El Tesoro - Reviews

My experience at this restaurant has been varied, as the quality of the food depends on what you order. While the sides were not great – described as dry, small, and a little cold – the main dishes I've tried have consistently been excellent. My absolute favorite is the chorizo quesadilla, which is generously stuffed with fillings and boasts a very rich flavor.

My experience with this restaurant, ordered through DoorDash, has been mixed. The first time I ordered, the food was okay. However, on my second order, the food tasted like chlorine. I had their quesadillas and taco salad. The taco salad wasn't as good as other options in the city. The quesadillas were good in concept, but the overwhelming chlorine taste detracted significantly from them.

My experience at the restaurant was very unprofessional. We ordered the shrimp asada, but we never finished it. We waited for 2 hours, which is very unprofessional service.

I've eaten here a couple of times, and it's never my first choice due to several issues that need improvement and put the health of customers at risk. Firstly, temperature control is a major concern. I've observed that cold prepared foods are never refrigerated; for example, sauces are prepared and put into 2 oz containers, left on the table all day. Similarly, hot, potentially dangerous foods are not kept at safe temperatures. I saw grilled meat accumulated in containers that were neither refrigerated nor kept hot. I was there for about an hour, and during that time, they didn't even use that meat, which I found very concerning. It wasn't just the meat; I saw cheese handled the same way. Secondly, there's very little hygiene observed in the kitchen area. Thirdly, my food was bad, and I even got sick that night. I bought food on July 5, 2025, at 8: 15 pm for takeout. I ordered a quesadilla and nachos. When I got home, to my surprise, the quesadilla was burnt, tasted bitter, and had an excessive amount of oil. I didn't sleep that night; I had stomach discomfort until July 6th. I wouldn't buy from this place again. I didn't want to complain because it felt pointless for a $15 quesadilla, and it was late, and I was hungry. However, if the restaurant manager sees this, I would like a refund and some advice: take care of your business, as no one else will do it for you.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I found the food to be really tasty, easily the best Mexican food I've had in a while. It was much better than other Mexican places I've tried recently. The food received a perfect score of 5, while service and atmosphere were rated at 3.

I really like this place. I order delivery from here every day, and 9 out of 10 times, they get my order right. The price is also good, which is a big plus. The nachos are good, as are the super burrito and the super quesadilla, especially the al pastor.

I love the chicken here, and I like their tacos; they have flavor. I buy very frequently here for takeout, but this time I wanted to try the nachos and it was a surprise. I'm still trying to find the meat; they have more pico de gallo than meat. I felt ripped off.

My experience at this taqueria was absolutely incredible. I can confidently say it's the world's best taqueria hands down. Any other restaurant in San Francisco simply sucks in comparison; this place truly rules! I highly recommend telling your friends and bringing an empty belly because you'll want to eat everything.

I LOVE ME SOME TORTAS! The food was great, and I also appreciate the appreciation for big women. My experience was a 9. 9/10. The only flaw was that the torta was mildly sloppy, considering it had a lot of frijol, but I still devoured that TORTA GRHRRHRHH😝😝.

This place is a local favorite, so much so that if you're a Spanish speaker and need to explain where you live, you can just say you're by "El Tesoro" and people will know. I highly recommend trying the "crazy burrito, " which is uniquely stuffed with flaming hot Cheetos.
