- burritoUpdate: I love this place so much; today unfortunately marks the second day they've made my order wrong. I ordered over the phone this time for my typical order, and they gave me a burrito with beans, rice, some kind of meat, and sour cream. Last time I ordered in person and they added just rice.

- incorrect ordersmarks the second day theyve made my order wrong
- ordersthey just can't seem to get orders right
- serviceI will try one more time and if it's incorrect again, I'm going to find a new taqueria sadly. Marking down service to a 2 for the incorrect orders, and total 5 stars to 3 stars. My go-to is a refried beans burrito with cheese and sour cream - basic, I know, but you'd be surprised that some places just don't make good ones.
Overall, the service here is a major plus, with most guests enjoying a friendly and efficient experience. You can generally expect great hospitality, but be mindful to double-check your order, just in case.
Ambience (7.8 out of 10)
mentioned by 58% of the guests
When it comes to the vibe, this spot generally hits the mark! With a score of 7.8, the ambience is considered good, and customer satisfaction sits at a solid 76.9%, also good. Guests really dig the aesthetic, praising the charming decor, interesting art, and pleasant atmosphere.
Many appreciate the clean, bright space and how it feels like a great addition to the neighborhood, based on 20 positive remarks. However, it's not without its quirks. A few guests (5 out of 26 total comments) noted that the exterior can be unattractive, and the location itself can be a bit of a challenge due to noise, traffic, and difficulty finding parking.
So, while the inside shines, getting there might test your patience a little.

Here’s a quick look at what guests spend per person, based on the latest 21 reviews.
How this spot stacks up against other restaurants in San Francisco when it comes to value for your money.

Expensive and downhill
My experience at this restaurant started well, but unfortunately, it has gone downhill pretty quickly. The prices are expensive, and they don't even offer free chips. If you order a side of Guac, it costs seven bucks, and it comes in a tiny, tablespoon container.

SF's Top 3 Super Burrito!
I've been coming to this spot since it first opened because it's nearby, but I've never felt compelled to write a review until recently. I'm confident in saying this is one of SF's top 3 Super Burritos. I've tried every taqueria imaginable, and especially over the past 2 months, the consistency I've experienced here is amazing.
They achieve a great balance of texture. A unique touch they add is lettuce, which I personally don't mind and actually like for the added freshness. You absolutely must get the refried beans.
I rarely write reviews, but I felt the need to share my recent impressions. This place deserves more recognition, especially considering its hard-to-reach location. However, if you're in the vicinity, I'd say this is the best Burrito you can get on San Bruno.
I'll definitely be back!

Incorrect Orders, High Price
I've been to this restaurant a few times over the years, and unfortunately, they consistently struggle with getting orders right. On my recent visit, I ordered a burrito with steak, beans, rice, and cheese, specifically requesting no salsa. Despite confirming this with the staff, the burrito was prepared with salsa anyway.
Given that cheese is exceptionally expensive in Bay Area taquerias, this burrito, along with a can of Coke, cost $18. 50. This experience has led me to a hard pass on returning in the future.

Disappointing Enchiladas and Cold Food
My experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing. I found the chips to be not very good. I ordered an enchilada plate with one beef and one cheese enchilada.
The beef enchilada was okay, though it was surprisingly cold in the middle. The cheese enchilada was even worse; it wasn't warm at all, and the cheese hadn't melted, making it feel like I was eating raw shredded cheese. The beans lacked flavor, and the rice was just passable.
Given the many excellent dining options in this neighborhood, I won't be returning and will opt for Taqueria Gonzalez instead.
