Prubechu - San Francisco (CA)

5 /5 Matt Kobulnick: Highly highly highly recommend the tasting menu. It’s a type of cuisine you don’t often get a chance to try. You might as well get to experience the full range of it. And man did it deliver. Absolutely loved it and will be back

5 /5 Zach Mesa: Easily one of the most satisfying meals Ive ever had. As someone who grew up in Guam, this restaurant captures the nostalgia that youd expect from a Guamanian restaurant with a surprisingly elevated twist. I had lunch there on a Wednesday and the staff was attentive but relaxed, which was so fitting for how things work in Guam. Nobody is in a hurry and it gave me a chance to just relax and enjoy the cozy outdoor patio. I had the corn soup, koko wings, beef tinaktak, chicken kelaguen, red rice, and the banana donuts with fresh whipped cream. Yes, I ordered all of that, and yes, it was just me. Mind your business. Every dish held a wonderful surprise twist that elevated it beyond my expectations. The corn soup was actually served chilled, which is SUPER non-traditional. Even in Guams humid heat, we eat corn soup piping hot in a crunchy, edible cup. This corn soup was refreshing and exciting with fresh corn and basil and a super crunchy topping that brought an insane texture juxtaposition. The wings were crunchy and super juicy. The tinaktak was served over house made noodles, which is also not traditional, but it was delicious. The banana donuts had a crispy exterior with a gooey center and were served with fresh whipped cream. Honestly Im still reeling from this meal. This is a MUST-TRY if youre in San Francisco.

5 /5 Lisa: Phenomenal food, plenty of options for meat eaters and vegans alike. The staff are the absolute sweetest folks and I love to hear “hafa adai” when I come in! Their food is a little on the fancier side and not exactly fiesta style so be prepared for smaller portions but the flavors are fantastic. I love the bereghenas, sweet potatoes, iceberg salad and tamale. Friends love the kelaguen and I haven’t had a single complaint when I have brought people here for dinner. Sometimes they have live music and events as well.

5 /5 Francesca: Prubechu has a really great vibe and the staff was super friendly and welcoming. The chicken wings and coconut braised cassava were my favorites and the shrimp and grits where also delicious.
