Best mexican food in the city period
My favorite Mexican joint in a city overflowing with delicious MX food. I loved the Shrimp and Snapper Ceviche Tostadas, the Bohemian Beer Battered Fish Tacos, the Chilaquiles “Verdes,” and the Tamales Plate (I got one Maurilia Pork Tamale and one Butternut Squash and Cheese Tamale). Later I tried the Tamales Plate with one Chicken Mole Tamale and one Tamale Brazo de Reina (with chard pumpkinseed pesto, eggs, and salsa habanero). These were also good, but the first two...read full review
I stopped by Primavera at the Embarcadero Ferry Building Farmers Market (weekend 4/25 menu) and tried the chilaquiles, beef flautas, and pork tamales.
It’s honestly not an exaggeration to say these were the best chilaquiles I’ve ever had and I grew up in LA. The salsa had so many layers of flavor, and the texture hit that perfect balance of crispy and slightly softened. Easily a 10/10.

Primavera is a popular spot at the Ferry Building farmers market, well known for its delicious chilaquiles served on Saturdays. The dish features fluffy eggs, crispy chips, and rich beans, which create a perfect combination. Customers can choose from various salsa options to customize their meal. The cost is $15.50 per plate, and many find it worth the price. To avoid long lines, it is best to arrive early, as the line tends to move quickly. The restaurant also offers a purple hibiscus drink that some find too sweet, but it can be diluted with water for better taste. Many customers enjoy eating their food at the stand to get the full experience.
Beyond the chilaquiles, the restaurant offers a variety of Mexican dishes. Popular items include the Tamales Plate, the beef flautas, and the Niman Ranch Beef Brisket Tacos Quesabirria. Portions are generous, but the service is competent and efficient. Primavera is a must-visit for anyone craving tasty Mexican food in San Francisco.
