles because they're too good. Cash only, so make a trip to the ATM before heading over! read more

My usual go to when I come to The Ferry Plaza Farmers Market as one can't go wrong @ Primavera. Chilaquiles are probably the number one item that everyone orders which I have had countless times before. Today I decided to go outside the box and try the two piece chicken Chalupas while my son had our usual. Open face and not like the Taco Bell variety it was good but kinda hard to eat because you really can't fold the shell unless you want to get it messy all over and today, I did not see any plastic knives which would have been helpful in eating them. read more

Great option for delicious chilaquiles at the Saturday Farmer's Market at the Ferry Building! Their stand is located at the back of the Farmer's Market - past the food trucks by the South entrance of the Ferry Building and closer to the actual ferry terminal (photos attached to help). The day we went the tent was unlabeled but I knew it was the right spot based on the menu + long line :) Was delighted to see quesabirria was on the menu that day so we got an order of chilaquiles and quesabirria - both were delicious and great serving size for two people! It wasn't the cheesiest or best quesabirria I've had in the city, but was very good. The chilaquiles were one of my favorites I've tried in SF - very impressed by the perfectly scrambled eggs and just crispy enough chips. Tips: - They are CASH ONLY - felt bad for several people who had to get out of line when they realized this - Ask for extra salsa when your order is ready, particularly good on the eggs/beans in the chilaquiles order read more

Just tried this place and it was amazing. Had a line, but it was fast to get to the front and wait for the food wasn't too long either. They have a limited menu and TBH I would order everything if I had known how good they were. We will be back to try the rest. Today we had the chilaquiles and pork tamales. Amazing! Excited to come back and try everything else! read more

Primavera at the Saturday farmers market in SF has the best chilaquiles I've ever had, hands down. I've tried chilaquiles at a number of restaurants and food stands all around California, and none have come close to Primavera in terms of taste and quality. I think in general, chilaquiles is a very open-ended dish: there are many variations of it, and as a result, you often don't know what you're going to get. It tastes very different from place to place. Primavera's chilaquiles are, for me, the ideal balance of eggs, crisp tortilla chips, beans, and avocado. I come here some Saturdays especially for it, and it's always delicious! read more
