I live in San Francisco for 14 years and this is the restaurant that is most typical of the kind of Mexican places in the Mission that I loved. My favorite there was La Victoria and this place reminds me of that.
I love the fact that they have cabrito (goat) as I grew up on that in south Texas. Their chipolte chicken is just delicious.
Regarding ambience, it is great if you long for the down home wobbly tables cramped Mexican places that you grew up with.
