The food in Lolinda is incredible! The ceviche has the perfect balance of flavors, the chicken is cooked beautifully, and the pork chop is packed with delicious taste and the salmon was amazing, and the sauce was so good—it was my first time trying it, and I loved it. Our server Jose, was amazing-super friendly and accommodating.One of my favorite restaurants in San Francisco. Highly recommend this place.

We had an amazing meal at this Argentinian steakhouse! The pork chop was juicy and full of flavor, and the Pulpo was cooked perfectly. We usually stick to cocktails, which are always great, but this time we tried the wine our waiter recommended, and it was excellent. For dessert, we had the churros and alfajores—both were delicious! The churros were warm and crispy, and the alfajores were sweet and creamy. This is one of our favorite places to eat. The food, drinks, and service are always fantastic. Highly recommend!

We had the chicken skewer, coliflor and the ceviche Mixto. All were great. The Ojo de Bife was pretty good but nothing to rave about.

Hostesses got us seated quickly and our server was extremely fast. Great food. I got the ribeye with potatoes and Brussel sprouts which were absolutely divine. Food was overall delicious, a little greasier than I was anticipating but the flavor was there so I didn’t mind. I’d definitely come back and recommend!

Avoid sitting upstairs. It feels like a chain restaurant up there.
