    Don Pisto's tacos are petite but full of flavor, arriving in an order of two, no sides, on handmade tortillas. The carne asada are a great bet for those who love steak but hate the chunky clunks. Read more

    Ok. I have eaten at some of the best Taco places in SoCal and I will just say the asada tacos here are great The salsa is epicly spicy. Like "lawd Jesus there's fire" hot. Great spot.

    Mexican in North Beach? Yes. Their chips & salsa are some of the best in SF. The goal? A fancy approach to Mexican street food. Multiple taco varieties to choose from, all less than $10 for a pair.

    Amazing fish tacos but the sangria not so good. They have a couple more veggie options not included in the menu. Ask the server, very helpful and will walk you through the entire menu

    Tacos, pulled pork, literally everything I tried here was incredible. Staff was very accommodating and even gave us free margs for the wait being so long! And they were sooooo good too :)

    Drinks slightly watered down but You can go to Mexico & not get food this good. Ham & poblano scramble. Light, fluffy eggs with a perfect amount of smoked ham. Great guac & fresh chips made here.

    Not the most affordable place in the city ($38 for two small meals and a glass of wine), but worth it. Make sure you check out the ceviche (very hot for me, but I'm european...) and the carnitas.

    I didn't believe a pork chop could be that good. Amazing. Ceviche sweet sour bitter sweet unusual. To die for. Sangria brilliant. the wait team super good fun atmosphere is electric.

    The Huevos Rancheros were an awesome combo of spicy, crunchy and warm - great way to warm up during foggy SF mornings. Pair it with a glass of sangria for your own little private morning fiesta! Read more

    The new benchmark for fish tacos. Enrique at the bar took great care of us. Also - they cook the Maine lobster in pork fat 😱

    The staff are friendly and the food is great. Get the sangria, and share some tacos + corn chips. The only place in the US that will leave you feeling satisfied rather than stuffed.

    I love the Al Pastor Tacos, Pollo Asado and Hamburgesa. They only sever the Hamburgesa on Wednesday nights now. Our Don Pisto's virgin guest said he rather eat the Hamburgesa than have a BJ... LoL!

    Good chips and salsa (and guac). Loved the shrimp tacos. They don't have a spirits license, so I'd recommend sticking to beer unless you really like agave wine.

    This place is SO GOOD! The BOTTOMSLESS brunch option is amazing, but beware! Drinks are strong! Eggs and Chorizo were really good, the GUAC was insanely good! 😊

    Don't miss the Bottomless Brunch for all you can drink. The carnitas tacos set the stage and the massive french toast brings it home.

    Service was hands-down the best I've ever had, anywhere. All the food was delicious, music was great! It was a little loud. Definitely go here!

    You are going to split Calamari, Tacos, and a Hamberguesa (cooked in bacon) and you are going to freak out about how good it is.

    Bottomless at brunch is a great value - waitress kept the refills coming and didn't rush us at all.

    Margarita, Best in Town, not made w/ tequila btw. Chips & Salsa, you will eat it all. Food ideal for sharing or not! Don't die without having had a Hamburgesa. Secret: Sunday drink specials = :)

    They're really generous with the bottomless drinks at brunch, but the acoustics (and bottomless mimosas) can make it too noisy to hold a conversation...

    Best food in a long time! We come here every Sunday night! Kitchen closes at 1230am! Great 2 dollar mexican beers and 3 dollar acai berry sangrias on sundays! Great hole in the wall. Amazing!

    Chorizo and mussels is the best. The meat is good, but the taco plates are small - share them!

    Bottomless mimosas and sangria, and super delicious brunch items. Try the Taco Senora Al Pestor on the brunch menu, you won't regret it!

    Everything....and I mean *everything* is amazing, delicious, and reasonably-priced. Try the lobster tacos, more than enough for 2 people to share, with leftovers!

    La Hamberguesa is sinful. They marinate the meat in Bacon and onion then smother it in their delicious guac. I highly recommend it.

    The enchiladas and lobster are both good, unless they don’t have them which is ridiculous and does happen.
