How are the prices at Marthita's?
You’re looking at roughly 16 per person – reported by 9 diners. That puts it in the $11–$20 category. For a Mexican Restaurant, it’s comfortably mid-range: not a steal, but not bank-breaking either.
Looking at the spread, most guests spend in the $1–$10 or $11–$20 brackets, with a few venturing into higher price points. With only 9 diners reporting, it’s a good indication, but keep in mind the data is still a bit limited.
Here’s a quick look at what guests spend per person, based on the latest 9 reviews. With limited data, it still gives us a good idea!
How this restaurant’s value stacks up against similar spots in San Francisco.
Overall, we think the pricing feels quite fair for a Mexican restaurant in San Francisco. It hits a sweet spot for a casual meal.

Delicious Scratch-Cooked Mexican with Great Value
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I enjoyed delicious Mexican dishes that genuinely tasted like they were cooked from scratch. We both ordered the huevos rancheros, which was a simpler style than typically found, but it was still some of the best I've ever had.
The phenomenal homemade salsas were a highlight, and the fresh coffee was really great.

Authentic Mexican Gem in Bayview
If you're a fan of Mexican food made by G-ma, this is the place. My experience was delightful, with great food all around. It's a small, family-owned establishment where the staff is friendly.
The burrito rocks and the tortas are top-notch. They use fresh ingredients, and G-ma's salsa absolutely crushed it. A Bayview must-visit, a delightful hole in the wall 🤘💯.
