Our best intimate dining experience in town. The 4-course tasting menu changes every week or 2. Phenomenal wine list. 12 seats/service so be patient for reservation but it worth it
- David HoltzAugust 16, 2016Such a good deal - 4 course prix fixe meal for $30! Reservation only, so text them to get a spot.
Megan MastersJuly 6, 2012This small resto is so Mission. Small + low-key, you can talk to chef Manny who makes those innovative bites. Come with an open mind and an empty belly and you'll have a great meal.
Ting SJanuary 25, 20164 courses tasting menu is $30 now, but still totally worth it. Go enjoy a very intimate and interesting experience.
jenny rockJanuary 11, 2017Incredible tasting menu. The staff is super friendly and accommodating as well. Love the sake and beer pairings.
Brendan CurranAugust 7, 2014Prix fixe menu at an affordable price. Food is adventurous and the setting is unpretentious. Wait times can be an issue due to the size of the restaurant.
Andres DouglasJuly 12, 2016Amazing tasting menu for $30. Call as soon as you know you want to eat there. Limited seating, usually fills up days in advance.
Melon LJuly 16, 2015Rotating tasting menu depending on what he finds at the market. Must get the arepa but there's no more BYOB

The flan was amazing! The tres leches too! Only thing missing was the soufflé. ;) Bring it back, please! :)
SarahJanuary 20, 2017Tiny place that can only fit ~10–15 people, so make a reservation! Tasting menu only that's now $30/person.
Mario EstradaAugust 28, 2012Come with an open mind and you wont be disappointed. Definitely get an Arepa - they are so delicious!

MarcusMay 4, 2013Use the bathroom, they have the best hand soap and best hand cream in all of San Francisco!
Nichole MayerJuly 19, 2012Tasting menu. Do it. Heard a rumor you can bring your own booze? Next time for sure.
Kat 🐱January 30, 2017I really want to like this place but the food is... way below average. Not only the food aren't very flavourful, all meat in their dishes have this weird mushy texture :(
If you are not in a hurry, sit back, get the tasting menu and have a few laughs with Manny, the artist of the Mission.
Mark T.August 22, 2013I could tell you what I ate, but it's just going to be different when you eat here..
LorcánOctober 24, 2015You don't even know how much you owe it to yourself to eat here [if you have no food restrictions].
Rafael BlickwedeDecember 15, 2010Just say surprise me! And sit back, if you see an open table take it.
