You know you love their salsa, so might as well order a jar to go. Just make sure to ask for the fresh, not pre-filled. You can thank me later.
Camellia SchinnerDecember 31, 2015Mole tofu burrito with refried beans: It. Was. Heaven. Their salsa is absolutely delicious, and one $.99 side of guac was huge!
David DaySeptember 26, 2016The fish tacos and fish burritos are better than anything we've ever had. The soyrizo was okay, but not really worth the trouble. The chips seemed stale, but wow, the salsa was good.Upvoted Dec 6, 2024
The best salsa in San Francisco. Plus, they have two locations, so easy to get to regardless of what part of the city you're at.
- The best burritos in San Francisco. I'd say salsa would be the city's best as well. Great place, in spite of low seating cap
JennySeptember 23, 2015Inhale chips and salsa. Also, soyrizo is pretty good. Great vegetarian options, giant portions
Super Chicken Burrito and ask for an additional salsa. It costs $$ but is well worth it. One of my favorite burritos in SF.
Jason CaplainAugust 2, 2013Ranked as top 10 place to bite into burrito by USA Today. And for good reason. Their sauce is the key.- Emily WarrenNovember 29, 2011Lots of great veggie and vegan options - veg, grilled veg, soyrizo, mole tofu, marinated tofu... awesome.
Fish burrito is the only item to get here. It's moist and awesome.
Carne Asada burrito...super! Also, Papalote probably has the best salsa in the city.- Andy JiangAugust 19, 2014Pretentious, white version of el farolito's. But the grilled vegetables are solid.
1st off Papalote salsa is amazing 2nd of all the chilaquiles are to die for!!!
Emily BalistrieriSeptember 9, 2009Order a breakfast burrito to put in the fridge for breakfast the next day. OR get a grilled veggie burrito totally plain, with black beans, and sauce it up with chip dip
Nicholas CSeptember 29, 2011Carne asada meat good but tortilla and beans no good. Chips good. 8.50 for buritto. 1 to make super.
The Marinated Tofu Burrito is amazing. A great vegetarian option!
Shawn CalhounMay 4, 2012The good news... The best burrito near USF. The bad news.... The worst burrito in SF. Oh, and overpriced too.
While waiting 15 minutes for your order to come out, run across the street to fulton market for its great beer selection.
I've tried a lot here and I have to say the best thing is the Super Chicken Burrito with Black Beans. the Mole plate is no slouch either.
BommyMarch 13, 2015Chips and salsa are good but otherwise, nothing you can't get at any other mexican food establishment.
Mario L.September 3, 2016Meh...if you've eaten Mexican food in LA or San Diego...you won't be impressed. It's just fine.
Probably one of the best chip salsa I've had! Pour it on the burrito!
Come for the salsa, leave for the overcooked meats and ridiculous prices
It just keeps getting more expensive but less good :( the only thing I'll get here now is the nachos. The burritos are just not worth it anymore. Too bad
