Exceptional Food and Service, Music Needs Work
I have to say, at first I thought it was the typical food I'm used to eating, American-style food. But on this occasion, I must say the service and the flavor are exceptional. The sauces are super. The bad thing is the same old music. That's why I give it a 3.

Amazing Mexican Food Near Mission Bay
My experience at this restaurant was outstanding. I've lived in the city for a long time and can confidently say this is one of the best Mexican cuisine places I've ever been to. The taste of almost every menu item has been amazingly good. The staff have always been very kind. It's definitely two thumbs up from me, and my favorite place near the Mission Bay neighborhood.

Exceptional Food and Service!
My experience at Public Urban Taqueria was absolutely fantastic. The owner is incredibly friendly and passionate, clearly taking immense pride in both the food and the overall dining experience. The menu is refreshingly creative, and the quality of ingredients is genuinely top-tier – you can truly taste the difference in every bite. Both the chicken and beef are halal, and the flavors are spot on. I've dined here many times without any issues. Today, there was a small mix-up with my order where I received chicken instead of beef, but the owner handled it perfectly. He made it right immediately, all with a smile, and even let me keep the corrected order – that's exceptional customer service. The weekly specials are a must-try; they are unique, well-crafted, and definitely worth checking out. This spot is a gem, and I'll be coming back regularly.

Great service for a large group!
These guys are great! They handled our big group without notice. Had us taken care of in probably 45 minutes, and everyone was eating. Suggested.

Best Burrito Ever!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic, primarily due to the California Burrito, which I can honestly say was the BEST burrito I have ever tasted! The Carne Asada was incredibly flavorful and not tough at all. I also enjoyed the rice, which was great and fluffy. The service was excellent, rated a 5 out of 5, and the food also received a perfect 5. The atmosphere was rated a 4. Finding parking was somewhat difficult, but the paid parking lot was available.

Delicious Tacos and Great Service!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I absolutely loved the tacos and guacamole. The breakfast tacos are highly recommended. The hostess was very nice, and there was plenty of outdoor dining space available.

Greasy Quesadilla, Not for Me
If you enjoy greasy taco spots, this place might be for you. I normally don't write a review if it's bad, but the super carnitas quesadilla was so greasy I couldn't eat it. The food received a score of 1, service a 4, and atmosphere a 2.

Fresh Vegetarian Burrito & Quick Service
My experience at this restaurant was quite positive, especially for vegetarians. I would recommend the vegetarian burrito for vegetarians. The ingredients used are fresh, which is always a plus. I've been eating here at least twice a month or more because it's close to my office. The service is also pretty quick.
