If you want a damn good mich this is the place! The ceviche was so delicious and the michelada was so tasty and filling. I could eat and drink like 10 more of these. The vibes of the place are nice too. I want to come back again and again. Everything on the menu looks so good. read more

Waterfall - Cevichelada - Seafood Near Me - San Francisco, California

Stopped here for a quick and small bite to eat for lunch on the weekend. I got the Baja fish taco. It took about 10 minutes or so to come out. The fish was crispy, light and flaky, and not at all dry or overly greasy. Great overall flavor for the taco. Big portion for 1 taco. Service was friendly. I'll definitely be back to try more of their tacos and ceviche! read more

Waterfall - Seafood Near Me - San Francisco, California

I LOVE Waterfall and couldn't wait to visit when they opened. Matter of fact, we were some of the first customers in this cute little storefront restaurant. I love the aquachiles, micheladas and the fish tacos. Since we come back and bring family and friends each time, I have almost had everything on the menu. My favorites are the Verde Aguachile, Mango Habanero Aguachile, Mixed Ceviche and Coconut Ceviche. I also love the lunch specials for $12, you get either: - One fish taco and ceviche - Two shrimp tacos and ceviche The food is fresh, flavorful and delicious. The interior is so warm and welcoming and the micheladas are a lot of fun. Also, the couple that owns and runs this place are very nice and hardworking people, I would love to see them suceed. read more

Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 HANDS DOWN best place to get ceviche in the city! Staff is super friendly and service is quick! Enjoyed the ambiance; great music and cute decor.

We ordered: - Mix Ceviche: super fresh seafood and good amount of acidity - Crispy tacos: great amount of shrimp inside and perfectly crispy on the outside Planning to come back many times! Highly recommend! read more

Cool little spot with great drinks. Food was pretty good, had the fish tacos... although they weren't so much tacos but more of a tostada but on a raw corn tortilla. Service was lacking as our server was outside talking on the phone most of my visit and had to get up and ask the bartender anytime I needed anything (water, napkins, the check) read more

This is my favorite place to get micheladas... ever. Definitely get the waterfall michelada ($12) or the shrimp ceviche michelada ($17 and the ceviche and michelada are separated of course). They also bring you free chips and a spicy aioli to dip the chips in. Food: -Fish tacos ($5 each) my brother and boyfriend love these. Crispy fish and a spicy aioli sauce with some cabbage-- what's not to love? -Tuna Ceviche -- delicious! -Shrimp Ceviche -- a classic must get. -Crispy shrimp tacos ($10) -- comes with 3 crispy fried shrimp paste tacos. I thought these were delicious and a lil spicy (my spice tolerance is non existent) Overall-- you can't go wrong with the ceviche and the micheladas. Everything tasted so fresh and delicious. Also-- there isn't a wait most of the time I went. I got seated right away. read more

Came by this place for an evening date night! I was super excited about the aguachile. Everything was good - from the sauce that came with the complimentary chips to the aguachile and service. That day, they also had tacos that they were serving upfront! I didn't get to try it, but would like to another time! The michelada was good. We get to choose the beer and it's a generous portion. The only thing is that the candy got soggy during the dinner, so drink up fast! Aguachile was really flavorful! The presentation was nice too. read more

Fun vibey casual restaurant with a variety of drinks and seafood. There were only two people working on a Friday night, so service was a little slow but there weren't many tables either. We loved the drinks which were tasty without being too sweet. The three of us opted for the seafood combo meal; everything on it was delicious, and there was a nice variety between the raw and fried food. It was big enough to leave us super full since they also refilled our chips/queso a few times. A nice place to stop by for drinks and seafood! read more

I'll never eat ceviche anywhere else unless I'm on the coast of Mexico. No, seriously. That's how good this place is that nowhere else is worth paying my good money for less than this. This is real ceviche. How it's supposed to be. The ladies make some good drinks here and the vibe is spirited with good music and even better food. The kind you put in overtime at your job for knowing it's gonna be worth every penny. Try the Tuna Ceviche, fish tacos and Cevicheladas to leave no tastebud unsatisfied read more

Food was delicious! A small personal kitchen that made our food with love. We ordered the aguachile (verde). They give complimentary chips & Chipotle sauce that complimented the food very well We will be back :P read more

Waterfall - Baja shrimp taco and michelada - Seafood Near Me - San Francisco, California

3.5 stars I am not a taco purist, but Waterfall tacos have an excessive amount of toppings & sauces going on. I actually liked the light & flakey batter on the Baja fish & shrimp so I tossed the garnish-heavy tortillas & enjoyed myself a fried seafood platter, of sorts. Order of guacamole was good & fresh. My group tried the healthier elements off the menu, ceviche & aguachile, but they didn't give an enthusiastic evaluation. Nothing blew our minds on this first go-round, but a restaurant that serves micheladas & fresh seafood deserves another shot, maybe in the summertime. read more

Looove this place! Delicious ceviche and aguachile, delicious tacos. Seafood is clearly high quality. Great service. Lovely ambiance. I especially love that they keep El Yucateco habanero and xxx spicy hot sauce on the tables. So much more delicious and spicy as compared with other typical brands. My only complaint/suggestion: the tortillas used for the tacos were a bit dry. Also, it would be terrific if there were Giants games on the TVs. Love this spot and can't wait to come back! read more

This spot is adorable and serves the most amazing and fresh seafood! My partner doesn't like seafood so when he was busy one day I decided to take advantage of the opportunity and try this place out by myself, and I'm sooo glad I did! Since I was alone but still wanted to couple different things, I ordered one of the lunch sets (It was actually dinnertime, but they said it was fine). The one I picked came with a fish taco and a small shrimp ceviche (which came with tortilla chips) and they were both amazing. The ceviche was mindblowingly good and I found myself basically drinking the leftover leche de tigre at the end. Everything was incredibly fresh, I was very impressed. I didn't get the michelada but I'll definitely have to try it next time! read more

Delicious ceviche and grilled shrimp! We came with a group of 6 on a Sunday evening, and service was super friendly, prompt and helpful. We loved the micheladas, but would skip the margs next time (weren't fans on the slush) The location is right next to the SF hospital and sometimes the street noise can be a bit loud if you're sitting outside read more

Ceviche and Michelada anyone? While researching places to eat in San Francisco, I stumbled upon this Cevicheria. They're known for their delicious Michelada Ceviche! The Michelada came with a lot of ceviche! And I like how they designed the cup to hold the ceviche! Eating the ceviche, it tasted fresh, well seasoned, and delicious! Everything was cut into nice pieces, the shrimp was perfectly cooked, and the chips with the ceviche were a great combo! Overall, the food was great! If you're ever near Zuckerberg Hospital, check out Dolores Waterfall Cevicheria! The Cevicheria is located across the street in a pink building!! read more

Must try ... fresh, tasty and good size to share between 2-3 people. Warm welcoming service. If you like spicy ... go with the mango habanero (sweet n hot). Don't miss the Dirty horchata. Located in front of ZSFGH, parking is easier than the mission. Two dishes and two boozy drinks = $77 w/ tip read more

Great service, food is super fresh. The place seems new. No separate kitchen, the food is prepared if front of you.

** The following review reflects my delivery experience DURING the COVID-19 pandemic. ** Dolores Waterfall. Doesn't that name sound like a glamorous femme fatale in a film noir murder mystery set in Buenos Aires? I picture her with flaming red hair with legs up to there as she seduces down-on-his-luck gumshoe Nick Niagara only to get shot between the eyes. However, I think this Dolores is a reference to the park, and the owner's name is Leonardo Flores. Despite the oppressive challenges posed by the pandemic, he managed to grow his business from a beverage cart to a Potrero Avenue shop that sells his handmade micheladas and cevicheladas. I look forward to visiting his shop for a true cevichelada, which is a cup of michelada topped by tortilla chips and ceviche. I got 2/3 of that with the $18 Mix Ceviche, a tantalizing combination of shrimp, octopus, scallops, mango, cucumber, and red onion. Perhaps it was more than 2/3 because it was all marinated in something that reminded me of shrimp cocktail but in a good way (photo: https://bit.ly/3sUDgmP). The bounty of crunchy tortilla rounds was the ideal edible scooper...OK, maybe a ladle-like divot would've helped my consumption (photo: https://bit.ly/2PEMdCC). Hey but who's complaining? It was delish. FOOD - 5 stars...ceviche done right AMBIANCE - n/a...looking forward to visiting when we get the all clear SERVICE - 4 stars...it came well packaged and on time TOTAL - 5 stars...could use me a cevichelada about now RELATED - Looking for Latin food?

The idea is great, storefront location on the corner across from General hospital. But they deliver to your home after a certain price AND to dolores park. How great is that! Micheladas was good. The toppings had a good mix of mango, cucumber and shrimp with some chips. The presentation is definitely IG worthy. In terms of the aguachiles, we tried 2. Verde and Rojo. You can pick chips or tostadas which they do not skimp on. I appreciate that 1 of the orders was made less spicy for me who can't do too much heat. Overall enjoyed it, wish we had a bigger serving not because it's tiny at all but just because we wanted more! read more

Kinda pricey for small portions. The mariscos were kinda plain/didn't have much flavor.

I always get the same two things when I go to Waterfall, because I like them so much. Their shrimp ceviche is loaded with mango, and is so flavorful and fresh. Their fish taco is just wonderful. Super-fresh tasting fish freshly fried and totally non-greasy. And loaded with veggies on top, much too much to pick up and eat. I eat some of the toppings until it's a manageable amount to pick up. And that's a good thing! They have a wide array of bottled hot sauces on the tables to choose from, many that I've never seen before. read more

This place is so good! My friend and I stumbled upon it on accident and thank God we did. Best fish tacos for a great prices... Micheladas looked great too. Aguachiles were bomb and actually spicy! We loved them. The customer service was friendly and willing to answer questions. Only critique: Maybe for takeout, package the tortillas separately because they begin to fall apart. You guys have a new fan! read more

Ceviche on a rather hot San Fran day hit the spot! It was the music that drew me in and then the menu! The owners/cooks were very humble, down-to-earth folks who made the space feel very homey like we were at a small get-together with the homies! Though I was solo dolo on a SF adventure , I felt a part of the community upon entrance. The food tasted fresh! Sometimes it is difficult with seafood because of poor preservation practices. The ceviche was bomb! Just wish I had more in my bowl! I appreciated that this place was not stingy with shrimp! A great place for lunch with co-workers or a self date to read and enjoy the ambience. read more

Always delicious!! We love coming here specially on a hot day, the vibe is always vibing!

Excited to try this place (I love seafood), but was a little disappointed. Ordered the shrimp ceviche and fish tacos, but only the shrimp ceviche came. Shrimp ceviche was OK - not as fresh as expected and under-seasoned. Wanted more spice and flavor, so added all 3 types of hot sauces at the table, but it was still missing something. The lasting impression would be the chef (who took my order) trying to charge me for the fish tacos when my server told the him that it never came out. Really wanted to like this place because place looked super cute and festive, but the overall experience and mediocre food kinda leaves a bad taste... read more

Amazeballs!!! Openness, cleanliness, fresh ingredients, large portion and friendliness plus...fairly priced. This spot showcased them all, indeed. Straight forward menu. I had the humongous Cevichelada (look at the photo!) half the size of my head and super refreshing. Fish was 'lightly' breaded which is how I prefer it. Scallops, super fresh. Such an amazing place to hang out, chit chat (great background music) or a date. Give it a go!! read more

Cute restaurant with the freshest seafood and ceviche and well-priced, quality seafood lunch! Found this place while looking for places to eat around the Mission and it exceeded all expectations. Was a little hard to find on Google Maps because it is called "Doloreswaterfall Michelada House" on there, but really glad we made it. Came in for lunch on a weekday and got the fish taco and two shrimp tacos lunch sets ($12 each), each coming with a small shrimp ceviche and chips. After ordering, we saw the chef putting the food in to-go boxes and asked if we could dine in. He offered to plate the food and took the time to shift everything over. The flavors, textures, and seasonings of the fresh fruits, vegetables, and shrimp in the ceviche formed a delicious balance with the chips. The fish taco came with fresh vegetables and creamy sauce that made it incredibly flavorful without being too heavy. My friend who got the shrimp tacos was mind blown by how shrimp in a crispy taco could taste so good. Really impressed by the overall quality of food and amount of care put into our experience. The decor and ambiance was also quite nice, and there were a few tables inside for indoor dining. Will definitely be back for the micheladas and other ceviches! Truly a great find in SF. read more
