My favorite burritos in SF! Get a shrimp burrito cooked to order with sautéed peppers and onions in a rich butter sauce. Also order spicy chicken (red) or mild chicken (green) burritos (not on menu).

Outstanding chorizo taco, and my carnitas burrito was excellent as well. Top three taquerias I've ever been to. There's infinite choices in the mission, but make your life easy and just go here.

Carnitas here is soooo good. They fry it right in front of you. Power nachos to go is a fantastic thing to bring to any pre-game. They load it up with everything.

Fantastic food. But especially surprised by the fact that they made our serving of guacamole from scratch on order! 🤯 (it was fantastic btw)

For vegetarians, they have a Vegetable California Burrito with mushrooms, zucchini, bell pepper, broccoli, tofu, rice and beans. Sounds promising.

Favorite taqueria. Carne asada dinner plate is huge and comes with rice, choice of cheesy beans, salad, guacamole, salsa, and chips.

the nachos are the best i’ve ever had. it’s an ungodly amount of nachos for a single person and they are so good.

fresh tasting burrito. they fry up the carnitas again when you order to crisp it up.

Carnitas super taco is a great portion of food for the price! One of my most frequented mission joints for sure
Paul CunninghamJuly 18, 2015
Great full tacos. The lengua was awesome. The seasoned ground beef and carnitas were good. Try the refried beans in your tacos
Jimmy HookerAugust 7, 2014
Delicious carnitas burritos, but the salsa is just 'so so', and I consider the salsa to be the huge differentiator in the mission.

Great carnitas tacos, pretty cheap too! Avoid the horchata though
BommySeptember 29, 2019
Good bean quesadillas. They’re small so get two or three for a full meal.

Love tacos here. Have a quick meal. Coke and special taco.

Try the guac and chips - they make their own guacamole from scratch with every order.

Love this place, solid taqueria, though they skimp a little on chips when you order a taco. A burrito, they hook it up, but for a taco, they skimp …

Some of the best carnitas in town. Whole wheat and spinach tortillas if you ask.

I'm not even a vegetarian but the Vegetarian California burrito is a hell of a deal and tastes amazing.

Burritos are fantastic. Shame the free corn chips don't come with salsa.

The carnitas are carved from the shoulder of some tiny delicious pig god

I loved the super veg taco, no mushrooms which made me happy but if you don't do dairy make sure to let them know!
CJ BryanJanuary 22, 2015
Vegan tofu burrito with guacamole is super tasty.

Super burrito! El pastor! Black beans.

Go to El Buen Sabor in the Mission, order the nachos (I recommend chicken). Marvel at the perfection that is the double layer broiler technique.
Dave SteerOctober 31, 2014
Best burrito in San Francisco. And that's saying a lot.

The super burritos and the murals

Don't bother with the tamales. They're alright but on the dry and hard side. The super nachos are amazing though!! :D
