    The fancy dinner set up is completely different from the tech-crowd-friendly lunch setup. Don't miss out on the orange sauce with your chips. It's awesome. Some good tacos for lunch.

    Very unique place with really bomb Mexican food. Free chips and 3 salsas (orange one is amazing) are the tastiest. Chile Verde was fantastic and actually very filling.

    Free chips are a great appetizer. Food is awesome, but be ready for really big dishes, most probably one main would be enough for a dinner. Great margaritas.

    If you're vegetarian, order the tofu dish that's not on the menu (your waiter will know what you're talking about)—It's amazing! I substituted veggies for the rice and asked for no potatoes—Delicious!

    Best lunch burrito downtown! Their beans and rice are vegan and you can get tofu or veggies. Plus a great salsa bar.

    Looks fancier than it is (in a good way), but one of the best food options around the malls. Fresh chips and top notch salsa selection. Try the al pastor taco with pineapple.

    Very lively with really good Mexican food. Complimentary salsas are the best. Pazole Vegetariano was delicious and very much a comfort food. Also, less expensive than any other dinning rest. in FiDi.

    The nachos and house margaritas are amazing. We showed up during happy hour so the full menu wasn’t available, but I’ll definitely be back !

    happy hour deals are great! delicious $5 pint-sized house margaritas and cheap tacos. only goes from 4-6PM. usually plenty of room to sit outside but it can be chilly so bring a light jacket.

    Their fried plantain appetizer is amazing! The environment is nice, family friendly, friendly staff, their salsa with chips is also amazing! My husband and I really liked the chile de arbol salsa.

    Tropisueño Tortas!!!! All of the meats that they make, on a sandwich with guac, what more can you ask for?!

    They do fast casual for lunch and turn into a sit down restaurant for dinner. All food is fantastic! The carne torta was an excellent lunch. Don't forget your margarita!

    This is the perfect place for happy hour! With great prices on margaritas and complimentary chips and dip - it's one of the best places to meet after work or a long day.

    The food is so tasty, I wouldn't believe it! Great options for vegetarians, my choice is veggie cesadiliya. They offer some guacamole with it - take it, it's worth it! And black beans as a side :)

    The ceviche "try all three" plate might not be enough for one person, and definitely not enough to share - the plate is the same size as the table salsa platter.

    Hands down, the best tortilla chips in SF! Perfect amount of oil, salt and crunchiness.

    Salsa trio is out of this world - especially the spicy habanero. If you’re a fan of 🐷, I recommend the Huaraches "Tres Cochinitas". Enjoy!

    Tacos are great. Salads are huge with jicama. Salsas and chips are the best, thin and crispy.

    Looks high end but it's a very casual place. Try the margaritas and fried plantain appetizer. Skip the guacamole. Decent chips and salsa.

    Great spot for big groups. Came here with the girls before Purim party - delicious guacamole. Try hard not to fill up on chips before!

    Yes, the margaritas are that good. They use fresh ingredients not mixers. And two, the Mexican food is more on the authentic side, so don't go looking for bell grande bs. Get the pork chops.

    Chips are served with 3 kinds of salsa, all are tasty. I had the eponymous dinner entree; all of us in the group cleaned our plates. Beer was cold, service was fast. Place was a little noisy.

    Really good Mexican food very decent pricing! Per the waiter's suggestion tried the Camarones al Mojo de Ajo and the Huaraches Tres Cochinitas and was not disappointed

    The food was good. The chili relleno was good. Surprising variety of sauces and salsa makes this a really good place to try in the Financial District.

    Some of my favorite carnitas tacos around. The seasoning is perfect. And get some orange salsa for your chips. Or just to rub on your face.

    Those tacos and chips really hit the spot, they also have really good tamales. Get yourself a Mexican coke and have a seat.

    Tropisueno adds a tropical spin to the Al Pastor taco with chunks of pineapple. A bit too greasy for my 🌮 liking.

    Incredible chips and collection of salsas! Great for dinner or lunch. Try the salmon entree at dinner and combo platters for lunch
  • Jennifer K.
    New here? 1. Look at the menu on the left. 2. Walk forward and order. Know what you want. 3. Go to cashier, order your drink and pay. 4. Go to salsa bar. 5. Sit and wait. Overwhelming when busy & new!

    The chicken vegetable soup is great. It was the perfect pick-me up on a sick day + low carb. A splurge ($11) but 10x better than other soup companies.

    Taqueria by day, classy turn-the-lights-down-low restaurant by night. Awesome (free) chips, many salsas, and I recommend any of the super tacos.
