At Maya, you get a big plate of Mexican food appetizer thingys during happy hour, from 5pm to 7pm! That’s pretty sweet. This is a nice downtown establishment that is pretty convenient for an afterwork wind-me-down.

There are all these expensive, classy Mexican joints in downtown. What’s with that? I dunno – it feels kind of wrong to me, paying like $12 for a taco. I mean, that must mean it has the most organic pinto beans in the whole entire universe, plated with gold. Their tacos are also made with filet mignon. Last time I checked, the French were not in the business of making tacos, but that’s just me. Their guacamole also costs $9. NINE BUCKS!!!! WHAT IN DE HELL????

Whatever though! Free food at happy hour, yesssssss. Just put that menu away and revel in the freeness of not buying a single thing besides a beer.

Taco? Now that's what I call a pizza. Guide to the best tacos in San Francisco.

This is hella expensive Mexican food, and part of me hates to admit I enjoy it because I get so much more cred if I just bum around the Mission getting cheap tacos all the time, but once in a while a girl just needs tacos with beer marinated sautéed filet mignon tacos, chiles toreados handmade chile verde corn tortillas, and organic tomato salsa. Or what about tacos with achiote paste, tamarind sautéed shrimp, crispy flour tortilla wrap, black bean puree, baby spinach, crema fresca, roasted chile de arbol sauce? Or tacos with pan seared tuna, sesame seed salsa, jicama salad? Cuz you can get that here. And if you don’t feel like dropping $12 for a specialty taco, you can go next door to their less expensive attached-taqueria, and get 3 tacos for like $5.50—cheaper than even a dump taqueria in the Mission (though admittedly not as authentic). 3 fish abobado tacos for $6 is pretty damn good, authentic or otherwise.
