Enjoyed the vegetarian options. The quesadillas were one of the best I've ever had, and were loaded with veggies. The enchiladas and queso fundido were also good. I got the enchiladas with both red and green salsa but I liked the green more. The portions are quite large and those three items is excess for 2.

The red pozole was so tasty! Definitely worth trying!

Excellent Mexican food. They start you with three salsas and chips, which are delicious. I had a carnitas super burrito, also very good. Friendly staff and a very attractive interior. They have a full bar as well. Definitely the place to for Mexican classics if you're on the north side of Protrero Hill.

Give this place a try. I loved the atmosphere. It was dimly lit inside, and there was outside seating too. The servers were very friendly, and attentive. The duck meat torta I had was amazing, my wife didn't like the grilled chicken wet burrito she ordered, it I thought it was really good. I recommended her to get a chicken torta to go, and she loved that. My son also got a beef torta which he loved too. Try the torta, you won't be disappointed.

The food was excellent! We got 2 burritos & they were very flavorful we will be returning & i highly recommend! You will not be disappointed

Amazing Halal Breakfast Experience! I recently visited Cracked & Battered on 18th Street and had an absolutely wonderful experience! I ordered Fatima’s ShakShuka and it was incredible – perfectly spiced, fresh ingredients, and cooked to perfection. The flavors were authentic and satisfying. It’s so great to have a quality halal breakfast option in San Francisco. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was excellent. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a fantastic breakfast, especially if you’re seeking halal options. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more items on the menu!

Their food is some of the best I’ve had in quite some time. We stumbled upon this corner restaurant by accident and had zero regrets. Our favorites are the chicken and waffle burrito and their French toast. Their French toast is the best I’ve ever had, soft and flavorful. You must check this place out!

Came here for brunch and love the setup. You order and pay online before they serve you food. The food is amazing. I had a fried chicken Benedict and was super impressed by the portion and the taste. The only downside is the outdoor seating we were at was directly in front of the sun and it wasn't the most pleasant dining experience. I am okay with outdoor seating but maybe have a shed for situation like this. Besides that, i would definitely be back to try on different menu again.

Heard a lot about their fried chicken Benedict but I ended up going with the Nashville chicken burrito and it did not disappoint. Amazing breakfast burrito and the service was top tier. The owners/servers were so kind and this place is fully halal I would highly recommend checking them out.

Good morning guys! Cracked & Battered has some secrets recipes. The chicken is cooked in a special crunchy & juicy way. Every time I think about the chicken this place comes out to my stomach. The waffles are delicious, that have the right amount of sugar, eggs and etc. We ll definitely come back for more!

one of the best meals i had in san francisco!! the staffs are really friendly and the hummus was life-changing !! chicken is a must get :-)

Great chicken & waffles! Waffles were crispy and freshly prepared, and so was the chicken. Wasn’t too much of a wait for the food after ordering in person. Definitely a great brunch spot to try out in the city.

One of the finest breakfasts I had in a long, long time. Had the C&B platter plus French Toast. Both were amazing. Service is very good. Place is nice. Such an open vibe. Cannot recommend it any higher. A lot of positive hustle and bustle. A definite “must” when in SF.

Fatimas shakshuka was good with the green peppers, refilled my pita bread when I finished it and still had some more hummus leftover, the hummus was very good and the eggs were made perfect. Chicken snd waffles were good but just wish there was more syrup, fried chicken was the best part. Good place for breakfast or lunch, dining area is somewhat smaller so best for parties of 2-3 people

A must-visit in SF. Great restaurant with very friendly owners. Amazing location too, and great to walk around afterwards. I recommend the chicken benedict- it’s amazing. Their potatoes are also quite scrumptious. Whether you sit indoors or outdoors, you will have a great time. I recommend going with the family or with friends.. you will definitely want to go again.

This place has great food. I had their chicken and waffle breakfast plate and it was delicious. Wasn't sure if they served real maple syrup with that though. I'll have to ask next time I go

Nick Mecklenburg

Always get the C&B plate. Each part of the meal is distinctly good. There’s a big cluster of nice brunch spots all in this area and they’re all busy, so you really can’t go wrong; sometimes this is the primary, sometimes the backup, but whenever we go we’re never disappointed.

Imran Syed

Amazing food and service, everything was as expected. The chicken was tender and juicy, waffles were fluffy!! Iced latte was the only item that missed the mark. Their Orange and carrot juice was very [FRESH]!

Started my Daughters 10th birthday by coming to eat breakfast here in the morning and I must say this restaurant isn't just a place to eat, it's an experience. The service is impeccable, with staff who treat you like royalty, making you feel genuinely valued. And let's talk about the chicken and waffles it's a revelation! The chicken is perfectly seasoned and fried to a delightful crisp, while the waffles are light, airy, and have just the right touch of sweetness. 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Made the trek from the peninsula to SF for Sunday brunch at Cracked & Battered and it did not disappoint. The wait was not too long (although it took some time to find the person taking names to add to the wait list). Food was hearty & delicious (but not the place for a light meal) and it's wonderful that they serve halal chicken. The service was also great, we had someone checking on us often. We sat outside and it was still noisy but too be expected for such a buzzing place. I just wish they served decaf coffee bc their coffee drinks looked amazing!

Papito in San Francisco is a cozy, welcoming spot with a menu that balances flavor, freshness, and creativity. The overall service was attentive and friendly, making the dining experience smooth from start to finish. The staff checked in often enough to make sure everything was good, but without being overbearing, which always makes a difference. When it comes to the food, everything we tried was impressive. I had the Vegetariano, which was hearty, flavorful, and satisfying without being too heavy — a great choice for anyone looking for a tasty meat-free option. The chicken tacos were another favorite, perfectly seasoned and well-portioned, not greasy or overloaded with toppings. Their quesadillas stood out as well: they had the right amount of cheese and filling, balanced and not overly stuffed, which kept them delicious without feeling overwhelming. The drinks complemented the food perfectly. The spicy mango drink had just the right kick of heat to balance the sweetness, making it super refreshing and unique. Along with a few beers, the overall mix kept the meal fun and flavorful. Papito does a great job of keeping things authentic yet approachable, offering a dining experience that feels both elevated and casual. Between the good service, satisfying food, and unique drink options, it’s definitely a spot worth revisiting when craving Mexican food in the city

I came here with a friend with no reservation and got seated right away! Food here has a real Good: - Great customer service - lots of smiles for us and lots of great checking from the staff on how we were doing - The enchiladas were huge and were decent - I got the mole and chicken one - chicken was a little dry Bad: - Food was alright - wasn't the best I've ever had - Really casual diner feel Overall enjoyed the meal, the portion sizes were great and I enjoyed the experience.

Had a team lunch here Cool hole in the wall type, neighborhood restaurant Limited street parking Good size dining room Full bar Attentive staff Great decor Good menu to look thru When you walk in, you this hang out vibe...then you look left and see this large bar and you're like, time to hang out. Lol Foodwise, mite not be what you really want to eat as compared to where you usually go for mexican food but at the same time there is a lot to choose from their menu....and their presentation and food portions will totally make you a fan...and to top it off, it tastes good!

The place was packed, and we ended up sitting outside after about 20 minutes on the waitlist. Unfortunately, there were no heaters, and it was very windy and cold. You order using a QR code, and it took around 15 minutes for the food to come out. Sadly, the food was cold by the time we got it. The flavors and portions were good, and I can see why the place is popular.

Decent breakfast spot. Fried chicken is surprisingly tender and moist. Loved it paired with their hollandaise. Cold brew was also surprisingly floral. Service is quick. Wouldn't go out of my way to come here, but it's worth stopping by if you're around the area

We did take out and everything was soggy. Quesadillas re-crisping efforts in a frying pan worked ok, “crunchy” tacos could not be salvaged. And queso fundido was like eating solid cheese, looks and tastes nothing like fundido should. I think that item was the most disappointing.

The food is great and we always come here for their chicken and waffles. We went there today and there were pieces of ceramic (most-likely broken plate or cup) in my bite. The manager did not address it at all and all they gave was a replacement chicken and waffles with a *smaller and drier* piece of white meat as opposed to the dark thigh filet in the original order. Not to mention they forgot to give us cutlery too. Quite disappointed at their service and how they dealt with this.

This is unbelievalble - in short the worst Mexican food I ever had in SF (and probably anywhere). I have never written a 1* review beofore. 1) despite almost an hour time between when I put my order in and it not being an 'asap' order but timed - I got there 7 min late becasue parking was hard and the food was not ready - it was another 10 min wait 2) I only live about 5 min away and at home the food was barely warm (so probably it had been sitting there for whatever reason) - also the taco's were very soggy 3) what's up with the pineapple? it's in everything 4) the food (tacos pastor, tacos carnitas) had very little flavor, the quesadillas carnitas was also super soggy. The tacos papa con chorizo was ok. Never again!

This place was a huge letdown. After waiting 30 minutes in line (they said 15), we ordered the C&B Plate and Fried Chicken Benedict. It took 40 minutes for our food to arrive, and when it did, the eggs were wrong, and the chicken was missing. They gave us a small piece of chicken and what felt like someone else’s scrambled eggs to make up for it. To top it off, when I asked for hot sauce, they handed me a broken bottle that spilled all over my plate. The service felt careless, and the experience was frustrating from start to finish. I’m never going back to this place again!
