What People Are Saying About Mercedes- Hair of the Dog Cantina
The Owner
Mercedes- Hair of the Dog Cantina
Owner
Mercedes - Hair of The Dog Cantina has been treating the Bay Area since 1967. The Heart of Mexico in the heart of the Financial District. Located on one of San Francisco's wonderful, hidden alleys, Mercedes is a popular and insider Mexican Restaurant serving the local business lunch crowds and those who stumble upon us. Mercedes is the perfect lunch spot for those with weekly 9 to 5 jobs. Bring back the idea of martini lunches by sharing a refreshing and rejunvenating midday pitcher of margaritas with friends before teetering back to the office. Sit at the bar and enjoy the warm summer breeze…

In Short – Festive environs--replete with multicolored tapestries draped from the ceiling and bright banquettes in orange and pink--are juxtaposed against a suit-clad Financial District crowd at this lively eatery. Diners nosh on a bottomless supply of house-made chips and salsa while waiting for heaping plates of rice and refried beans with favorites like huevos rancheros, chimichangas and carne asada. Midday imbibers can also select from five Mexican brews, sangria and the signature margarita.

by awolfey
Pretty cheap for sit down Mexican AND downtown. my service was stellar! the bus boy even spotted that my table was shaking a stabilized it for me. food was fine, with a some little-tastier-than-normal salsa. If you're in the area you shouldn't be disappointed.
- Pros: service

Addicting!

Best Mexican place for lunch in the financial district. Love the enchiladas and chicken soup - and be sure to check out their specials. The cooks have been at the restaurant for years and cook family recipes. Can get busy on Fridays for a table but once seated, the service is so efficient you can be in and out of there quickly.
