    This place is amazing! Food is so good, cheap, and the dude gave us free guac, refrescas and bean purée to try. A must-go if you're near the Mission District. Shrimp tacos and braised pork were solid.

    The vegie trio (empanada, panuchos and salbutes) was eclectic, delicious and filing for the awesome price of $9. The complimentary chips (on the crunchier side) and salsas were also solid.

    The OG of San Francisco BYOBs, Poc Chuc has become a destination for their perfectly executed take on Mayan cuisine. The namesake poc chuc is stellar. Read more

    The Yucatecan food here has a little extra polish, thanks to the chef's higher-end training. The poc-chuc (marinated, grilled pork) is the dish to order. Read more

    Some great Yucatan food from a mom and pop restaurant. My favorite was any dish with pork. Oh so tasty.

    The poc-chuc is phenomenal, and you can get it in taco form if you want to try other things

    Poc chuc (pork), chimole de pavo (turkey in mole), appetizer platter. A little too salty but really tasty with the soft, thick homemade tortillas

    The Poc-Chuc, obviously, is fantastic. They'll even sub sauteed veggies if you don't eat rice.

    The signature dish, Poc Chuc, is great for any tastebuds. For the more adventurous, the turkey mole is delicious. The service here is absolutely outstanding!

    Order the chimole de pavo (turkey in black mole, a.k.a. pavo en relleno negro), eat with plenty of fresh, tender, delicious tortillas that somebody's abuelita must make in back.
