Puerto Alegre

"This Valencia Street business has been dealing out Saturday fajitas and pouring pitchers of margaritas for more than 50 years. In a neighborhood heavy with top-tier restaurants, Puerto Alegre represents the many businesses that stand the test of time and withstand the rising costs. Try the enchiladas." - Paolo Bicchieri, Eater Staff

"The Mission’s go-to spot for cheap and cheery, no-fuss Mexican food for groups is famous for their equally reasonably priced margarita pitchers. The house margarita with well tequila will do you just fine, but the fancier options include the Puerto de Oro, made with fresh squeezed lime juice and Sauza Tres Generaciones Reposado; and a Cadillac margarita with Sauza Tres Generaciones Añejo and Cointreau." - Jay C. Barmann

"Puerto Alegre is one of the first Mexican spots many San Franciscans go to when they turn 21 because it's the perfect spot to share a couple of affordable pitchers with a group of friends. The good news is that the margaritas stay just as delicious even as you get older. Skip the frozen versions with strawberry and peach and go for the house version on the rocks. You can order all these concoctions at one of their tables along Valencia street, or to go." - Eater Staff
