San Francisco Restaurant Guide - Latin American/ Mexican
|
|
|
San Francisco's Mission District, the area around San Francisco's historic Mission Dolores, is the undisputed epicenter for everything Latin American and Mexican. Taquerias and pupuserias abound, and family restaurants from Cuban and Colombian to Guatemalan populate Mission and Valencia Streets. San Francisco also delivers several upscale Mexican and Latin American restaurants. For Mayan-inspired cuisine with dishes like Halibut Toltec, Maya in SOMA is a bright, contemporary and stylish San Francisco restaurant. For chic Nuevo Latino cuisine near the Castro, Destino serves tapa-sized dishes that pull influences from all over the Spanish-speaking world.

From great guacamole prepared and served tableside with fresh homemade tortillias to the tender chicken mole in a rich flavorful sauce, the food at Colibri is a refreshing twist on Central Mexican Cuisine.
