Authenic Classy Mexican Food 4 By tracy c. \| Insider \| Rank: 27,521 Restaurante Dona Tomas You won't mind waiting for a table here because it will give you time to enjoy the fantastic mojitos at the bar. The dishes are authentic. My friend who grew up in Mexico said Dona Tomas was the best Mexican food she's had outside of Mexico. Posted 03/29/08 \| Printable Version Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No (you must log in or sign up to vote) A modern take on Mexican cuisine 4 By Brandon K. \| Insider Guru \| Rank: 1,127 Restaurante Dona Tomas Dona Tomas offers some really interesting and unique fare. The food is quintessentially Mexican but it is quite refined and employs seasonal ingredients, creates twists on classics, and overall takes an innovative approach to all their dishes. It's somewhat upscale for Mexican food, but it's worth it. Entrees range about $15-$19. They have an excellent tequila and mezcal selection and have a great cocktail list. Surprisingly, their deserts are really good. The only reason I give four stars is that the host/hostess staff are RUDE! The wait staff is great, but they think it's ok to ignore you when you come in, and give you arbitrarily long waits with no explanation or apology when there are clearly tables. That's just poor hospitality. Especially when there is no comfortable place to wait at all. Just because Temescal is 'trendy' it's not that trendy.

The Guacamole is to die for, the salsa with its robust roasted chilies was great, and the vegetarian black mole and squash dish was awesome! If you have room for desert or decide to split one with your partner, have the flan with a mexxican hot chocolate! So good! PROS: Flavors are robust and the atmosphere is warm, staff very friendly CONS: A tad pricey and a long wait without a res on a friday or saturday night Posted 05/11/06 \| Printable Version Was this review helpful to you?

At first glance, it is just a little yuppie-looking restaurant on Telegraph with cute vintage tables and nice decor. But as soon as you are seated at your table, you realize that it is different from other restaurants. The service people are genuinely nice, fast, and eager to help and the food is completely delicious and very unusual for the Bay Area. PROS: delicious food, great service CONS: none Posted 06/10/05 \| Printable Version Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No (you must log in or sign up to vote)
