Mayaflor’s brunch deserves attention - Review - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"In a city where a great brunch usually requires constant reservation surveillance or sacrificing a morning to a sidewalk queue, Mayaflor is a rare find. This Mexican-American spot in Nob Hill rarely has a wait—even on weekends—but we’d happily get up early for this place if we had to. You can pick up the scent of cinnamon from the custard french toast even at the height of hay fever season, and the Mexican-style benedict gets extra crunch from airy sopes in place of english muffins. The calm, never-packed dining room has just a few two-tops, but on a nice day, grab a sidewalk table and enjoy your food while smugly watching the people across the street waiting in line for brunch at Mymy. Food Rundown Mexican Style Benedict We’re happy to lead the movement on making this the new traditional benedict. The eggs are wobbly and just about ready to pop, and the addition of crisp-edged carnitas and guacamole on an airy sope makes for an excellent combo. photo credit: Patrick Wong Challah Custard French Toast Each slice has a soft, almost pudding-like center, chewy crusts, and topped with peak-ripeness berries and apple slices. Get an order to share with the table. photo credit: Patrick Wong Breakfast Burrito Totally solid. It does nothing to set itself apart from other breakfast burritos in the city, but it’s filling and easily gets the job done." - Patrick Wong

The two of us were seated right away for a sunday brunch. The food took awhile to come out but it tasted homey and fresh. Waiters were nice and accommodating. We would come back again and try their dinner menu too.

Maya Flor needs to stay around forever! I rarely write reviews, but this place slaps so hard I forced myself to make an exception. This is an incredible new Peruvian / Mexican inspired restaurant. I've now had the pleasure of trying both their brunch and dinner menus, and while both were excellent, dinner was truly something special. Their ceviche was vibrant, fresh, and bursting with authentic Peruvian flavors. Another standout is the paella. I don’t say this lightly, but it may be the best paella I’ve ever had (and I've been to Spain a couple times). Perfectly cooked rice, deeply flavorful, and just loaded with the kind of care and seasoning that assures you the chef knows what they're doing. On top of that, the service is warm, attentive, and genuine. The owners are incredibly kind and clearly passionate about what they’re creating here, which just adds to the charm and heart behind every dish. Maya Flor is a hidden gem, but it won't be hidden for long. Whether you’re a local or someone who appreciates great food and doesn’t mind making a bit of a trip, come here. Run, don’t walk. Selfishly, I hope this place thrives for years to come because I plan on eating here a lot. Long live Maya Flor!

decent mexican peruvian restaurant at its price point. the dinner food was a little forgettable but maybe breakfast is their specialty. mushroom and chicken empanadas were the best part. would skip the lomo saltado and beef empanada

Best kept secret in San Francisco. This Mexican (with some Peruvian influence) spot is the real deal, gourmet cuisine in an pleasant stylish setting in Nob Hill. Had an amazing brunch where everything on our plates was a taste sensation. Also, on weekends get the authentic Cafe Olla! I had the Huevos a la Mexicana and wife loved the Challah French Toast. Sat outside on a nice day with cable cars going by, and great service.

Fantastic Peruvian food, reasonably priced. Quiet family owned restaurant just a couple blocks west of Grace Cathedral. The Aji de Galina - shredded chicken drenched in a creamy Amarillo pepper sauce - is so amazing I did a happy dance.

Best Peruvian food in SF. Loads of distinct flavor in each dish and sauce. Quality, authentic dishes. Fun cozy atmosphere with local art. Attentive wait staff and fair price for the food!!

Every time we eat here, I leave satisfied and happy. Truly a family run business that nails the food as well. Today I had the chicken enchiladas that were a special for the day, and they were, as expected, delicious. The custard French toast is another favorite of mine as well. Fluffy and sweet, and super satisfying. It's not like most places and really unique. If you're a fan of hot sauces and salsas, they make their own. They are flavorful with a nice kick to them. Make sure to try some. I put them all over my eggs. We're so lucky to have this spot in the neighborhood and I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

Mayaflor has been my favorite brunch place in Polk Gulch. Now with a new chef and expanded menu, they started serving dinner, too! It's tucked away on a cute, quieter street corner so it might be easy to miss out, but they serve very authentic Peruvian food and I highly recommend it to anyone who likes Peruvian/ Mexican food. The owner is Peruvian but she developed a menu that inspired both by Peruvian and Mexican food. It's one of a kind. The pulpo a la parrilla is tender and juicy, the sauce in lomo saltado is very rich and delicious. The empanadas is definitely one of the highlights of the evening. The service is amazing as always. Please go and support this amazing local small business and their new venture into the dinner scene!

MayaFlor left us satisfied but not impressed. We ordered the Peruvian quinoa salad with grilled chicken and the chilaquiles divorciados (red and green combo). We are HUGE fans of chilaquiles and have had our share of amazing chilaquiles. Though I appreciated that they offered a red and green combo, the chips lacked the thickness to hold the sauce without becoming soggy. The red and green sauces were both descent. Beans always take a chilaquiles over the top for us but the black beans in this dish fell flat. A delicious salad always excites my taste buds but the Peruvian salad missed the bar on greatness. The staff, though friendly, forgot the grilled chicken I added to the salad . They were very apologetic and provided a five star response by not charging me for the chicken that they eventually brought out. Unfortunately the chicken was a bit dry and the amount was not worth the $6 it would normally cost to add chicken breast. It was also disappointing that the olives added were not pitted and therefore could not be enjoyed with each bite of salad unless I wanted to chip a tooth. Overall the dishes were decent and it was not hard to finish both plates but with the abundance of excellent food options in SF, we will not be returning.

Wow, yelp comes through again! Is it just me or is San Francisco the GOAT when it comes to stumbling on something amazing? MayaFlor was a bright and delicious walk in experience. The small but cozy space hosts about 10 tables inside and a few along the sidewalk surrounding. I was able to quickly snag a seat, order a coffee and ask for recommendations for a dish that was unique to them. I was recommended the Huevos Motuleños which ended up being a perfect suggestion. I had never tried anything like it. Peas, plantains, and ham scattered atop fried eggs stuffed within two fried tortillas. The sauce, combined with the beans, egg yolk, ham, peas, and plantains composed and I quote the server "a melody" of flavors. The only thing I didn't like was that it was gone almost immediately! Do yourself a favor. Go and try this place.

Fantastic food and service! Great menu with lots of different specials. We ordered the chilaquiles and the steak and eggs. Both were phenomenal, but definitely recommend ordering the steak and eggs for the group. Everything tasted fresh and light, and the staff were extremely kind and attentive. Can't recommend this place enough!

I used to get brunch at Olea once a month back when I lived in Nob Hill, so I was pleased to learn that they brought back their chef and some of the brunch favorites like the cazuela and challah french toast to MayaFlor. I came for brunch today and ordered the chilaquiles divorciados style, since I wanted to try both the green and red sauces. The chilaquiles were so delicious. I ended up enjoying the red sauce more, but I liked getting both sauces. I stole some avocado from my partner's salad and wished I had ordered avocados on the side. These avocados were so tasty. We also got an 1/2 order of the French toast to share between two people, which was also a great choice. The French toast is even better than I remembered. I'm definitely going to add this to my regular brunch rotation and try the Peruvian items like the lomo saltado and pollo a la brasa. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the neighborhood.

Was going to Mymy across the street but the line was too long and I stumbled upon Mayaflor. I loved the French toast, it was super tasty and not too sweet but the Huevos a la Mexicana was pretty average. The servers are really great! very attentive without being overbearing. Overall a really good experience!

Updating my review since it's 2025! Still an amazing brunch spot -- I typically go on weekends. Try to snag a table outdoors if it's a sunny day -- they're located on a corner, so it's also a cool spot to people watch. With that said, there is a decent amount of indoor seating available. In order to enter, there are a few steps you'll have to go down (in case accessibility is something you consider). The restaurant is run by the cutest family so there's a cozy atmosphere. There's not too many staff members, so it might take a while for things to come out when it gets busy (pretty standard compared to other places). There's a decent amount of classic breakfast items, and then a fun mix of Mexican dishes. On weekends, they have various specials available if you want to try something off menu! I personally recommend getting a side of french fries with whatever you order-- they're one of my favorites in the city and I always order them when I come (spicy aioli sauce is also top tier). I haven't tried their drinks myself, but friends have enjoyed them. Overall, this spot is one of my most frequented and I don't see that changing anytime soon! Give Mayaflor a shot and you won't be disappointed. Would love to see this small business pop off and thrive in 2025 (:

Very clean little restaurant in lower Nob Hill. Food was freshly cooked and the server was attentive without being intrusive. I loved the Chicharrón sandwich! It is on the greasy side, but I expected it. Really tasty, though. Will go again and possibly try other dishes, but that sandwich is a keeper!

This is a new addition to the menu. It's become my new go to every time I go there. Carnitas,bell peppers and onion. What's not to like?

We went in tonight for a nice dinner. Mayaflor is a rebirth of the former Olea with a new latin twist (at least for dinner). I enjoyed a Mexican Caesar salad and Lomo Saltado. I enjoyed both. The server is sweet, it's a nice little place that isn't crowded and we look forward to going back. They brought back some of the big hits for brunch like Challah French Toast and eggs in cazuela. I used to go nearly every Saturday for the scrambled egg sandwich when it was Olea. Glad the chefs are back and brought back the hits.

Came for Sunday brunch and ordered the empanadas. I was a bit disappointed by the serving size and value of the dish. Service was very slow. It took about 20 minutes after we received our drinks to put our order in, and only after I inquired about the check inside did they bring it out.

Went to MayaFlor for a Saturday brunch based on the raving reviews and was not disappointed. We were greeted and seated right away; there are a few tables inside and tables outside as well. Service was friendly and efficient; the food and drinks came out very shortly after ordering. I got the verde chilaquiles and it was delicious. Recommended for a tasty Mexican meal.

Such a cute little spot. Service was a 10, the waitress was super sweet. Food was amazing. Perfect food for a cold and rainy morning. Had the red chilaquiles which were delicious and only made better by adding some of their homemade red salsa. The salsas are not on the table so be sure to ask or you'll miss out.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MAYAFLOR! Dinner yesterday was a revelation of taste and textures. Something as simple as potatoes and corn were ambrosial, the potatoes like clouds. Had the fried chicken and my guest had the pork ribs. Both were flavorful, tender, juicy, succulent. The meat was eaten to the bone and I had to restrain myself from not picking up the remnants of my chicken to gnaw away. This was the best fried chicken breast I'd ever experienced! Generous portions; despite being full, I could not stop eating. The waitress was warm, attentive and gracious. The kitchen filled out orders immediately. Hope this restaurant enjoys the success that it deserves for excellent food and heartfelt service. Welcoming ambiance--fresh paint, beautiful dark wood tables and forest green cotton napkins. I made my guest promise that we'd be returning for more meals.

I hear they're known and frequented for breakfast & brunch but we came for their happy hour. 3-6 pm. See the flyer for when it's available. Some of the dishes are seasonal but everything is fresh. Cute subterranean space. Had the lomo saltado- bits of delicious steak, tomatoes & jus over fries. Delicious. Also had the bbq pork ribs with cold macaroni. Bueno. Add a couple of glasses of good pinot Grigio, cabernet sauvingon & piso sour. Muy bueno. Freddy was kind & knowledgeable about the food & we chatted about where he sources ingredients. We'll be back. Thanks!

A new brunch place in my neighborhood that took over the pricey boba place that was here before? I had to try it! Service was very attentive when we walked in on a Sunday morning around 11am--just before the brunch rush! I enjoyed my chilaquiles--it was filling and the eggs and corn tortillas had good flavor. BF enjoyed his egg sandwich. I love the outdoor seating option. Will be back--I hope they open during the week!

This place has been open in the neighborhood for quite some time but I've never had the chance to go check it out as they're only open for brunch on the weekends. I decided to check it out and they had a very nice selection of breakfast items including some heavier foods that could be larger portioned such as lomas saltado and steak and eggs. I ended up having cazuela, which is for those that don't know, similar to shashuka. The perfectly baked eggs in the tomato base sauce with tender meat and a slight smokiness, was very satisfying and the perfect portion for a savory brunch. Other dishes to notate are the chilaquiles. I highly recommend you go try this quaint, local joint. Please support this beautiful family that are working hard to eventually open up for dinner. So stop by for brunch, it's never too busy, and they do have outside seating.

It's okay. I would not give this place a 5 star. It's good and different flavor profile, but nothing special about it. It's like eating at a taqueria except the meal is not as heavy. I came here due to the line being long across the street at mymy. I order 2 items, huevos rancheros and French toast. French toast, id stick with ordering from mymy. French toast here is sweet by default, as it's sprinked with cinnamon sugar initially and nothing special. not worth $21. For 2 slice broiche bread dipped in egg wash.. Across the street at mymy, you at least get a unique moscarpone cheese cream served with and side of protein included for same price. Huevos rancheros was very light which is nice, only downside about it is the red sauce did not taste very authentic, Sort of tasted like red jarred salsa dip you get for chips unsure if that's to be expected. If I had to choose and you have the patience. I'd stick with mymy across the street. This is a one and done experience for me.

Lovely staff and great food! Came in hungry almost at closing. The staff/owner was nice enough to serve me despite closing down. The food was delicious, the chorizo and the steak were both cooked to perfection and the portion was more than enough. Can't wait to come back and try more of their dishes.

We were in the area apartment hunting and we wanted to try something new! This place looked perfect. The server was sweet, and the person cooking our food was sweet as well, very accommodating for our modification requests. The food took a bit of time, but because it was an open kitchen, we could see just how hard they were working on making our food, from scratch no less. It was worth it, and it smelled so good. I got the chicken panini, and my boyfriend got the eggs Benedict. We loved how fresh all the food was, and that they put vegetables in these dishes. They mentioned that they get all of their produce locally sourced from farmers markets. It felt really good to eat here, and with the ambience and service, we are likely to return. They told us the menus change every month, which is exciting if we move to the area and become regulars. We love when restaurants try to keep things fresh. Also, the bathroom is nice here!

MayaFlor is in my neighborhood and I absolutely adore this place! I've been here at least 10 times and brought countless friends along, all of whom have fallen in love. They have some of the best chilaquiles you'll find in SF (pro tip: ask for them divorciados if you, like me, can't choose between salsa roja or verde). The staff are wonderfully warm and friendly, and service is fast. Do yourself a favor and just check this place out!

What can I say about one of the most interesting places to eat in the city. If you enjoy good quality food without the stuffiness and the pretentiousness this is your place.

Great food and lovely service! the restaurant was playing great music as well the ambience felt nice and cozy. I ordered the chilaquiles and it was delicious! The custard french toast was also fluffy and delicious with a nice creamy custard filling that was not overpowering! It had a great balance, the empanadas were also yummy and I loved the salsa that came with it! Lastly was the Cazuela, which is a special, and it was delicious! Will definitely come again! Support small businesses!!

I'd admittedly been hesitant to try this place, as cute as it looks walking by, because the posted menu didn't appear to have a ton of plant-based items. However, I'm so glad I did as the server and chef were happy to accommodate to customize items. I got the sopas with assorted veggies instead of the meat on top, and they were SO GOOD! My partner really enjoyed the lomo saltado as well. The drinks were unique (our first time trying Inca Cola and a limoncello cocktail!) and worth trying too.

Tried this week & found the food quite good. Chose the rojo chilaquiles & a half order of challah french toast. Chilaquiles looked small but the rich flavours of the various elements came together substantially. Chips were really good & perfectly crispy. French toast was fantastic--surfaced was beautifully carmelized & real maple syrup(!!) to seal the deal. Definitely recommend, will be back for more.

Fabulous home style cooking and lovely staff. Will go out of their to give you what you want. We ordered three different things veggie omelet with chicken apple sausage, lomo saltado, and breakfast burrito. They all hit home runs. Omelet soft but cooked just right, burrito AMAZING. My Peruvian friend loved the lomo saltado. All perfectly cooked, fair pricing. This is employee owned - please go here and support this little gem you will not regret it!

Such delicious food! I went during brunch hours and had such a hard time deciding what to get. The kind server recommended the pozole, which was perfect for the foggy weather. The dish was a flavorful soup comprised of a rich broth, hearty hominy, a d delicate pork with thick cut chips and a side of garnishes. I enjoyed deciding how much of what to add to each bite. It was well portioned and truly delicious. Can't wait to go back and try more of the menu.

We ate here on Saturday around Noon. We had been in the long line across the street for brunch but noticed this place right across the street. I checked on Yelp and it was highly rated so we decided to try this instead. We were so happy we did! Seated right away, friendly service, and delicious food. I had the cochinitas pibil "tostadas" on mini, home made corn tortillas which were delicious and a side of fried plantains which were served with fresh crema. The teens started with home made tortilla chips and pico de gallo (delicious). One teen had the French toast with fresh berries was offered as a half order which was perfect at two nice sized slices and an iced caramel latte. My son had a version of a Benedict with poached eggs, carnitas, fresh guac, and hollandaise atop a freshly made corn cake (can't remember what it was called but my son loved it). Our server was attentive and chatty. We would definitely come back!
