Don Pisto's tacos are petite but full of flavor, arriving in an order of two, no sides, on handmade tortillas . The carne asada are a great bet for those who love steak but hate the chunky clunks. Read more

Ok. I have eaten at some of the best Taco places in SoCal and I will just say the asada tacos here are great The salsa is epicly spicy . Like "lawd Jesus there's fire" hot. Great spot.

Mexican in North Beach ? Yes. Their chips & salsa are some of the best in SF. The goal? A fancy approach to Mexican street food . Multiple taco varieties to choose from, all less than $10 for a pair.

Natalie Guerra

Tacos , pulled pork , literally everything I tried here was incredible. Staff was very accommodating and even gave us free margs for the wait being so long! And they were sooooo good too :)

Ninad D

Amazing fish tacos but the sangria not so good. They have a couple more veggie options not included in the menu. Ask the server, very helpful and will walk you through the entire menu

JJ Venturini

Drinks slightly watered down but You can go to Mexico & not get food this good. Ham & poblano scramble. Light, fluffy eggs with a perfect amount of smoked ham . Great guac & fresh chips made here.

Alberto Morillas Bravo

Not the most affordable place in the city ($38 for two small meals and a glass of wine ), but worth it. Make sure you check out the ceviche (very hot for me, but I'm european...) and the carnitas .

Barry Mulligan

I didn't believe a pork chop could be that good. Amazing. Ceviche sweet sour bitter sweet unusual. To die for. Sangria brilliant. the wait team super good fun atmosphere is electric.

The Huevos Rancheros were an awesome combo of spicy , crunchy and warm - great way to warm up during foggy SF mornings. Pair it with a glass of sangria for your own little private morning fiesta! Read more

Service was hands-down the best I've ever had, anywhere. All the food was delicious, music was great! It was a little loud . Definitely go here!

Chloe Lucas-Walsh

This place is SO GOOD! The BOTTOMSLESS brunch option is amazing, but beware! Drinks are strong! Eggs and Chorizo were really good, the GUAC was insanely good! ????

Nick

The new benchmark for fish tacos . Enrique at the bar took great care of us. Also - they cook the Maine lobster in pork fat ????

Hannah

The staff are friendly and the food is great. Get the sangria , and share some tacos + corn chips . The only place in the US that will leave you feeling satisfied rather than stuffed.

Christopher Staton

Don't miss the Bottomless Brunch for all you can drink . The carnitas tacos set the stage and the massive french toast brings it home.

Grace Ma

the pork entree is a must!!! best dish on the menu, we also had the lobster (which was solid) and carne asada tacos (which were OK)

Asia Harrigan

I love the Al Pastor Tacos , Pollo Asado and Hamburgesa . They only sever the Hamburgesa on Wednesday nights now. Our Don Pisto's virgin guest said he rather eat the Hamburgesa than have a BJ... LoL!

Graham Siegel

Good chips and salsa (and guac ). Loved the shrimp tacos . They don't have a spirits license, so I'd recommend sticking to beer unless you really like agave wine .

TW ✈️????????

Best brunch with bottomless sangrias , margaritas and mimosas ! Try the spicy chorizo & poached eggs ... you will NOT be disappointed!

Katarina Zidaric

Staff was super friendly !! ???? food is excellent, especially pork chops ! And the place looks great! We absolutely loved it!!❤️????❤️????

Dave S

You are going to split Calamari , Tacos , and a Hamberguesa (cooked in bacon ) and you are going to freak out about how good it is.

Heather Rodriguez

This place was great food and adorable restaurant . Had the pork tacos .

Joanna Flamm

Trendy sit down Mexican restaurant . Great brunch or dinner in a fun neighborhood . Moderately priced .

Christine Borkowski

Fresh ceviche , yummy lobster , delicious sangria (though I wish there was fruit in it).

Josh Martin

Solid Palomas, chips , and quac . Good option to chill here while waiting for your reservations at nearby restaurants .

Harry Toor

Margarita , Best in Town , not made w/ tequila btw. Chips & Salsa , you will eat it all. Food ideal for sharing or not! Don't die without having had a Hamburgesa . Secret: Sunday drink specials = :)

nora walker

Bottomless at brunch is a great value - waitress kept the refills coming and didn't rush us at all.

Natalie Ray

Bottomless mimosas and sangria , and super delicious brunch items. Try the Taco Senora Al Pestor on the brunch menu , you won't regret it!

Verna

Get the ceviche and tacos . Favorites amongst the group were the lobster , al pastor and fish tacos . Everything was delish.

Ilissa Gilmore

Food is served family style , good for sharing with groups. Their salsas are AMAZING ????????

Daniel P.

I had the tacos and they were delicious. Just the right spicy level.

Vanessa H

Everything....and I mean *everything* is amazing, delicious, and reasonably-priced. Try the lobster tacos , more than enough for 2 people to share, with leftovers!

Theresa B

Camarones tacos , huevos rancheros and bottomless sangria is the way to go for brunch !

Rachid Kaddour

You gotta have patience, because they let you wait quite long. The food however was very good! Try the fish taco's very good.

Krishna Moreno

Best food in a long time! We come here every Sunday night! Kitchen closes at 1230am! Great 2 dollar mexican beers and 3 dollar acai berry sangrias on sundays! Great hole in the wall . Amazing!

Emily Finley

Chorizo and mussels is the best. The meat is good, but the taco plates are small - share them!

Anna McPhee

Take the coconut to go, sit in the park , crack it open, and enjoy some fresh coconut !

Chris Fowler

Ask Nick ( behind the bar ) for his suggestion. Enjoy the food and the ambience. It's worth it.

Marina Costabile

Every taco is awesome. Love the Al Pastor . Fish is super fresh. Oysters are sublime.

Gregory K.

Good fancy tacos . Service really friendly

Danielle C.

Their salmon sashimi is to die for! Also who knew mimosas could taste so good with pineapple juice

Subhadra

They're really generous with the bottomless drinks at brunch , but the acoustics (and bottomless mimosas ) can make it too noisy to hold a conversation...

H H

Order the salmon sashimi (warning: has soy) and the charcoal grilled calamari as appetizers .

Magnus Jern

Amazing tacos and nachos ! Everything on the menu is good.

Patrick W

Excellent ceviche and the chips and green salsa are on point.

Brittany Giudici

Great breakfast spot in a fun neighborhood . Get the bottomless!

Eric Townley

La Hamberguesa is sinful. They marinate the meat in Bacon and onion then smother it in their delicious guac . I highly recommend it.

Mike Lambert

The pork chop is amazing!! I would also definitely recommend the tortilla soup (spicy with lots of chicken )

Nope

The super hot salsa is super-hot action. Amazing no-meat torta . Go here.

Chris H.

Everything is spicy .

Jenny L.

Went for brunch , tuna tacos...yum. Good chips and salsa . Party vibe
