“todo delicioso 😋 y fresco y muy limpio“

“It’s the best Restaurant in town came with Family and we had a great time! Food was great and drinks 🍹 we all loved the dessert as well! Just amazing service and food! My Favorite for sure! 2914 College Ave Berkeley Ca“

“Try the newest special the Cajun Tropical Wet Burrito! It’s so yummy and amazing! 😋I highly recommend this restaurant. Also, great customer service and quick service. Great quality with great prices! 😉“

“Gordo's is just the frigging best. I know it is actually "Gordo Taqueria", but I've called it "Gordo's" for 25 years and I can't change! You guys are great!“

“I placed my Drive-Thru order on the mobile app before a chore run, well ahead of time, as I have done for years, at 6:21pm. I pulled up around 7:01pm and was handed my order immediately. A little confused, I shrugged it off though soon realized my food was cold and soggy.

I noticed on the bag that it was ready for pickup at 6:27pm, well before I was there. Upon returning to inquire, I was told that you cannot specify a time for Drive-Thru, and had to argue/insist that it's Taco Bell policy to not start making the order until the name is given at the Drive-Thru.

I had checked the website before leaving, so it felt extremely disrespectful to be argued with around the matter because they didn't want to admit the mistake. They finally gave in and remade my order as they should. I understand trying to get ahead of orders, but you shouldn't break policy to do so or this kind of thing can happen.

The situation was appropriately remediated and I feel bad if I stressed anyone out (thus the 4-star), thank you.“

“We found this place by asking where the best burritos were. Everyone we asked said to come here. You will wait in a long line but it moves fast and absolutely worth the wait! We got ours to go but there is some inside seating. Hands down the freshest most delicious burrito I've ever had. They are huge!“

“One of our top dining experiences. The vibe of the entire experience was spectacular from the dark yet vibrant decor, the background music selection, the colorful plating selections that made the food visually pop, and to the careful and detailed food presentation. Just stunning - all of my senses were dancing in delight.

The staff is incredibly friendly and the chefs top notch. The taco courses were our favorite. The entire progression was exceptional and well executed.“

“Definitely Best Tacos in Town! 🔥🍻🤤“

“I love it when a first try of something new to me is a sensational first impression as well! friendly staff and great food! I'll be back for sure!“

“An elevated liquor store that sells delicious Mexican food. Come here for tacos, quesadillas, even coffee and ice cream (depending on the day/time). I’ve been here now a few times and the owners are so down to earth & nice. Take some food to cook up at home too. This is the spot for some home handmade tortillas! Deliciosa!“

“The food is delicious, gluten free for any celiac folks out there. The staff are great the drinks delicious. I was there several times, party of two and party of 10. Very accommodating and the prices aren't insane. So if you're looking for a place by the waterfront, it's a good one!“

“best tacos 🌮🇮🇹🐍🦅 in San Francisco 🚩🏟📍49ers 🏈 maybe 🤷 😂24th street 💘“

“On my most recent visit at 8pm on a Tuesday, there was a line for ordering but service was fast and friendly. I ordered the super burrito and I am not exaggerating when I say that this is the best burrito I have ever had. Forget Chipotle because this is a flavor explosion!
The chicken is perfectly charred, the tortilla is soft yet strong enough to hold together the large burrito. The cilantro is fresh and adds robust flavor. Lastly, the avocado and sour cream round out the burrito, balancing out the herbs.

The cash-only reviews may not be accurate as I and many other people used credit card.
This is a must-try if you're in the Mission district, such a hidden gem!“

“Excellent food, wonderful friendly service“

“This is my favorite breakfast burrito in San Francisco. They are so, so good - stuffed with bacon, beans, avocado, cheese - I’m literally drooling thinking about it. The staff here are so kind and lovely. It’s great for breakfast or lunch. It’s reasonably priced for the area. The mini churros are also yummy. The portions are very large. Highly recommend.“

“Newest restaurant open in Union Square. Incredible food. They are so kind and give back to the city.“

“Consistently great tacos burritos or quesadillas the only reason I didnt list anything else was i havent tried the other items. It gets better the crew running the truck are awesome if I ever forget my order they'll remember. Good food and good people.“

“There's something about the best tacos i've had, amazing service and Vicente Fernández music in the background that just enlightens your day. I absolutely recommend it, specially when there are tacos de cabeza. Greetings from Chile🇨🇱“

“Great food, good service, and a wonderful overall experience.“

“the chicken is the best around and the al pastor is to die for“

“The tamales are so good!!“

“This used to be one of our favs. While eating there tonight I actually couldn’t believe how bad the food was that I tried checking their website to see if there was new ownership or a new chef. The beef tacos tasted bland and with a tinge of a chemical taste, the chips were stale but I was hungry so ate them, the dip they came with was probably the only good thing, the fish tacos were not like how they used to taste. I ordered a margarita, the bart next asked if I wanted tequila. I said yes. She brought me mescal. Yuck. Seriously, what happened Otra?“

“Los tacos muy ricos y las salsas muy ricas también“

“Been going there since the 70’s We loved their fresh made tortillas and masa for tamales. I did notice today the tortillas weren’t the same. I pray the masa hasn’t changed when we make our Xmas tamales. For the past 27 years I drive from Antioch to San Francisco for our masa.🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️“

“How cool that this Oakland gem has adapted during the pandemic! All of the delicious drinks and all kinds of new menu items all for take-out in...wait for it...compostable containers...even the bottles the drinks come in! Please support this sustainability-minded, amazing and delicious restaurant. They have a few outdoor tables, too. Go. Go now!“

“The grilled cheese burrito was absolutely delicious! What a genius idea. Every bite is greeted with tasty guacamole, continued with flavorful carne asada, and then you’re left with melty cheese to chew on afterwards. And the addition of a churro was really the cherry on top. If you’re visiting the mission and want the best burrito possible, get this one!“

“Ate at Golondrinas for the first time tonight. Ordered the special pupusas (zucchini and cheese) which came with a side of slaw plus some spicy sauce it was outstanding. Couldn't help but eat the entire plate of food. Had their green salad which was a very generous portion of incredibly fresh greens with shredded carrots and pepitas. It was a simple but totally delectable salad; easily enough to share if I had been with someone else. My main course was the poblano mole enchiladas with chicken and refried beans -- OMG soooo delicious. The mole was truly one of the best I have eaten! The refried beans were delectable. Felt like I was eating food made by someone who loved me. Highly encourage you to go and enjoy some of the best Mexican food I've ever eaten!“

“I always have an amazing experience in the wheels on this so nice and friendly. This is my favorite Mexican place. I love how they greet you with a warm welcome and they’re always ready to place you in a seat.“

“Quaint & good food. Friendly restaurant & staff.“

“Un lugar donde te sientes como en casa, como en tu México lindo y querido. Con la atención más cordial, amable y amigable del mundo. Lugar donde te concierten el paladar con la exquisitez de su buena comida y bebidas. Gracias Tio Chilo!!!!!“

“Absolutely fantastic.

Great quality, flavor, and good presentation on food. Highly recommend their salsa verde on just about anything. Superb. My favorite: Chilaquiles with ham, verde sauce. You won’t regret it.

Friendly, family feel staff, quick food, clean environment, atmosphere not too loud though when full it can get moderate.“

“It was the friendliest salsa scene I've been to in years--Sunday at four to eight. And the food was gorgeous, and the staff super helpful.“

“Food was Delicious. Staff was very friendly. The restaurant was very clean. Food was all fresh. I absolutely recommend them! We will be back.“

“This was the best Mexican food I’ve had in almost 15 years. I’m going to be visiting a lot. Good drinks and great food.“

“Walked in one day and wanted to try some nachos. Had a great time. It was good fresh food. The service was amazing and the views from the windows are pretty. The restaurant is also decorated very beautifully. Will come back again to try the other things I was suggested. But unfortunately just the day was not just for me, which was decent.

Don't mind the to go box in my photos. I didn't want to dirty dishes when I was hoping to take most of the Nachos to go :)“

“No pics but it’s a great “dive.” The dishes are very original and flavorful. I had the spicy chicken sandwich and a friend had the fish tacos. Sounds unoriginal, but the flavors are what make it special. We didn’t even order sides and were very satisfied with the portions. They also have a great variety of brews to choose from to go with the meal. I’m definitely going back. The atmosphere is great, even if it gets crowded, it wouldn’t feel like it. There’s good spacing between tables unlike a lot of places in San Francisco. The decor is slightly rustic and good atmospheric Latin music in the background, not too loud at all.“

“I had a Ratatoullie moment when I ate here, and I am Asian. There is not a drop of latin blood in my body, but when I bit into the al pastor super burrito I legit shed a tear. This place is just as good as, if not better than, the best foods I ate across Mexico.“

“Muy acogedor el lugar, perfecto para un almuerzo en familia.“

“Great value and the food is exceptional! Small dining area and no frills, but who cares! I had the super taco and it was outstanding! I only wish I could have had a margarita!“

“Pleasant environment, friendly people and delicious food❤️“

“Delicious. The torta was divine and I loved the salsa bar especially since they had the taqueria pickled carrots and jalapeños as an option at the salsa bar! 10/10 would recommend. If I lived in San Fran, this would be my go-to spot. Service was great. Thank you so much!“

“Omg! this place ess awesome! the chicken & waffles were to die for.. I will be returning.soon!“

“Awesome food! Would go back again!“

“All of their food is delicious🔥🤤😋“

“I think I've been to about 75% of the Mexican restaurants and Taquerias in the city, so keep that in mind when I say the El Tepa Taqueria put out the very best Tacos de Cerdo I've ever had. The flavors of the pork and salsa verde melded together perfectly with the hand made tortillas!
5 stars and worthy of a two hour drive...no shit! ☆☆☆☆☆“

“Great clean place, the people were very friendly and the food was amazing.“

“I'm not very familiar with Yucatan cuisine, but liked this place - the chicken tinga quesadilla was a personal favorite and I liked it more than their famous breakfast burrito, which was good and had a nice crunch, but was quite oily. Husband had their ceviche and it was sweeter than expected, but good. I also liked their hot sauce a lot. Dog friendly outdoor seating is a nice plus.“
