Reviews for Tommy's Mexican Restaurant in San Francisco, CA
Really good service. Good Mexican food. The best selection of tequilas. The best selection of margaritas. The best margarita... recipe: tequila, lime juice, agave syrup, that?s it. Clean bathrooms. This must-stop destination did not disappoint. Read more
Great food, Amazing Margaritas and one of, if not, the best quality tequila selections of any bar. Julio has a wealth of... knowledge and it was incredible not only to chat about tequila but also learn a lot. Read more
Above and beyond the best margaritas in THE WORLD!!! We discovered several renown upscale eateries in Europe list ?Tommy?s... Margarita? on their specialty cocktail list due to it?s unique mix. Always 100% agave, always a great mix of internationalpatrons at the bar savoring the drink in animated conversations with new found friends. My go to when guests come to visit orjust a place to feel comfortable and at home. Read more

In the crowded restaurant scene in San Francisco, finding Tommy's Mexican Joint is a real jewel! So happy it was recommended to... us by a friend. Family owned and operated for more than 50 years! Tells you it must be good, right? And, it is! Great food,and big tequila assortment of drinks for those so inclined. You can find this place in the Richmond district. Highly recommend! Read more
The salsa was extremely salty but I didn?t say anything. I ordered the Poc Chuc, a pork dish, and it was so salty that I had to... send it back. The young waitress was not very nice about it but the older woman (her mom?) asked me what else I would like. Itold her that I wanted the same thing, but not so much salt this time. She took it away . I did not mention the salty salsa?Ijust let it ride and never touched it again. While I was waiting for the food, I asked three men sitting across from me if theirsalsa was also salty. One admitted that the first batch they had was really salty, but the refill was not. They told me to trytheir Margaritas, which they are famous for, so I ordered one (it never came!). A few minutes later the young woman brought meback the same plate of Poc Chuc that I rejected! I knew it had been only a few minutes since the older lady took it away?notenough time to make me a new one, plus I could plainly see the side that I had eaten from, so I knew that was my first plate.She took it from me and consulted with the older woman, who set her straight. By the way, the young woman was very unfriendly tome?borderline rude. I could sense it. However, the older woman made up for it?she was extremely sweet and friendly towardsme. Finally, my second plate came and it was much, much better, but definitely not worth $18.95. Nothing great or special I?msorry to say. How they rated it one of the Top 10 is ludicrous?there are better Taqueria?s in San Francisco?s Mission District.A small portion of rice and black beans, and an average amount of pork. I had seen this restaurant on the Travel Channel andthey said it was one of the Top 10 Mexican restaurants in the United States! I found that crazy, as I had grown up in theRichmond District of San Francisco and had walked or driven past it a million times, but never ate there. I think because thename?Tommy?s Mexican Restaurant never hit me as being a legitimate Mexican Restaurant (it?s actually Yu Read more
Tommy?s Mexican Restaurant, the namesake of the modern classic Tommy?s Margarita cocktail, still makes some of the best drinks... in San Francisco. The cozy, thoroughly decorated Richmond area establishment is full of rustic charm. The restaurant offers oneof the best, most curated Tequila selections anywhere in the US. The service is also excellent, with knowledgeable bartenderswell equipped to recommend a Tequila to both an agave neophyte or a seasoned aficionado. The Margarita is one of the mostpopular cocktails in the world, and few bar programs approach the cocktail with the same degree of expertise and attention todetail as Tommy?s. The Margarita I had with Tapatio Blanco was one of the best margaritas I have ever had in my life. Also,they?ve got really good free tortilla chips. Read more
Been going there for years. The specials are always really special. Delicious and authentic. I?m a margarita lady and am very... picky. They make the best margarita hands down. I?ve got stories about those margaritas! A great family restaurant, they aregracious and proud at what they serve. I miss them so much since I?ve moved to Texas, because this Tex Mex isn?t working for me. Read more
