Nopalito

Haven't found a thing I dont like. My favorite dishes are all on the left side of the menu. The horchata is really good. I always get that to go as a nice ending to my meal when craving sweet.

Nopa's renowned attention to ingredients, applied to the Mexican pastiche at a refreshlingly low pricepoint. The Trout / Trucha is dope.

Go for the brunch staple Chilaquiles or the Huevos de Caja for a tortilla-based take on eggs benedict . The Inner Sunset location also boasts a sunny back patio and an expanded menu of tortas . Read more

The same stellar Mezcal or Tequila Bloody Marias as the flagship around the corner, but with a uniquely Mexican breakfast flair. Go for the brunch staple Chilaquiles or the Huevos de Caja. Read more

Elevated Mexican in a humble setting. No reservations — save for booking the entire parklet outside. Get the chicken mole , any taco , and the vegetable dishes . The guacamole is also very very good

A great place for some great Mexican food that they've created for a new experience. The menu ranges from authentic to new recipes. I recommend the Carnitas . Also cookies and Ice Cream bars are great

Authentic Mexican Food . Wine , Beer and Mexican Agua Frescas . Queso Fundido , Huaraches, Arab Tacos and Fish Tacos ???????????????? with My Bestie Sarah and my daughter and Bf

The carnitas are rightly a best-seller. The pork is marinated in beer , orange , bay leaf and cinnamon , and slowly braised in pork fat , creating chunks of well-browned meat Read more

The chorizo sandwich puts a spin on a diner classic. The spice list for the sandwich includes everything from pinquito picanta to pink salt to adobo . Read more

This place was amazing. The food was delicious, service was fantastic, and I can't wait to go back. Nice gluten free options

Give me one Nopalito tamale prepared with house-made masa, green chiles and stewed pork for $4, and keep the two or three you might get for the same price at other places. Read more

Totopos con Chile , an appetizer that reads as soggy Doritos with crema , includes fresh corn chips tossed in a fiery housemade salsa de arbol. Get an extra side of the cooling crema . Read more

From the addictive totopos con chile to the comforting tortilla soup to the killer carnitas , there's something for everyone here. Read more

Great food, friendly staff . The corn chips are incredible, stay crunchy even when dripping in sauce and sour cream . YUM

Yum yummy yum mexican food . Flawless execution, great cocktails from their mezcal bar . Greg's favorite carnitas in the city . Be prepared to WAIT (no reservations )

The frijoles puercos makes for a super satisfying lunch

The tacos de pescado and the ceviche are both excellent!!! Flavorful and spicy . The ceviche is also quite refreshing.

Everything on the menu is amazing and it changes often. Perfect amount of spicy . Delicious. One of the best spots in the city for Mexican food .

Delicious, fancy Mexican food . This place always seems to have a long wait , and the bar area is virtually non-existent. So make reservation ahead of time, unless you want to hang in the parking lot .

Queso flameado, quesadilla con chicharrón and carnitas (so good!).

Margaritas are strong and tasty like mamacitas. Shared lots of small plates all were great! Gets very busy and no reservations . Call before 6:30, after it gets too busy so they don't answer the phone.

SO good. Call ahead to get on the waiting list before you arrive. The totopos(?) were yummy (and spicy !). I also likes the empanada and taquitos !

The best tasting carnitas in the city . I'd give their quesadilla roja a must try along with their roja chips .

Carnitas . Order generously if on the left side of the page, portions are small and ingredients mostly local. Unbeatable freshness/simplicity. Drink some Mexican coffee , if you're into tequila .

Really good Mexican food with fine ingredients. The Bloody Maria everyone is raving about was a good hit. The popisicles were a cute touch. Very good service .

Tamal De Amarillo Con Calabaza -- gluten-free, vegetarian and so so delicious. Pair with one of the salads for a great meal.

High-quality food with good spices and flavors. The entrees are large and can be split. The place gets busy so call ahead to get on the wait list.

The chicken tinga tacos + almond horchata are a delectable duo ???? taste buds were delighted ????

The queso fresco , bread & tortillas are made in-house, & sitting at the bar is a pleasure if you're a cocktail fan. Their paloma -- a Mexican tequila drink - is the tastiest we've found. Read more

The chips , more like nachos , are absolutely delicious

Carnitas is all you need to know (rest is delicious too)

Great vegetarian options but also great for your meat eating friends. Also fairly good beer selection .

The mole I had was incredible. One of the most delicious Mexican meals I had

Try the Naranjas Con Chili , Limon Y Queso - This orange salad is #refreshing, with cara cara, blood #orange , #grapefruit , pickled red onions , chilis, lime and queso fresco .

SF is short on dine-in Mexican restaurants where you get something that fits the city ethos, complimented by a well-done margarita . Since nailing the latter, Nopalito fits the bill. [Eater 38 Member] Read more

Holy hell this place is incredible. Beet salad , taquitos , ceviche (with calamari ), and carne asada are all ridiculous. Wow. Pretty much speechless.

Sustainable, organic and healthy Mexican food . And of course there are many Taquerias in the Mission District where you cannot go wrong when searching for authentic Mexican Cuisine

The Paloma's go down way too easy ???????? Panuchos are more than worth trying if you've never had one.

The caldo tlalpeño doesn't have chicken . It's only a bland chicken broth with a few vegetables . Birria and carnitas are great. Almost as good as the authentic ones.

Great California twist on Mexican food . The stone fruit salad with spiced peanuts was especially great!

Carnitas + margaritas are fabulous, fresh and tasty. Recommend starting with the Totopos.

Since they don't take reservations , call to be placed on the waitlist to make the wait less painful :) the carnitas and the lamb stew dish are amazing :)

This place is outside of the city , so book . The tortilla chips dish was spicy & moreish. However, I disliked the vegetarian quesadilla . It was super bland & light on filling. They need to add mole .

Just get the carnitas and feel happy about your choice. Really delicious and quite nice if you eat a lot!

Cool Mexican place in Broderick. Make sure to get a reservation , or be ready to wait to be seated

Avoid the tables under the heat lamps - gets way too hot. The taquitos are a good starter. The pork belly quesadilla and the mole are a must! Drink the Mezcal Paloma.

Lots of good choices, great flavor and good service ! Enjoyed everything we tried, recommend sharing plates.

The drinks pack a punch! Don’t miss the Totopos con Chile , the Sweet Potato Tamal , or the Mole con Pollo .

The gordita and the ceviche were fabulous. Definitely get some smaller plates to share.

Quesadilla and carnitas are both some of the best
