Catrachita Yucateca

4.5 STARSOpening a new resto in the city is crazy. Opening a resto in the 'loin (TL) is even crazier and takes some gigantic balls. And, Catrachita Yucateca did it in the span of one month which is unheard of in the city. Mad props. Opening in early September 2024, Catrachita Yucateca took over Lapats Thai Noodles Bar (closed August 2024). They're open for takeout, delivery, and indoor dining. M E N UMix of Honduran Cuisine (baleadas, sopa de frijoles, pollo con tajadas, etc.) and Yucatán Cuisine (salbutes, panuchos, cochinita, poc-chuc, etc.). English translations on the menu were a little off. Beer available. F O O D* Baleada Especial w/ fried beans, cheese, egg, avocado, sour cream ($6.99) // 4.5 Stars: https://tinyurl.com/c9spuu4nMy goal is to try every baleada in the city (think a large Honduran soft taco) and this is right up there with my favs in The Mission/Outer Mission area. The handmade, griddled flour tortilla was thick, soft and chewy with a nice elasticity. Filled with creamy mashed beans, soft scrambled eggs, sprinkle of queso duro, a sliver of avocado, and creamy crema. Savory and deliciously satisfying.Their housemade habanero-jalapeno hot sauce packed a fiery tangy punch. * Poc-Chuc: Pork soaked in "beer" overnight, black beans, cabbage, and avocado ($18.95) // 4 Stars: https://tinyurl.com/53ab522vA signature dish of Yucatán, poc-choc is citrus marinated grilled pork (I think the english translation was off on the menu). The thin slices of pork was a tad dry but had a good smoky flavor and citrus tang. I really the crispy charred edges. Served with a side of creamy frijoles (black beans), tender rice, mild salsa martajada, slaw, and pickled onions. Three handmade corn tortillas were also included (thick, soft, and chewy). S E R V I C EAwkward start but the chef who brought out my order was very kind and gracious. I was the only diner at the time (weekday lunch) and my order took about 10-15 minutes. A M B I A N C ELow key with faux plants and TV playing american football. Seating for about 30 people. P A R K I N GMetered street parking.Overall, solid Honduran and Yucatán food in the TL, and they're the only place that serves Honduran food in the area. If you're looking for something new to try other than the usual Viet and Thai restos in the TL, give this new business a try!

Amazing food! We came here for the baleadas, which is our favorite Honduran food. We saw the variety of dishes in their menu and decided to try the "Salbut de Cochinita de Pibil (pork)" and the "Panuchos de Carne Asada", which is their version of tacos, and it was truly exquisite! Their flan is a must!The place is aesthetic and very clean. The staff were friendly and the service was prompt. Our visit was a great experience and this will easily be one of our favorite places in San Francisco.

A friend called if I was hungry and grab something.We walked a couple of blocks and we thought we were walking into a Thai place, but, even better a new 20-day-old Mexican Restaurant! Specially Yucatán Restaurant. We tried a little of everything and it was all wonderful.The side of rice was perfect and the tacos were delicious. My friend had the seafood dinner and added the rice because it was so good. The restaurant was open and welcoming, the music did not overpower the conversation and the waitress was friendly and respectful checked on us but didn't hover. I will go back again. My only request I would love a Margarita! Worth a visit...

Really fresh food, service, ambience, and options. Many drink options including coffee. New and intimate/cozy. Only been here once.

This couple open up a restaurant in the tenderloin that is a mix of Hund, Aaron and Yucateca cuisine. She's from Honduras he's Mexican and the food they make is very homestyle, authentic and Filling. The meats are prepared perfectly with the rice seasonings, and you could still taste the natural flavors of the meat and it's not overpowered by any spices. They have different levels of spices that you could choose from. Please make sure to check before using them there is one that is Hot. Tortillas are made right there and all the breakfast ladders are large portions. Not to mention the meals are also large portions although they appear expensive. It is totally worth it. You'll have leftovers regardless the size of your appetite. I tried the carnitas baleada and it was amazing. So was the chicken panucho

Delicious food prepared by husband and wife co-owners. Everything was delicious - especially the plate of carne asada, camarones & green bananas!, rice & beans & salad with avocado.

First things first, the service is phenomenal. Everyone there was smiling and treated me well. The food came out in a timely manner. The food was delicious as well. Well seasoned. Reminded me of Honduras honestly. Great location as well. I tried a "Panucho" which is a common dish from Yucatán, Mexico. It was really good. The "Pollo con tajadas" was good as well.
