Restaurante San Vicente

Got it via DoorDash pickup. The restaurant environment looks okay, you can tell they have existed for a while. The fish is amazing! Not too oily. The rice was really good. When I go picked up the waitress seems very nice and it didn’t wait too long for me to get it. It was also in a good price and I definitely recommended to try if you are around excelsior.

Very poor service. We ordered food and an appetizer, and the food never arrived as an appetizer. The waitress just left the food and never asked if we needed anything. We wanted to pay, but we had to ask the cook for the bill because the waitress never showed up. They should put more effort into customer service. Nothing is free; we all pay for the food.

Nice place! Good and regular size pupusas. Horchata I would say it was a 7/10. It has bathrooms and you can pay with card, apple pay or cash.

Great little place that’s got some really good ethnic food from El Salvador and Honduras…highly recommend!

I ordered 7 mares (7seas)soup and it was nowhere close to what it is supposed to be. It had a crab shell with no crab meat in it, 2 shrimp, one clam and a bunch of imitation crab that was passed off as real crab. $25 later still wondering what that meal was.

The food is very good, you can then enjoy a chicken soup, beef, or seafood, some very hot and delicious baleadas or pupusas, it is a good place to attend as a family, the customer service is very good, if you would like to try Honduran or Salvadoran food I recommend this place.

I love pupusas and have tried many other places to get them but always return to get them from this restaurant. Theirs is not greasy and always tastes fresh. My partner is not fond of Latin food but LOVES their carne Asada on tacos. Rosie, is always accommodating and friendly! Definitely a must try.

Delicious food, it's a shame that they only serve well when the owner is present.

Came here on a Thursday evening and there were plenty of tables available. My friend and I got different menus with different numbering and different prices, so that was a bit confusing. The servers weren't super attentive but we didn't need much attention after the food came out. I loved the beautiful murals on the walls. In terms of toppings provided, I loved the giant container of slaw that they give you for the table and you could take as much as you wanted. The sauce was a bit thin and not as flavorful as I liked. I got two revuelta pupusas with the combo of rice and beans. The food came out in about 15 minutes. I loved the flavor and crispiness. I prefer beans that are a little thicker in texture but these were still tasty. The dish definitely hit the spot. My friend recommended I try the chicharron pupusas next time which sounds delicious, will try when I come next time!

Friendly service is fantastic feel like home! Food fresh hot and tasty highly recommend

Best pollo catracho around in the city! My wife is from Honduras and says this is the best one by far

The sopa de pata is delicious. Fry chicken with plantain the best. Love this place and customer service

Sin haber probado las pupusas este lugar se tardó una eternidad en sacar mi orden, la hice online y el señor dijo 30 min espera... hemos esperado 1 hora por 4 pupusas! Mal servicio al cliente.

Good if you're in the area and craving pupusas. Like most restaurants in the Excelsior, not worth going out of your way. THE WAIT None on a Monday around 11:30am; they were empty. 45 minutes later they had several other tables. THE SERVICE Incredibly slow for a pupuseria! I was hoping to be in and out in 30 minutes, but our food took a solid 20 minutes, even after I said we were in a rush. THE COST Pricey for the quality. $22.19 before tips for lunch for two (a lunch combo plus 3 pupusas). THE FOOD * Zucchini/Cheese Pupusa - 3 stars * Chiccharone/Cheese Pupusa - 3.5 stars In each of my pupusas, the cheese was very rubbery. Outside did have a nice crisp.

I was there for more than 2 hours and nobody came to even ask how we were doing we were calling them for a while nobody came to the table till we came all the way to the kitchen Customers were coming in and nobody from waitress asked what they wanted to order it was just a whole bad experience

Would I come back: I would if someone else wanted to go. Food: Tamales de pollo: 3/5 - This was the first time I've had tamales and it was pretty good. Just wish the ratio of meat to starch was better. It was quite starchy. Pupusa de queso: 3/5 - I can't say that I was a super fan. I think possibly cause the base is very doughy. Again I think it probably can be a little thinner to offset the starch. Carne Desilada: 4/5 - Now this I would order again. I liked the flavor on the meat and eggs. Truly tasty in my mind. Also a big plantain person so I'd say yes to this dish again. Service: 3.5/5 - The waitstaff were nice. I didn't get the right dishes...perhaps my Spanish is that bad...thankfully the ones I did get were tasty. I'd also say that the service is slow so be sure you are patient with how long it takes to get the food. Ambiance: 3/5 - It's very casual place. Plenty of tables though you may be sitting communally if in the center.

I'm very impressed. Their pupusas de arroz are delicious. Lots of flavors and not too much masa. I ordered empanadas de leche and they were also delicious. The "leche" was just the right texture as it should be. Platano just right sweet and soft. I've also ordered pasteles Salvadoreños and they are filled with shredded chicken not like the original pork and potato filled but they were good. Different but good. I was pleasantly surprised they didn't add the pupusa curtido to the pasteles like most places do. Pasteles come with cabbage, sliced tomatoes, radishes, lemon wedge and salsa. Definitely ordering again. Highly recommended. To the business- Don't for the sugar for the empanadas on to go orders. Please keep the cook you have now and give them a raise! I've ordered at least four times in the last 30 days. Great flavor. Gracias.

Very upset with this eating establishment especially during this Coronavirus pandemic. I wore a face shield into this place. None of the owners were wearing them; even though they had a full box laying on top of the bar. I was sent down the street to get cash from a store that gave me change. This store said this restaurant sends people to them a couple of times a day. Secondly, when I got home with my food my pupusas were burnt. I had to ask the cook for the curtito & salsa tomate. This stupid (half Latina) Gringa does understand Spanish & the food. The lady just laughed realizing that I knew my stuff! The food tasted horrible what I could eat. I got a bad case of diarrhea! Run don't walk away from this eating establishment. Try Rincon Latino on Mission. Their pupusas are phenomenal! I will never step foot into San Vicente Restaurant & Sports Bar again even if the food is free.

Yes yes yes. Should you come here? Yes. Okay, their food is prepared fresh... not only daily, but made to order. That is super awesome. Must wait some time for Pupusas. They prepare them right then and there.

Salvadoran approved and here's why I liked it. Okay I came here for breakfast, it was really yummy. Did not disappoint, the beans and Casamiento tasted hella good, will put my Salvadoran stamp of approval. The tameles was hella good. The flavor was surprisingly good, I normally don't like Salvadoran tamales, but I really liked this one. Someone said that it was too starchy? But I honestly prefer it when it has a lot of masa, just put some salsa over it haha. The fried platanos were good and the atol de elote was yummy, a little too sweet but that didn't stop me from liking it. Will comeback again one day!

Best pupusa's in the mission. Hands down! Small restaurant but lots of space to sit and have breakfast or dinner.

This place have worst customer service. I don't recommend this place to family and friends. The waitress are rude and very disrespectful they completely ignore you. The red headed girl was pretending not to see us as we were waiting to order food, heck she didn't even ask if we wanted something to drink. instead she went to the back and sat down was on her phone entire time. This other girl with black hair shows up I said excuse me and she walked away and was taking orders from other customers that show up after us. first time to walk in here and we get treated like this nope never coming back DO NOT COME HERE!! I do highly recommend LA FLOR IZOTE!!! best Salvadoran food they have great workers awesome music and made me my friends comfortable and happy definitely money worth spending.

I was in dire need of food tonight and was walking down the block with every intention of ordering Taco Bell. Since I've been working towards being a better budgeter, I figured the full price of a meal at Taco Bell was not gonna be worth the trip, especially since I'd still be hungry after. So I walked a little bit more down mission and happened across this place! For the record, I'm not experienced in eating pupusas. This is only the second time in my life I've had them. I ordered two pupusas here, each being $3.50: cheese and shrimp, as well as cheese and chicken. I didn't notice any difference between the two proteins since the cheese, the sauce, and the pickled salad (?) were all the same and overwhelmed the taste. However, that being said, I thought the pupusas were delicious! They were fresh, warm, and savory. The cheese was creamy and melt in my mouth. It brought me back to my dear first time... having pupusas. The two pupusas and the coca cola were all surprisingly filling, I'm having to sit down for a bit post-meal to write this review. And get this: the total was about $10! My tummy is full and happy.

I' first discovered this restaurant when I moved to San Francisco and my Airbnb was two doors down. I casually walked in and was surprised to find a whole fried fish on the menu. This is one of my favorite meals. But at this restaurant it was exceptionally good. The staff is always nice and the food is fresh and just damn delicious.

I ordered a beef paw soup a very traditional Salvadorean soup and I have ordered it before but today it tasted like water it didn't have any flavor and it was very disappointed because my husband was looking forward to have specially when is cold and also was missing some vegetables

They don't honor restaurant.com certificates. If you have one, don't bother. The place was completely empty, but they still refused to honor two paying customers' printed coupon, claiming to have never heard of restaurant.com. You would think that they would at least try to work something out in order to get some customers in the seats, but no, they did not (if it were my restaurant, I would at least offer some small discount just to get the customers to eat there). The place didn't look that nice, and literally the only reason we were going was because it was walking distance and it had a coupon. We chose to eat somewhere down the street instead. P.S. I would avoid restaurant.com in general - literally 25-50% of the places we go to with these coupons claim they "don't work" or won't honor them.

Had the tamales and bistec salvadoreño, both were really good. Our waitress was very nice and the food came within 10 minutes... prices were decent too.

Came here with high hopes. Left completely over it. After sitting down, we had to wait a little while before having our order taken. Then nearly an hour later, we got our food which was mediocre and rushed. I honestly think they forgot our order. During the wait we watched a large party, who was enjoying their meal the whole time, go to pay their bill which ended up being more then the menu prices. Apparently prices had gone up but they didn't update the menu. It was a mess. The food was not good enough for that wait and drama. I even saw someone else come in to order to go and walked out because they couldn't provide service fast enough.

It is local. It is tasty. They are friendly. I haven't ordered anything but the pupusas, but find them to to be fresh and satisfying. There is another place close by but the masa is just not the way it should be. Here it is perfect. They just don't disappoint. Oh and the curtido is good too!

Food here is great when they have it and when you can get service... These are my favorite pupusas in Outer Mission, and they definitely taste better than the 5-6 others on the block. The curtido here is excellent. Service tends to be pretty shoddy, they'll take 5 minutes to give you a menu, another 10 minutes to take your order...and then you'll get your food. As long as you have time, go here.

Great food and nice people! We've come here a few times and the food is really fresh and homemade. Sometimes if takes a while for them to make the pupusa, but homemade is worth the wait!

The pupusas are ok but when get Curtido to go they bearly give u any and the salsa bearly any!!

For 2 pupusas it took them 45 minutes to bring out. P.S. There were only one other table with a couple

Good food had the panes con gallina it was off the hook and service was great!! Highly recomended

I have passed by this restaurant too many times, since this is on my way back home, one day I decided to try it and since then, I have been visiting them almost one or twice per month, the food is good, prices are good as well, it is not a fancy american style restaurant, mostly is a latino restaurant where you can buy a good plate of food, and you can ask to the waitress if you need your plate to be modified, depending of your need.

They took really long to get our food ready the lady got confused w/ that orders that were like 8 pupusas and a tipico san vicente witch it didn't have what it said in the menu and it was like 20 dollars and food was burn it was bad bad service and wayyy to expensive

terrible place im telling you! if i can put no stars in this place, i would. ordered a GRILLED STEAK taco not SHRIMP tacos. I cannot believe this place and this was my first time trying it. I called them to tell them about this, sadly no one knows how to speak english there and i do not know how to speak Spanish as well. I also can't take back my order anymore since its been delivered to my house. its so expensive and it's just not worth it.

Even though I live close by, I've never stopped by until today out of convenience. At first I wanted to order the chicken tamale since it was cheap (around $4), but they charge a minimum of $14 for credit card, so I had to order around that price... I decided to order their carne Asada plate. The food is decent, the meat was too salty. Overall, I may come back again.. the cashier is nice though!

Amazingly delicious food! I'm Salvadoran & it reminded me of my moms & all the great dishes

I came here on the weekend to eat Salvadoreña food. I ordered pupusa and tilapia fish dish. They were great and delicious. Price was reasonable too. Must try!

Awesome dishes I had never tried before like pupusas filled with a flower called loroco. Shrimp pupusas was great too. Salvadoran tamales wrapped in bananas leaf. The mar y terra had quality grilled shrimp and beef. The plates other people ordered looked really good too. So many things to try next time.

Yesterday I was charged shrimp pupusa prices and was given cheese instead. I had called in the order and gave them an extra 5 minutes before I got there. The restaurant was not busy but somehow I was made wait 20 minutes while there. The staff is incompetent and rude. I do not recommend this business, POOR SERVICE. And the one star IS VALID.
