Chao Pescao

As a gluten free girlie, I was excited to try this place I found on Find ME GF. I went here in the middle of the day, and it was fairly quiet since it was before the rush. The bartenders were very sweet, and I got to sit next to the window that looks into the secret garden. They told me that all kinds of animals visit every day. The food was excellent, specially the veggie empenadas. Such delicious filling! My only wish is that there had been more delicious salsa, but I was too shy to ask for more. Sauces were delicious too! I will definitely be back when I come visit SF again.

Very yummy and great gluten free options!

The music was lively but played at a reasonable volume level, giving the restaurant a cool vibe. The tables were all clean and everything looked very organized and the decorations fit the theme. The food was delicious. We ordered the pan de bono - delicious, chewy soft, cheese “bread” balls of heaven. They are actually made with tapioca flour (if I remember correctly), making them gluten free, yet quite enjoyable. My bf has the Cubano sandwich, which I took a bite of. The bread was perfectly toasted and the cheese beautifully melted. Filled with delicious ham, the only thing we’d change is to add more mustard. I ordered the lechon cubano - delicious pork with a crispy topping, served with a side of black beans, some sort of orange-colored spicy sauce, fried yucca patties, and rice. Our server/bartender Hirving gave us impeccable service. He was very fun and pleasant, and even played an awesome Latin-remixed Backstreet Boys - “I want it that way.” Overall a great time and great food. Definitely will come back in the future
