Established in 2010. Once upon a time Mr Pollo was a Colombian restaurant, so we kept the same name as tradition to the old Mission. We do a 4 course tasting menu that changes often and uses local produce from the Bay Area. We only have 12 seats and keep things very causal. Come in, have fun, and hang out with Graham and me for a seasonal and original dining experience.
“My friend and I visited from out of town and were fortunate enough to experience a meal here. Everything was incredible, and sitting at the bar seats made the experience all the more intimate. Talking with Graham and hearing his culinary journey and witnessing the course perpetration was extra special. I hope to come back soon!”
“Small, intimate dining experience! I love how the food is getter better and better every dish we tried. Another great thing is that you don't have to think. Just enjoy the food in front of you. The food is definitely well executed with care and consideration. What I enjoyed the most though is the hospitality of the chef Graham. He picked up my call to arrange the dish for my friend who has shellfish allergy. After the meal, he was not rushing us out and willing to chat with me about Thailand, our cravings for good bakery, and his approach to cooking. He is down to earth and loves what he is doing. My only wish on the food side is to have some bread to go with dishes. In any event, this is the place you can enjoy the food and feel the care of the staffs in his craft. I will come back for more, like that critic in Ratatouille "Surprise me!"”
“10/10 experience. Rotating menu with local, seasonal ingredients; every single dish was perfect. The octopus blew our minds - I didn't know octopus could be sooo tender and flavorful. Love the concept, the people behind it, and of course, the food.”
“Great experience at Mr. Pollo! First, the service is excellent - warm and friendly, feels like home. It’s an intimate and quiet space. Theres some calm tunes playing in the background and you can easily enjoy a conversation. The food is hearty and feels homemade, but at the same time I found the favors inventive and unique. My favorite course, the tri-tip arepas, then the appetizer - focaccia, fig, pistachios, mint and prosciutto? Amazing. The main course was roasted chicken on a bed of corn and other veggies - it was good but maybe my least favorite course. Overall, i would absolutely come back.”
“An awesome option for a prix fixe menu dinner at a very acceptable price point. Everything I had here was great although I wish it was slightly more portion wise, it was almost there. I believe the menu rotates, although not sure how frequently. The atmosphere is great, small shop run by 2 people with a very unassuming front door! I had to double check to see if it was the right spot at first. Overall great option for locals/visitors in the city.”
