 Mamacita's interior transports guests from busy Chestnut Street to the courtyard of a Mexican village, with a thatched roof over the adobe house kitchen and a sky-blue ceiling dripping with clusters of gold stars. Chef Sam Josi cooked at Slanted Door and he approaches Mexican food similarly to the way Charles Phan approaches Vietnamese food---classic dishes made from fresh ingredients with a dash of California flair. Josi's traditional quesadillas, which resemble empanadas, are made from masa every morning and stuffed with epazote, sweet pepper rajas and cheddar. Niman Ranch albondigas are served with whipped Yukon Gold and sweet potatoes. Chilaquiles casi listos are perfect for sharing with a group---a huge portion of warm tortilla chips tossed with chipotle cream, roasted chicken, sweet pepper rajas and scallions. Margaritas are among the best in town.
