    Tia Margarita's is an absolute San Francisco classic! You will be hard pressed to find a better ambiance or staff than what awaits you at tias. I have been going my entire life, and always bring out of towners for the most classic CA mexican dinner experience in SF. Delicious margaritas and food. Top hits; carne asada, gambas, gambas tostada, enchiladas, chile relleno, and a fave of mine, jennys special. Order refried beans here, you're welcome. Such a delicious meal, every time! Don't miss the queso if you're feeling naughty. Did I mention margaritas? Get em :)

    This place is a classic. One of the few authentic sit-down restaurants left in SF and certainly the Richmond. Highly recommend it! And definitely make a reservation because it gets busy in a hurry!
