Sit down Mexican food
See All Lists
1. SanJalisco
This is the best sit-down Mexican restaurant I've found in the city, and I didn't even try the chilaquiles or caldos (next time).
Chips are thick, nicely salted, and pretty good. I like the salsa quite a bit although it was pretty acidic. Slightly…More »
2. Tres Hermanas
What a surprise - this is the great sit-down Mexican restaurant I've been looking for (and have not found, at all, in SF - suggestions?). In my opinion, it's authentic tex-mex - not authentic mexican, but a different style full of tastiness, enhanced…More »
3. La Oaxaqueña
San Francisco, CA 94110
(415) 621-5446
I was prepared to be disappointed. How could this place live up to all of the 5 star expectations? Well, miraculously it did, even though the food came out kinda slow and there seemed to be some '80s action movie on at very high volume. Everything we…More »

Category:
Mexican
Neighbourhood: Western Addition/NOPA
I'm not an expert on New Mexican cuisine, but I liked some of the items we tried quite a bit. As countless others have noted, it gets very crowded and seems pretty family-friendly - or, noisy. You order at the counter and the food can be brought out…More »
5. Don Ramon's Mexican Restaurant
This place is a bit ridiculous - Parmesan cheese? Ground beef? I'm sure there are a host of other insults, but I still enjoyed the food, so who am I to say. Also, the service was outstanding. Our chips and salsa were continuously refilled (the chips…More »
6. Chava's Restaurant
I enjoyed going to a sit down, non-taqueria place in the mission for a change (although I adore taquerias as well, of course) to have a different style of food. Chips and salsa were fairly unexceptional, although the complimentary guacamole was a…More »
7. Chilango
I'd been meaning to come here for a while but if we're in the area we always get El Castillito up the street. Finally we wanted to have a sit down Mexican meal so we gave Chilango a shot. In the future, we'll stick to El Castillito.
We ordered the 1/2…More »
8. Tropisueño
The chips were fresh and tasty, with decent salsa, and the plantains were pretty good (nicely fried and sweet) but everything went a bit downhill from there. The pozole was quite underwhelming (except in the salt department - there, overwhelming). It…More »
9. Frontera Grill
I loved the food, but even so I found the place a bit too expensive. Maybe it's being used to CA, but guacamole shouldn't be $9.50. I mean, it was good, but not exceptional or anything. But other than the price, I only had minor quibbles with the…More »

SF Sandwiches (27)Always a good option, but so hard to get them just right... |
Bay Area BBQ (12)Over the years I've come to the conclusion I should focus my BBQ efforts in the East Bay. But then there will be some new place in SF, or I'll be really lazy, or I'll forget, and I'll eat it in SF again. But while SF has many wonderful food groups, BBQ just generally isn't one of them. |
