Rob AtkinsonNovember 7, 2015One of the best burrito places in SF. Get a super burrito with carnitas. Try it grilled to get it a bit crispy and melted. Cash only
The best Chorizo burrito I've ever had. Watch out for the last bite, that spice collects at the bottom!
Jessie SSeptember 11, 2017Super busy place, so make sure you get a spot quick! Yummo burrito and great guacamole. Would definitely line up and go here again
AvaAugust 15, 2014One of the few places I can find a vegetarian taco that doesn't leave me feeling like I'm lacking ingredients...so tasty. Also very good prices and short waits for food.
If you want to be the taco the town, ask for it "crispy cheesy" style. It's a taco with a normal soft shell wrapped around a slightly crispy shell with cheese sandwiched between the two.
OndrejMay 10, 2015A veggie burrito was moister than I'm used to because there's no rice in it, but it was still very good. There was a line of 20 people by the time they opened, which says something.
Elliot DanforthMay 28, 2015It's as good as they say it is. Carnitas gets all the attention, but the carne asada is killer too.
Tiffany KuJuly 13, 2012Went to Self Edge with a friend, asked the guy there where the best Mexican place food was in Mission, and he said La Taqueria! Best carne asada taco ever, and pretty cheap too.

Jane MaskellAugust 16, 2016Everything is good here!! I had the veggie burrito, and now I can't go anywhere else.
Get your burrito 'El Dorado' and they'll fry it up on the grill after it's wrapped!- Bence FaludiNovember 4, 2017Really good burritos and the sauces are fantastic. It can be overcrowded and you may have to wait to get a seat.
Derrick YuDecember 7, 2017The fame associated with the place makes it very busy. Service is fast. Plan for a short wait in line, and a long wait for a table.
Norbert HuJune 14, 2014Get the authentic nod of approval from the staff with an order of beef head and beef tongue tacos!
- Caro SchieferApril 30, 2017Wow. How long can you queuing for simple Mexican food. It was totally worth it!!! Best quesadillas in town. No matter how long the queue is.
- AJApril 20, 2016One of my absolutely all time favorites. Was thinking about the chorizo taco the whole flight in from London. Never disappoints!
Patrick LabadieDecember 7, 2012Carnitas tacos here are legendary. Get them el dorado style (crispy) and don't forget to add cheese, sour cream and avocado. Welcome to taco heaven!
Even when "burritos" are the insignia here, you should definitely go for the Super Tacos of Carne Asada with everything with soft tortilla
Emily KateJuly 27, 2019Super sized beef quesadilla is the BEST i’ve ever had ! Chips and salsa would be better with sour cream extra on top!
XiulungJanuary 17, 2015Their tacos are bigger than most other places but their burritos are smaller. Chips are extra. The meat is good but the veggie burrito is excellent.
Prakash NairAugust 24, 2016Currently the best burrito I have had in the US. Get it Dorada style (toasted)
Li LeApril 30, 2015Super Chicken burrito was chicken breast very usual made the burrito worth the price.:-)
Truly exceptional burritos. I love the super carne asada burrito el dorado style. Be prepared for a wait.
Katherine M.July 16, 2014Kickass aguas frescas, especially mango and watermelon. I like the cabeza tacos and the quesadillas. A neighborhood favorite.
Andrew MarksJune 27, 2015The best and most flavourful carne asada burrito in the Bay Area. A must try for Mexican food enthusiasts.
Bobak EsfandiariSeptember 18, 2014Everything is delicious. Look up their secret menu online for even more awesome selections. This place is a MUST SEE.
Ask for the secret special... Tacos with both a soft and crispy shell. Get carne asada, apply salsa verde, subsequently enjoy the mariachi band that starts to play in your head
Javier Cambon SanjurjoOctober 12, 2014Strong carnitas supertacos (el dorado and regular). Loved the horchata! The super burrito is very good, but cannot beat the one from el farolito.
Max BrautigamAugust 5, 2019amazing burritos! get them super, and have them add extra meat and grill it!! I know I’m going back.
Krista HoffmanJune 7, 2013Chorizo tacos and guac are ridiculously good. I also appreciate the fact that they don't cover everything with cilantro (not everyone likes it!).
Brendan CurranJuly 9, 2014Order the off-menu "el dorado" taco! It's a crispy taco wrapped in a soft tortilla, and it's as good as gold!
Jeremy PerontoApril 7, 2016One of the best burritos I've ever had. Be assertive, order, find a seat, dabble in the table salsa, enjoy.
Cash only. One of the simplest, yet most flavorful, dishes I’ve had! They skip the rice and go heavy on filling!
meganJuly 21, 2015Repeat after me: the line wraps down the counter, away from the door. And get the chicken super burrito obviously.
HanahJuly 5, 2016Must try their burritos which exclude rice. Nice contrast to the other burritos in the neighborhood
Chefs FeedApril 5, 2017They don't add rice! They also don't use any extra fillers. You must experience their burritos to understand. Read more
Chuck RoslofMay 6, 2018A famous taqueria that serves great burritos; they differ from most places in the Mission by not having rice.
Labib RahmanNovember 15, 2016If you're here because of the 538 bracket - this is your order: super burrito, refried beans, carnitas, Dorado style
Kendal CockrelSeptember 27, 2017The hype is real but the burritos are delicious. Get them dorado style!
Rebeca GarciaJuly 10, 2018Super steak burrito was the best I've ever ate! Everything was fresh & tasty! Cool spot mariachi band serenaded us!
BediJanuary 23, 2016Carne asada is from heaven. If I am around mission, I won't hesitate to to walk here for their burittos.
Yaron SNovember 27, 2014Delicious food and solid Mexican joint. Standard menu with lots of add-ons so read carefully. ****Cash only
- Jesper BylundMay 26, 2023This is the best burrito in the world. In a class of its own. Took the crown from Farolito.
Carnitas Burrito con todo, dorado style. A superlative burrito that's easier to eat than the taco.
tina susuMay 12, 2014The tacos are HUGE! I ordered 3 with everything as could barely finish 1 and a half of another. Carnitas and chicken had abundant meat.
