Delicious food, fantastic and personal service, extremely reasonable prices and the pride shines through in the food preparation. Neighborhood local business that is very worthy of your support!

Get legit Salvadorian food here! Everything seems have made including pupusas and great bread. The NY steak was solid and a steak at $15. The pupusas we're good but not great with the sauce and cabbage not as flavorful as others but a great deal at $2.50 each. Got the chicken cheese and the pork/cheese/beans ones. The chips and salsa was really good and had a nice level of spice. Jolly atmosphere and nice wait staff!

While we do not live in San Francisco, my husband and I make it a point to eat at Montecristo Restaurant #2 every year as part of his birthday celebration. The staff is friendly, and they take the time to answer questions about their dishes. The food is amazing! You can taste the high-quality ingredients in all of their dishes. And the meals are freshly made once you place your order. I would highly recommend Montecristo #2 if you want fresh, authentic, Salvadoran food with a smile

Really good! The palm flower main was different, intensely flavored, and delicious. The sides it came with were superb as well - particularly delicious rice, unusually tasty beans, and homemade tortillas. The pupusas were good, but no better than the other pupusa places on that stretch of mission. But overall a really good place for tasty, good value Salvadoran yummyness.

This place is really good with authentic food. The place is small and cozy. I really enjoyed it here. The waitress was nice as well. Even tho their Horchata is a little too grainy for me, the rest of the food was great.

The service is good but the food is not. I guess for the price that’s what you get. My meat was warm and the rice lumpy and cold😒. The tortillas came late. First and last time we eat here. We only came because it’s next to Salvadorian bakery.

Ordered the fried fish. It was burnt and all the seasoning was on the inside of the fish. Had to add my own seasoning. The salad it comes with was very small and very basic. I wouldn't recommend ordering this dish. However, this review is for the fried fish. Pupusas here are pretty good.

The staff is friendly and welcoming, which makes for a pleasant first impression. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about the owner, whose rude and dismissive demeanor leaves a lasting negative impression. Her lack of professionalism not only undermines the team’s efforts but also discourages customers from returning—a disappointing and shortsighted approach for someone running a business.
