Reviews for El Techo in San Francisco, CA
The best Margaritas I have ever tasted especially from a restaurant/bar. Happy hour rocked! The Pollo was addictive it was so... delicious. Love the view of the city as it's a rooftop. Took a friend for his birthday to Happy hour and we both truly enjoyedthe experience. The only down side is it's upstairs and the residents can be rude if you take the elevator even if you have adisability. Otherwise it was a lot of fun! Read more
A cool rooftop tapas bar in the Mission District of San Fran. We went on a Saturday evening and there was a line waiting to get... up. After 10 min, we were seated at a small two top by the bar. A local told us to order the chicharones and they did notdisappoint. Neither did the drinks, which were all made to order with fresh ingredients and juices (spicy paloma pictured).Service was a little slow, but they were quite busy. Read more
Overall, we really enjoyed our drinks and tapas here. The outdoor patio is awesome, with absolutely incredible views of the... city. The cocktails were very well made and reasonably priced. The tapas were delicious! My biggest downsides are that they arevery protective, to the point of “look down their nose” exclusivity about who gets in and where you can sit. If you don’thave a table reserved, you’re going to be quite literally rubbing elbows at a standing bar with a hundred other people crammedinto the small space for Happy Hour folks. Tack on needing to climb four flights of steps to get there - not at all fun with abellyful of cocktails - and I was left with a few frustrations that notably diminished our overall experience.

Great drinks and service. We got appetizers and they were good as well. The view of downtown was also great. A good place to... hang out Read more
I had the best time at El Techo! Definitely the best rooftop bar in the city with food! Anthony, our host, gave us a prime table... facing the skyline so we could catch that sunset view. Claudio was also super friendly and suggested some of the best dishes! Healso kept making sure we were good and if we needed anything. Quality food and quality service! I’ll definitely come backhere with a group of friends next time. Definitely make a reservation prior so you don’t have to wait in line downstairs.It’s a popular spot, so it’s super worth it!

We were visiting the city and met up with friends for brunch here. The entire restaurant is on the rooftop, so be prepared for a... few flights of stairs, but the view at the top is amazing! Such a great way to view the city. The food itself was all very goodand came out fast. We had fried plantains and ceviche for appetizers. The plantains were my favorite. The ceviche was prettygood in my opinion, not the best I’ve had. I personally would like more lime in it. I ordered the blue corn huaraches whichwas simple but really good. I would definitely come back here again when we visit! Read more
Great rooftop modern Mexican restaurant in the mission. Fabulous city views. Lots of seating, but it’s best to book ahead as... it’s so popular! We went for brunch and it was soo good. We ate chips and salsa (which were amazing) and then veggie scrambleand the Huevos rancheros. The cocktails were very good too! Food was well prepared and delicious. Service was efficient andfriendly. It’s a must if you’re in the area. Read more

The services is fine, it has fun environment, it is family friendly, it has elevatorfor strollers, they don’t have kids menu tho. But you can totally come and have good time here ! Read more
