El Sabor Yucateco

This place undoubtedly does not get the attention it deserves because of its location. I won't go into detail but it's easy to get within a block of this place and turn right around in any direction except for here. Enough of that, and onto the food. We tried the panuchos and everyone at the table really liked every component of the dish. We tried the poc chuc and the cochinita and each was exceptional. A gentlemen at the table over ordered the chicken fajitas and I can't imagine that they weren't as good as what we ate. If you're anywhere near this place do yourself a favor and stop by. You won't be disappointed.

I love this place, and if I could, İ'd eat there every day This is not haute cuisine if that's what one expects. I've been trying to find the words to convey why they are so special to me. First of all, I'm Muslim and with pefHF heart failure so the options for me on their rich menu are few. The fish, rice, black bean sauce and plantain were delicious and just too much to finish. İ took my time to eat it all just out of respect for the attention paid to its preparation: as a young teenager, İ ate in a lotta places in South America, Brasil, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, and the plantain they served is too delicious to describe. ( My only personal querk is how boring fresh lettuce is, and the plate was piled high with fresh lettuce, all of which i dutifully finished off, because in my religion, you finish off your food out of respect to nature 😁✌🏽😁, and it was a pleasure to do so because I felt just so at home there it could have been at home with Mom) As a "foreigner" in San Francisco, I'm exhausted with its attitude that they're doing you a royal favour allowing you even to come in to their so special establishment: I'm 82, seriously disabled, have traveled half the world, lived overseas almost half a century and eaten in everything from palaces, the best five stars, to shepherds huts in alpine mountain top pastures in the middle east, and fresh catch in small fisherman's village homes on the Indian Ocean so San Francisco just is not that special - yes İ love MexiCali food but choke on its attitude I've never been in Yucatan, but as a small kid in the early 50s we ate at a lot of local hometown eating places with good food locally grown and friendly and comfortable and delicious İf this is Yucatan, i hope İ get to go there some day. Even the table cloths are delicious. İ wanted to eat one of them too. Gracious caring sevice. Glad to have you there and the other diners all seemed pretty local too. No attitude. One of the joys of travel is eating in the local eatery, letting the strain and pain flow away and eating good food like you are visiting your aunt or distant cousin's place. I was too exhausted even to call the Uber to take me home, and felt so warm in the Uber when İ left and the driver was another expat American and we spoke Turkish all the way there. Perfect ending of a very trying day

They clearly don’t know the difference between chicken and Carnitas, which is pork. I ordered a torta de Carnitas and they ended up giving me a torta de Pollo. When I went back, the lady working cashier tried to convince me that the torta was in fact, Carnitas. I’m a Afro-Latina girl and I clearly look African-American— she was trying so hard to convince me up until I start speaking Spanish.. don’t come here don’t waste your time here. That’s when she offered a full refund which of course I took and advised them that I would never be back to this establishment . Don’t waste your money if you’re looking for good food just go up the street.

An absolute gem. I was looking for an eggless breakfast and this place fit the bill perfectly. This food is authentic mexican, not the comparatively soulless Tex-mex we're used to in america. I implore everyone to try this if you're in the area. The pollo panucho and pollo pibil were extraordinary, as was the watermelon juice. The lady was very nice to me, let me in early and fed me early, maybe people in the reviews are just used to people being nice in a shallow way. This lady is nice in an authentic Mexican way, through her actions and her food. Love this place, I'll be ranting and raving about it to anyone who will listen.

Super flavorful and authentic. Impeccable textures. These restaurants are the ones that deserve spotlight, that neighborhoods and cities should hold dear at all costs. Seriously, seriously awesome food.
