Las Tinajas Restaurant

Las Tinajas has been 1 of the few nicaragüense restaurants in SF. The food is good and they offer a variety of dishes, desserts and drinks. The bistek in this occasion was seasoned well, super soft. Gallopinto wasn't dry which is great and was a wonderful compliment to the dish. Tajadas were nice and crunchy but not too salty. Overall, I've always enjoyed las tinajas. Check it out if you want to try Nicaraguan food.

I've only been once but I know the food is amazing. My only reason for not giving 5 stars is because I was disappointed in the service. It was my first time coming in so I didn't understand that you order near the front and then scoot down to the register to pay. There was a woman there when we walked in but she never addressed us and barely looked at us so we scooted up thinking we could order at the register but we couldn't. By that time 3 people showed up and were helped before we could even order so we had to wait more to just be acknowledged. We ordered and were told it would take about 20 mins, not a big deal. I love fresh food. But even after that, they forgot about giving us our drink, forgot to bring honey when I asked for some and my plate also didn't come with the cabbage slaw. I was so over it by then that I didn't even tell them. We had to mention so many things to them that I was just frustrated and didn't feel like trying anymore.The carne asada plate I had was sooo delicious but I think they overcharge for the food. They have a big menu and something for everyone.I would love to come back but I hope I experience better service so I can update my review and give them 4-5 stars.

I really enjoyed the carne asada here. I order carne asada whenever I see it on a menu since it is one of my favorite meals. I've had it at many Latin American restaurants, and sadly, at least half the time it is overcooked and tasteless. However, at Las Tinajas, it is flavorful and juicy. It is so good. At $20, the plate includes rice and plantains, which I think is a very good value for a plate with generous portions. We went for lunch with a large group and easily found a large table. I also really liked their selection of aguas frescas. I had the pitaya (dragonfruit) and it was excellent. I would definitely come back here.

Over rated,Poor service and over priced. I've hosted my mother's birthday here with a party of over 30, twice. Todsy, when I presented a problem with my to go order over the phone, they resolved it by hanging up on me. I'll be eating at a competitor up the street..

Food is delicious. The restaurant itself is pretty laid back. You order at the front then find a table. I docked two stars off as the ladies in front were not as friendly and didn't even acknowledge my "thank yous". I understand people have bad days but maybe don't put them at the register as that represents the first impression. Horrible customer service !

This is an old school place, you don't need a review from me. You're either coming here or you're not. I just wanted to add a decent picture of the menu because most of the pics on here are either blurry or old... or both!

Terrible food quality super expensive over the top. This place is not worth it. Almost $40 for a meal in a hole in the wall.?these people need to just close down! They charge you for every little thing I was shocked that they didn't charge me for napkins and a fork

Worst customer service! Lady in the front started screaming at me and saying she doesn't sell the cheese because they won't be coming in for months! I did not understand and she was so rude!!! I've being coming here for years and not exactly for the customer experience. Never again!!!!! I ended up with a bill of $45 not eating the food! Horrible it's always latinas with rude behavior!! They said the wait time for the plate would be 25 minutes!

The food is delicious, good portions & reasonable priced. The staff are amazing, kind, caring, and accommodating. My wife is from Nicaragua, and we found the food to be totally authentic. There are a variety of dishes to choose from. We enjoyed it so much on Monday that we came back today (Wednesday) before our flight home to Ontario Airport.

One of my favorite places to eat in San Francisco the best plate in the Antojitos totally recommend
