This is one of our favorites. Mexican fare at its best and what San Francisco eating is all about.
Papito Potrero is in the¬†lively, interesting neighborhood of Potrero Hill. It’s a tiny (20 seats inside, eight out) restaurant with a creative chef and cheerful knowledgable servers. It’s not fusion food but Mexican regional heightened with a soupcon of French flavor.
The prices are reasonable and the servings are right-size — not American Gargantuan, not tiny microbites. Papito Potrero serves street-food flavors enhanced by serious chefery.
