Precita Park Cafe & Grill on Postcard

"This casual neighborhood spot is reasonably priced with good coffee, but FYI: tables can be hard to come by. Fill up in the morning on scrambles or French toast or go in at lunch for a salad, sandwich, or burger. The only thing to keep in mind about this cute cafe is that when it's time for dinner service, the free Wifi turns off. Bonus: if work gets stressful... they also have wine and beer." - Daisy Barringer, Ellen Fort, Caleb Pershan

"Precita Park Café is a cute neighborhood spot, the perfect place to grab a freshly squeezed juice (or let's be honest — a beer), after an afternoon hanging out in the park across the street. The menu is seasonal—featuring pizzas, fresh pastas, burgers, etc. written up on large hanging menu boards along the back wall. Nothing fancy, just a solid hangout to catch up with your friends. There are 3 of these cafés in the city, each one with a slightly different personality, but all united by beautiful parks right across the street." - Strohl

I really wanted to love this place. I've been here several times and liked its location and friendly service. But I made a huge mistake ordering the lox scramble today. I should have asked them not to put any onions in it. That dish was terrible, and I'm not a particularly picky eater. A good half of a large onion mixed with eggs 🤢... I couldn’t smell or taste anything but onion. The tater tots that came with it were overfried and hard.

Monday morning, 11:30 am, wandered in and started studying the large menu board. I asked if I could still get breakfast and when I was told "there's breakfast all day!" I was soooo excited. Some places are really finicky about that. There were a couple of specials in addition to the big board on the wall, so after looking at every.single.thing, I chose the Totaquiles. Black beans normally come with it but I opted out of those. The tots were great and the sauce that came on them was even greater LOL. A perfectly fried egg, where the yolk was just runny enough to mix perfectly with the rest of the flavors of the sauce and crema. Also, got a cubano coffee which I had never had and includes sweetened condensed milk, cinnamon, and my choice of milk (I chose oat). It was as big as my head. And it was delicious. The space is really light and bright and there are tables outside as well. It's on a cool tri-corner so lots to watch outside their big windows. Plus the staff is super friendly and helpful. Can't wait to go back and work my way through the giant menu!

Get the Totaquilles and fresh squeezed orange juice. They are fresh and amazing. There’s a little spice to the totaquilles but nothing crazy. So good!!! The mocha was pretty good too.

This is a part of town I do not frequent. I had a family member in town that happened to be staying in the area. It is a busy cafe so I was sad not to be able to try my original choice of pizza Margarita. I switched to the cheeseburger and that took a long time. And by long I mean everyone at the table was done eating and I still had not gotten my foot. I got up to get a second beer and still nothing. Once I got it, wow it was absolutely delicious.

Negatively treated, by both front and back of house. 8:07am. Came in, no rush, no other inside customers, and was politely treated as I ordered two breakfast sandwich equivalents. My partner had her service animal, and we went outside to walk the dog. While they did their business outside I returned at 8:12. There was a group of four at the register, the only other customers inside at the moment, so i sat at an empty table in the nearly empty cafe. When the four left, the server at register smiled and said "Hi." The smile dropped and she asked "can I help you?" I said "yeah, I'm waiting for my order: two breakfast sandwiches under [my name]" She walked to the kitchen and spoke to the chef who was standing by the entry to the kitchen. I felt awkward, like my clean black coveralls flagged homeless person to them and therefore was being treated poorly. No admission that I'd spoken with her five minutes prior. When the food came out, I brought it and my partner to the airport. After dropping them off at 8:40am, I began to snack. The sandwich had a strange consistency, like I'd accidentally bitten the wrapper. I looked closely, and there was paper in the sandwich, possibly from the tomatoes. Like it had been prepped and stored and not completely unwrapped. Overall a poor experience, one that I won't attempt to reproduce anytime soon

Such a delicious breakfast! My friend and I were staying in the Mission for a week long work trip, and walked down to get breakfast sandwiches and coffee. I had a smoothie and the egg breakfast sandwich, plus a vegan lemon poppyseed donut. It was all so good! I wanted to eat there twice in one week, so suffice to say I’ll be back next time I’m in town.

I loved their Vietnamese salad! Fresh, tasty full of healthiness. I had a Thai iced tea to wash it all down. Great location and a mellow vibe. Good service. I'll be back! Came back and am equally impressed. Today I had a huge chunk of time to kill so I came here. I ordered the lox and bagel with a pear smoothie. The presentation of the lox and bagel was on point! Look at the pictures 👁 The lox is fresh and the fixings are there. I love that I can construct my own. The smoothie is yummy, sweet but not too sweet. Love it here. May 1st, 2018 This time I had the breakfast tacos! The tacos came with tater tots which were so crispy and flavorful. Everything is fresh here. I had good, strong coffee to top off the breakfast. I am a fan!

Not sure if local palette asks for it but both my tuna melt and fries were rather bland and could have used some salt or seasoning. Customer service was excellent and my coffee was good. They also have a small selection of pastries, ice cream, and a kids menu.
