Otra

Came here on a Saturday night and it was packed! We still managed to be seated without having to wait, but I wouldn't count on that. The food was amazing, and very friendly service! Also the portions are quite generous. My friend and I shared the quesa birria tacos, pozole, mussels, fish tacos and it was borderline too much food - their portion sizes are generous! Pozole (5/5) -- first time trying it and it was super rich and flavorful. Perfect amount of heat and a good amount of tortilla chips Mussels (4.5/5) -- the portion size was much more than I expected. Docked half a point because the mussels themselves are smaller than I'm used to, but that's just me being picky. The broth was very tasty. I would still get this again! Quesabirria tacos (4/5) -- there was a lot of cheese, would have liked to have more meat and texture. If you prefer quesadillas this would be a good choice! Fish tacos (5/5) -- these were soooo good. The slaw was perfection and the fish was perfectly crispy and seasonedWe will definitely be back!!

First and foremost, I'm an Otra fan. The food is tasty, the drinks are good, and vibe is great. They're good about dietary needs (especially if you're GF or vegetarian). The bar doesn't really have a social feel the way that the bars at some restaurants do, but that isn't a negative. It's definitely on the fancier end of tacos, but the tastes and vibes are worth it for a good night out. Bigger thing is that I happened to go on Tuesday this week, and lo and behold, stumbled upon their amazing Taco Tuesday. Very cheap tacos and cheap margaritas. Your options are meat or veggie, but if you're looking for a cheap meal with good vibes and aren't super picky, go on a Taco Tuesday. While normally, Otra is an option when friends come to town, on a Tuesday I'd go to Otra just for a couple tacos and no special occasion.

Hosted two bday dinners here so far! Good tacos and good vibes, never seen this place being crowded. I had thought the beef tacos were my favorite when I visited in the past. but I was wrong! My favorite dish was indeed the Aguachile - so good! (Ceviche). The fish chunks were so huge, and their spicy level was actually spicy spicy.Also i loved the chips with black bean sauce, but the spicy sauce that came with it was really good.Charred Cabbage: Surprisingly delicious not as a salad fan - smoky and flavorful.Tacos: The quesabirria tacos were probably my fav, the beef tacos were second best. The mushroom tacos were pretty good and the fish tacos were okay.Spicy margarita is actually spicy spicy so i warn you (some of us could not even have it and they thought it was terrible but i could handle). The regular margarita is perfect

Otra is a fantastic spot to meet up with friends. We had reservations, and the staff accommodated our shifting group size with understanding. I quickly sat down as my friends ran 10 minutes late, and I did not have to idle in the corridor. I appreciated being sat down and offered to take my drink order while waiting. We were seated upstairs and pleased to see a ramp allowing accessibility for all patrons. The menu, with its perfectly curated variety of shared bites between friends. It allowed us to sample a more extensive variety of delectable dishes. The drinks were delicious and fun, and the staff was attentive and ensured our drinks flowed. Service was excellent as we grazed slowly and ordered plates continuously. Not being rushed allowed us to catch up and celebrate our friend. The staff and the setting is a perfect spot for two or a group of friends.

The food and drinks were amazing! We showed up around 830 and got seated in 20 minutes. We were able to wait at the bar and order drinks and chips. The drinks were fabulous. We got seated and our server had the best recommendations from the menu. Service is quick and friendly. Inside is dim lit and cozy. Cute for a date night or to catch up w friends. The food was really good - we loved the birria and tuna tacos along w the tomato salad. Would go again for sure.

I went to Otra with some friends for happy hour after hearing that they had incredible vegetarian tacos. We had no trouble getting seated in the middle of the week and had the option of sitting outside in their Parklet or inside their super cute restaurant. We ordered some Aguachiles, salsa, and the brussels sprouts off of the happy hour menu and everything was incredible. The portion size was also impressive for a happy hour menu and the price was super reasonable. Having heard so much about their non-meat tacos I decided to try the mushroom tacos and the fish tacos. They both blew me away and were pretty decently sized. The service is also super friendly and quick. I can't believe I hadn't tried this place sooner because it was amazing!! Half way through dinner. I also found out that two of my friends there had eaten there the night before, and loved it so much that they did not suggest going to a new placeOverall highly recommend for any non-meat, eaters or pescatarians, who are looking for a cute spot to go out for a date night or happy hour with friends. So grateful that this exists in the lower haight!

Cozy atmosphere for starters! Tasty plates and lively cocktails. These menus are familiar to most pallets so nothing intimidating or out of the order will be encountered. There are vegetarian options which is always bonus.I would certainly give Otra a second visit.

For starters we had the Frijolitos with beans and corn chips. Nice mild flavor but the Agualiche with corn chips was super spicy. Eat only the fish and chips and it's much tolerable. $14-$18 for 2 tacos? I couldn't decide on the mushroom, cod, or beef tacos. Waitress said those are the 3 top choices and just enumerated the ingredients. I chose the cod tacos. It came in a deep fried battered cod with a heaping serving of lettuce and amazing sauce on corn tacos. Loved it! My companions ordered the Quesabirria tacos , rich and filling. Grilled pork ala pastor, tasty, Carnitas tacos, didn't sample it, and Tuna tostada, too sour.For dessert, we ordered the Tres leches cake and Churros with dipping chocolate for the girls' birthday. The place was packed and noisy. The waitress checked on us numerous times despite the scores of customers. I'm really not a Mexican food fan but this place was a thumbs up for me!

Stars are more 3.5 than 3.Overall the food was pretty good, even though the grilled pork was a little bit overcooked.The mushroom taco was good, maybe I was expecting more in terms of taste.We ordered also rice and beef for our baby and the meat was very tender.Overall it was a good experience and I'd like to give another try for other plates.

Went on a Tuesday night with a friend, we were able to get a table easily. The restaurant was dimly lit, with a well-stocked bar and a few tables lining the opposite wall. We started with the totopos (tortilla chips) and salsas, which were well salted, thin, and crispy. My favorite was the red salsa--I believe the charred salsa molcajete--it was just so flavorful and rich. I ordered the cauliflower pastor tacos as my main, my friend got the fish tacos. Each dish came with two by default. Both were really tasty, but pretty small for how much they were. Maybe we should have ordered one more plate of tacos to split between us, but oh well.Overall, I'd come back to try more of their tacos and drinks--next time just need to order more!
