Legit Food, Great Value!
My experience at this restaurant was legit! The food was delicious and affordable. It was busy when I arrived, but the crowd cleared out fairly fast.

Fantastic Chorizo Quesadilla and Great Value
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I tried the chorizo quesadilla and it was absolutely delicious. The portion sizes are generous for the price, offering great value for money. I also loved the salsas, which were fantastic. Overall, it's a great spot.

Delicious and Affordable North Beach Gem
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! It offers great value for the money, with everything being both delicious and cheap. It truly is a gem of North Beach. I particularly enjoyed the Breakfast burrito, quesadilla, and chicken fajitas. Honestly, you doubt you could go wrong ordering anything on the menu.

Nachos Served Upside Down, No Tip Given
I visited last night and ordered the pastor Super Nachos. Unfortunately, the container was given to me with the division side down, meaning the chips and ingredients were piled on top of the plastic "filler. " This could have easily been avoided by rotating the container. This experience is why I only drank my water and didn't leave a tip.

Disappointing Experience, Downhill Trend
My recent experiences at this restaurant have been disappointing. On my last two visits, my simple, single-item orders were incorrect. I was charged for a camarone burrito but received chicken. When I attempted to return the incorrect order, the restaurant was closed. Tonight, on a Sunday, they were out of chicken. I ordered a regular taco and received a few camarones on a crispy shell with no lettuce or salsa. To top it off, the staff had a bad attitude. Several people I know, including myself, have gotten ill recently. This place used to be really good, but there's definitely something wrong now.

Fantastic First Burrito & Quesadilla Experience!
We loved our first time trying burritos and quesadillas here! The taste was fantastic. We hope to try again next time. The price was really reasonable, and the portion size was super. What an awesome experience 🥰.

Price Hike & Terrible New Service
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. They have raised their prices, which is a significant drawback. Furthermore, the new staff member provided horrible customer service. Smh! : (

Incredible Value and Fresh Burritos
What else can you find a super burrito for $10 in the Bay Area nowadays? Besides, the ingredients are super fresh and the whole pack is super delicious.

Reasonably Priced Mexican Fare
My experience at this restaurant involved trying their bistec encebollado, Mexican Torta, and Super Nachos. All of these dishes were pretty good, although I did skip some sides due to dietary restrictions. The prices here are very reasonable.
