Yucatasia

Probably the most delicious traditional Yucatán food I have tried. The talking lasting taste in every bite. The dishes we ordered came in bowls soaking in broth. Servers were friendly and explained the menu well. Food was speedy. There are nice pictures on the walls.

I stopped in for a quick taco at a place in the SF Mission District today as I was visiting the Sunday Streets event (amazing daytime fun in the sun!). I thought it would be a quick visit for a five minute taco fix to fill my belly, but as I looked closer at the menu for this tiny restaurant on Mission near 18th, I feel into a deep trance- and the magic of authentic Yucutan cooking began to make me want to explore further.As I perused the menu, my eyes grew wider, braised turkey? My favorite!! On your choice of corn AND choice of tortilla thickness, AND fry level?? Wow! I loved the Watermelon Fresca- it was so fresh and with a perfect balance - absolutely the right sweetness, with very little or no added sugar!In the end - although I had already eaten the entire menu with my eyes, I went with the braised turkey on the slickly thicker handmade tortilla taco with pickled onion and cabbage, such a divine and flavorful combination. I could taste the love, and feel the community inside. The intimate nature of this small 10-12 table restaurant is perfect fir taking people with cultivated palettes who you want to impress!I just can't believe I have lived in the Bay and been an avid lover if eating Mexican food and never before tasted the unique and wonderful flavors if the yucutan peninsula.Highly recommend, and I will be going back to eat every last item on the menu, one at a time of course;)

On the fence between 3*|4*. Great to support local businesses. Really good value for the neighborhood. Cash only. Friendly, efficient service for our take out. Several dine In tables, no outside area. We ordered carne asade and a panucho. Panucho was excellent. We've had many versions of carne asade & this didn't do it for us. A thin pork chop, with fresh tortillas, salsa, salad and bean soup. At home we had to chop the pork chops up, toast the tortillas and compile everything for a nice meal. Not really what we expected so we would order something else next time. Definitely recommend the panuchos!

A hidden gem amongst the busy restaurant scene of the Mission District. Stopped by on a rainy day for some warm Mexican soup and tacos. Everything about it is super authentic. Looking at the menu and the presentation of the dishes, I literally got a throwback to my Mexico trip. We got Beef Tongue Taco (De Cabeza) and Chicken and Potato Soup (Pollo Con Papas). I am not a big fan of a tongue of any kind but they made it so tender that it tastes just like tendons with some extra texture. The soup selection is absolutely HUGE here. Usually, anywhere I go, I pretty much just pick between regular chicken/seafood soup and tortilla soup. But here you get pretty much all kinds even Mole De Pollo (Mole is very authentic Mexican sauce. I won't recommend it unless you are feeling super adventurous but it speaks to the quality of the place). You won't disappoint if you love soup like me with some Mexican flavors. The food itself is not absolutely mind-blowing. But the homey vibe and super friendly service made it a 5-star experience. The waiting staff here kept checking on us making sure we enjoyed our food with a big smile and they explicitly told us to stay longer if needed after we eat. It just feels like you are going someone's home for dinner. Would highly recommend!

The Panuchos con pollo were soooo delicious and flavorful. Beware of the jalapeños on here... they were spicy . The panuchos were juicy and the jalapeños added a kick to it! Eating two was good enough to feed one. The tamales were also delicious. Not too much masa and the tamale was moist. So much rich flavor inside and the chicken was not dry at all.Highly recommend these two items! The staff were very friendly and welcoming.If you're in the mission, check this spot out.

Authenticity describes it best, like walking into a small local eatery in the Yucatan peninsula and feeling there, while being in the Mission district in San Francisco.

Great server! The manager is super nice and helpful. You don't have to worry if you dine alone. They will help you order great and not too much food for you.!!! The soup is soooo good! How can they make chicken so soft? Highly recommend!

loved this place - def hidden gem that deserves some more love.We didn't know it was a Viet-Yucatan fusion. It's so subtle and natural, and unless you were Viet you might not really catch on the little culture mix since it isn't really advertised. The owners seem to be half Viet and Yucatan, and so the fusion felt seamless instead of gimmicky like other fusion foods. They've got their tamales wrapped in banana leaves, a sauce with nuoc mam on the table, and their tortas use banh mi baguette.I got the poc chuc torta and carnitas taco. Both were excellent

I cannot praise this restaurant enough! It may not look like much inside or outside but the food is very good, what I got was excellent. I had the sopa de pollo con papas or chicken soup with potatoes. The chicken was so fresh and of a quality you cannot find in SF supermarkets. Also the amount of chicken was huge. Much more than most other restaurants by far. The broth was excellent and freshly made. The tortilla were freshly homemade and to die for. Yum yum yum. The service was fast and very friendly. If you don't speak Spanish you will need to point at the menu.

We ordered tamal colado, panucho and empanada de queso everything was delicious. My husband is from the Yucatán Peninsula and he loved the food, it reminded him of his home town's food. Service was exceptional. We're definitely coming back.
