Los Yucatecos Restaurant

This place is severely underrated. The food was delicious and very authentic, I was surprised the place was almost empty at dinner time! (It was a Monday but still)But that meant we got really great service and could hear each other speak so win win. Can wait to go back!

Back on skid row to try another place for the first time. Was feeling like Menudo (Mexican Tripe soup) and didn't want to trudge down to my favorite places in the Mission so I decided to try Los Yucatecos on Ellis at Larkin. First, Menudo is not on the printed menu. It's a Fri + weekend special. I give it a solid 4/5 for the menudo itself. Comes with the usual lime wedges, some cilantro and tortillas. The accompanying corn tortillas are hand made when you order them and were soft, fresh and just better than most other places. 5/5 for the great tortillas. For added heat they have a home made habanero sauce. Be warned it is very flavorful but also VERY spicy. A teaspoon will make a bowl of Menudo an 11/10 on most folks' heat scale. But no doubt a 5/5 for the killer home made habanero hot sauce. They have Agua Frescas in Tamarind, Hibiscus and Horchata flavors. I'm glad I went with the light and refreshing Jamaica/Hibiscus given how much of the hot sauce I added to my soup. 4/5 for the Agua Fresca. And closed out with their Flan. The sweetness was just right but it was a tad bit on the dense / thicker side for my taste. 4/5 for the Flan. Service is great. Sat at the bar which was a little odd because there is no room under the bar top so I had to lean over to eat. But solid overall and a great find. Will be back for the regional Yucatán items like Cochinita Pibil and Relleno Negro. Just a note .. if you come here for tacos the only meat options are Cochinita (roasted, marinated pork), Carnitas (Grilled pork) and Chicken (shredded)... and that's typical for a Yucatán place.

Came to this place for the first time. I love it the food was fresh. We order the chicken. Panuchos they were great the tortilla was crunchy the vegetables were good. We got one chicken Tamal and we also got one Chicken empanadas. The tamal was not bad or good it tasted like a regular tamal nothing exciting. The empanada was really good well seasoned and it had nice toppings. Overall I will be coming back to this place again.

Had a tamale, a panucho de pollo, and a salbut de carnitas. I liked the carnitas the most of the three. The tortilla on the salbut was puffy and soft and the pork was nice and moist. The panucho didn't really do it for me. The tamale was alright. I'd go back to try some of their various soups and stews that look pretty good.

One panucho Two panucho three panucho More...This place is great.What a great addition to the neighborhood.I had one each of the panuchos and wanted more.. each panucho was packed with meat and fresh veggies yet very different in flavors and taste.. Now that I have the full menu to review. I will be back to try the other Yucatán delights on their menu..

Excellent food! Most of the dishes are tapas style with an array of individual tacos and other dishes to choose from. Even though the food says "fried," it's all very light and not greasy. You can certainly leave satiated without having to buy one of everything. Each plate is around $4, and with the quality of the food, it isn't unreasonable. I was able to try some new dishes, and everything was excellent!Be warned, their hot sauce is bright and spicy, so a little goes a long way. My guess is that it's primarily habanero-based. If you enjoy spicy food, then definitely give it a try!

Awesome unique food and presentation. Regretfully it's like they forgot about us once we finished up and went to the cashier after waiting for a check to arrive, but never did. Will be back for food, and hopefully better service to try other tasty options we saw but didn't get this time around.

Great service!!! Wonderful food!!! Homemade corn tortillas were delicious. Everything was amazing!!!Jamaica had the perfect taste!!

The food was unlike Mexican food I have had before, but that is due to the region it hails from. Absolutely delicious, will definitely be back

great late night spot! The empanadas are so warm and delicious. You will see me again.
