Sit-down Mexico City Market Food For all the taquerias, taco trucks, and Mission dives specializing in moonshine margaritas, the neighborhood seems to lack a good sit-down Mexican spot where you’d be willing to take your mom. Thankfully there’s a new option: Michael Pena’s Regalito Rosticeria, where you’ll find Mexico City style “market food” and an inventive menu with fresh ingredients at an affordable price. |

An Alternative to Mission Taquerias With its dimly lit interior, Velvet Cantina could easily pass for a restaurant hoping to capture the first date/twenty-something crowd. While its clientele does indeed consist of young urbanites, the four-month old Mexican restaurant encourages revelry rather than romance. This is somewhat in keeping with the space's prior incarnation, The El Zarape Room. Prior to the ownership and name change, Latino crowds danced salsa and held court with buckets of Coronas, while groups of hipsters slammed margaritas and suckled sangria. |

Where Mexico Meets the Marina Since opening in November, Mamacita is a magnet for neighborhood Marina diners and drinkers. Reservations are advised, but if you're craving fresh, local ingredients prepared Mexican-style, the wait isn't too bad, especially after a few margaritas. Opt for the pomegranate margarita if you have a sweet tooth, or the sangria, with a secret ingredient that makes it one of the most distinctive sangrias around. Not surprisingly, numerous beers and tequilas are available and, happily, there is an extensive by-the-glass wine selection. |

Nick Brings Mexican to Russian Hill In early 2005, Nick Fasanella opened a gem of a taqueria in San Francisco’s Russian Hill neighborhood, offering cheap and quick eats made with quality ingredients. |
