If you haven't ordered the alambres, you're missing out! Carne asada, bacon, and cheese with avocado, rice, beans, and tortillas on the side.
Upvoted Mar 10- Chefs FeedApril 5, 2017This is the original one hidden in the lane with plenty of space and locals. I got super burrito with avocado and cream cheese as well as chorizo. So delicious but so fulfilling. Read more

- This is my go to spot for burritos and quesadillas. Raised in SF, it's always been my favorite. Plus, only place you can still get a super burrito for under $7!
- Chefs FeedApril 5, 2017This is the best late-night snack in SF. The line moves quickly and the green salsa is a must. Read more
Ben RussoMarch 20, 2016The best carne, carnitas, chorizo burritos around. But behold: the super suiza shrimp quesadilla. And a horchata.
Don't even think about that super–size burrito without putting your heart surgeon on standby. Alert the nearest gastrointestinal & liver pathology department in case you make it through the last bite. Read more
Jeffrey ZhaoJanuary 21, 2017Amazing place. Try the tripas, cabeza, and lengua tacos. Tripas tacos are the best I've ever had, and they singe them so they're crispy.- Randolph Bradley RojasNovember 15, 2013I had their "Torta Mexicana" it was great!!! Juicy tender steak, complimented by beans, lettuce, tomato, and Sour Cream. Definitely recommend it.
Christine ClarkeAugust 8, 2014Anything al pastor (tacos, burritos, etc) is amazing. Their breakfast burrito is also amazing. You really can't go wrong here.
Order a burrito de carne asada, not steak. They're so good! And don't forget the salsa verde!
- Randolph Bradley RojasAugust 17, 2014The carne asada burritos are great, and economical. So are their tacos, which can also be ordered with beans and rice.
- Danielle McIntoshAugust 17, 2014El pastor, pollo asado, and carne asada burritos are all delicious! Try the salsa verde too. Mmmm...
Daniel GraysonOctober 22, 2018This place is an institution, and for good reason. Don't deny yourself the burrito.- Looking for an authentic Mexican experience? Get birria on the weekends. Goat soup to kill that lingering hangover.
Solid and huge tacos! Carne asada burritos are never a bad choice
The Al Pastor super nachos are probably the best $10 meal for 2 in SF
Rebecca GobersteinMarch 18, 2012Classic Mexican burrito stop in the heart of the Mission. The quesadilla and burritos are my favorites.
Order to go and you'll most likely get chips for free instead of paying extra at the cashier.
Joselito SeringJanuary 13, 2011If you go up to the counter and say "super quesadilla de carne asada con frijoles negro y horchata para aqui por favor" you should be all good.
Michael GoodeJanuary 4, 2015Best carne asada #burrito in the nation! 24th mission is still my fav. This location has slightly tastier beans & salsa
Overlooked, but the tortas are pretty bomb. Go al pastor.
Tim VetterSeptember 3, 2010Caution on the tipper recommending the "tripe" burrito: "tripa" == intestine, not tripe (stomach). Good all the same, if you're not put off by organ meats.
Phillip ChinOctober 16, 2009If you're a fan of tripe, you must order the tripe burrito. They fry the tripe so it's a little bit crispy... a little bit salty... but 100% awesome.
Susan LohJuly 29, 2011Don't bother with the burritos. Super suiza quesadilla will blow your f'n mind!
The rated 80 last time but rate 77 but I'm still eating here still good
- Make sure you have some cash in your pockets, credit cards are no longer accepted.
Call in your order if your hungry...sometimes long lines for great, fresh food.
Kevin BradleyMay 31, 2010I live in DC and someone opened my eyes... this place has ruined Chipotle for me, the burritoes are MONEY and less then $5 bucks, WTF
