Great atmosphere, attentive staff, and flavorful food. Portions are big, enough for a second meal. The side of guac was massive, too. Food presentation was also nice - complete with edible flowers.

Delightfully surprised by this place. Huevos Rancheros is so good, but the Burrito Mojado is even better. You'll need a to-go box after!

Chicken quesadilla is excellent. Good beer specials. Big portions. Single seat friendly dining.

Excellent Mexican food, and pretty affordable too. Try the fried chicken quesadilla, the duck confit tacos, the meatball appetizer, and definitely the chocolate mousse dessert. Amazingness!!

Fried chicken quesadilla- what more is there in life? And when they say the charred jalapeño margarita is spicy: believe them.

Awesome fish tacos: perfectly breaded, not too oily, in a chipotle aoli. When we went they didn't have their liquor license yet but grab a spot at the bar and have a taco!

From the owners of Chez Maman. Good Mexican in Hayes. Enjoy the chips & salsas, and then get the fried chicken burrito. Note: don't expect a Mission style burrito.

Best brunch in Hayes Valley - and if you get here for their opening time at 11am on a weekend you don’t have to queue

The vegetable omelette is the best in the neighborhood neighborhood. And the side of fruit was giant and perfectly ripe.

French inspired Mexican duck confit taco is good if you like sweetness. Other tacos - al pastor and fried chicken are great

Go with a small crew and get the 10 tacos for $30 deal. Go for the duck confit, fried chicken, and fish tacos.
nils jansonSeptember 27, 2014
If you come here and get tacos, and they aren't fish tacos, you're doing it wrong. The fish tacos are incredible.
Ben CoffeeDecember 28, 2014
Food is delicious. Extraordinary guacamole! Love the location and cute outdoor seating.
Arielle ZMay 26, 2015
The duck confit tacos and the Papito salad with grilled shrimp are so good! They also serve Hitachino Nest beer.

Salsa, guacamole & char grilled shrimp salad best. Skip over cooked ceviche mixto. Good cocktails and service.

The food here is great, can't go wrong. Good for groups or by yourself. Fancy Mexican done right.

Steak fajitas are great, but ask for sour cream and avocado/guacamole since it doesn't come with either.
Vanessa SilvaOctober 21, 2015

If Mexican and French cuisine got together and had the most amazing fried chicken burrito baby, this would be it. 😍
Emma NordungJune 3, 2017
Yummy and friendly staff. (Very very noisy on a Friday night though.)
Z WangJune 22, 2016
The Super Burrito with cod. yes cod. Is insane. Lightly fried. Hits the SPOT.
Ashley AlvarezDecember 19, 2017
Always get more tacos than you think you want. Especially the al pastor.
Renato Valdes OlmosJune 10, 2014
Classic Mexican fare with a French touch here and there. Protip: add duck confit to your taco/burrito.

Fajitas!!! My favorite here. The tacos are also amazing
Willie WonkersOctober 13, 2018
Quedo fundido was decent. Portions are small - guacamole was small to average size but tacos were miniature. Too many good restaurants in SF fo go here. Surprised by the reviewers on crack here.

House Gacamole. Tortilla with chicken. Prepare to wait for week-end lunch

Their red salsa is a few shakes of oregano away from being marinara

The original location in Portrero Hill is much better and more authentic.
