Mestiza San Francisco

“I found this hidden gem on Resy—it would be easy to miss if you don’t know what you’re looking for. When you first enter the door, you could be excused for thinking that you’ve accidentally walked into the kitchen or back room, but a short walk down the hall leads you to a beautiful, intimate covered patio. Our server, Kat, was an absolute delight. We ordered the fries, veggie lumpias and crispy Brussels to start. All were delicious, but I definitely strongly recommend the Brussels. We also had the coconut curry, pancit canton noodles, garlic rice, and super greens laing. Again, I enjoyed all of it, but suggest not missing the laing. We finished our meal with the pineapple soft serve beautifully decorated with ube powder. All in all, it was a delicious meal in a beautiful place with delightful staff that felt more like friends. The party next to us was celebrating kamayan feast and it looked like so much fun (Kat told us that there is also a vegan option). Definitely recommend for a delightful night out.”

“Great for birthday celebrations. We had Filipino Kamayan Feast for 35 people. There were lots of food and we got an open bar with soju mixed drinks, beer and wine. As you can see there’s lots of food.”

“Agree with others that this is a neighborhood gem! Everything was so flavourful and fairly priced. The meat loving bf enjoyed the mushroom tofu sisig - super flavourful and satisfying. The elote had a unique twist with the tempura coating. Spicy plum salad was a huge portion & perfect for the hot weather. The chicken skewers were also 10/10 - so tender and flavorful! Loved the service and vibe too! Would definitely come back with friends. — Update: brought someone visiting out of town here and was so disappointed by the inconsistency of the dishes. The chicken skewer that was so tender last time was completely dried out this time and arrived cold. The shrimp gamba was mediocre too and the side of raw beans gave us stomachaches. Very disappointed :/”

“We loved this place! Such a cute outdoor garden seating era. It’s an asian fusion restaurant and they have a few vegan options! I got the mushroom sisig and loved it and bryce got the pork adobo (and omg wouldn’t shut up about it lol). we also got shush to peppers to share AND THEY WERE SO GOOD ! Server was friendly and helpful in deciding what to order. we will definitely be going again”

“Came here with a group of 6 and we got a pretty private experience in the back patio. Good: - Beautiful back patio area! I loved having such an attentive staff - The food came out pretty quickly - maybe about 10-15 minutes for our appetizers, and all the family plates came out together - The family platters were great for sharing, my favorites were the curry, the noodles, and the appetizer chicken lumpia - Solid portion sizes though the plates look small - The ube yogurt was super good - I had a whole one and it wasn't too heavy - The vibes are good here, it's super modern and upscale Bad: - A bit cold outside on the patio and no heaters around Overall this was a nice place to go for a group gathering and have a lot of privacy to have a deep chat without being bothered! Not too expensive if you all share too.”
