Montecristo — Restaurant in San Francisco

Been coming to this place for years but lately it seems like they just don't care for their costumers. The owner (who btw seems to be in a bad mood permanently) and his mistress/waitress need to pay more attention to the costumers. Pda during work hours is gross. The prices here are ok, the food decent and the portions generous but the service is just unacceptable. We waited almost an hr for two carne asada plates on a rainy saturday morning(when we walked in the place was empty).Two set of costumers came in way later than us and got their food significantly sooner than we did. The waitress and owner then sat down to their own meal which had been in the works shortly after we walked in im guessing. We then had to interrupt their meal by asking for the check. Never came by to ask if we were OK or if we needed anything. I could've made this food at home and avoided all the waiting and nonsense....

If you're ever in the area and want some papusas or nachos this is the place! It has almost nothing to do with the food ( which was pretty good by the way). It has to do with the people. A homeless looking guy walked in while I was there and went up to the counter. The guy behind the counter came out and brought him some amazing looking rice and beans. No charge. Apparently he comes in a lot and he's not the only one.

We take care of those who take care of others, so let's support businesses that are making a difference in...

Great selection of traditional Salvadoran items, with a small smattering of salad and Mexican food options.

Breakfast menu is a nice addition, sometimes an omelette for dinner just works for me, I like that choice.

Beer is well priced, I had a 32 oz. Regia and it was outstanding, served ice cold.

Shrimp cocktail was outstanding, so was the Bistec Salvadoreno ... this place deafly earn my five stars.

Don't come looking for a fancy atmosphere, but if you come here for outstanding food you won't be...
