Mr. Pollo San Francisco Reviews
Had a terrific return visit to the restaurant this week.
The food and service were top notch and the meal featured (apologies to the owners for the lack of detail or any inaccuracies): - coppa, peaches, burrata with an apricot/serrano chile sauce and arugula - a second course departure from the usual arep

The four course meal was so incredibly creative, delicious and perfectly proportioned. Graham is an amazing chef and rivals even the most pretentious Michelin starred restaurants. I have not had a more perfect meal in all of my travels. 10 star

We had a great time at Mr Pollo! This was my first time going to a fine dining restaurant and it did not disappoint. All four courses were delicious, my favorite one was the main course, which was a pork shoulder on top of sweet corn and peppers. The

We were welcomed with a tasty melon gazpacho, followed by a crunchy arepa. Our main dish was a salmon fillet with a tasty corn sauce. Dessert was a scrumptious blueberry gelato paired with a lemon mousse and topped with a crunchy cookie crumble. T
Amazing food and service. Highly recommended.
Amazing food and service, the best we had during our almost two week vacation in the US. Reservation early is a must to get in. Highly recommended!
Love this place! Very cool concept - 4-course tasting menu
Love this place! Very cool concept - 4-course tasting menu for only ~$50. I went twice in June 2025 - once by myself and ice with some friends. I actually really enjoyed going by myself because I got to chat with Graham (chef) and Will (owner) quite

Really enjoyed this spot - a 4 course tasting menu for $54! There are only 12 seats - we were able to sit at the bar and chat with the chef. We had a roasted eggplant with sesame, a chicken arepa, and pork loin with fresh veggies (corn is in season!)

Had a great time getting dinner here.
There are only a few tables inside and they serve the courses to everyone at the same time. Wasn't a huge fan of my first course (asparagus was pretty bitter and heavy on the olive oil), but the next two were great. The dessert was unique and ta
Came here with my sister on a recommendation from a friend.
The appetizer was pretty tasty. I never had straciatella cheese before but I loved the creamy texture. The asparagus was cooked perfectly. I was not a fan of the cubeb garnish. The arepa this week, which the protein changes weekly, was shrimp. I was

I was lucky enough to snag a reservation on Resy at 6pm on a Tuesday for my husband and I just a couple days ago. I assume someone must've cancelled since reservations are extremely hard to come by. The restaurant only seats 12 guests at a time.
Been here twice.
Love the vibe, intimate space, you can watch the chef prepare food and chat with them. You can book the whole space for an event. Seasonal ingredients, sensible and not overly complex recipes. The staple is the arepa, juicy and crunchy. Would kee
Planned a random weekday date night.
Was seated on the only 2 counter seats in the restaurant right in front of Chef Graham. Restaurant was tiny, loved the art on the walls, but it did get a little smokey as most of the cooking appears to come from the griddle. Enjoyed all 4 courses ($4
11 seats and 2 seatings per night.
Mr Pollo is nothing short of amazing. Get your reservations early!!!

This place never disappoints! Will is very easy going and makes everyone feel welcome. The food is delicious! We like the small feel of the space and the interactions with the host and chef. They have a great selection of drinks too.

Pretty much spent the whole time watching the skilled and talented chef at work and wolfing down every course in record time. And I'm normally a very slow eater. Am already dreaming of the next time we get to come here. The asparagus and prosciutto a

One of my favorite spots in the city! Writing this review a few months late so I don't remember the dishes, but it's by far one of the best priced tasting menus I've had. I was told that the dishes (starter, entree, dessert) rotate based on seasonal
Great hidden spot in San Francisco
Outstanding Fix Priced Menu. Our son/daughter-in-law were able to get us a table. Only 12-14 people per sitting which made it a very intimate experience. The food was outstanding. The wine list complimented the food. Overall, a highly recommended

This is such a hidden little gem and such a value for the food, atmosphere, and staff. It's probably In my top 10 favorite restaurants in San Francisco.
Had a terrific meal at Mr.
Pollo on 3/21/24. $45 for this four course meal was a bargain. The food, service and ambience were terrific - focused on good food, flavors, and conversation for those who want to connect with the co-owners, which includes the chef. Courses our night

Had a unique and wonderful experience at Mr.

100/10 this is the best restaurant in SF.
From start to finish each dish comes together and creates an experience on its own. Lucky enough to be there the night that Mark, the owner of Standard Deviant was around for a beer pairing for SF beer week. Could not recommend this place enough,

So good! We were lucky enough to secure a reservation to celebrate a birthday. Mr Pollo is a small restaurant that has ~6 tables and some bar seating so not meant for large group celebrations. Because of that, it's a pretty intimate experience. Mr
Wonderful fixed menu with seasonal ingredients.
The restaurant is extremely intimate; you get a front row seat to the kitchen. The pair running the show are friendly and attentive.

I first learned about this place from SFGate, a 45 dollar 4 course tasting? I thought it was too good to be true so I had to check it out. You can book a spot via resy, that's the easy part but finding an actual opening requires dedication and consta
Hands down my favorite restaurant experience in SF.
The tiny space and personal experience really make it feel like dining at a friends house (if I had any friends who were professional chefs).This is the best bang for your buck experience. It feels like it should be at least $60/person but it's actua

Despite it's name, Mr.
Pollo is not a chicken shop. "Mr. Pollo" is a relic from a previous Columbian rstaurant at this location. Walking into Mr. Pollo will either make those who are claustrophobic uncomfortable, or it will amaze those who appreciate the compactn

So worth the reservation and the long anticipated wait to try Mr. Pollo. This place is a true SF gem and I loved every minute of my time here. Just to level set - the space is tiny. It sits 12 people comfortably, but if you wanted to reserve the enti

Worth the reservation and the wait! Tiny restaurant, barely noticeable from the outside. Inside is quaint with just enough seats for a few small groups. It's a 4-course meal and I enjoyed everything that was served. We started with beef pumpkin soup,

Reservation needed.
It's so funny because it actually doesn't look like much but is extremely delightful. It's small on the inside and there's a few tables and one bar (highly recommend going early enough to get the bar) to chat with the chef.Went with a friend on a tab
10/10 experience.
The quality of food you get for the price is unheard of in SF. The restaurant is small, and there are 2 seatings a night. The small feel is awesome. My friend and I sat at the bar (which is the best seat in the place IMO) and got to chat with the che
Amazing intimate restaurant with every item on the tasting
Amazing intimate restaurant with every item on the tasting menu surpassing expectations. It's in a nondescript location but the food slaps. Really enjoyed the hanger steak and the arepa. Very filling. The food isn't light so I doubt you'll be hungry
It's a great place to eat, nice people and great food.
I totally recommend this place. I know the owner, he cooks great Colombian and Mexican food

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Mr. Pollo San Francisco at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Mr. Pollo San Francisco page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Mr. Pollo San Francisco to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Mr. Pollo San Francisco!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
