Delicious Fish Burrito - Don't Expect Fancy!
I was hungry, and the smell was delicious. We didn’t regret stopping by and having a fish burrito. It was delicious. I saw people complaining about food being bland, and I strongly disagree with them. However, if you eat a high sodium diet, then it’s not for you. P. S. Don’t expect fancy ‘seat and eat’.

Disappointing Chile Verde Burrito
My experience at the restaurant was disappointing. I ordered the chile verde super burrito, which was extremely wet and I wouldn't recommend it. The meat portion was tiny. Overall, I was not impressed with the food.

Great Burrito for a Picnic
While the atmosphere of the restaurant isn't the most appealing, it's not designed to be. The grilled chicken burrito is a standout! It's a solid size and perfect for taking to Dolores Park for a picnic. The burrito is delicious and always hits the spot. For the full experience, definitely get the super option, which includes guacamole, sour cream, and cheese.

Consistently Delicious Super Burrito
I've been a loyal customer for years and have consistently found this restaurant to be excellent. My go-to order, the super burrito with carnitas, is always delicious. The location is also a plus, being near Dolores Park, making it a great spot for a picnic. I highly recommend this place!

Solid Carne Asada Burrito!
My experience was centered around a solid carne asada burrito that was gone in 60 seconds. The preparation was cafeteria style. The green sauce was a standout at 10/10, while the red sauce was good at 7/10.

Mixed Feelings About El Buen Sabor
El Buen Sabor has been a long-standing option on Valencia Street. While the prices are fair, the quality of the food cooked isn't the greatest. A mark of a great taqueria is the carne asada; if your carne is consistently tender, I will continue to return. This place, however, has very dry, chewy carne, which is not awesome. Aside from that, they have other meat options that are tender and juicy. So, if you do go here, perhaps don't order the carne asada.

Solid Carne Asada Burrito, Good Value
My experience at this restaurant involved a solid carne asada super burrito for about $16. While it wasn't overwhelmingly impressive, it's a good option for a good price if you're in the area. The portions were generous, and the green salsa was super solid. However, the red salsa was very mid, and the overall flavor could have been better.

Good Mexican Food in the Mission
My experience at this restaurant was that it serves Mexican food in the Mission, and it's a solid choice. While it might not be the absolute best, it certainly gets the job done. The atmosphere and service were both rated highly at 5, indicating a pleasant dining environment and attentive staff. The food received a good rating of 4, suggesting a satisfying culinary experience. The price per person was reasonable, ranging from $10–20, and there was no wait time, making for an efficient visit. The noise level was moderate, which is typical for a busy restaurant.

Top 5 Burritos in SF!
I had such a great experience at this restaurant that I went two evenings in a row! The burrito was so good. The atmosphere was rated a 5, and it was quiet, making it easy to talk. Service was also a 5. It's crowded but not overwhelming. Definitely a top 5 burrito in SF.
