Red Cafe - San Francisco, California

Went there for the first time thinking I was gonna enjoy some Mexican chilaquiles which I love so much but it was rather different and disappointing. They had hardly any flavor unless you add that green salsa which they serve on the side.
You get a 2oz ceramic ramekin of each: green salsa, sour cream and beans. Was craving more beans. It was underwhelming.

The club sandwich was delicious and so were the French fries.

Coffee was very watered down diner coffee, not good.

Not sure if I want to return here or not. I have mixed feelings.

Red Cafe is the place for classic and delicious breakfast/ brunch dishes. The place gets packed and there’s usually a wait, but it goes by fast!

I love their fluffy pancakes and French toast the most! Although they offer a variety of other dishes that you may like too.

This place was a let down, I came in expecting just a regular diner but I was let down by the food. For starters the chilaquiles were made with stale chips and not nearly enough egg. My corned beef hash was also a let down and it felt like it came from a can, plus it was under cooked. Over all my experience did not meet my expectations. The food was lacking in both taste and quality, and I couldn't help but feel that the ingredients used were the lowest quality.

Good spot for tasty, filling breakfasts. I LOVED the oatmeal pancakes and liked the corned beef hash (though it's not quite as exciting as it looks). The eggs, sausage, and toast were nice but standard. Portions were very large - prepare for leftovers unless you're very hungry.

Service was efficient and friendly, and the atmosphere was nice - lots of locals coming in and chatting, giving it a real neighborhood feel. Décor was simple but nice, and interior was breezy and pleasant.

Good spot for breakfast in the mission.

If you visit Red Cafe, be prepared to stress about parking on the crowded streets. The food was okay, with prices starting at $15. While the staff was nice, the experience overall isn't worth the hassle.

The Red Cafe is where he promised us breakfast, and I was all in!
Twas non other than Pinkus Magoo that said he'd spot for breakfast, but...Thar be a catch. ..Ol Pinkus needed a Joint Wasser for his Pixitillier so he could go to Burning Man and be the talk of the town, and in his words...I be the only 89 year old that can still wag his tail with the best of um! First time in the Red Cafe for me. The Red Cafe is a pleasant place full of local flavors and friendly neighbors, where most people know each other's names.
The breakfast was simple, fresh and delicious, delivered hot under an unassuming smile. 5 stars ☆☆☆☆☆
