Incredible Mexican Burrito and Friendly Service!
My experience at this restaurant was genuinely amazing. I was blown away by their "Mexican burrito, " which was insanely delicious. It sounds simple, but it's incredible, and the homemade hot sauce is out of this world. Plus, the staff are welcoming and friendly.

Disappointing Burrito Experience
My experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing, especially considering I tried it twice. The first visit was okay and gave me hope for a second chance. However, my second experience was terrible. The burrito was soooo soggy, clumpy, and nasty. I also found the burrito to be small, and it took a lengthy 25 minutes to arrive. It's evident that cheap ingredients are used, and the staff seem to lack proper preparation skills. I was really disappointed to have spent $16 on something so gross.

Cozy Corner for Snacks & Breakfast
My experience at this restaurant was incredibly positive. I found it to be the coziest corner on Taylor St, offering a non-pretentious and very homey atmosphere. The service was incredibly friendly. It's the perfect spot if you're looking for a delicious snack or a quick breakfast. It also serves as an excellent fast “to-go” place. Additionally, it's a calm area in the city to recharge before visiting the cable car museum.

Delicious and Generous Breakfast Portions
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I enjoyed the really delicious and affordable breakfast options. I've tried both the breakfast burrito and the breakfast sandwich, and the eggs were fluffy and flavourful. The portions were also very generous. While there's usually a wait/line because it's a small place, it's definitely worth it!

Delicious Lox Bagel and Charming Spot
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I highly recommend getting the lox bagel; it was so good and one of the best actual bagels I’ve had in a while. I also loved the charm of this little gem!

Authentic Mexican Gem in Nob Hill
My experience at this quaint, authentic Mexican cafe was wonderful. I found homemade beans and their own picante salsa🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. It's the best place in Nob Hill to sit at their side walk tables for a breakfast burrito and Azteca coffee! The kindest, hardworking family who own this small business are truly wonderful neighbors.

Great Bagels and Coffee!
My experience at the restaurant was very positive. I enjoyed a very good bagel, which was delicious both with and without meat. The coffee was also tasty. They also offer burritos. The service, atmosphere, and food all received a perfect score of 5.

Life-Changing Breakfast Sandwich!
I stopped by while passing through and decided to build my own breakfast sandwich. I chose a plain bagel with cream cheese, turkey, tomato, avocado, and egg. The price was fair considering all the add-ons. I eat this combo frequently in NYC, and I was amazed that this sandwich was 10 times better! I'm not sure if it was the organic or high-quality ingredients, but it was truly life-changing. The sandwich was extremely tasty, and the service was splendid.

Disappointing Bagel and Lox Experience
My experience at the restaurant was generally blah. If I order lox, I would expect to receive a fresh bagel instead of one that is 3 days old. Additionally, I requested a toasted bagel, which was never delivered for some reason. This lack of attention to detail and failure to meet simple requests was quite disappointing.
