While travelling through California from Europe, we learned that if we want to be sure to get really good food quality for a decent price, we should head to the Mexican restaurant. SanJalisco is the point in case, large portions (we took away half of our food), delicious food and drinks, very friendly staff. When you see local Mexican people dining there, you know it’s good! Recommending to tourists visiting San Francisco as well!

Disappointing experience. All the dishes are slightly worse than expected. The bierria goat soup is too acidic. The Roy's fish tacos are tasted like nothing. Fried plantains are decent. The micheladas were excellent though. Restaurant is small, there was a slight wait on Friday during peak hours

Great vibes at the restaurant. Came around 6 on a Saturday and did not have to wait. Everyone gets a free order of salsa and chips which were really flavorful and fresh. We ordered a rainbow trout dish which I thought was slightly disappointing. Nothing super flavorful but still good portions, would probably try something different next time. Also got the Birria lamb soup. Super flavorful and really meaty. Feels very heavy to eat as a soup as it is a lot of meat, but still good. Got the leche flan to finish off which was good for the price. Overall, good value and good vibes.

What a great restaurant we stumbled upon while in The Mission District. The decor is so much fun. Bright and cheerful. We were greeted, seated and our order was promptly. We enjoyed our cold beers and our food arrived quickly. The first bite brought me back to my childhood; my grandmother’s kitchen. The tortillas were made fresh and the flavors of the carnitas was superb!!! I WILL BE BACK!!

The service and the food is very good, and they are very attentive, on several occasions they approached my table if it was occupying something? It is something very homely of them to do that The food is Enough, be careful what you order, because the dishes are very Abundant and the Handmade Tortillas are and sufficient. Service of 5 ! Sometimes you have to wait outside, because the place is very busy, try to arrive at a good time and find a good parking

The staff all looked like they just came from a funeral. Terrible vibe and energy. Not saying I need for them to do summersaults, but at least crack a smile, ONCE. As consumers, we have many options, and we chose YOUR establishment, so how about making the customer feel welcome. However, the food was good and plentiful, but probably will not go there again ...

Enjoyed their vegetarian flautas! Their salsa is also super good. Great atmosphere at the restaurant too. However, was a bit surprised to only get 2 flautas for the price It did come with a side of rice & beans, but I would have preferred smaller side of the rice & beans and more flautas instead.

Ok Im going to try not to be cruel and this is a late post, but the truth is the owner doesnt care and its obvious theyre cutting corners by microwaving and freezing pre-made food. Listen if you gave this restaurant a 5 star you need a taste because the food is bland and Im positive theyre using leftovers as well. I ordered the combo 2 sopes and a flauta. I have never in my life seen any of our people flood a green salad mix that looks like its bagged on top of sopes. The amount of greens on the sopes made them dissappear under a flood of tasteless sauce. The sopes were hard on the edges and thin in the middle. The flautas werent fleshly made either because they were hard and chewy the meat was hard and chewy. The rice had to be at least 1 or 2 day old rice microwaved. The only thing edible were the beans. I asked the young waiter if they microwaved my dish which he hesitated and said no. I knew he had to be lying Im sure its not his fault but then I witness him put a bag of chips in the microwave. That made sense as to why our chips tasted a bit stale. My cousin ordered the menudo it was . I actually noticed that the mendoza juice looked a little bubbly through out which actually means that its going bad and bacteria is growing. Im shocked no one has bern in the ER after eating here. I feel bad because this restaurant has the potential of being a 5 if they prepared the food the day of instead of using left over hard rice and frozen pre-made dishes. Most people who gave 4 to 5 stars probably dont know how to cook or a tipsy because it doesnt add up. When I complained I was offered a replacement but I refused because none of the food was good so am i going to get a replacement of dishes that arent good but I didnt get a refund even though I didnt eat my food well only ate the the beans and my drink. The host looks like she has a chip on her shoulder and didnt refund me. I will never go here again. FYI it is illegal to charge a credit card fee on a debit car in California. It doesnt matter if you use your signature when they run it as a credit card it is still illegal because a debit card is NOT a credit card. If any business does that, you need to report them to the California Consumers Department or the Attorney General For debit cards and prepaid cards, surcharging is prohibited even when the card is run as a signature-based transaction without the PIN. This restriction was implemented by the Durbin Amendment of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The Durbin Amendment refers specifically to debit card transactions and includes the cap on interchange fees from the card networks.

Went with my wife and 2 friends. The food was okay. Not much flavor and not what I expected from a Mexican restaurant in SF. The chips and salsa were better than my carnitas burrito. The service was not good at all. The waitress took our order, brought our food and drinks, and never came back. My Coke was empty and never refilled. The ambiance was cool. It wasnt too loud, and they had music playing in the background. Overall, though, I wouldnt return to try anything else.

We arrived here and waited about 20-25 minutes to be seated because they were full and had a waitlist (no problem, we were willing to stay as this made us think it was going to be a great experience as witnessed by its popularity). Once sat, it took almost 10 minutes to put in a drink order. We attempted to also order an appetizer but were told no, that another waitress would take our order. Another 15 minutes pass by in which the table of 3 who were seated after us already had their drinks and food-we still havent been able to even order at this point. I flagged a waitress down who was cleaning another table and asked to order; she wad pleasant and said someone would be right with us. We ordered and the person who assisted us was friendly. Maybe 10 minutes pass by and my partners food came out. Mine never showed and nobody ever came back to our table to deliver it or explain what was going on (I ordered mole enchiladas-not something that takes an extended amount of time to prepare). Finally 15 minutes later I flagged a other waitress down who sent over the original waitress, telling me there was a mistake with my order so they were remaking it. I was extremely annoyed at this point as the service was absolutely not there for such a popular place. I forgot to mention, the earlier table being cleaned was already full of two patrons who were drinking & eating their food yet I was still waiting. This was two tables that were sat right after and far after us who were promptly served. My enchiladas come out soon after and everything looked great except for the tomatoes that Id requested off. My partner enjoyed his fish tacos aside from the lack of sauce and repeated requests for limes. The ambiance is special and the decor is nice, but the overall service (mainly lack thereof) is what prompts this negative review. Its worthy to note that the presumed regulars visiting this restaurant were taken care of with speedy service (waitresses hugging & conversing with patrons) while we never even got a single drink refill.

I dont recommend seafood. He comes to life, tasting more like ketchup than anything else. When trying to move the saucer, it got all over my clothes and it took a while for someone to help me at least with napkins or a cloth. When the rocker realized it, he left me a few napkins and disappeared (he was busy). At the moment I was embarrassed to tell them something and out of pure shame I paid for everything plus tip and left sad and hungry.

I hate to do this cause the food was good but after eating here Sunday during the Carnival festival with a group of 8 friends 6 of us had food poisoning after eating here. I m only writing this review because the owners should be aware that one of their employees is most likely cross contaminating food and getting people sick. Which is not going to be good for business. I hope they can figure out who s not using proper hygiene in the kitchen.

The warm corn tortillas are made in house, they really elevate the whole meal, absolutely delicious. Service was friendly, quick, and very efficient. Complimentary chips and salsa were very good. My only gripe about my entire experience here was the rice should have been fresher, it was very dry. San Jalisco is definitely putting out excellent food at reasonable prices and very good service.

A nice place to enjoy Mexican food; You should arrive with extra time since if you arrive during peak breakfast time you will have to wait up to 40 minutes. The waitresses are very friendly, the food service is fast and hygienic.

This establishment has a solid reputation of serving the freshest food. I either order the green enchiladas or the mole. The chicken is moist seasoned well. The Verde is delicious there seems to be just enough to cover the fluffy Spanish rice. This is a must visit restaurant...study the menu find you a new favorite dish or two or three. The wait staff are pleasant, professional and ready to serve you.

I love this little place. The waitstaff is quick and efficient, and the carnitas Tacos Dorado and a cheese enchilada with green sauce combination is my fav. My pal had chicharones, and another had enchiladas with mole. All the chairs have loteria card chair backs, there are Dia de Los Muertos tchotchkes everywhere, the decor is so charming.

Good food and well placed location even if hard to find parking. Can be over crowded many times. Be prepared to wait but worth it for the occasional food jaunt
