Cute decor, a bit noisy as it was right by the street. We had a lunch reservation but didn't really need one as we got seated quickly. The breakfast food was delicious (especially the potatoes). However I did get the birria tacos and they were a bit disappointing, which makes sense as they cater towards breakfast items.

The food is delicious! We got the breakfast burrito and the breakfast sandwich and both were amazing.The coffee on the other hand was 2.5/5 and the service was kinda bad. It took a while for us to even get menus after we sat then the food took a while and I got the wrong milk in my coffee. Would return for the food and probably just do take out. The ambiance was chill and was happy they didn't have a line on a Saturday!

Casual cozy cafe serving breakfast and lunch dishes along with Latin American dishes. We went on a Sunday morning around 11:35 am and they were busy. While we got seated promptly, it took them a while to take our order and drinks. The waitress was very apologetic stating that they were short staffed but she was very friendly and attentive once she started to serve us. Food review:Huevos Rancheros (3.5/5): A deconstructed huevos rancheros where every item were placed next to each other on this dish. This might work for some people who want to choose what specific food items to combine together based on their own preferences, but IMO, this presentation didn't make this dish enticing. However, the salsa and fried plantains were good and the over easy eggs were cooked perfectly. Cost: $17.00Chiliquiles Rancheros (4/5): Good combination of flavors from the crispy tortilla chips, rancheros sauce, eggs and sliced avocados on the side (with add-on: carnitas under the eggs). Cost: $21.00Note: We originally wanted to order the loaded carnitas hash but they had run out of the crispy potatoes by 12 noon. However, the waitress stated that they could sub french fries instead of crispy potatoes for this dish. We asked the waitress if her name was Paula and she said no. She did tell us that the cafe was under new ownership.

Cat sitting nearby so came to check out Paula's cafe after almost a year. The chilaquiles were just the right amount of spicy with their house made hot sauce. The eggs over easy runny yolk gave a slight break to the spicy heat and the crunchy and soft tortilla chips gave a nice texture to the meal. The carnitas was a nice salty crunchy and juicy topping. The service was attentive and free refill of coffee was appreciated after a night of sleep interrupted by the cat getting exercise running around in the hardwood floors. Only awkward part was the seat looking out the front window was looking down into the tables right out in front of the cafe. Possibly some colorful window dressing to keep from making eye contact with the other guests would be helpful with this issue. Or is this just me?

Solid little breakfast burrito cooked fresh with cheese, potato, bacon, and lots of scrambled egg. I think it could use a little more salt, but overall tasty!

Paula's Cafe impresses with its Eggs Benedict, featuring perfectly poached eggs and a rich hollandaise sauce. The Lomo Saltado offers a taste of Peru with marinated steak and fries Amazing and faster service! Vibrant ambience.

Chilaquiles Rancheros were fresh, hot and tasty. Quick, friendly service, fun location in Lower Haight near hip bars, record stores, shops.

We were surprised that Paula's cafe was MUCH more than just a cafe. We came in for a restroom then found that there was an extensive menu with burritos and other yummy dishes. We decided to stay for lunch and split a carne asada grilled burrito, and WOWIE! It was so crispy and delicious. If you like beans, you'll be pleased to find plenty of them on the burrito, with a generous amount of the rest of filling as well. The salsa to dip in was also scrumptious. We didn't end up buying a coffee but we did see that there was an extensive coffee beverage menu as well. The decorations were adorable, with a lot of paintings and leafs/floral decor. It felt like a homey hispanic restaurant despite it being in a small nook in SF. The server was very sweet as well, we'd happily come here again when we're in the area.
