Pica Pica is the best restaurant in San Francisco offering unique Venezuelan food, entirely gluten free! The Cachapa w/ Blackened Beef Asado is a huge delicious portion and the Beef Empanadas are addicting!

Ordered the vegan arepa and couldnt believe how little filling it had - 1 two inch piece of plaintain, an eighth of an avocado (which was brown) and a ton of shredded lettuce. Totally not worth the money. The yuca fries were delicious though. Will not be ordered from here again.

Perfect for Gluten Free food. The cachapas are great and the coconut lime juice is out of this world good. Totally worth it. Everything from Pica Pica is flavorful and delicious. One of my favorite places to eat in the mission.

The phone line seemed to be down, called about 15x regarding some things about the order. Would be a lot easier if they had customized notes!! I love this place but it's not the best to order on here as it sits rn. Food is great tho! The cachapas are so good!! Lots of meat!! The ceviche has a kick to it too which is awesome!! Would NOT recommend the empanadas tho, super deep fried, like soaking in grease and not much meat inside.

Yuca fries always hit the spot. Perfectly crispy and crunchy on the outside...moist on inside. Comes with spicy avocado dip but I highly recommend it with the aioli. Yum!
Arepa also toasted just right and tender, well-seasoned grilled chicken inside. Wish there is option to not include cotija cheese--some of us have dietary restrictions. So I have to share the half I can't eat with my partner which isn't the end of the world. I would've devoured the whole thing myself otherwise. White arepa with chicken also delicious with the aioli.
I have ordered the empanadas several times now and always have high hopes for them. Not sure what I expect to be different each time. They're good but maybe it's just that the yuca fries and white arepa outshine them. Doesn't have the same crunch and crispness in the shell that I look forward to with empanadas. A good compliment to your meal...to sort of round it out but would probably opt for an extra order of yuca fries next time instead.
