Tommy’s
Mexican
The complimentary salad is shredded lettuce with a dollop of salsa, and it arrives like a postcard from 1965. Tommy's is a neighborhood Mexican restaurant with red pleather booths, a matriarch who greets you at the door, and a tequila collection that runs into the hundreds. Julio Bermejo is a serious agave authority, and a seat at the bar will leave you considerably more educated than when you walked in. Order the chimichangas and let him talk you through something good.

Chimichangas
“Sit at the bar, order the chimichangas and a margarita, and leave knowing more about agave than when you entered.”
San Francisco Chronicle -
Margarita
“The agave-syrup-enhanced margarita, whose recipe remains unchanged since 1965, is a great place to start.”
