South Beach/SOMA | MEXICAN | CASUAL
Yeah that’s right! We have not been kind to Tres Agaves. Not body-slamming it to the (low) level of K&L Wines, but generally not very complimentary, if ya get my drift. If you don’t, read here. We had high hopes for a great Mexican joint in our SoMa ‘hood, and these guys simply took a [...]

First, what sick mo-fo came up with that logo? You’re hired! Pirates of the Caribbean meets Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas. Or something like that.

PRO: Cool ambiance, fresh ingredients, great food and good ritas! CON: $8 chips & salsa – Que Pasa? OK New York. WTF happened to you? Back in the day, you were a little more like San Francisco.

Marina/Cow Hollow | MEXICAN |
Our good friend Elliot (and friend of the owners!) scored us a table at “Little Mama” one night and thank god, cuz there were more marina-ites jammed in there than there are people jammed around the sample tables on a Sunday at Costco. People, it’s not for your entire MEAL, it’s a “sample”! Move along. Back [...]

Downtown/FIDI | MEXICAN |
Dig it! We needed a place like this downtown…authentic Spanish food, but not too fancy-shmancy. The name says it all, a bistro – comfortable, casual but with some class. Everything we noshed on recently was great – the warm tortillas and salsa they give gratis, Tamales Oaxaquen?os (really chicken tamales w/ mole sauce), Quesadillas de rajas [...]

Marina/Cow Hollow | MEXICAN |
Wow, are there some messed-up people here. Drunk little twits fresh outta their no-name private colleges and over-the-hill wanna-be’s looking to snag some ass. That said, it’s damn good people watching! These places (there are a few in the bay area) have seemed to lose their steam in the past few years. Dunno if it [...]
