The Castro Republic - San Francisco

We went during their Friday happy hour (which also happens on Thursdays) so we order the $5 nachos, fried avocado tacos, and garlic fries. Everything was very authentic and tasted amazing. Some of the best fries I've ever had. We also enjoyed some beers for $5.

A great neighborhood Americanized Mexican restaurant. Good number of interesting dishes and the food is good and the service is excellent. I like the location with a view of all the people walking by on Market Street, perfect for brunch on the weekends.

I've only been here for drinks, but Republic had a pretty good beer selection. The food looked awesome, though we didn't have any as we were passing time until our reservation next door. The staff were nice and, after asking us what we liked to drink beer-wise, they were responsible for making me discover the amazing Hell or High Watermelon by 21st Amendment Brewery. Had it not been for our waitress, I may have never known of this fantastic beer, which is now my all time favorite. Just for that, they get 4 stars in treatment with their customers and overall good service.

Our group of four walked in off the street and we were extremely happy with our choice. The staff is very friendly and provided helpful suggestions. The menu is not extensive but the food is delicious. We started with chips and guacamole which was so tasty that I didn't have time to take a picture of it before it was gone. Everyone in the party ordered a selection of the tacos. I would absolutely recommend the pork belly taco, but all of the ones I tried were excellent.

This is one of our favorite places for brunch in SF. All of their food is delicious and they are not the kind of place with an hour wait, which is fantastic. Today we had the chilaquiles with chorizo and the Cubano Benedict. As always, the flavors are wonderful. The chilaquiles had just the right amount of spice.
