Springtime is Margarita Time
The much anticipated San Francisco springtime weather is upon us – let’s celebrate… ¡vamos a celebrarlo!
What better way to bask in the warmth of the sun than with an icy cold pitcher of margaritas and mouthwatering fresh ceviche! From the Mission to the Marina and the Financial District to SOMA, San Francisco is home to some of the best Mexican food north of the border.
The City’s Mexican food capital is the Mission district, so cha cha cha your way down to Valencia and 16th where you’ll find the always packed Puerto Alegre. Their carne asada nachos and steak quesadilla suiza don’t disappoint, especially if you were over-served when bar hopping across town the night before. You’ll never leave this mega-dive hungry, and after a pitcher of their ultra potent margaritas, you’ll be feeling no pain!
For those of you that like your Mexican food with a side of trendy, strut your stuff to the Marina for “the eat and be seen scene” at Mamacita’s on Chestnut Street. Dazzle your taste buds with the delectable ahi tacos or stick-to-your-ribs chicken enchiladas.
For a drinks only night, mingle at the eternally buzzing bar while sipping on fresh-squeezed pomegranate margaritas. After a long week, head out early for the 4pm Friday Happy Hour at Mexico DF Cocina and Cantina in the Financial District where you can drown your sorrows as you raise your margarita to yet another weak week on Wall Street.
Or, just say hit me with your best shot at Tres Agaves Mexican Kitchen and Tequila Lounge in SOMA where the seasoned aficionado can sip on some of the finest tequilas available. The uninitiated can get in on the fun too with a tequila cocktail or a perfect margarita poured with 100% agave tequila. Follow by devouring their delicious guacamole before heading over to watch the Giants game.
Weotta have a Margarita or three… ! Arriba!

Yummmm!!! Margaritas and guacamole. I’ve heard a lot about Tres Agaves and I had no idea it was near my neighborhood. I will definitely check this place out.

Tequila selection at Tres Agaves is absolutely unmatched. Mamacitas, though it lacks tradition or authenticity, is admittedly a whole lot of fun, and the flavors are inventive.
I remember the days when many of us would travel all the way out to Tommy’s for a proper margarita. Those days are now officially behind us!
Great post.
