Sunset Cantina
- Mexican restaurant in San Francisco

*

Located in the heart of San Francisco’s Outer Sunset, Sunset Cantina brings bold Mexican flavors to the coast with a laid-back beach vibe. Home to the neighborhood’s largest selection of mezcal and tequila, we’re proud to serve the best margaritas in all the lands—alongside ice-cold cervezas and a rotating list of specialty cocktails. 

Our menu showcases coastal classics and street food staples, from juicy al pastor tacos and cheesy quesabirria, to our signature brined and crispy carnitas. Don’t miss specials like the whole deep-fried Huachinango platter, or weekend brunch with a Mexican twist. And for the lunch crowd—our Cantina Style burrito is already making a name for itself as the best in San Francisco (available weekdays only).

Sunset Cantina is a local hangout made for golden hour drinks, delicious eats and a friendly neighborhood vibe.
