La Cocina on Hyde

"Gorgeous little group of eateries. It’s clean, comfortable, and has a friendly atmosphere. I love that the sinks are outside of the restrooms; I’ve always thought that all venues that serve food should be that way."

"Omg…! Truly a gem of an eating experience! This is truly a uniquely international “Food Court,” with cuisines spanning 7 different parts of the globe, and each offering a $5 plate of their gourmet offerings, amongst other things….It’s not only a win for the Fine Taste Community, but for the EveryMan. Check out their awesome dining space, located at 101 Hyde street in the heart of San Francisco…they are truly doing something wonderful, and will inspire your appetite for the better."

"Went here last week for the first time. I was attending a small afternoon meeting. Great location and perfect space inside for a small informal meeting. Today I was having a quick/informal/semi-business lunch with another person. Again, great space for my purpose. We ordered lunch from Mi Morena. There are a total of 8 different small establishments inside La Cocina. We both ordered fish tacos for lunch and Pineapple fresca for our beverage. Our tacos were amazing!!! The fish was lightly battered, cooked fresh, cabbage, the works. The fresca was perfect too. Not too sweet. Once you order you find a seat inside and they bring your order to you. Jose, took our order and also brought our food out to us...both tasks with a smile, personable and still professional!"

"I was out and about this morning. I want to say the corner of Golden Gate & Hyde (former USPS General Delivery) space has been transformed. I walked through a well organized, bright and welcoming space. This venue has multiple women/of color spaces. The Tenderloin is thriving in spite of all that is currently being written, video."

"I love this place. It’s like stepping into different parts of the world while still being in the tenderloin area. The bouncer as I would like to call him was nice and friendly as he ask for vaccine cards before anyone enters. The barista at Fluid cafe was nice too and made us excellent coffee and hot chocolate with oat milk. We tried Kayma the Algerian cuisine and the food and service was great. I’m in love with their fries and the lady owner (I think) was very sweet to give us baclava and drinks on the house. This place have hand washing sink outside a bathroom which I personally find essential to any food court. I think they’re smart to include it. I also admire the interior design and I’m assuming it’s a single or one group of designers responsible for the design of all stalls because everything is uniform and no stall outshines the other. Everybody is friendly and I can’t believe this place exist in tenderloin. I would love to come back and try the other cuisines."
