    If you twirl in front of the truck three times as you give your order and the taco trucks give you a thumbs up you'll for sure get extra beans on your burrito

    Al pastor tacos are best in city. Hard to get fewer than 4. Get a burrito somewhere else though

    Stop in once for tacos after you pick up that weird A/V cable you needed from Best Buy and soon you'll be mindlessly stopping in for a bite any time you pass a member of the Tonayense fleet. Read more

    While their tacos are obviously good, I actually the like the burritos better here. Not as huge and dry as many in SF, definitely order with guacamole, hold the crema and cheese (too rich).

    Get the tacos & get a taste of multiple meats! They are small so mix n match. Don't be afraid of things like lengua and cabeza.

    Love their carne asada burrito for its serious street-food scrappiness. What this burrito lacks in girth it makes up for in grease and flavor. Read more

    One of the original Mexican food trucks. Very much worth seeking out.

    Substantial tacos loaded with meat. 😍 🌮First taco truck where credit card is the preferred method of payment!

    Best SF tacos, IMO. This one is the best of the 3 El Tonayense taco trucks on Harrison St. The second best is the one in front of Best Buy and I'd just avoid the third one up towards 24th.

    Arguably the best tacos in the mission. If you see a white truck instead of the usual yellow truck, do not worry! Same taco truck, same great tacos - just a different truck in the fleet

    Make it Paleo by thinking of your tortilla as simply a "plate."

    Pollo Asado is awesome here, way better than the regular chicken. A mix of hot and mild sauce is delicious too!

    Their tacos are the BEST in the city for me. I normally have the Grilled Chix ones w/ Light Guac and their Salsa Roja... YUM!

    Yes, it’s on 4 wheels, and the dining room is nonexistent. But El Tonayense happens to be one of this city’s most revered Mexican food fixtures. – Samantha Brown

    The tacos are great, but if you're really hungry, the burritos are excellent also. I'd rate them my current favorite.
