- foodMy experience at this restaurant was largely positive, with amazing service and nice tasting food. The atmosphere was also rated highly.
- burritoWhile I wasn't a fan of the tocino because it was too sweet for my liking, I absolutely LOVED the California with pork. It was a 10/10 burrito. Be prepared, as it will run you about $20 per burrito after all is said and done.

Frequently criticized
- foodSuper Americanized fusion food that brings together the worst of both worlds
- burritoslast few burritos have been less good than expected; smaller, less meat, too much rice
- burritoMy experience at the restaurant was quite disappointing. As some have mentioned, parts of my burrito were cold, and it was evident that the tortilla hadn't even been heated up. This significantly impacted the overall food quality.
- flavor🟡 🍚 I got the Señor Sisig Bowl with tofu, medium spicy, and it was OK. The flavor overall was sweet, not savory enough, missing acidity to brighten it up. I don't like sweet chili sauce and it tasted and looked like the tofu was marinated in it.
- medium spicymedium spicy was barely spicy at all
- tortillatortilla wasn't properly grilled, so it was gummy
- Señor Sisig Burritosdidn't taste Filipino, basically tasted like another SF mission burrito
- Sisig burritosaddest, tiniest burrito I've had in the Mission
- Sisig pork burritothe classic Sisig pork burrito was too rich for me
- Vegan Tofu Vegano SenorVegan Tofu Vegano Senor (2.5/5)
If you're looking for bold, unique Filipino-Mexican fusion, this spot is definitely worth a try, especially for their flavorful burritos and impressive vegan choices. Just be aware that some experiences mention inconsistent food temperature or occasional blandness, so manage your expectations for every dish.

Frequently criticized
- servicethe service and atmosphere were rated a 1
- customer serviceIt had so much crema that the burrito was COLD. I tried calling the store, and they answered, told me to come into the store (when it was a take-out order), then hung up and started to ignore the calls. The quality of their food has gone way down.
- staffIt was very unfortunate. Please vet your staff before hiring. Thank you.
- waiting timeI would love to rate this a 5-star experience, but after waiting basically 30 minutes for 2 burritos when there was no line, it doesn’t feel right. The food was great, but waiting for that long for 2 burritos to go is not ideal.
- backed upcan get pretty backed up
- cashier described itcashier described it as Filipino lemon. (I had facial reaction upon hearing it.
- changeThen she hesitated to give me my change.
- checkoutcannot check out as a guest using Apple Pay
- employee refused to give me the drinkHowever, I forgot to add the drink to cart (although it would have cost $0). Once I arrived to the restaurant, I explained my mistake, but the employee refused to give me the drink which was sitting right there near the register. He even had the gall to tell me that he would be happy to ring it up for me at the register if I wanted to pay for it.
- experienceThe experience with the money transaction was enough for me to not go back
Overall, service here can be a bit of a mixed bag. While youll likely encounter friendly, quick staff, be prepared for potential waits or occasional hiccups with ordering. If youre patient and value good food, its worth a try, but dont expect consistently flawless service.
Ambience (7.2 out of 10)
mentioned by 43% of the guests
The ambience here generally hits the mark, scoring a 7.2 and earning a 71% customer satisfaction rate, which is pretty good! Many of the 44 positive remarks highlight the diverse seating options, especially the inviting back patio and open-air dining areas. Guests frequently praise the clean place, great views, and overall pleasant atmosphere, making it a cool spot to relax.
However, it's not without its quirks, with 7 negative comments pointing out some areas for improvement. While many love the seating, a few found it limited, especially for groups of more than four people. Parking can be quite a hassle, and a concerning mention of a mouse sighting did pop up, which is definitely something to consider.

Value (4.2 out of 10)
mentioned by 27% of the guests
When it comes to value, it seems theres a bit of a mixed bag, with a score of 4.2 indicating an average experience, but customer satisfaction sitting at a rather low 17.6%. Some folks really appreciate the "bang for your buck" and find certain items, like "kid portion sizes, " to be "fairly priced. " Out of 6 positive remarks, these points really shine through, suggesting that some menu items offer decent value.
However, the conversation around value is largely dominated by concerns, with 25 negative remarks out of 34 total. Many find the "pricey" nature and "menu prices" to be a significant drawback, often mentioning "hidden 5% fee" or that the "portion size" doesnt justify the cost. It seems many feel it's overpriced for what you get, which is definitely something to consider.

- large quesadillaMy experience at this restaurant was centered around their crunchadilla, which I found to be consistently solid. However, it's definitely on the more expensive side for a large quesadilla. The food received a score of 4, service a 5, and atmosphere a 5.
If youre looking for a budget-friendly meal, this might not be your go-to, as many find it quite expensive for the quality and portion sizes. However, if youre willing to splurge a bit and pick carefully, some items might offer a decent bang for your buck. Just be aware of potential extra fees and the overall price point before you commit.

Delicious Filipino Flavors, Cozy Space
My experience at Senor Sisig was great! I visited on a Sunday for lunch and managed to get seats in the back area before it became too busy. I ordered the ube horchata and the tosilog burrito.
As a fan of Filipino food, I was excited to try it, and it truly hit the spot with its fresh flavors. The restaurant has a counter-service setup, with seating available on a covered patio in the back. While there's a decent amount of seating, I'd advise against it for groups larger than four, as witnessing larger groups struggle to find space was a bit of a nightmare.
Overall, I would definitely recommend Senor Sisig for a quick bite in the area!

Great Food, Service, but Pricey Parking
My experience at this restaurant was largely positive, with amazing service and nice tasting food. The atmosphere was also rated highly. However, the portion size was a bit pricey for the main meals.
On a positive note, the kid portion sizes were actually great for the price. A significant downside was the parking, which was quite a hassle, even on a mid-week afternoon. The restaurant does offer a decently sized sit-down area in the back.

Disappointing Food and a Shocking Find
My experience ordering from this restaurant via DoorDash was significantly below average, especially considering the price. To make matters worse, I found a moving insect inside one of the dishes. I strongly advise staying away from this place.

Delicious Tacos and Limeade!
My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! I thoroughly enjoyed the chicken and pork tacos, which were delicious. The calamansi limeade was also a hit.
I'm eager to return and try the burrito. It's a bonus that they are part of the inkind network!
