The Big Eat 2011 {Part 2}



Tommy's Mexican Restaurant margarita

I'm making some progress on 7X7's The Big Eat list.  I ventured to the Richmond District the other night to try one of Tommy's Mexican Restaurant's famous margaritas.  I wasn't sure what I was walking into since I had heard that Tommy, the owner and founder, passed away suddenly earlier in the week.  What I saw were flowers arrangements, people paying their respects and regulars asking for updates on how the family was doing.  It's clear that the neighborhood (and beyond) cares deeply for the Bermejo family.

They didn't have a table for us at first, so we wandered into the bar area for our first margarita.  There are so many different kinds of tequila (according to their website, "the best selection of Tequila on earth"), we thought it was safest to go for the house margarita.  This may have been the perfect margarita.  Not too sweet and not too sour.  Not too strong or weak.  Perfect and definitely worth the trek and well worth the wait (the food wasn't bad either)!

Next up: The tuna tostada from a personal favorite, Tacolicious.
