The Iron Cactus - San Francisco

The food is really good and authentic. The service was great. The drinks were generous and often original The decor is very upscale. It is not your cheesy Mexican restaurant of the eighties. It is elegant and interesting, while making statements about Mexican history. I would recommend this place to anyone traveling up I 575. Take exit seven, it is not too far.

Quick service, large portions, good quality. I enjoyed their salsa options and their sangria is pretty good. They have a reasonable beer selection. It's all a bit pricey but par for the area and they do have some happy hour specials if you're there earlier, but I usually stop in later than that, usually on days when I've missed my train and the next one isn't going to be for an hour and I'm starving. :

Loved their super burrito. Guac and sour cream with chicken is a super combination. Can't go wrong with that. Service was slow but that maybe because I went there early by 11 30 for lunch. Nice seating area liked the patio seating. And so many beers on tap too.

This is a great place for some cheap taqueria food. They have $1 happy hour (and Taco Tuesday evening) street tacos which are totally worth it. Of all the meats offered I like the Al Pastor and the Chorizo the best. The employees are always friendly and upbeat.

Long line for lunch. Fish tacos are good! They have happy hour specials, they pretty much have all the beers. I love the Patio seating, inside not so much. PS: only went here for lunch not dinner so I don't know how it is at night
