Modern Argentine eatery serving steaks, small plates, cocktails & wine in a vibrant atmosphere.
"Ascend to the El Techo rooftop to gaze on Mission Street below. El Techo de Lolinda offers great city views right in the middle of the Mission, and serves rooftop cocktails and Latin street food-style snacks." - Paolo Bicchieri, Eater Staff
"A meal at Lolinda, a Mission spot with bull busts mounted onto the wall, has all of the traditional marks of a steakhouse, but the biggest difference at this Argentinian meat palace is the price. A giant gaucho steak for two will only set you back $82—practically a bargain. The sides, like the pan de queso and croquetas, are mostly missable, but you won’t mind when you’re digging into your juicy steak served with a side of chimichurri. Service can be a little slow, so order one of their cocktails—like the Controlled Burn with tequila, mezcal, and pandan—to keep the time moving. " - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez

"One of the best happy hour views in town can be found at this rowdy rooftop bar, accompanied by $5 cervezas, $7 margaritas, $18 sangria pitchers, plus bar bites that range from guacamole to empanadas. It can get quite crowded, especially on a sunny afternoon so plan to arrive on the earlier side. Monday to Friday, 4-6 p.m." - Dianne de Guzman, Paolo Bicchieri
"This rooftop is ideal on a sunny day in SF, even in these days of copious outdoor dining. The classic margarita is a winner, but if you're looking for something a bit more exciting, order the margarita del techo (cabeza tequila, fidencio mezcal, napoleon mandarin, and lime). Takeout and delivery is also an option, both via Caviar." - Eater Staff
