Tortilla Heights

Wednesday is my new favorite day! Why you ask? Because Wednesday = $1 margaritas at Tortilla Heights! That's right $1! If you still need more of a reason to head over to this delicious mexican restaurant, how about their tacos! They serve them Nick's style, which means packed with your favorite meat, pico, and guacamole. So good! I'm drooling just thinking about it! You know where to find me every Wednesday from now on! Pros: Nick's Style Tacos Cons: $1 margaritas only served on Wednesdays more

The general manager came to our table and commented that one of my friends had ?nice cleavage.? I approached him and told him that I thought he owed my friend an apology. When he would not apologize, I asked him for his name and he told me ?Tony.? I asked him for his last name, and he refused to give it to me. He asked me ?Who are you? Who do you work for?? I replied that it was not important and I wanted his last name and his boss' phone number. He told me, ?I am the owner.? I was fairly certain he was not the owner, and I asked a server for the owner's name and number. She told me that she couldn't give that to me. As her general manager was looming over her, I can understand why. He finally apologized to my friend and immediately after he told her that I was an '@$$hole' and that I was not allowed in his restaurant anymore. Apology not accepted. We remained on the corner for another couple of minutes. Tony situated himself in the window staring at our party in what I could only assume was an attempt to intimidate me. When we were ready to go, the five of us walked down Bush St. to our car, which was parked in front of the Wells Fargo ATM. We piled in, and I looked to my right to see that Tony had emerged from the restaurant. He walked by our car yelling and pointing at me. As I had my window up, I could not hear what he was saying, but I knew at this point that he was definitely trying to intimidate me. I opened my door and yelled back at him before he made a right and disappeared into the Wells Fargo parking lot. This was easily the worst experience I have ever had with any management ANYWHERE. If Tony had just admitted that he made a mistake and apologized, everything would have been OK. Tortilla Heights does not deserve your business as long as their management acts in this inappropriate, offensive, and professional manner. Cons: Unprofessional Management, Sexual Harassment more

This place was great! My husband and I had never been to San Fran before, and a friend of mine recommended we check out Tortilla Heights. I'm glad we went...it was more fun that the fancy place we went to the night before! We must have gotten there just before the rush, as we go a table right a way, but the place filled up in no time. The food was amazing; best chips ever. The margaritas were great. The service was friendly and fast. Even the manager came over to say hi, and chatted with us for a good while! Pros: Great Drinks, Wicked Fun Atmosphere Cons: Wish there was one in Boston! more

These tacos are the best i have ever tried. Try there Happy hour as well, great drinks! Atmosphere is also second to none. more

This place is unbelievable! It's a great spot if you're looking for a fun dining experience....great for groups, out of towners, or dinner with a friend. Get there early, and it's an excellent spot to take the kids. The food is incredible, best guacamole in town. And the margaritas are out of this world, fresh squeezed lime juice...no mixers. They're insane, and I don't even love margaritas so this is saying a lot. Not to miss: queso dip, skirts enfuego salad, tacos ""nicks way"", asada mixto. Wow! You will not be disappointed, and will more then likely find yourself back sooner then you think. Pros: Inexpensive, great food, fun Cons: definitely a casual atmosphere more

if your looking for good times with some solid food and delicious margaritas then this is your place. I've been here several times and it never dissapoints. Whether I'm eating alone at the bar, or celebrating something or the other with a large group I always have a blast. Sure it's a little loud, but then again it's a festive Mexican Cantina. The tacos are the best. Be sure to order them Nick's way. I was there the other night and a huge bday party was going on. It looked like the staff went above and beyond so if your looking to celebrate with a big group, I'd go here. more

Each experience at Tortilla Heights makes me wonder why I keep going back. Service is generally sub-par, sometimes dipping to intolerable and the food is mediocre at best, with the exception of the queso (but then, it's pretty hard to mess up melted cheese, if you ask me). Having been in the restaurant business I'm generally the one that's quick to defend a slammed waitress or a mistake by the kitchen, but Tortilla Heights leaves me at a loss for words. Not to mention that the food is not nearly good enough for how pricey it is. I placed a to-go order recently - Queso, Soup and a KIDS burrito. I was wrong to think that my order would be ""quick"". Or cheap. My kids burrito (beans and cheese) was $7. I waited for more than 10 minutes after I arrived - and I had called in my order. I was never offered so much as a glass of water while I waited. Unacceptable. I keep going back with hopes that the service will improve or that maybe I was just in a crummy mood on my last visit. Pros: Good margaritas, IF they arrive after you've ordered them... Cons: Poor service, too expensive. more

New menu and prices, along with bad service have made this place the worst mexican resturant in SF. Pros: None. Cons: $32 for house margaritas, poor revised menu, queso is now flavorless. more

Some friends have mentioned this place before so we decided to give it a try. The food wasn't anything to rave about. The queso dip and the margaritas are good, but thats about it. I had the grilled fish veracruz - not so good; the steak tapiqueno was decent, but the enchiladas that were served with it tasted like it had canned cheese on it. Pros: fun, lively atmosphere Cons: parking more

The only good thing I can say about this place is the location. I live in the area and was hoping to make this a regular stop on my way home. I first ventured into this restaurant when it first opened and thought the food was decent considering it was new. On my second visit I tried the steak burrito. Oh my goodness... salty, tasteless, dry... couldn't have asked for a worse meal. The service was horrible. We had a server who looked and acted like this was her first waiting gig. She was slow, rude, and defensive. If they continue to employee people like this, I'm sure they'll fall among the hundreds of restaurants that don't make it in San Francisco. With that said, I was open to giving this place one more chance... and of course I was unsurprisingly disappointed. A few friends and I went in on a Friday night after work and ordered a few dishes to share. Everything except for the Nachos were horrible. The service was mediocre at best. I don't think I'll be going back anytime soon. Pros: Location Cons: Food, Service more

This place has the most authentic mexican I have found in the city, it is cheap, great, and you can drink margaritas all day long, so happy I found this place, I just wish they delivered, but the view is worth the trip down there to pick up some food. more

This place ROCKS!! So many tequilla's to choose from! Great margaritas! The food is fantastic. I love the enchalatas. DEFINITELY ORDER THE CHURROS!! There is a super fun atmosphere too. Finally a fun mexican place in the city!! Pros: Yum, Yum , Yum more

The guacamole was fresh and very tasty. I would also recommend the margarita and Sangria mix. Make a reservation on weekends!! Pros: food, bar Cons: parking more

I love this place. I've been there twice and both times all of the food we ordered was excellent. It was fun, fresh, and super tasty for your money. Plus the employees are friendly. I can't wait to go back again! more

Low key, fun atmosphere for lunch, happy hour, or dinner. The serving sizes are generous but not overwhelming and everything tastes crisp, fresh, and seasoned. The friendly owner also stops by to make sure you're having a good time. more

What's better than having a happening atmosphere, tropical decor, tequila galore and yummy food for a decent price in your neighborhood? Not much. The queso is great, mixed with their fresh salsa, even better. Beware of the habenero salsa...only for the brave. The best homemade churros in town, so save room for dessert! Finally a successful restaurant in this location. Ole! Pros: Reasonably priced, Big tequila selection Cons: Very busy more

Great food! Great booze! Great value! I went to this place with a few friends to share a pitcher of margaritas and was pleasantly suprised by the great food and menu. I have to mention that the combination of superb cheap food, great drinks, queso and a little bit of that rock & roll seems to attract the ladies to this place like bees to honey or my dog to peanut butter :) Try the blue corn enchiladas! The decor/atmosphere suits the restaurant. more

Delicious. House-made chips with great guac and queso dip. Every item seems to be under $10! Had the caesar, ceviche and taquitos. Washed it down with some quenching house margaritas. Welcome to the neighborhood! Pros: tequila, tequila, tequila Cons: noisy, tough parking more
