Delicious Tacos and Amazing Green Salsa!
I tried this restaurant for the first time to see what kind of food they offered. Usually, I stick to tacos at Mexican restaurants, but their tacos were something new and very delicious. I had the Taco Asada, which had great flavor and seasoning.
The best part was their green salsa; I didn't know what it was and had to ask for more. I told the staff that their tacos were the best I'd had in a very long time. I'm definitely coming back again.

Bomb Birria, Can't Believe I Missed It!
This spot is the bomb! I can't believe I walked past it so many times. The birria here is bomb, and I was thoroughly impressed with the food quality, giving it a perfect 5/5.
The service was also excellent, rated at 5/5, and the atmosphere was enjoyable with a score of 4/5. I had a great lunch experience here.

Good Burrito, High Price
My experience at the restaurant involved ordering a chicken burrito from the kiosk. The burrito itself was good, but the chicken was overly seasoned and a bit salty. The menu offers a variety of options that I'm interested in trying, however, at $20 for a burrito, I'm a little hesitant about the price.

Delicious Shawarma, Fiery Hot Sauce!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I had the Chicken Shawarma, which was absolutely delicious and full of flavor. The presentation was colorful.
I also tried the hot sauce, which was quite potent and brought tears to my eyes, but it was good. The staff was friendly and welcoming, providing great customer service. The ordering process was easy with the kiosk, and the seating area was comfortable.

Inconsistent Birria Experience
I've visited this restaurant twice. My first experience was on a busy Saturday night, ordering takeout after a theatre show. The birria was great, and the use of goat made it delicious.
Returning on a slow Thursday night, I was looking forward to the same quality, but the food was not the same. Dining in, I expected it to be even better, hot from the kitchen. I ordered the birria tacos, but was served quesabirria instead, despite being lactose intolerant.
The staff member didn't mention the price difference when giving the total. I noticed two out of three staff members had very red eyes, suggesting they might have been under the influence and mistakenly assumed my order. I might try it again on a Saturday, hoping the inconsistency is due to different cooks rather than lower quality ingredients.

Disappointing Experience Despite Decent Food
I was excited to try this place before a show at the Golden Gate Theater on a Saturday night, but I was rather disappointed. The food was decent, and for San Francisco prices, it was okay. We ordered the quesabirria combo and the chicken shawarma plate.
However, the wait time for the food to come out was long. The cleanliness was a major issue; tables were dirty, and no one was clearing trash. I observed four customers, including myself, spraying down our own tables because of the mess.
There was no clear system for picking up food orders, with some customers receiving receipts and others not. We only received half of our order. Random boxes were on counters, and there were no extra utensils, cups, or a water station.
It seemed like there was only one person at the counter and one in the kitchen. I have no idea what is going on in this place and will never dine in again.

Good food, terrible wait times
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. While the food was good, the wait time was horrendous. They seem to have kept the decor and broken soda machines from the previous tenant.
I ordered from the terminal, expecting a 20-minute wait, but it ended up being closer to 30 minutes. This was likely due to only having two people working the kitchen, who were also handling a lot of mobile orders. The place was empty when I arrived.
My only complaint about the Birria Ramen was the meager portion of radish – only three slices, which is nothing. I would not recommend this place for a quick meal as it is very slow due to the limited number of workers. The wait for the food ruined the overall experience; I can't imagine the wait time during lunch.

Delicious Falafel Burrito & Green Salsa!
I live in the neighborhood but hadn't given this place a shot, and thank goodness I came to my senses. A friend and I both got a falafel burrito, and they were delicious! The portion was pretty big, and the green salsa is *chefs kiss*.
Great place for a midday or late night pick me up.

Amazing Food and Atmosphere!
What a GEM 💎! This beautiful place is located in the corner of Market St. The food is amazing and so is the atmosphere. You can sit on one of the seats facing the streets and enjoy the hustle outside.
They also play music 🎶. Highly recommend!

Good Steak Burrito, A Bit Pricey
My experience at the restaurant involved trying their steak burrito, which was both good and large. There was quite a bit of rice, but still a decent amount of steak. I'd probably eat here again sometime.
It's not cheap, but nothing seems to be these days.
