50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Sausalito

“Very good..................“

“Visiting from Adelaide Australia best Mexican we have had. Great service.“

“Had just arrived in San Francisco, and hit the road heading to Sonoma for a wedding this weekend. Looking for a place to have lunch and we found Avatars on line. So, we decided to try it, and we are glad we did. Our meals were cooked fresh to order and they were delicious! Friendly staff and a place we will fondly remember and look forward to trying again on our next trip out here!!“

“Excellent place to try! Great staff and great food“

“The legendary San Francisco institution featured by Anthony Bourdain, Guy Fieri, and more does not disappoint people!! The carne asada burrito (get it el dorado style) is a must: no rice, just juicy meat, beans, salsa, and cheese, with a crispy, golden tortilla. The line moves fast, so don’t bother phoning in an order bc it won’t really save you that much time. Cash only but I saw they had some sort of card reader now.“

“Such a great spot! Went for our anniversary and it was an incredible experience. Our favorite dishes were probably the sweet corn and ham flan with caviar, and the rockfish taco especially with the habanero sauce. Beautiful presentation and service. So many unique flavors and combinations.“

“Great tasty stop at the end of the day. Love the friendly staff“

“Visiting San Francisco all the way from Texas and we 100% recommend this family friendly restaurant. The food was authentic and delicious. We left no crumbs. The customer service was also amazing. Muchas gracias por todo! Volveremos muy pronto!“

“We ate here during Fleet Week this year (2024) and thoroughly enjoyed the food and received great service. We sat outside because it was quite loud inside (minus 1 star). The interior is beautifully decorated and very colorful with a center piece bar. The entire menu is gluten free. Our meals were very tasty and satisfying. I had fish tacos which is not usually an option for GF eaters. They seemed to have a gluten free buttermilk crust - delicious with great texture. Sangria and horchata were both delicious too. Wanted to return the next night but they are close on Sundays. Would definitely eat here again.“

“This place has the best Mexican food we’ve had. We were visiting San Francisco from DC and wanted some authentic Mexican food. Once we saw all of the rave reviews for this place, we decided we had to go and our experience 100% lived up to the reviews.

When we arrived and were taking a little while to absorb the menu, the very kind man at the counter offered to let us try all of their sauces so that he could make a recommendation for us. All of the sauces were delicious, but we each gave our favorites and he recommended that we each do a mix and match enchiladas plate. They were phenomenal.

I want to emphasize that these are genuinely kind and warm people. On top of offering to have us try their sauces without asking, when we sat down they brought us a basket of chips and three salsas on the house. We felt taken care of in a way that stands out compared to other restaurants.

If we lived in San Francisco, we would be regulars here. Definitely coming back any time we visit in the future! 10/10 would recommend, no notes.“

“Great food and the best margaritas.“

“I recommend the “Tinga” tacos or sopes 👍🏼“

“Taqueria Cancun is Mission burrito territory, no apologies, no shortcuts. You walk in, order, and they hand you something heavy enough to double as a weapon. One bite and you know you’re in the right place—juicy meat, beans and rice glued together with just enough grease, salsa hitting you like a squeeze of lime to the jaw.

The chips aren’t some bagged afterthought—they’re nixtamal corn, fried hard, shattering with every bite. The salsa’s bright and mean, the kind that wakes up your tongue and makes you dive back in before you’ve even swallowed.

It’s the kind of food that doesn’t care who you are or where you came from—just that you’re hungry and you’re smart enough to eat it while it’s hot.“

“best tacos 🌮🇮🇹🐍🦅 in San Francisco 🚩🏟📍49ers 🏈 maybe 🤷 😂24th street 💘“

“Best Fajitas!! This has been our spot for 10 years and we love their food. Location is Oakland Park, FL.“

“I love it when a first try of something new to me is a sensational first impression as well! friendly staff and great food! I'll be back for sure!“

“I always have an amazing experience in the wheels on this so nice and friendly. This is my favorite Mexican place. I love how they greet you with a warm welcome and they’re always ready to place you in a seat.“

“I love otra and it’s a great option for gluten free folks! The waitress was knowledgeable about celiac, cross contamination, and which dishes to avoid. Most of the menu is already gf, but some dishes are thickened with flour (queso, enchiladas) and there is no dedicated fryer (so the chips are not gf). Anything that comes with chips can be subbed for unfried corn tortillas.“

“very yummy halal mexican food, had the fajita, nachos, quesabirria, chicken and birria tacos.
was absolutely delicious, so happy to be able to have delicious food available as halal !! huge shoutout to the restaurant for that. great if you love cheesy things like the family i was with!!

Dietary restrictions: serves all halal meat“

“All of their food is delicious🔥🤤😋“

“We lucked out and grabbed the last two breakfast burritos of the morning — and they were seriously delicious. Super flavorful, satisfying, and made with care. The owner was incredibly nice, which made the experience even better.

Small tip: it’d be awesome if they added a tater tot option inside the burritos. But overall, this place is a gem. Get there early — they go quick!“

“Likely the best value in the FiDi for a quick breakfast. I got the Huevos Rancheros ($8.95) add Bacon (+$3). I ordered it through Toast and picked it up. My coffee was made fresh when I got there so it would still be HOT!

The Huevos were delicious! Two eggs, both red and green salsa (one on each), black beans, and a bit of cheese. It was the perfect amount and was delicious. A hint of spice from the salsas, the eggs were well seasoned and the tortillas still crispy.

I'll be swinging by here more often than my usual bagel place in the future!“

“Great food, good service, and a wonderful overall experience.“

“Incredibly delicious food, great vibe, friendly staff.“

“Delicious. The torta was divine and I loved the salsa bar especially since they had the taqueria pickled carrots and jalapeños as an option at the salsa bar! 10/10 would recommend. If I lived in San Fran, this would be my go-to spot. Service was great. Thank you so much!“

“This place is fantastic!! I’ve ate a million burritos in the Mission, tried damn near every spot… but man that carne asada burrito I had last week might take the crown… that first bite I think I made an audible moan, ohhh lawddd 😤🤣“

“Food was Delicious. Staff was very friendly. The restaurant was very clean. Food was all fresh. I absolutely recommend them! We will be back.“

“Free mixed corn and flour chips. Beautifully stuffed and wrapped mission burrito. Never has such a perfect cylindrical little burrito baby. Had the special with carnitas and chicharones and two carne asada tacos and a chicken quesadilla. Everything was very good and the chicken was seasoned very well too which isnt the standard experience.“

“Good atmosphere Great food and service“

“Been going there since the 70’s We loved their fresh made tortillas and masa for tamales. I did notice today the tortillas weren’t the same. I pray the masa hasn’t changed when we make our Xmas tamales. For the past 27 years I drive from Antioch to San Francisco for our masa.🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️“

“Great clean place, the people were very friendly and the food was amazing.“

“Great value and the food is exceptional! Small dining area and no frills, but who cares! I had the super taco and it was outstanding! I only wish I could have had a margarita!“

“An incredible gem of the city. It doesn’t matter what you pick from the menu, everything is thoughtfully prepared and delicious. The black bean and cheese pupusas are a favorite. It is absurd that this place doesn’t have closer to 5/5 star rating. An amazing place.“

“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.“

“Great comfort food and staff is exceptional“

“Very friendly staff and great service! It’s honestly impressive watching the crew work so efficiently, all the way from the register to the prep line.

Had a chicken Burrito Super. Great, hearty burrito with good flavor and solid portion size. The whole menu looks awesome and we were almost sad that we weren’t sticking around town to try the other items. Definitely check is out for some tasty Mexican eats.“

“Incredible food & wonderful staff!“

“best tacos 🌮🇮🇹🐍🦅 in San Francisco 🚩🏟📍49ers 🏈 maybe 🤷 😂24th street 💘“

“This is a taqueria and the name says it all. It’s counter service and simple but the food is fresh and seriously delicious. It’s my favorite in the city next La Taqueria. Staff is awesome. It’s nothing fancy but it is always makes me happy. I only give it 4 stars for service and atmosphere because it’s nothing fancy or earth shattering. But what it does it does incredibly well. It’s also one of the few places of its kind I like to sit and people watch rather than just taking my food to go despite living really close by.“

“Best Mexican restaurant I’ve been to so far in the US.“

“Went here in passing during happy hour. When I was looking at the sign to see what the happy hour was, Alex took it upon himself to invite me in, instantly making me feel welcomed. He not omly walked me through what the happy hour consisted of, but he also gave his opinion on what his favorite is and was extremely nice. He also takes time, effort and hard work to make sure customers are happy and they feel safe. Alex remembers face and names. The food was great, being that I got one carnitas taco, it was actually pretty great for what it cost (2.50 for happy hour rate). The margarita was 6$ and was definetly worth the price, tasted good but definetly had the right ammount of liquor in it. Nothing about here was dissapointing or offputting. Will be coming back for the Mon-Sun 10am-2pm deals though.“

“Newest restaurant open in Union Square. Incredible food. They are so kind and give back to the city.“

“This place deserves more patrons. I got a steak quesadilla, and it was perfect. The portions were great, and I was able to have the other half of my meal for dinner the following day. I can’t wait to return to Tio Chilo’s and try the crab enchiladas.“

“Muy acogedor el lugar, perfecto para un almuerzo en familia.“

“food is delicious staff very polite“

“I work across the street from this tiny taqueria. I get lunch here every week multiple times a week. I eat burritos so often at so many different spots around the city BUT the regular burrito, al pastor, spicy pico, refried beans from Marcelas is the best I've had. You know it's good when the construction team is in there every day during lunch. The red and green salsas are some of the best i've had in the city as well.

If you care about burritos, you like hole-in-the-wall spots that haven't been doxxed by tiktok in a neighborhood that Fox news is terrified of bc they're cowards, you need this burrito.“

“Great food. Really authentic!“

“I tried cali steak zapato and I love it. At first I doubted I will like it but I think this is one of the best rice less burrito in town. They have large serving portion and the price is reasonable. I think the place is popular to employees working nearby. For us, this is a very cool place to get food after a drink. The staff are accommodating and friendly. The vibe of the place is retro and this kind of restaurant really gives you good vibes. I will try eating here again. :)“

“My new favorite place. The food the service and the drinks ALL in point.“
