Tucked away in Lower Haight, Paula’s Cafe offers a delightful blend of Mexican comfort food and cozy, neighborhood vibes. The star of the menu is undoubtedly the Birria Chilaquiles—a perfect harmony of crispy tortilla chips drenched in savory, slow-cooked birria sauce, topped with tender beef, runny eggs, creamy avocado, and tangy pickled onions. It’s a flavor-packed dish that satisfies both hearty appetites and a love for bold, authentic Mexican tastes. Pair it with their Horchata Latte, which adds a sweet, cinnamon-infused kick to your morning.
The cafe’s warm and inviting atmosphere, complete with cushy booths and friendly service, makes it feel like a second home. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a regular, Paula’s always serves up more than just great food—it offers a welcoming experience that keeps you coming back for more. For those craving comfort food with a dash of Mexican flair, Paula’s Cafe is a must-try spot in the city.
