Tucked awayon 20th Street, in the Dogpatch district of San Francisco, the New Spot restaurant offers a mix of Mexican and Salvadoran cuisine. Our Mexican cuisine has typical tacos, burritos and tortas you would normally see in a Mexican menu, however we have also included dishes that are normally made in the Mexican peninsula such as panuchos, which consist of a hand made tortilla stuffed with black refried beans and then is later deep fried on canola oil, than it?s topped with shredded grilled chicken that is marinated with Yucatan spices, We also pride ourselves in the unique Salvadorian cuisine that we have available. Come in and give us a try, we know you will find your New Spot here!

The first thing diners notice when they walk into this inconspicuous space may be the smell of plantains frying or quesadillas grilling, but it's the floor-to-ceiling brightly colored macaw mural that definitely makes the biggest impact. The parrot watches over hungry patrons as they enjoy Mexican favorites like taqueria-style tacos, tortas and burritos, or Salvadorian fare like platanos con crema (fried plantains with cream) and pupusas (a thick hand-made corn tortilla stuffed with a any combination of pork, beans, loroco and cheese). And dessert is not to be missed - they serve plantain empanadas and flan that aren't found at many Latin American restaurants.

I've been to The New Spot a few times, plus ordered takeout for meetings. Everything I've had has been fresh and tasty. Very yummy papusas. The previous reviewer was reviewing the OLD PLACE that used to be at this location. The New Spot wasn't open then. Wish Citysearch would remove the review!

When to Go:
Lunch is good, but breakfast is better. Hit this place before 10:30am to enjoy chilaquiles (salsa-soaked tortilla chips with eggs and beans), huevos rancheros or desayuno Salvadorean (fried plantains with eggs and queso fresco).
What to Drink:
Try the coffee with sweetened condensed milk for a special treat.
The Extras:
Chips and salsa don't come free to your table here - if you want the standard appetizer, order it with your food for an additional 75 cents.
