El Buen Comer

El Buen Comer is one of the best mexican restaurants in San Francisco for dinner, especially if you want a strong option in Bernal Heights.

El Buen Comer is the rare restaurant whose reputation rests entirely on the cooking — specifically on the guisados of Mexico City, the weekday home-cooking tradition that most San Francisco Mexican restaurants have never bothered to pursue.
