Mexico DF, San Francisco

Mexican was one of the things I wanted to get my fill of while in San Fran. I had heard that they do Mexican and Asian food better there. I found low-key, hole-in-the-wall type places to try, but Jason wanted to dine at a Mexican place that's a little more upscale and he found Mexico DF.

The menu looked interesting and it was hard for us to narrow down our choices. We started off with two appetizers.. the Clasico guacamole and the California Hamachi and Prawns ceviche.

We then shared the Organic Heirloom Tomato Salad. I love heirloom tomatoes and I haven't had it any better than the ones I've tried in San Fran.

Next came the Local Albacore Tuna with Corn Puree and Grilled Jalapenos Heirloom Tomato Salsa. Sounds good. Looks good. But we sent it back. The tuna was as hard as a hockey puck. It was inedible. We had asked them to remake the same dish. But they said they ran out of the tuna and suggested we tried the Loch Duart Scottish Salmon with Poblano Chile Crema and Watermelon Salsa Fresca. The fish was cooked much better and I think a better dish overall.


And finally, the carnitas and a side of refried beans. I had read the carnitas are not to be missed. But, eh, I think I could've passed on them. They were pretty good, but we were stuffed after the salmon.

Overall, this place was pretty good, but not better than the Mexican I've had in NYC.
