      Love this place so much from the textured chips, lengua burrito to the sweet and kind staff.

      Place is no frills but family owned and it's great to support local business. Dare I say this spot is my top 2 in the city. :)

      If you are lucky enough to get a seat in this cramped, bustling space, you get to enjoy your super burrito sitting elbow to elbow with SF locals.

      The burrito itself was creamy, fatty, carb-y heaven!! Douse with the hot sauce.

      I heard of this place as a famous Mexican place in the Mission. With my former favorite, La Taqueria, breaking my heart with recent mid performances, I decided to try something new.

      Hype train ain't worth it. Ate this and felt like absolute garbage after - flavorless, ok meat, only redeeming thing (if you want to think of it like that) is the portion size. Service was good and chips were chips, otherwise this would be a one.

      100% not worth coming. Don't be fooled.

      Finally made it to this place for some burrito. Located in the Mission district in San Francisco. You can find some street parking just make sure not to leave anything valueble in your car.

      Restaurant has seating inside and when we got there on a Friday night it was not too busy. You go in line and place your order. They take debit/credit card for payment.

      We ordered a few things to try. We got super carne asada burrito,asada mojado burrito,lengua tacos,al pastor tacos and super quesadilla with grilled chicken. They do give you chips and salsa with your meal. Loved everything we would say the buritto was our fave and also the quesadilla. We'll probably skip the mojado style burrito next time. This is a place we will for sure be coming back too.

      Tried pupusa for the first time! Got the squid ink chicken and chicken one.

      Pupusa is a thick griddle cake (often made with corn meal) with filling inside. It's believed to originate with the Indigenous Pipil tribe over 2,000 years ago around El Salvador!

      It was good! Also can with dipping sauce and a salad. Staff are also friendly here! Restaurant decorations are nice, makes me feel like I'm in Mexico

      This is our favourite taqueria in SF! All the meats were delicious, especially the lengua and the asada. If getting tacos, definitely opt for the super tacos. Only a dollar more, and it gets packed with onions, cilantro, salsa, avocado, cheese, and much more! Portion sizes are quite large, and the tacos are often overflowing with both ingredients and flavours.

      Service is quite fast, even though there is often a line. A must visit!

      Stopped in for a late lunch. Ordered a super burrito and a super quesadilla for two of us to share. We were the only ones in so food came up super fast.

      For the quesadilla we went with the carne asada and al pastor for the burrito. The al pastor was the winner of the two meats. It was flavorful and juicy, while the carne asada was a little on the chewier/dry side.

      Portions were pretty massive, we were starving and still went home with about half of the quesadilla left.

      Parking in the area can be pretty hard, we found a spot on the street around the corner and down a couple blocks.

      I know it's a local fave, but I darted in need of the restroom, which was unkempt wet and smelled heavily of sanitizer so I kind of lost my appetite.

      There was a short line which required virtually no wait on an early Sunday night. I ordered two super tacos and a carnitas taco salad. Portions are decent, but was too salty! I hear the quesadillas here are better.

      Great for a quick bite. Just don't use the bathroom!

      Overrated burrito place. It was a generously packed burrito if that's what you're going for. But the carne asada was overcooked and was on the tougher side. The rice was lacking in flavor. And the entire burrito was poorly wrapped and falling apart.

      Nothing special with this joint: I ordered a special burrito and they gave little bag of chips with a very small salsa. Not worth your money!
