When it comes to classics—whether clothing, music, or movies—they evoke a “step back in time” feeling. The same can be said for family-owned restaurants that have stood the test of time. At Tommy’s Mexican Restaurant & World’s Best Tequila Bar in San Francisco, you get both.
Located at 5929 Geary Blvd. in San Francisco’s Outer Richmond District, Tommy's Mexican Restaurant & World’s Best Tequila Bar is a city staple.
...but the well-stocked and distinctive bar also serves a wide array of other amazing concoctions crafted with world-renown brands such as Gran Centenario, Chinaco Rep, Cuervo Reserva de la Familia, Don Julio, and Sauza Tres Generaciones, just to name a few.
The establishment looks pretty much the same as it did back in the 1960s.
You’ll still find those classic, red leather dining booths, traditional wood restaurant tables and chairs, colorful tapestries, and cases of artifacts and memorabilia collected over the years.
The food here at Tommy’s is outstanding. The Ceviche De Tommy, their unique take on the classic bay shrimp salad, is a crowd favorite.
The menu is extensive, encompassing everything from delicious aperetivos (appetizers) to, of course, traditional Mexican dishes, burritos, steaks, egg and house specialties, and more.
They also serve up an array of traditional Yucatecan dishes from the Yucatán region of México.
The Yucatecan Tamales, Carne Asada, Pollo Pibil, Poc Chuc, and other specialties, served with rice, black beans, salad, and tortillas, are all fresh and oh so authentic!
If you’re looking for a long-standing family-owned restaurant serving classic fare in an ambiance that takes you back in time, Tommy’s Mexican Restaurant & World’s Best Tequila Bar is the place for you!
