We have eaten here a dozen times and each time it just gets that little bit worse.
Good - The staff are friendly. It is great you can bring your dog, heads up for people that they now have a dog policy where only 5 dogs can be on the patio at one time (I guess there have been a few incidents).
Bad - The food has definitely dropped in standard - My friend's carnitas was dry and the tinga dish (chicken) had 2 bony chunks in it for which I am glad I avoided biting down on (I did inform staff on the bones and they just shrugged). The guacamole used to be made at the table, but now comes out of the kitchen in the same mortar but contained in a plastic shallow dish. Also during happy hour they do not allow you to take advantage of the deals if you are sitting out on the patio which I thought was strange. Generally I feel the restaurant has downgraded all elements of dining here. Go to Dalida instead, it is a far better experience at the Presidio.

First of all this restaurant is not gonna go out of business because of this review. They have plenty of tourist to continue their practice.
I come from Southern California where Mexican restaurants are everywhere and I must say that this restaurant does not stand up to your typical Mexican restaurant that I’m accustomed.
I ordered the Carne Asada, and although the meat was exceptionally exquisite; soft, juicy, and had great taste, the rest of the plate was disappointing. I added my fist for comparison and they only give you a rice and bean portion enough for like a small taco tortilla. Very mediocre. I expected a lot more quantity for a $.10 rice and beans it costs to make per plate.
The best thing about this place was the atmosphere and the decor. I disagree with customers paying for healthcare and other associated fees that the business decided to attach to the bill. Whatever happened to the days that the price of the meal included all the overhead? I can understand states like Hawaii where they mandate extra fees for kitchen staff or other Benefits to employees, but there’s no need for that here in San Francisco.

Great spot at tunnel tops… good atmosphere, good to grab a drink and get some good Mexican food. I enjoyed the mole, my partner had the Tinga but would say it was ok nothing exceptional about it.
Looked like that had a good happy hour so might try it out the next time for some of cocktails.

Overpriced and below average food. We had a party of 6 and most of the dishes were over cooked and the presentations were low quantity.

I was visiting from Texas and I am originally from Chicago. The dishes were all presented in an amazing showmanship. The food was very tasty. I came here to see the Golden Gate Bridge which is near by .
I recently had dinner here with 2 others. We showed up shortly before close (due to a road trip) but were warmly welcomed. There was no mention of the closing time, which shows how great the service here is. We were quickly seated and our food came out quickly. It smelled and tasted delicious, some of the best Mexican I have ever had. The service was also great with a young and very well trained waiter. I cannot recommend this place enough. A nice casual atmosphere with world class food. A true gem.

I went there for brunch. The food was good, but very, very, very overpriced, especially when you combine it with the service being very subpar. I constantly had to get the waiter’s attention and it wasn’t busy. He just never made an attempt to check in. I had an empty coffee cup for a long time and it kind of ruined the brunch. That combined with a high price made this place not really worth it. I paid $39 for two tiny cups of coffee, two eggs, a pile of tortilla chips, some green salsa and some chorizo sprinkled on. It was good but not $39 good especially with the poor service.

Made a reservation and although it was made a day prior the reservation was canceled when I had walked up to the restaurant. The food here is not worth the prices of the dishes, nor is it worth the poor customer service. The food quality is honestly very poor, and the flavoring did not appetize any of the people I dined with. Food from the Mission food is more authentic, and better tasting!
Skip this scam or a restaurant! Not worth it! Save your money
