Dona Tomas is a special restaurant where you almost feel like you're at a lively villa in Mexico enjoying fresh squeezed lime margaritas in the courtyard patio or dining on the authentic regional Mexican cuisine in the main room or the crimson red bar room. With our seasonally changing menu and our love and respect for Mexican food and culture, we strive to present a culinary experience highlighting our favorite dishes from Mexico. These are often hard to find in American restaurants and it is our goal to update these classics with the bounty of what is available in the Bay Area, serving them in a fun atmosphere where the energy is always exciting. We use organic, local produce when available, sustainably raised beef, pork and chicken, authentic items like hard to find dried chiles, huitlacoche, verdalogas and much more. We pride ourselves on serving unusual and long forgotten dishes that we have tasted and recreated from our many journeys to Mexico.

Great decor and nice service. Parking tough. If you're looking for an authentic, down home, real Mexican food this is probably not for you. Portions are smaller than most and the menu is limited. Afterwards you feel like you would have really scratched that Mexican food itch at Pancho Villa's in the Mission or around the corner. Overall nice but don't arrive hungry for delicious variety and generous servings....you'll be disappointed...

I was there on a Thursday night. My only complaint is the noise. They have different rooms & we were in a red room. We could not have a conversation because we could not hear each other over the noise. And if a blender was turned on it sounded like an airplane taking off in that room.
