    Interior bar
    Sheila N.

    After two incredible visits (one for happy hour with the #YEShusband, and one for a team dinner), Modi has officially earned its spot in my regular rotation. Located on the street level of the Salesforce Transit Center, it offers a great covered patio and a cozy interior. On our first visit, we sat at the bar and went in knowing we would want to try a few unique items. The bartender, Jiro, was friendly and knowledgeable--he was also very accommodating when we asked him to put the Giants game on the TV. -Sueño De Amalfi (Tito's Vodka, Limoncello, Agave, Lime, Basil): Lemony and strong! This is a great starter drink since it's alcohol forward, and the flavors are all potent, -Dulce Vita (Yotobi Pina Mezcal, Passion Fruit, Aperol, Lime): The #YEShusband is a big passionfruit fan, and really enjoyed this one! The mezcal is a nice balance to the tart passionfruit and aperol. -Aperol Spritz: Refreshing! This was a perfect drink to sip while also enjoying the decadent food! -Chips & Salsa: complimentary; these were good and I really enjoyed the salsa verde. -Fresh Oysters (Daily selection of locally sourced oysters, served with house-made mango mezcal mignonette and watermelon sorbet): Exceptionally fresh. The mango mezcal mignonette and watermelon sorbet are creative, delicious pairings. Jiro gave us a side shot of mezcal which complemented the mignonette- perks of sitting at the bar! -Trompitos Al Pastor (Tender Wagyu beef in soft tortillas, topped with gorgonzola cream, arugula, and pickled red onions): So flavorful and tasty! I would have preferred if they layered the pineapple with the meat instead of one piece at the wide end of the skewer. Would still order again. -Tacos Lobster (Succulent lobster, creamy avocado, crisp slaw, lime crema, fresh cilantro, all wrapped in a warm tortilla): Worth the splurge. They don't skimp on the lobster, and the lime crema ties it all together perfectly. -Birria Lasagna (Layers of tender birria beef, traditional lasagna pasta, tomato sauce, and creamy béchamel, all baked with mozzarella): If you can only order one item, make this THE ONE. The birria is tender and packed with flavor; the pasta is on the thinner side, yet still keeps the dish together; and THE SAUCE...just go ahead and order extra and thank me later. -Churro Tiramisu: We don't usually order dessert, but glad that we ordered this! This is actually four small churros served over a whipped sweet cream. A perfect way to end our meal! Bringing a work group here was a total win. Tomas took excellent care of us, narrowing down the best dishes for the table. I went with the Birria Lasagna again (no regrets!) and the whole team left happy. Huge thanks to the staff for helping me score some major brownie points with my coworkers! Looking forward to visiting again soon!

    Guacamole
    Andrew R.

    Came here for lunch on a Saturday - definitely less busy than a weekday and we were seated right away. We started off with the guacamole, which was really good. It had flakes of Parmesan cheese, which was unique. I got the shrimp tacos, and wasn't too impressed. I think there were some sauces that weren't listed on the menu, and they were not very good. The shrimp was also kinda flavorless. I would definitely pass on the tacos here. The restaurant itself is spacious and really pretty, and the service was good. Overall a really unique cuisine and I would come back and try some of the other dishes!

    Churro tiramisu

    Meh, it's decent. Ordered: Caesar salad, parmigiana nopales, chicken, churro tiramisu Pro: parmigiana nopales and salad were both rockstars!!!!! I loved every bite of the fresh salad. The parmigiana was an interesting take on eggplant parm, quite lovely but not sure I'd order it again but enjoyed something new. Cons: the chicken!!!!!! Dry as a bone and sooooo much lemon I puckered. The potatoes were excellent though. The bathroom gets an exceptional...exceptionally DISGUSTING!!!!!!!!! Legit, a well toilet would be cleaner. It's horrific. Interesting concept of Italian/chinese, not sure I'd hang again.

    Excellent drinks and good food. Italian Mexican fare. We enjoyed the Prosciutto pizza - light and freshly baked Steak slider Chicken skewers Guacamole Manhattan with smoke Mezcal cocktail Aperol spritz There is an indoor (smallish) and outdoor patio space. Staff attentive.

    Amazing place for lunch or dinner. I've taken several clients here for lunch, sitting on the nice patio and also have had several family dinners here. The menu is exciting, Italian and Mexican mix, with the Ravioli Elote, the Pizza Al Pastor and the Branzino being my favorites. I had the Burger the other day for a business lunch and it was really good too!

    Valentine Menu 2026

    Well it started off nice but Unfortunately, it ended up being a horrible way to start our evening. We had a 5:00 PM reservation, so the restaurant was not busy yet. The space itself is nice, and we were greeted warmly and seated outside. Our server was sweet and clearly trying his best, but he seemed completely lost. He didn't know the menu and had to repeatedly go back and ask another staff member questions. It looked like several employees were running around in circles, even though there were very few customers. The entire operation felt very disorganized. The appetizers and salads were actually good, which gave us hope. Our main dishes took about an hour to arrive and when they finally did, both the steak and chicken were cold. There's really no excuse for serving cold entrees after such a long wait. The flavors themselves were good, but that didn't make up for the temperature and the delay. We had a show at 7:00 PM and needed to leave by 6:30, so we ended up asking when our food would be coming. When it finally arrived we ate it without complaint since we were starving, on a tight schedule and of course we didn't want to ruin our own Valentine's Day, which also happened to be my birthday dinner. Because we realized how late it was, we asked for our dessert to go, which took another 10-15 minutes to sort out. Overall, the service was a complete mess. To be fair, I don't blame our waiter. He seemed kind and genuinely trying, but it honestly felt like he may have been thrown in that day and was still trying to figure everything out. Unfortunately, the experience put a damper on what should have been a special night.

    Came here for a work happy hour and this place is great and underrated. It is located right at the Salesforce Transit Center, which makes it super convenient and easy to get to, especially if you work nearby. I had the chance to try a variety of menu items and cocktails, and nothing disappointed. Everything was well executed and flavorful, and the drinks were just as solid as the food. I would definitely come back, whether for another happy hour or a casual night out.

    This place is right under the Salesforce Park. It's decorated really nice inside. I went in the evening and the ambiance was really nice. There were white lights illuminating the place & nice tile tables. There was a huge tv where we were sitting that was showing places in Italy. Service was great. The serve complimentary chips & salsa. We ordered some of the dishes that the waiter recommended. I got the lasagna which was really good. The meat was more like pulled pork not the usual minced hamburger meat. I love a lot of sauce and this was just right. My friend had the fish. It was good but not as good as my lasagna. I didn't like it enough to where I would order it if I went again. I would recommend trying out this place!

    Churro Tiramisu
    Chaylene G.

    I'll admit I was slightly skeptical coming in since it was Italian/Mexican and didn't know what to expect. I will say I was pleasantly surprised and will definitely come back to try more dishes. We got the ahi tostada, cauliflower al pastor, Birria Lasagna, and Churro Tiramisu. The winners were definitely the Birria Lasagna and Churro Tiramisu so don't skip on that. We sat indoors which I throughly enjoyed since it was warm and the ambiance was quite nice. Our waiter was great as well, he had helpful recommendations! The owner/manager was absolutely wonderful and checked in often (even gave the churro tiramisu on the house!!) With JPM happening, I was afraid of it being booked but we were able to walk in with no reservations and get a table immediately.

    I recently hosted a party of 30 people at Modi, and the hospitality was world-class. Being situated right below the salesforce transit center , the ambiance is stunning--modern, high-energy, and perfectly reflective of the city's scale. Despite our large group, the service was seamless and incredibly welcoming. The Italian-Mexican fusion menu is a total standout. Here are the must-orders: Birria Lasagna: Rich, tender, and the ultimate comfort fusion. Risotto Milano Mexico: Decadent saffron risotto elevated by roasted bone marrow. Ravioli Elote: A clever, sweet, and savory twist on street corn. Tacos: Fresh, vibrant, and perfect for sharing. Please note some pictures above are missing. I was too happy from the drinks and forgot snap a pic.

    Cauliflower
    Erik A.

    Really enjoyed this spot overall. The menu is creative and the flavors are thoughtfully put together. The al pastor pizza was excellent, and the cauliflower absolutely stole the show. Bold and delicious and something I'd order again without hesitation. We split both the chicken and steak entrées since everything sounded good. The chicken was the winner with the crisp skin, tender meat, and that sauce - muy bueno - that pulled the whole dish together. The crispy potatoes were perfectly done. The steak dish, on the other hand, missed the mark a bit. We ordered medium rare and it came out firmly rare. Flavor was good, but I ended up taking most of it home to cook again for round two. The polenta was fine, but not memorable. I'll skip this dish on my next outing here. Dessert was solid but different expectations presentation-wise. The churro tiramisu leaned much more churro than tiramisu, though the flavor was good. Cocktails were a mixed bag: the espresso martini was good, and the Smoked Oak had nice flavor, but the presentation felt off. Getting a glass that looked only a third full made it seem like something was missing, though the flavors both complemented and contrasted the dishes. We sat outside on a cool evening, which in hindsight wasn't the move on my end. The metal chairs never really warmed up, the heaters only helped a little, and well... city smells are still city smells. That part's on me, too. Service, though, was great across the board - friendly, attentive, and welcoming. TLDR; I really liked the flavors here and I'll definitely be back. There are a few things I wouldn't order again, but plenty I absolutely would. Next time, I'll come earlier in the day or on a warmer night and stick to the hits.

    Outside dining & Indoor

    Staff absolutely amazing, Food was top-notch as well. Great drink menu and cocktails and wine. Price is not too crazy for San Francisco. Also off the beaten path, not crazy downtown vibes. Chillll.

    Churros
    Helen H.

    TLDR: Pleasantly surprised with my experience at a restaurant by a transit center. I wouldn't say anything I ate was remarkable, but I appreciated the novelty of an Italian-Mexican restaurant and generally thought prices and portions were reasonable. They know how to do corporate meals -- service was efficient and our server was personable. I'd come back if I needed a place that could easily accommodate a big group. ------ FOOD: 1. CHURROS TIRAMISU (5/5) The best thing I ate was definitely this dessert. Imagine churro Lincoln Logs with dollops of mascarpone and a dusting of cocoa. The churros came out hot and crispy, and they had a great flavor. 2. MARGHERITA PIZZA (4/5) Pretty good! Classic Neapolitan style with good sauce and cheese flavor, though lacking a bit on the basil front. A slice had a surprisingly good undercarriage and the crust was satisfyingly thin and crispy. 3. BIRRIA LASAGNA (4/5) I asked for entree recommendations and the waiter said the lasagna, ravioli, and the steak. I liked this innovative take on lasagna, but I ultimately found it to be a bit dry and needing more sauce. The birria was tender enough, but it lacked substantial flavor. 4. TUNA TOSTADAS (3/5) Tuna didn't have much flavor and I didn't enjoy the balsamic glaze combo in this dish. Tostada was crunchy, but it (like the free chips) doesn't have much of a taste either. 5. STREET CORN (3/5) I think this is personal preference. Combo of difficult to eat and flavors I don't love together. ------ SERVICE: * Waiter was charismatic without being intrusive * Service was pretty quick. Even though this place is relatively new, it was a well-oiled machine and they got us house chips + guac and drink orders almost immediately * We had pre-ordered some apps and those came out very quickly after we arrived without us needing to say anything * They know how to handle large groups ------ ENVIRONMENT / AMBIANCE: * Outdoor and indoor dining areas -- the outdoor area is probably more accommodating of large groups * Outdoor area is completely covered and surrounded so you feel pretty insulated from the outside, and there are local heaters to keep you warm * It has its own charm but ultimately I wouldn't say its decorations or ambiance particularly stood out.

I wasn't too hungry, so I grabbed a Super Lengua Taco, while my friends grabbed burritos, we ended up grabbing 3 complimentary chips and guac/salsa with our order and the food came out pretty quickly. When I saw my Taco I forgot how much they stuffed it and wow, two of these would've filled me up just like a taco; there was so much Lengua that it kept falling off after every bite. The flavors all came together and I scruffed down the whole thing after about 6+ bites! Definitely a place to come to if you're looking for a full meal, or something to snack on!
