My favorite burritos in SF! Get a shrimp burrito cooked to order with sautéed peppers and onions in a rich butter sauce. Also order spicy chicken (red) or mild chicken (green) burritos (not on menu).

Outstanding chorizo taco, and my carnitas burrito was excellent as well. Top three taquerias I've ever been to. There's infinite choices in the mission, but make your life easy and just go here.

Carnitas here is soooo good. They fry it right in front of you. Power nachos to go is a fantastic thing to bring to any pre-game. They load it up with everything.

Fantastic food. But especially surprised by the fact that they made our serving of guacamole from scratch on order! 🤯 (it was fantastic btw)

Favorite taqueria. Carne asada dinner plate is huge and comes with rice, choice of cheesy beans, salad, guacamole, salsa, and chips.

Great full tacos. The lengua was awesome. The seasoned ground beef and carnitas were good. Try the refried beans in your tacos

the nachos are the best i’ve ever had. it’s an ungodly amount of nachos for a single person and they are so good.

Carnitas super taco is a great portion of food for the price! One of my most frequented mission joints for sure

For vegetarians, they have a Vegetable California Burrito with mushrooms, zucchini, bell pepper, broccoli, tofu, rice and beans. Sounds promising.

fresh tasting burrito. they fry up the carnitas again when you order to crisp it up.

Love tacos here. Have a quick meal. Coke and special taco.

Good bean quesadillas. They’re small so get two or three for a full meal.
Jenna SJune 14, 2016
the crispy tacos here. get the al pastor
Jimmy HookerAugust 7, 2014
Delicious carnitas burritos, but the salsa is just 'so so', and I consider the salsa to be the huge differentiator in the mission.

Great carnitas tacos, pretty cheap too! Avoid the horchata though

Try the guac and chips - they make their own guacamole from scratch with every order.

I'm not even a vegetarian but the Vegetarian California burrito is a hell of a deal and tastes amazing.

Love this place, solid taqueria, though they skimp a little on chips when you order a taco. A burrito, they hook it up, but for a taco, they skimp …

I loved the super veg taco, no mushrooms which made me happy but if you don't do dairy make sure to let them know!

Yes, you can definitely have exquisite burritos and tacos here, but you MUST have their chicken nachos at some point!!!
