THE BEST BREAKFAST IN SF!! They have the best breakfast in SF. Whether you want the traditional or Latino breakfast, everything is always DELICIOUS. customer service is also great. I used to come to this place almost every weekend when I lived in SF. Now, every time I’m in town, this is still one of my to stops.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 JC Belmont · Jul 2024

Went there for the first time thinking I was gonna enjoy some Mexican chilaquiles which I love so much but it was rather different and disappointing. They had hardly any flavor unless you add that green salsa which they serve on the side. You get a 2oz ceramic ramekin of each: green salsa, sour cream and beans. Was craving more beans. It was underwhelming. The club sandwich was delicious and so were the French fries. Coffee was very watered down diner coffee, not good. Not sure if I want to return here or not. I have mixed feelings.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Gavin Hanlin · Jan 2023

This place was a let down, I came in expecting just a regular diner but I was let down by the food. For starters the chilaquiles were made with stale chips and not nearly enough egg. My corned beef hash was also a let down and it felt like it came from a can, plus it was under cooked. Over all my experience did not meet my expectations. The food was lacking in both taste and quality, and I couldn't help but feel that the ingredients used were the lowest quality.

Red Cafe is the place for classic and delicious breakfast/ brunch dishes. The place gets packed and there’s usually a wait, but it goes by fast! I love their fluffy pancakes and French toast the most! Although they offer a variety of other dishes that you may like too.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Dan C · Oct 2016

Good spot for tasty, filling breakfasts. I LOVED the oatmeal pancakes and liked the corned beef hash (though it's not quite as exciting as it looks). The eggs, sausage, and toast were nice but standard. Portions were very large - prepare for leftovers unless you're very hungry. Service was efficient and friendly, and the atmosphere was nice - lots of locals coming in and chatting, giving it a real neighborhood feel. Décor was simple but nice, and interior was breezy and pleasant. Good spot for breakfast in the mission.
