Warm, friendly, bilingual service of absolutely delicious food. Servings are generous, prices reasonable. I love platanos maduros con frijoles y crema. My son had a plate of pork, beef, plantain chips, coleslaw and rice with beans. He is always hungry, but could not finish it. SO good! I hope to visit again and get the mondongo some time soon.

I love the food here. Was raised on Nicaraguense food, soy Nicoya. I've been coming here for years! The only thing is they charge way too much! Every time I come to eat here (now that I live across the bay) the prices go up and I mean not by a few cents. I mean by a few dollars ‍ I hope they stop at some point before I have to go somewhere else ‍ Nicoya has spoken!

Las Tinajas has been 1 of the few nicaragüense restaurants in SF. The food is good and they offer a variety of dishes, desserts and drinks. The bistek in this occasion was seasoned well, super soft. Gallopinto wasn't dry which is great and was a wonderful compliment to the dish. Tajadas were nice and crunchy but not too salty. Overall, I've always enjoyed las tinajas. Check it out if you want to try Nicaraguan food.

This is an old school place, you don't need a review from me. You're either coming here or you're not. I just wanted to add a decent picture of the menu because most of the pics on here are either blurry or old... or both!

The food is delicious, good portions & reasonable priced. The staff are amazing, kind, caring, and accommodating. My wife is from Nicaragua, and we found the food to be totally authentic. There are a variety of dishes to choose from. We enjoyed it so much on Monday that we came back today (Wednesday) before our flight home to Ontario Airport.

Let me start by saying that I have been going to Las Tinajas Restaurant way before Yelp even began. My mom use to take me here when I was a young girl and now 2023 it still does not disappoint. The servers are still just as friendly as I remember them. The food is still delicious as I remember it, fresh and with a lot of flavor with every taste. The restaurant seemed to look the same way as I remember it as well minus some signed jerseys that used to be on the wall. The only downside is the ordering process which has still not changed in the front where it causes back up at the door. As long as the food is still great which it is...the line is worth the wait.
