Doña Tomás is a special restaurant where you can feel like you're at a lively villa in Mexico enjoying fresh squeezed lime margaritas in the courtyard patio or dining on delicious Mexican cuisine in the main room or the crimson red bar room.
With our seasonally changing menu and our love and respect for Mexican food and culture, we strive to present a culinary experience highlighting our favorite dishes from Mexico. It is our goal to prepare these classics with the bounty of what is available in the Bay Area, serving them in a fun atmosphere where the energy is always exciting.
We pride ourselves on serving unusual and long forgotten dishes that we have tasted and recreated from our many journeys to Mexico. Please go to our website donatomas.com for our current menu.
Our menu is predominately gluten free. We are a family friendly restaurant and we welcome well-behaved dogs on our patio.

    Love this place. Unique take on Mexican food. Great service, casual atmosphere and I love the sunny back patio where we can bring our dog.

    Dona Tomás never ever fails me. The Mexican toast, chilaquiles verde and the juevos rancheros are just to die for. Keep up the great work.

    I love Dona Tomas. Every single time. The dishes are inventive, delicious, beautiful. The Carnitas is worth writing poetry for! If you drink booze, don't skip one of their tequila drinks. tasty.

    The atmosphere and service were excellent, and the food was generally very good. The Chile rellenos were outstanding but the chicken mole enchiladas were dry and tasteless. The mole was delicious but there was too little of it!

    This is a well known cute little Temescal place. I was excited to try it and found it okay. The guacamole and chips were good. Carnitas was okay - a bit on the dry tip. The beans are either known for having no salt or didn’t have salt. It was odd. Husband ordered hash of carnitas, poached eggs and kale. He said the same. It was okay. Probably wouldn’t return but wouldn’t tell people not to go. It’s so popular that perhaps it was just an off day for what we ordered.

    Would recommend if you get sat in the main room or the patio. If you are sat in the dive bar room then the experience is not as nice. Red walls are a bit abrasive and just make the already small space feel tight. Service was OK, food was tasty but took forever. To be expected at brunch I guess.

    We sat in the back room. The service and food were both delicious. Being in the back I think it was a little quieter than the main rooms Highly recommend

    Chili Chilaquiles Rojo is always so good, I get it with half the rojo sauce and it is perfect.
