Loltun Restaurant

Great food and service. One of the best margaritas I have had & that says a lot. We had a super quesadilla, regular burrito & guacamole. All were excellent. It's not fancy but the food is delicious

When it feels like restaurant food quality everywhere is going down while prices go up, Loltun stands apart - a shining light in the darkness. The food is so good and the prices are so affordable you might forget which city you're eating in. It's really like nothing else. The food is delicious, you can taste the care that is put in, the freshness and quality of the ingredients, in every bite. The portions are great for sharing and prices are super reasonable. It instantly became one of my favorite restaurants in SF. Everything on the menu is great, you can't go wrong. The Ponuchos, Salbutes, Tamales and Tortas are fantastic. The Poc-Chuc is incredible and the Caldo de Res is soothing, warm, and flavorful. Every dish comes with sauces, pickled veggies, citrus, salsa, and more. The combinations of flavors you can put together in a bit is unrivaled. Whether you're visiting the city or you've lived here for years, I truly cannot recommend this place enough.

Great Mayan cuisine (plus others like Peruvian lomo saltado) The poc chuc taco (the one with red onions on it) I really liked and would get again. The cochinta was too tender, like shredded chicken, for me but otherwise okay. Cebada is basically horchata but with barley instead of rice. Fizzy apple juice also flavorful and sweet

Delicious, hearty, fresh Mexican food in the heart of the mission. So far I’ve gotten the poc chuc and cochinita pibil. The service is attentive, the restaurant is very clean, and they play good music. I think of it more as a lunch spot, but during dinner hours the atmosphere is chill so you could easily come here with a large group as they have long tables. My favorite place to come for a filling and healthy meal.

Very delicious tacos — beef was slightly charred and the onions were caramelized, exceptionally yummy, as is the guacamole and empanadas, and the prompt friendly service ! Highly recommended!!

Uh? Burrito much? This was an amoizing burrito. OMG Karen! Totally authentic, AMIRIGHT? Delish! Stop in and get you some. The peeps were nice and portions...forget about it. HUGE is an understatement. Seriously, one of the best I've eaten.

Honestly a really underrated place in SF. Amazing quesadillas and panuchos. Their premium meats, especially their cochinita is phenomenal. Reason it's not 5 stars is their regular chicken and poc chuc meat are really lacking in flavor and have been dry when I've got them. Also if you get a quesadilla, get the pico on the side because otherwise it makes the whole thing soggy and sweet. Still great quality overall, love their asada super quesadilla and cochinita panucho. Hope to see them become more popular in the future.

Whole hog Cochinita pibil is an absolute standout. Banana leave wrapped Tamales had a silky masa and tender flavorful chicken. Tortillas freshly made. Overall wonderful dishes

We are so spoiled to have so many Yucatán cuisine joints in the Mission but this may be my favorite. The poc-chuc here is one of my favorites and their homemade habanero sauce is the perfect level of spicy and light and just on the edge but you can't stop putting it on everything on your plate. Really impressed with the pescado frito, and i really can't pick a favorite better the beef short ribs and the pork ribs. Also love to see all the families here after work, lots of dads with their kids, great service, fast and warm atmosphere.

Came here and this place is great. The taste is absolutely there. And i'm a huge fan of mole. And if you like Spice, they got some big hitters in here, they do not play when it comes to their spice.

If you're looking for an affordable bite of mexican food in the mission, try Loltun! It's a more casual place but the food did not disappoint. I got 2 different panuchos which are like tostadas. I got the asada and the pork - both were packed with meat, beans, cabbage and avocado. Was very impressed by the large portion. Very crispy bottom with well seasoned meat that paired well with the other toppings. Left super full and satisfied

My mom and I stopped by this restaurant while strolling through the neighborhood and were glad we did. The mango pineapple juice was quite refreshing and the chicken empanada was crispy and generously filled and savory. The lomo saltado was our favorite as the beef was so tender and juicy. I would definitely recommend to try it.

This was the second stop on self guided Mission taqueria crawl, and probably my favorite stop. We ordered one each of the poc-chuc and cochinita panuchos. First bite of the cochinita panucho and I was in heaven. Everything about this dish was perfect. The flavor of the pork, the richness of the beans, the acidity from the onions, the freshness from the cabbage. I truly could not believe how good it tasted. We swapped panuchos and each took a bite of the other, while I also liked the poc-chuc one, the cochinita just couldn't be topped. Lucky for me, my boyfriend liked the poc-chuc better, so we each were able to finish off our favorites. The service here was very friendly. It looked like you were supposed to order at the counter, but we were told to take a seat and quickly brought out menus and drinks. The food was fresh and made to order, so it didn't come up all that fast, but the short wait was worth it for the freshness and flavor of our food. Would absolutely come back here to try more of the menu and especially more of the panuchos.

Pupusas as amazing and the moistiest food out there. I had a lot of dry pupusas before, but the cheese and spinach. The service was quick and delivery was on time! The restaurant itself is conveniently on Mission St. and easy to reach by public transportation. Highly recommend!

Strolled past here and saw they had panuchos, i'm a big fan of Yucatan cuisine and was eager to taste it. The interior is spacious and there's ample seating. Service was fast and nice. I was not disappointed and I felt it was on par with what we'd had in Merida. The turkey in the relleno negro was moist and well cooked. Salsas were fresh and the habernero salsa was really spicy and perfect.

Food is fresh and tastes great! Portions are good. The service is amazing Decorations are cute ...

In any just world, there would be a line out the door of Loltun every day of the week. It's a non descript storefront on an otherwise uninteresting block of Mission St and it may look empty if you walk past it, but trust me, go in. This is the kind of food that makes you happy to be alive. This is the best of the several Mayan-influenced Yucatan Mexican restaurants in the Mission. Classics like poc-chuc and panuchos are spot-on, but they also have some of the best tacos in the neighborhood, stacked high onto hand made tortillas. The soups are excellent too, and there are several types of chicken and pork soups and stews that I haven't seen anywhere else in the city. My single go-to recommendation though is the fried whole fish. The fish balanced against the pickled vegetables on the plate and served with a basket of handmade tortillas is both visual and gastronomic perfection. There must be a wizard of some kind back in the kitchen, but everyone working there is helpful and friendly. There are a couple of waitstaff who don't speak English, but you should take that as a good sign of just how direct of a pipeline this is from the Yucatan to San Francisco!

Finally found this place. If you've never tried them before , you're in for a treat, I'm glad they are still in the city and thriving... You guys deserve recognition!

I happen to be craving Mexican Food in the Mission neighborhood and came across this gem. I had the burrito with chicken and it was so good! The service was fine and attentive.

Goodbye, Tech-eria. Hello, Loltún! I was happy to see Loltún, a new Mayan & Yucatán restaurant take over Mateo's Taqueria (loved by hipsters and techies). Loltún has been open for over two months and there's only 4 reviews - what's up with that?! The food is REALLY good so they deserve more love than they're getting. Loltún is open for takeout, delivery (DoorDash), and indoor dining. I visited after work, a little before 3 pm on a weekday and they were not busy at the time. M E N U Regional Mexican: Mayan & Yucatán Cuisine; some popular dishes: Panuchos (fried tortilla stuffed w/ black bean puree), Salbutes (fried tortilla puff tostada), Cochinita Pibil (slow-roasted pork), Poc-Chuc (marinated grilled pork), etc. NO upcharges for DD delivery orders. F O O D * Pork Sabultes: Fried tortilla puff w/ grilled pork, onions, red salsa, cabbage, avocado ($4.50): https://tinyurl.com/mu5yrsv6 A popular Yucatán street food, the sabultes is like a tostada with a puffy fried tortilla. The fried tortilla could use more pouf but it was fully loaded. The grilled pork was a tad dry but the black bean purée, salsa roja (mild) and liberal amounts of their house habanero salsa (more tangy than spicy) provided moisture. Lots of satisfying textures and I liked the pickled onions for a pop of acidity. Two is enough for a small meal. * Poc-Chuc: Marinated Pork w/ diced cabbage, avocado, red salsa, radish, beans, rice, handmade tortillas ($16.50): https://tinyurl.com/2ax2s68k A signature Yucatán dish, the Poc-Choc was the highlight of my meal. And, a great price! --Poc-chuc: The thin slices of citrus marinated pork were rice and tender with deliciously smoky charred edges. It reminded me of KBBQ without the sweetness. --Frijoles Colado: The black bean purée was savory, smooth, and comforting. --Rice: Fluffy and nicely separated. --Handmade corn tortillas: Hot, soft, chewy, and pliable. Not too thick. --Accompaniments: Cabbage, radish, cucumber, pickled onions, avocado, and lime were all fresh. I asked for a box for my leftovers and everything was taken away for them to pack. When I opened the box the next day for lunch, I noticed the handmade tortillas were missing. =( S E R V I C E Read reviews on Yelp and elsewhere about how great the service is. Seems like I caught them on an off day because that's not what I experienced. Walked in and was directed to go to the back to order. Placed my order with the cashier who was not friendly (I perused the menu before visiting so I knew exactly what I wanted to order). There was no option to leave a tip on the touchscreen so I asked if I could add a tip. Tipped (30%) and no thank you. I saw a water dispenser with glasses to the side and asked if water was self-serve and he said, "no". No number or placard was given to me so I was confused on how I would retrieve my order. While waiting for my order, two tech bros walk in, are immediately seated, and are given menus. Umm ok, so it's not fast casual after all. My order took a bit long and was staggered; 15 minutes for the salbutes and 25 minutes for the poc-chuc. The food runners were really nice tho! A M B I A N C E Barebones with an open kitchen, communal table seating, and window counter seats. P A R K I N G Difficult street parking. Overall, l really enjoyed the Poc-Chuc and highly recommend this dish when visiting Loltún. Unfortunately, my interaction with the cashier was a turn-off so I can't give 5 stars. The mondongo (Yucatán menudo) is calling my name so will DD it to me next time!

Ordered delivery chicken and pork Torta. Delicious and full of flavor!!! The orange hot sauce that comes with it is also very good and spicy. 10/10

Giant portions, home cooked vibes and mouthwatering presentation. Authentic Mayan food, happy to see a new option similar to Poc-Chuc restaurant nearby. I put the habanero salsa on everything with no regrets. Spacious and clean interior and attentive service!

I stopped by Loltun for a treat after a dentist appointment :) The pork tamale and panucho were delicious! I think some other reviews mentioned poor service but I received fantastic service from the woman working that day.

All the food is freshly made and really good flavors. I would definitely come back. The mango pineapple agua Fresca is fresh kiss. Also the guacamole was made to order, which you can tell the difference. Try this place out!

Delicious food and nice people! We had a great dinner here and tried the panuchos and poc chuc. The dishes were super flavorful. Will definitely be back.

Delicious sizzling entrees. Large portions, good value. Loved the poc chuc. The meat has a lot of flavor, and the salsa is delicious. Interior vibe is very casual, and I liked the server a lot as he went out of his way to make sure we were happy. They have a TV and play the warriors!

The cochinita pibil dish was straight fire! Their tortillas were hand made and on point. Watch out for their habanero salsa--it's spicy. Oh, and don't forget to order the empanadas.

Delicious food, great service, nice ambiance! I can't remember the names of the dishes but we basically got a steak taco and a chicken taco and both were absolutely delicious! Large servings too! Highly recommend this place and the prices are great.

We've ordered from here several times and it's always a delight! Our 7 year olds and the adults are all divided on which is out favorite from the Salbutes, the Panuchos or the Empanadas - all of which are gluten free! The Cochinita Pibil is also fantastic, and the Horchata was delicious. The folks who work there are friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

So I've tried quite a few of their dishes now including bistec, short ribs, and torta and ALL of them were absolutely mouthwatering and scrumptious

We stumbled upon this gem when getting our boosters across the street from Mission Wellness. The food was so good! My kids loved it too! We got the Poc-Chuc (marinated pork--very juicy), Carne Asada and Caldo de Res (beef short rib soup with veggies--excellent!). The Cebada (Barley) drink was good too. The handmade tortillas were really fresh. Their homemade habanero salsa was on point (and VERY SPICY). There are so many other things we want to try next time! Even though we have no reason to be in this area, my family and I are already talking about when we can return. The service and staff were great too. We definitely want to support this 2-week old business!

Food was Good ! This was pollo asado pretty shmackk ! The restaurant was nice too pretty fresh and clean !!

Recently came in with my gf and her friend. We ordered the chicken torta which was very good and I would get again. Very flavorful and the chicken was great. We also order panuchos which were a little soggy but tasted great. The guy working there was not super friendly seemed like he didnt want to deal with us. He sort of mumbled when he talked to us and the MUSIC WAS WAY TOO LOUD.

A great place with great food! The chicken milanesa was the perfect amount of juicy and crisp. Make sure to get the panuchos and empanada for to start. You won't be disappointed!

What a gem. Fantastic people! I had a burrito here it was amazing with chip and creamy green salsa. They gave me a bottle of hot sauce and it has a great kick to it. The horchata is one of the best I ever had for a long time. I am coming back again to try their other dishes

We loved this place! The food was great. The Poc Chuc was crispy and delicious and came out steaming hot on an iron platter with a side of fresh salad and avocado; great presentation. The Carne Asada was excellent and flavorful. We also got Caldo de Res which was well prepared with fresh veggies. The hibiscus agua fresca was really good. Staff were super friendly. This was our first time and we'll be back!

Personal muy maleducado y poco complaciente. Es obvio que no quieren tratar contigo cuando pides y te miran fijamente mientras comes. La señora de detrás del mostrador no ayudaba nada con su mala actitud. La comida tiene un precio decente, pero es mediocre. La música es buena para una discoteca, no para un restaurante. El personal necesita más formación, son simplemente terribles.

The food and place was amazing. Very welcoming and the staff are really friendly. The ambiance is really amazing.

The salsa was on point! The Jamaica was on point! The service was on point! I don't ask for much but I need my salsa to be spicy! It slapped me in the face! The Jamaica was like you were eating a paleta. What more can you ask for? The baby blue on the walls was calming. I ate a panucho and it hit. I'm definitely going back.

They took nearly 30 minutes to make a burrito and quesadilla. For some reason the guy working their stared my friend and I down the whole time we waited. When we asked if an order that came to the counter was ours the lady said "No, don't worry, you'll get your food". Food was only ok. I'm guessing these reviews are all friends. Maybe don't be a gringo and eat here?

Amazing place to go with your friends, good drinks good service and the workers are so polite

Just went to Loltun and was amazed! The food is delicious and people are so nice. I will definitely be coming back for another taste of this Yucatán heaven.
