el Mil Amores — Restaurant in San Francisco

I found this Restaurant in San Francisco Google Maps. The place was highly reviewed. I took a look at the menu and I was intrigued by the items served and decided to go give it a try. I drove to 21st and Florida streets, I circled around the block a couple of times and finally found an empty space two block away. I opened the pink doors of the building and walked right inside, the lady serving the restaurant asked if I wanted to seat at the counter or that I was welcome to seat at any of the tables available. was fine. A large table for six people were just being served on the corner and decided to go for the CDMX plate, a blue artisan square plate was served with the goods, on the corner of the plate a small round casuela with crispy chilaquiles, salsa verde, sliced arranchera steak, onions, sour cream with queso fresco filled to the top all mixed well with the slight acidic flavor of the tomatillos and jalapeños that harmonized very well leaving a stinging sensation on the palate, next to the cazuela the scrambled eggs lie on top of soft country style potatoes with a ton of flavor. The incredible Mexican Torta on the other side of the plate made my day, a Mexican sweet bread stuffed with pastry cream and mixed berries right on top of it the perfect complement to my hot tea. Hands down the best rendition of “mama used to make at home” kind of food that makes you wanting to came back for more. The place is clean with a down to earth feel to it the lady serving the food was had a great attitude. I will definitely make this place my place to go next time when I crave for Mexican food. I only wish they will open for dinner sometime...

Overall, it was a fine experience and I'd absolutely recommend visiting to those who haven't. The chilaquiles that my husband ordered was phenomenal. Because of this, I would go back. But I'm taking out one star in the hopes that they'll make improvements on their eggs benedict.

The poached eggs were hard boiled, which was a huge disappointment. The name of the dish "Eggs benedict" has the word eggs in it because the eggs are supposed to be the main star of the dish. The spotlight is on the eggs, and runny yolk should work with the hollandaise to glue the other protein and the bread together into a perfectly soft, creamy and savory bite, and you should still be able to taste the eggs. But there was only hard yolk on my eggs benedict. The chipotle hollandaise tasted good, but there was just too much on the plate and it stole the thunder from the eggs. The balance was lacking and it ended up making the whole dish too creamy. I suggest adding more kick to the sauce and reducing the amount plated. There was nothing special about the bread and personally, the regular bread seemed to downgrade the class of the dish. Because of no runny yolk and only a flood of the sauce, it tasted like eating white bread soaked in chipotle mayo. The ham was too thin. It could have been that it just felt like so due to the overloaded sauce. Again, the balance was off. Also, I think using a different type of protein here would make this dish so much more deserving of a spot on their innovative and thoughtfully constructed menu. I'm curious what the dish would be like with chorizo or pulled pork (and perhaps with their...

I was craving chilaquiles and there's a search for the best in the San Francisco area and came up with this wonderful spot and boy did it not disappoint! Parking can be challenging in the area but we got lucky and we were greeted and seated by a sweet lady and the young lady took our order and answered any questions we had on the menu. I ended up ordering the full order of chilaquiles with chorizo with half rojo and half green Verde sauce. My significant other ordered the Huevos en Ahogada. We also ordered the Concha French toast and I got the aqua Fresca Tamarindo which was flavored not too sweet and just perfect. The texture of the chilaquiles was exactly hitting the spot for what I was looking for the crunch with the sauciness was right on point. His ahagado plate was so tasty and had the perfect amount of spice. The black bean puree with side of rice balanced everything out beautifully. This breakfast brunch lunch spot is run by a warm family and the food was worth the drive from South San Francisco. The Verde sauce had just right amount of flavor and tang. The Concha French toast was perfect and the cream cheese flavoring with the strawberries was all I needed they did have maple syrup available if you wanted a little extra sweetness. I highly recommend this place and I will definitely be back to try out the other delicious items...
