La Taqueria in San Francisco

The carne asada burrito was literally the best Ive ever had. Never had one with that much flavor!!!

The best burrito in SF. I ve tried many different burritos and this is still my favorite and worth the hype. Yes, there is no rice but it doesn t matter and you honestly don t miss it. I love their chips and pico too. Get a carne asada burrito dorado style (seared tortilla) and eat it asap. I don t get super because you honestly don t need it. Seating is communal tables and turns over quickly.

Great food. Fast and friendly service.

The best, Come from. Across the Bay just for their tacos. Food

Best burritos in San Francisco! Fresh and tasty.

Its the classic Mission burrito, no frills and no fuss. Get it dorado-style with carne asada for the good stuff. There isnt really table service but the food comes out quickly and people rotate through.

Carne Asade Super Burrito, it s a must-have, enough said.

Love this place, love the food. Weve been coming here for years, and the energy and quality has never wavered. They only use whole beans, which I prefer, and the simple vegetarian burrito is so flavorful and sustaining. They also have a good selection of excellent agua frescas. And all reasonably priced. Whenever I can get there, I go!

Closed Monday and Tuesday, so only the best taqueria anywhere five days a week. The bean burrito is perfection. I get my tacos super style.i dont stand in line many places, but this is an exception.

Tried two super burritos dorado style (extra crispy): carne asada and lengua. It was very tasty (especially with the salsa) but I ve had better. Service was nice and quick, vibe was good.

Cons: - Very poor vegetarian options; just beans and rice and no sauteed veges - Raw tortilla in the burrito - Very wet filling which made it a little messy to eat Pros: - Fresh feeling - Well priced - Quick service

Excellent tacos and aguas frescas. Its amazing this place. Food

I wish you had updated your hours here for thanksgiving week before I spent a half hour coming here

Good. It s fine. But over hyped.

Loved it. Probably the beat burrito Ive ever eaten in my life. Carne asada was amazing and tasted great! We hopped to a few Mexican places and this was by far the best. Fairly priced and was full for the rest of the day.

It seems to be a famous Taco and Burrito restaurant around here. I recommend it as a delicious and not heavy meal. There are usually a lot of customers, so we recommend going early and ordering before taking a seat.

I dont come here for service or elegant dinning environment, but mainly for its food, drink and the cozy and friendly atmosphere. The top choice for me is Cow tongue (lengua) quesadilla. Pork meat is a good choice too, and the steak is a bit too dry for my taste. Their choices and quality of juice are wonderful. Top choice is Mango (not sour at all!), watermelon (very refreshing) and cantaloupe (surprisingly good!). Better order via phobe and pickup if you dont want to wait for sitting in dining as the space and parking spaces near by are limited.

Pretty busy place and might not get inside seatings. Closed Monday and Tuesday. They have cash and card option (+$0.25 for card transaction), menu near the door for faster ordering process, and pickup next to the door. They have fewer protein options compared to other places. I ordered the pork burrito, nothing fancy or extra, but its not wrapped as tight on both ends since they dont use the largest tortillas. No rice in the burritos, but the salsa is not evenly distributed throughout the burrito so it end up tasting dryer than Im used to.

Incredible mission burrito, truly exceptional. A bit of a queue, but worth the wait. We agreed the burrito was way better than the tacos if you re undecided!

The carne asada was amazing & service was quick

This has got the be the best Mexican food in town!

The best burrito

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes Food

Delicious tacos and agua fresca! Don t be intimidated by the lines as it moves relatively fast

Great food had

Delicious place!!

The food was solid, definitely americanized Mexican food, but in the best way possible

The language is delicious!!!

Very Extraordinary experience Very much appreciated the Burritos in best

Cheap and quick burrito spot. Got the super burrito and the chips with guac and salsa. Portions are big. The burritoes do not have rice and have a very goopy texture but the flavors were good. There were no salsas provided. I think I personally prefer El Farolito but this place was also good

Very tasty. I order beef & pork burrito dorado. the best burrito.

Very loud but worth it

I forgot to ask no beans, my fault. But they didnt ask me what kind of beans, if did i would have ask no beans, basically my burrito ruined by soaked by pinto beans ( i know most people like beans) also i didnt realize there wasnt rice. If no beans and with rice might have worth 5 star, next time maybe i ll try taco and quesadillas

Today is ordered the loaded chicken quisidella, which was, I thought, chicken, cheese, guacamole, n sour cream. Mine had no cheese on it! Was I supposed to ask for cheese? The chicken was cut into large chunks. I had to open it up n pull the chicken. La Taqueria....please pull the chicken!!!! Or, use smaller chunks. Disappointed with my order today )-:

Vegetarian burrito very good

Becausevits nasty and they put a lot of guacamole

Great Mexican food they pump it out fast

On my visit to San Francisco I had to go twice because the food is so good. The tacos are delicious, my favorite was the chorizo one. The burritos are huge and their meats are juicy. The quesadilla is also delicious. The roast beef is another level! If you live or come to visit SFO YOU HAVE TO GO TO LA TAQUERIA. !!!!

Excellent burrito and tacos

Best Taqueria ever !! In mission district, perfect food and service, a must do in San Francisco, this is part of your experience. Thanks to the team. Food

Best burrito I ve ever had! Also the cantaloupe agua fresca was phenomenal. Even got a little music performance (Sunday a little after noon) If you re visiting SF you MUST come here

Omg the best tacos in town. The cabeza and lengua are a must

Still the best assada in Northern California Parking: Circle the block until you find a spot Food : 5/5 |

Delicious!!!

So gooood :)

Rounded up to 3 stars. The fresa aqua Fresca was good. Im full, of mediocre tacos and regrets. Ordered regular tacos, chicken and carnitas. They were soggy and strangely tasteless. Even the salsa was bland. What happened to this place, it used to be so good. Wheelchair accessibility: There is a low threshold that is flush with the sidewalk and interior floor. Looks manageable.

Best Burrito I ve ever had.

Customer service definitely needs to improve. Cooks were very rude, and my order was taken incorrectly.

Very good burritos, worth the detour!

This place gets busy during lunch hours or if there are events nearby. You cannot take a seat if ordering to go, and the wait isnt that bad.

Definitely the best quesadillas in the world. You ve to eat the food immediately before it becomes saggy. I usually get the steak quesadilla

Ive been eating here since I was a kid. My mom grew up blocks away and my aunt used to have a shop a block away. I grew up on their tacos and theyre still the best tacos Ive ever had anywhere.

Ordered ahead and swung by to grab our burritos on the way to the airport. One of the best burritos I ve eaten in my entire life. While it was a little pricier than I expected, they were HUGE and much better than anything I would have found at the airport, anyways! I purchased the super carne asada burrito dorado style, and my husband had the same but with carnitas. You can t go wrong!

As good as they say

Chef s kiss. This was amazing. We had the burritos and the tacos. Everyone loved it.

I don t get the hype. Not much flavor at all. I got a chicken taco and like someone mentioned before it was a big hunk of flavorless boiled chicken breast. The salsa and pico were not interesting enough to save it. The service was really friendly tho. Maybe it s all about the burritos

On our visit to the Mission District we couldnt miss trying one of the best-rated taquerias. We tried the super taco with carnitas and a carne asada burrito. Both were very tasty but I would recommend the carnitas option for sure. The jalapeño sauce is also very delicious. They also have natural juices made on the day, so we opted for the pineapple one, spectacular.

Food was made hastily, refried beans were not mashed, everything lacked salt. As you can see the quesadilla significantly lacked cheese! Food

Have to get a burrito here every time I visit SF. Delicious. I always go for the carnitas burrito, dorado style so it is grilled... So tasty. Great agua frescas and cups and salsa too. You wont be disappointed. Update 10/24: still amazing. Love these burritos.

This place is a must try! Best Mexican Ive ever had! Easy 5stars.. I come here every time Im in the area

The people who serve are super despots, the one in front too

Best burrito in town! Kid-friendliness: Small corn quesadillas and high chairs Food : 5/5 |

I think it s the best burrito I ve ever had! The chorizo was amazing. My family also had the carne asada, chicken, and carnitas. All were delicious! I almost got an extra burrito to take back to the hotel with me because it was so good, but I was full!

This is THE taqueria to do in San Francisco. Mexican atmosphere with all the staff speaking Spanish even with the customers. Very good tacos made fresh. Fair price.

Prices are high sides

The most delicious tacos in the world! I hate cilantro and avocado, but thanks to the food I ate here, I realized for the first time that avocado and cilantro could be delicious. The spacing between seats is not wide and it has a friendly atmosphere with many locals, so I recommend it to those who eat and wake up quickly.

Best burrito in sf - worth the hype. carne asada >

Dont be fooled. This place just got randomly assigned best burrito in mission title. Theres nothing special about the burrito, even if you order it Dorado style, which just means they make it crispy. Theres a huge line, the people in the area are sketchy AF, and youll be disappointed with the food. Their prices are quite high for what you get due to the hype.

The best of the best, rich flavours, no added rice filler in the burritos, making the flavours intense and delicious.

Delicious and the best burritos around. No rice fillers, rich flavours.

It s overrated food is solid but I have had better Mexican (in L.A. and NYC)

5 stars. The tacos and burritos are delicious, but my favorite is the quesadilla. Carne asada is my go-to filling, and I usually get whatever Im ordering dorado style where they crisp up the tortilla. Sometimes I go super with the sour cream and guac, but its not necessary. Always get my food spicy in addition to having them add grilled serrano peppers. Staff is hard-working; they run a tight ship. Gotta get there early or be prepared to wait in line.

Best in the STATE !! Take it from a Mexican :) Food

Get the burrito dorado style. No beans. Otherwise it s soggy. It s alright if you re in the area. La cumbre in San Mateo just as good.

I love it

The food here is real good i still prefer el farolito personally but thats me. There meat is definitely excellent quality just wish they put some rice in them burritos didnt live up to the hype to me but thats only because thats ALOT of hype but the food is excellent

Hey this Buritos so good also people work there its so nice and super friendly

Best Mexican food I ve ever had, nothing to add

This is a really great Mexican food joint! I ve tried their carne asada super taco and super burrito. I really like that there is no rice in the burrito. Only note is that you ll want to make sure you order the burrito el dorado style so that they toast it for you. When the burrito is not toasted the skin is very soft, so unless that is your preference I would ask for a burrito dorado.

The beans!

Noisy and chaotic. Food was standard but greasier.

Do not leave SF without trying one of their burritos. Carne Asada Burrito, Dorado Style for the WIN. Flour quesadilla with Carnitas and Chorizo for the DOUBLE WIN.

Soft tortillas for burritos, good selection of meats!

Incredible, authentic and delicious! Worth lining up for. Highly recommend the tacos and burritos - the carne asada (beef) and vegetarian options were fantastic!

Good tacos and burritos, fast food restaurant with good quality

Recommend getting the burritos dorado style! The carne asada is super flavorful. I also love that they have lengua as an option. The lengua is cooked well but could be better seasoned.

First mission burrito @ La Taqueria was fantastic. There was a bit of a wait but the line moved quickly. I got the chicken burrito, super style (sour cream / cheese / avocado) + dorado style (I think they fry it more?) + some chips/salsa/guac on the side. I didnt really understand what a wet burrito was like until I had this burrito. Each bite was juicy, full of flavor, and a fantastic texture in mouth. My friend and I deleted two burritos and were mostly silent throughout our meal, entirely focused on the meal. Id actually recommend not getting chips / salsa / guac. The salsa made the chips a bit soggy. If you can get chips without salsa, Id recommend that.

Asked for the extra toasted burrito. Was extra soggy.

One of a kind.

Some of the best food I had in SF, definitely the best Mexican food I had in SF. Big portions, really tasty, 2 tacos were enough for me but I couldn t resist a third one

A historic restaurant, and well worth the hype. I recommend the carne asada, preferably in a burrito, though any other way works too. Their salsa is spicy, so youve been warned. Their fruit juices are a must if youre hitting that salsa... Dont be daunted by the line outside. It goes fast. Vegetarian options: Not a ton of options, but all ingredients are of such high quality, that any vegetarian will enjoy it.

My fave place since my childhood

Glad they fixed the line ordering system, always quality dorado style burritos

Really good tacos and burritos... But dont buy any drinks from the tap (e.g. Cola). The drinks taste of chlorine. Thats why only 4 stars.

Once was enough!!! I feel ripped-off and will never eat at La Taqueria again. Two super tacos and a drink cost $25, and yes, they call THAT a super taco! What a joke! The food was not bad, but the potions were exceedingly small and did not come with anything. All you get an anemic looking taco folded in half on a half-empty plate along with a plastic knife and fork ... and, they dont have grilled chicken either!!! I regret wasting my money for this tiny meal and for not going to El Toro on the corner of Valencia at 17th Street insted! Honestly, the portions at El Toro are literally double that of La Taqueria, and no word of a lie when I say that El Toro is half the price too! Furthermore, at EL Toro customers are given chips and many choices of salsa and this is all included in the final (and lower) price, but not at La Taqueria where they simply leave the other side of your plate empty, which just isnt appetizing! And, at El Toro you dont have to ask for limes. At El Toro they give you limes and also roasted whole jalapenos! Who has ever heard of leaving a Mexican restautant hungry? I didnt think that was even possible, but I experinced it for myself yesterday! Yes, I was hungry after leaving La Taqueria and wont ever eat there again. Want more for half the price with fantastic quality .... go to El Toro on Valencia at 17th.

Not the best burrito at all! A burrito without RICE aint no burrito! Not worth the long wait. Better off at a taco stand or food truck.

Food Quality is always superb! But the burrito keeps on getting smaller as the prices keep going up! Left still hungry after the Carne Asada Super Burrito, more like mini Burrito with great flavor with inflated prices for being a popular location

Very delicious Mexican restaurant, the tacos are great and the portions are huge

Best Dorados tacos ever! If youre visiting San Francisco for the first time. This is a must stop Taqueria

Don t let the lines scare you - it moves quickly! Great tasting tacos, guacamole, and salsa. My favorite was the carnitas followed by chicken. Dietary restrictions: Easy for no dairy

Believe everything you hear this place is awesome with the best ingredients.

Best tacos and burritos in the whole world

A real pleasure Despite a large queue, everything is smooth and the service is quality

Hella good..

Enough

Very authentic taqueria, food was quick and even though there was a queue it was very fast. Vegetarian options: Not very vegan friendly, asked to remove the cheese and they did it, but overall you need to ask.

Beef tongue burrito was delicious

Short line for once. Got the super tacos with carne asada. Quick in and out that never disappoints. Loaded when avocado, sour cream, and salsa!!

Great food overall! I tried a couple of tacos and the famous meat burrito and they did not disappoint. Meat was tender and flavorful and quantities were decent. Service was very fast too. I would definitely come back!

Delicious!! The highest quality meats I ve had in mission and SF Mexican eateries. Loved the crane asada and pollo tacos. Dietary restrictions: Easy for gluten intolerance and dairy allergies

Amazing burrito! As expected, you line up outside to place your order. You then go inside and get your order at the counter and wait for seating. It can be a bit hectic but it is so worth it!

Best taco and burrito I have ever had! Make sure you get your burrito dorado style. You ll thank me later.

Crispy super taco de lengua. Whats up

Classic Mexican spot that the locals love. If you visit Mission District you must come and try the carne asada, it s the best I ve ever had

Best Quesadilla I ve ever had in my life.

Authentic, delicious, the way it should be.

Amazing steak anything! Great food, but you will be sitting in a line waiting to get to the check out counter and then sit down. Wish this place did t close so early.

The best burritos I ve ever had! Life-changing. We got the carne asada super burritos with a side of guacamole. Delicious!

10 stars Kid-friendliness: Great Wheelchair accessibility: Not enough space

Im assuming the people rating this restaurant so well have never actually tried authentic Mexican food because this was not it. The pico de gallo is good but everything else is so bland and has tiny portions. El farolito is 100x better. Go there.

Thank you

The food was bland.

Crunchy taco super, veggie burrito and chips-salsa-guacamole Good enough quality as per price.

This place has the best burritos Ive ever had. Make sure to request them to be grilled. Get here early because its a pretty small place and you might be waiting awhile.

Best taqueria in Town!!

Super delicious tacos and burritos! Tap pay at their takeout counter. Chips and guac are not worth it because they lack flavor and salt. Worth the hype! Their veggie menu is great. Dietary restrictions: Corn tortillas for tacos, flour only for burritos. Parking: Street parking is paid till 6pm, always busy!

This is honestly some of the WORST Mexican food Ive had in my entire life. Completely bland and flavorless. I think these people have no idea what cumin, cilantro and lime are. I was SO disappointed. I am from Texas and learned to cook in a Mexican restaurant, so I am picky. But I was deeply surprised at how bad this place is especially w the rave reviews and lines around the block. If you actually like Mexican food avoid at all costs.

This is the place if you want a San Francisco Mission burrito. Probably the tastiest carnitas I ve had. Burrito is large but not overwhelming.

Pretty rude staff. They didnt include the one thing from my order I came to this restaurant for. Food tastes pretty good though.

This place has fallen off - not my favorite mission burrito

The experience and service were overall good but the food was mediocre. I went there on a Sunday morning around 11:45, and there was no line to get in. I got two carnitas tacos, and upon ordering, they told me the tacos came with beans and Pico. I said it was ok thinking theyd be on the side. Speaking as a Mexican from Mexico city that grew up in Socal, I was unimpressed by a few things. First, I dont think their tortillas are fresh. It seems that they use prepackaged tortillas from the grocery store. On top of that, the tortillas were slightly cold. Secondly, they put beans and pico de gallon IN the taco, but give no limes, cilantro or onions (I didnt ask, but also didnt see them anywhere). The meat was already dry, and the beans just made the taco drier. It didnt make sense to me that they would even think to put the beans in the tacos. The Pico was just ok, and the salsa was not very flavorful. Overall I was disappointed with the food, and I did not think it was worth 10 dollars plus tip. I dont think this restaurant deserves the hype it gets. I havent tried the burritos, and Im thinking thats probably what people regularly order, but I think that if a restaurant has a 4.6 on Google, I can reasonably expect all of its food to be a 4.6, not just one item.

Everyone talks about this place. Its the place to get the original San Francisco burrito that has no rice as a filler. The problem with no rice is that the beans soaked into the tortilla and made eating it a mess. It did not hold up after a few bites. The carne asada tacos were very flavorful, nice char to the meat. The carnita taco was good and juicy. The green sauce thats on every table is a great compliment to the tacos. Very original flavors, kind of that satisfying yet wait, Im looking for more. Its very good, but its also not up to the hype everyone puts it to be.

Got a bean and carne asada burrito and hands down, this is the best carne asada of my life!!!! So tasty and affordable! Come here if you want great quality food!!!

Got the super burrito. Definitely wasn t so super. From the reviews I was highly disappointed. For $16 the burrito was not large. Part of my chicken was inedible and had bones in it. Was also not spicy when I chose spicy. Very meh.

So delicious!!!!

Great vegetarian burrito! Service was quick even with a line out the door. Staff was very efficient. Get your burrito grilled to make it even better

Great tasting carne asada burrito Ive ever tasted in the mission. Fast and courteous service even if there was a long line outside. Have to come back and try the items in the menu. Vegetarian options: They offer vegetarian in each items in their menu. Parking: Very busy park of the mission . Best to be walking than driving. Wheelchair accessibility: Some what tight but can accommodate

Easily the best Beef Super Burrito Ive had in the city. Love the way they grill the meat.

Great spot for tacos or burritos.

Well done simple stuff

La Taqueria is a well-functioning snack bar that pleasantly surprised us, even though we originally expected it to be a restaurant. The process is clearly structured: You order at the door, pay inside, get a number and then pick up your food and drinks. The decor is simple, with long benches to sit on. Theres a constant flow of comings and goings, which doesnt make it a place for casual dining, but is perfect for a quick, tasty bite. The food itself is really tasty, the menu is clear and the prices for the tacos are listed per unit. A taco is very large, so 2-3 tacos make up a good portion. We had way too much, but it tasted excellent. Whats particularly worth mentioning is that you can watch the chefs preparing food, which creates a great atmosphere. A small negative point is the plastic cutlery. Nevertheless, we recommend La Taqueria as an excellent snack bar. Its a little outside the tourist spots, but definitely worth a visit for any taco lover!

Great for walk up quick dining. Delicious carnitas super taco super messy but worth it!

Food is quite good! I had a burrito and it was as expected. Getting a table takes a little wait. The staff is helpful but if youre not used to ordering at the door and then sitting when a table opens up (or if others around you arent used to that and try to skip) it can get a bit hectic. Will go back soon Im sure!

They sale the most delicious tacos and burritos, in all San Francisco

I went to eat tacos, and they were okay, but not amazing. Im not sure why the lines are so long, but they move quickly, and the service is good.

GET THE BURRITO DORADO STYLE. The burritos are so freaking good it s insane. Big fan of this place.
