Chico Marx

I wish I could post this with minus 3 stars. But Yelp won't allow that. We just left after trying this place for lunch and when I say this was maybe the worst food I've ever had anywhere I am not exaggerating. At 12:30 pm in the lower level of a huge office park the place was deserted. Literally empty except for us. That tells you something. Where to begin. Even the Arnold palmers were atrocious. Heavy thick black tea that looked like ice coffee with a splash of I guess simple syrup in it. Like drinking acid. The short rib empanadas are small to begin with and to expand the servicing as not to be an embarrassing portion to serve they cut a serving of 2 of them in half. So you get 4 tiny pieces. Half filled with cold stringy meat. The idea of a empanada is the pocket to retain moisture and heat. Sitting cut open waiting for a waiter to retrieve it, it is getting colder by the second. My sister had the Saltado which was chunks of tough chewy meat with no sauce or flavor at all. The fries soaked up the sauce what there was of it. And a scoop of cold rice on the side. I had the Catalan chicken. Two pieces of dark meat seemingly tossed in a deep fryer. It was super crispy but had no flavor or seasoning at all. Not even salt. The food at Chipotle is better quality. I would be shocked if this place is still in business in 6 months . I am not exaggerating when I say that I would not eat here again for free. The manager was nice about taking the un-eatable food off the bill but was mildly insulting about it telling us that this is a popular dish and she eats it all the time. And that perhaps it was not to our preferences. Yes that is true. We prefer steak that is not as chewy as a strip of flavorless rawhide. Also the only parking is in a dimly lit office parking garage which is a 1/4 mile walk straight uphill and the location is off the 101 in a business center. Location very bad as well. I would strongly recommend giving this place a hard pass

This place is a hidden gem for sure. We came here for a wedding reception and if you're not from the area you will definitely not notice this diamond in the rough. The drinks, appetizers and main course items were all fantastically prepared. We would like to come back again to get the full experience.

Delicious food, great decor and atmosphere, and good service. But where are all the patrons? This place deserves better on a Friday night. I hope word gets out that it’s a hidden gem in South San Francisco because I certainly will be back again if they’re still around!

Go for the pork belly tacos

Great new place, beautiful decor and surprisingly delicious food. Everything was fresh, deliciously prepared and reasonably priced. We mixed happy hour menu with regular menu. Delicious cocktails too. Due to location the hours are tilted towards lunch and early dinner but since we live close by I wish they were opened later and on a Saturday!
