El Gallo Giro's tacos are the stuff of legend, the kinds of tacos you make multi-block detours for. Try their roast chicken taco which is a favorite of Aziza chef Mourad Lahlou. Read more

Even if you want to give burritos a pass, the tacos from this small, authentic Mission food truck are a must-eat. Try the lengua, carnitas and carne asada tacos, served up fast and hot with jalapeños. Read more

Generous portions of quesadilla and burrito. Burrito has more rice than I would have liked. The meats are very flavorful and excellently seasoned. Their salsa is the most outstanding item.

The carnitas tacos are unreal. Two thumbs up, best tacos I've had in the mission as of yet.

Arguably, this truck serves the best al pastor in town, but people go back for their tomato-braised chicharrones tacos, and their lengua too. Read more

Really disappointed. Rice on tacos? Forgot avocado on our order. Asked for spicy, barely got jalapeños. :(
