Mixed Taco Experience
My experience at the restaurant was a mix. The chicken taco tijuana style and saudero taco tijuana style were excellent, featuring juicy chicken and crisped pieces of saudero. Every piece was edible and had good flavor with the guac.
While I usually go traditional, these worked well. However, I found my al pastor chunks to be very chewy, making it impossible to finish more than a bite.

Great Food, Loud Karaoke
I'm a big fan of this place, and I have to say the food is excellent, receiving a perfect score. The service also deserves a top rating. However, the Saturday night karaoke is really throwing off the ambiance.
It's just too loud and overwhelming, impacting the overall atmosphere.

Cold Tacos After Long Wait
My experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing. We endured a long wait of nearly 45 minutes for our tacos. When they finally arrived, the tacos were cold, dry, and completely lacked any condiments or even oil, making them hard to swallow.
It was a true shame to wait so long and pay nearly $4 per taco for such a poor quality meal. The food quality was a significant letdown, especially after such a considerable wait time.

Long Wait, Dry and Flavorless Food
My experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing. We ordered a charro with 15 tacos, and it took 45 minutes for them to be served. When the tacos finally arrived, the meat was dry and lacked flavor.
This was a significant letdown, especially after such a long wait.

Lamb Quesabirria: Small Portions, Cold Consommé
My experience at the restaurant involved trying the Lamb Quesabirria. While the taste was fine, I found the portion sizes to be small. A notable issue was that the consommé arrived cold.
The restaurant does offer a self-serve salsa bar. Overall, the food received a rating of 3, while service and atmosphere were rated 4.

Awesome Carne Asada Burrito Contender
I came here because there was a line out the door at El Farolito. I got a carne asada burrito and it was awesome. It's definitely a contender for one of the best burritos in the Mission.

Delicious Mexican Food and Friendly Staff
My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! I was greeted with a friendly welcome and the staff were lovely. We thoroughly enjoyed everything we ordered.
The Quesabirra Vampire tacos and the Ceviche were particularly outstanding. I had always wanted to try the Mexican doner kebab, and it certainly didn’t disappoint. I will definitely return next time I’m in SF.

Amazing Tacos, Fairly Priced!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I was amazed by how fairly priced the food is. The tacos are probably the best I've found in SF, made with handmade corn tortillas and fresh ingredients.
The service, atmosphere, and food all received a perfect score of 5.

Dishonest Billing and Bland Food
My experience at this restaurant was incredibly disappointing. It felt like one of the most generic restaurants I've ever eaten in. The service was just plain horrendous.
The server taking my order was completely neutral, offering no greeting. She then purposely added more items to my order to increase the bill, such as bringing chips, salsa, and guacamole when I only ordered chips and salsa, with the guacamole being an additional $6. They also automatically added handmade tortillas for tacos, charging an extra dollar per taco, which they consider dishonest business practices.
The server forgot my glass of water three times, even though the place was practically empty. The carnitas tacos and el pastor taco had no flavor whatsoever; I could only taste the tortilla, onions, cilantro, and salsa, with the meat being completely bland. The chips were good, but the salsa and guacamole were just mid.
The restaurant's decor was as generic and bland as the food. Despite being a good tipper, I left no tip for the server due to the shady billing practices. Between the dishonest billing and awful food, I strongly advise staying away.
