- foodTheir ability to customize almost their entire menu to be vegan-friendly is a game-changer. The food is absolutely delicious, and it was a nightly dinner staple for my mom and me during our visit. It's fantastic to see Filipino culture represented so deliciously and accessibly.
- burritoI had the chicken burrito, and it was truly the best burrito ever. The flavor was out of this world, and it was incredibly filling. It's a great option for takeout or dining in.
- portion sizeI ordered based on the photo and it was absolutely delicious! I ordered the pork instead of chicken, and the portion size was huge, so I recommend ordering one for two people if you're getting it as a snack. I also ordered it spicy.
- tacosEating a vegan crunchwrap supreme with a view of Treasure Island is an insane experience that I wish everyone could have. The tacos are also really good, especially with the vegan chicken and Just Egg. I've been many times and the employees are always nice!
- California burritoI normally get the California burrito but decided to try the tosilog today. I do like it but not as much as the California burrito. I love the adobo rice in it.
- burritosIf you eat at the outdoor tables, you can enjoy a beautiful view of the Golden Gate. The burritos are generous.
- vegan chickenEating a vegan crunchwrap supreme with a view of Treasure Island is an insane experience that I wish everyone could have. The tacos are also really good, especially with the vegan chicken and Just Egg. I've been many times and the employees are always nice!
- vegan optionsThey have a seating area in the side, which I appreciated. What I loved most is that you can make all of their menu vegan. I tried the vegan sisig fries with vegan chicken, and they also offer tofu.
- FoodFood:5
- ingredientsThe sweet and saltiness you'd normally find in pork was captured in their chicken. All the ingredients meshed well together and combined with some vinegar for dip, was absolutely delicious. Although busy, I'd try to snag a table outside in their dedicated seating area.
Frequently criticized
- burritoI used to love waiting for these pork burritos at the food truck and getting to finally eat them. These days, the pork is still decent but the burrito was pretty lacking in flavor. The ingredients tasted fresh but I had to put a lot of hot sauce in the burrito to make it tasty.
- burritosit’s pretty much a potatoes burritos, 20% flour tortilla & 70% french fries
- meatNow that I’m visiting, I was so excited to see that they are in the Ferry Building! However, after receiving my burrito, it was cold, had very little meat, and was mostly filled with sour cream & unmelted cheese. Perhaps it’s a one-off?
- nachosBland liquid cheese and a scoop of chicken
- portion sizewas really small for this price
- qualityI really enjoy the food here, but the prices are just very high for the quality and quantity you receive. It seems like they are more focused on branding and making as much money as possible versus serving the SF community tasty food at reasonable costs.
- spicynot even mildly hot even though I ordered “hella spicy”
- FoodFood:2
- PortionsPortions were a bit unbalanced
- REAL cheesesaw the crunchadilla had chicken all over and REAL cheese
If you're looking for a unique and flavorful fusion experience with plenty of options, especially for vegans, this spot is definitely worth trying. Just be aware that some experiences mention occasional inconsistencies in food temperature or flavor, so keep that in mind.

Value (4 out of 10)
mentioned by 24% of the guests
While the overall score of 4 places value in the average range, and customer satisfaction sits at a rather poor 15%, a few patrons did find some bright spots. Out of 40 opinions, 6 noted that the value for money was good, with some finding the prices reasonable and not overly expensive for the quality and portions received. However, the overwhelming sentiment, with 29 negative opinions, points to significant concerns.
Many felt the restaurant was on the expensive side and pricey for a quick lunch, citing high prices and even hidden fees. It seems the overall value proposition leaves much to be desired for most patrons, with many feeling it's not cheap for what you get.

- priceCa valait vraiment le prix

- totalA pure moment of happiness! $18 total. Don't miss this place.
Frequently criticized
- priceEven after dousing it with sriracha (and the recommended salted vinegar), it was still way too sweet, cold, and overall not enjoyable. For $18, I expect a lot more. Lastly, I tried paying with inKind and neither cashier was aware of the app/program (and it took waiting 10 minutes for them to call their manager to ask about it), so it’s clear that employee training and enablement is not taken seriously here.

If youre looking for a budget-friendly option, this might not be your best bet, as many find it quite expensive. While a few patrons felt they got good value, the majority were disappointed with the pricing and potential hidden costs. Be prepared for potentially higher costs, especially if youre sensitive to price.
How are the prices at Señor Sisig?
You’re looking at roughly 20 per person – reported by 100 diners. That puts it in the $11–$20 category. For a Filipino Restaurant, it’s comfortably mid-range: not a steal, but not bank-breaking either.
Looking at the full picture, most diners spend in the $11–$20 range, with a good chunk also hitting the $21–$30 mark. So, prices definitely cluster around that mid-range sweet spot, rather than being all over the map with super cheap and super premium options.
This chart shows what people usually spend per person, using the 100 most recent reviews.
Heres how this restaurants value stacks up against similar spots in San Francisco.
We think the pricing here feels pretty fair for a Filipino restaurant, especially in San Francisco. It offers good value without breaking the bank.

My Go-To Filipino Spot for Flavorful Burritos
This is always my go-to fast Filipino spot. The burritos are a pretty good size, full of flavor and stuffed with the perfect amount of meat and extras. I normally get the California burrito but decided to try the tosilog today.
I do like it but not as much as the California burrito. I love the adobo rice in it. I love that you can choose your level of spice.
They’re always pretty fast to get your food out to you. Specialty drinks are always good here too.

Special Crunch-a-dilla with a Wait
My experience at the restaurant featured a crunch-a-dilla that was quite special, offering a unique blend of Mexican flavors and Asian ingredients. I opted for the chicken version, and it tasted fine. However, it did take a bit of time, approximately 15 minutes, for this item to be ready.

Good Burrito, Fast Service
My experience at the restaurant was positive. I tried the Chicken Senor Sisig Burrito and found it to be pretty good. The restaurant always had a queue when I passed by, which led me to try it out due to its popularity.
I was pleased with the good portions and the fast service, especially considering how busy they were. The staff were also friendly.

Delicious Burrito & Horchata, Generous Portions!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I ordered the California burrito with the vegan chicken option and an Ube horchata. My husband enjoyed a sisig bowl.
The portions were plentiful; we could only eat half of our meals. I highly recommend this place to all my friends.

Pricey but Unique Drinks
My first experience at this restaurant was in a great location. I found the prices to be very pricey. I ordered the beef steak burritos and two kids' rice bowl meals, along with calamansi juice and ube horchata.
The $17 beef steak burrito was surprisingly small for the price and was just okay. The kids' meal, a pork sisig with rice, was simple but filling. The highlight for me was the drinks, as they offered something different and unique.
