“The best food in los moles nice people there“

“my go-to burrito place. Always friendly service. I like my burritos very spicy, and la estrella is one of the few places that will go as heavy on the habanero as I like. Super fast if you order over the phone, too. I mostly eat vegetarian and they make a very good veggie burrito. The fish is good, too.“

“All I can say is, “awesome “! It’s delicious, it’s quick and the staff is friendly and helpful. I purchased a large order for a group of 7 and the order was prepared quickly and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the food. Thanks for being awesome!“

“This is such a great place for Mexican food. I always order the same thing which is a ground beef burrito. It's my favorite! I am still yet to try their enchiladas. But this is a comfort food haven. You have to try it for yourself. I don't know how long they have been in business, but it's been for a very long time and in the same location.

Parking: The parking lot is shared by about 3 or 4 other businesses and the parking lot is not that big, but there is plenty of street parking close by too.“

“My son and I come here. Usually there is a line, so like anywhere else, you have to be patient. But the wait is worth it. This is the only fast food place I will eat at. The burrito bowl is the best if you want to skip the wheat tortilla.“

“We went last night on 10/10/2024. Claudia was our waitress. She did a wonderful job,and her customer service was excellent. We had one issue with a plate. She and the manager took care of it. It wasn't big, but I appreciate them listening. The restaurant has a great atmosphere for a couples outing or dinner. They strive to have good dishes“

“Second time at Bombera. Just as good as the last time. Atmosphere is inviting. Multiple dishes for vegetarians and meat eaters alike. Took the two most picky eaters i know, and they enjoyed every dish more than the last. Staff is great too. 👍🏾 It's a great location for drinks, celebrations and just a good meal. Only slightly negative is be aware it is noisey and lively inside so don't go here if you are trying to have a quiet dinner.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“These breakfast burritos are A DEAL!!!!No where in SF have I gotten such a great meal at Texas prices... In the Bay area!?Loved the breakfast burrito and breakfast bowl. The coffee is delicious and their bar setup is ultra cute.In fact the entire spot is well decorated and clean. We had great sest where we were people watching inside and chatting.It's located very close to all the big tourist sites and so quick. Perfect for on the go meal and very filling.Their hot salsa is... fantastic and. You better ask for two.“

“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 tamales are so good!!“

“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!“

“Great food and drinks with a beautiful atmosphere“

“10/10 would recommend! What a warm space and greeting we received! I ordered the sausage breakfast burrito and it filled me up from late breakfast through lunch time, and was so delicious!

Vegetarian options: Smoothies, vegetarian burritos, etc.“

“The best taquitos ever 😋 thanks Mayra they were awesome 🤩“

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

“Good foods!! Hip looking w a commune table.“

“Delicious tacos!! I got a fish taco and a birria taco & horchata to go. The fish taco was pretty good, but AHH the birria!! The best birria taco I’ve ever had (I wish I got like 5 more), and the horchata tasted super distinct and was great as well. There’s a little parking lot on the side too and an eating area in front of the truck. Ugh but yeah the birria taco is insane.“

“Another incredible restaurant in San Francisco. The Mole here is one of the best we've ever had, full stop. The portions are immense, and I can say that this is full on "home cookin'". I also want to point out how patient and gracious the staff was with our questions, and our broken spanish. Breakfast here is really a treat!“

“The place is very nice and clean. The portion of food is big and filling. Chips and guacamole are so fresh and tasty. The servers are nice and waiting time is good. Overall I enjoyed the meal ( breakfast burrito)- it was pretty tasty and fancy.“

“I do not frequent this area often but was in town for work. Was looking for a lunch spot and saw the great reviews and photos of the food. I opted for the Chilaquiles with carne asada red sauce. I'm telling you...it was the best serving of Chilaquiles I have ever had. Perfectly soaked chips with great sauce and onions...the meat was super flavorful. I will 100% be stopping by every time I'm in the area so I can try it all. Give them a try!“

“What an incredible treat to experience--AND it's situated conveniently in a residential area for accessibility!

The churros are delicious in their own or with a variety of fillings. My favorite is the caramelo (caramel) filling that's made with goat milk. (It's like dulce de leche but warrrrrm.)

The people who run it are also the owners, which means they're invested in creating a friendly, community atmosphere and gladly cater to special requests.

Be prepared to pay either cash, use Zelle or get cash back from the nearby Mexican grocer. There's no option for card payments!“

“The food was delicious and fresh.“

“People: do try the green pozole, breakfast burrito, chile relleno (the chile relleno is exceptionally good), and ceviche. I have tried the mentioned dishes more than twice and the consistency is always the same: excellent! Yum, yum!“

“My last time in this Taqueria was in 2017- it was great that time- ao i decided to go back today whole visiting SF again- it's still awesome. Great freshly prepared food, fantastic service and just a tasty Taco- it's a great place to enjoy a light, healthy meal for an affordable price:

Free Nachos included with a great Chipotle Sauce.“

“Best fish taco I've ever had!! Beautiful setting as well, in a nice area of Oakland (we do have nice areas, it's not all tent cities like media would have you believe)

Parking: There are a bunch of places nearby, a lot of cool little stores

Kid-friendliness: Safe and I saw a lot of children around“

“Really delicious! I got the surfer mermaid zapato which is a burrito but toasted crusts kinda like a panini. The habanero sauce (added after) was great and not spicy. Will definitely be coming back!

There’s an entire vegetarian menu page! No protein option, but still good.

Vegetarian options: Burritos, nachos, tacos, and sides!

Dietary restrictions: There’s an entire vegetarian menu page! No protein option, but still good.

Kid-friendliness: Ample seating. Bit dark and loud inside.“

“Amazing food! The Quesabirria are AMAZING! 😋“

“My fave place to grab n go some homemade muy rico tamales! It's literally a window you order at, limited street parking, but you can get thicc delicious tamales hot and ready to eat or to keep for another day. They last a week in the fridge. But mine never last that long. Chicken is my fave, the cheese is good too. Veggies is my least fave but I still like it! Huge portions. Quality people and hearty tamales. Go get you some from Tamaleria Azteca!“

“If you blink you'll miss it. I blinked and had to go around again, but boy I'm glad I did! Good clean cooking and welcoming server. I came by way of an a-fram sign while driving to and from a showing appointment -- I just wanted a quick something to eat. But all in all the three sisters do Mexican cuisine awesome. Great presentation, and yummy. #TheBrokerWithAHeart“

“Toda la comida está súper rica, un sabor único“

“Agua Fresca was delicious! food was so good, service was fast and accommodating. Atmosphere was well done. Great job Merkado SF. #GOGIANTS!!“

“Absolutely amazing experience love their happy hour specialty craft cocktails, the mango margarita w/ spicy rum salt was Top three margaritas all time !!“

“The customer service is amazing, enjoyed my margarita. A friend recommended their shrimp salad so that’s my next try. And of course I can’t forget, they gifted me 2 tickets to see Joe and Tamia at the Paramount and my sister and I had an absolutely amazing time!“

“GREAT FOOD, WONDERFUL SERVICE. EMPLOYEES ARE FRIENDLY. YOU ASK FOR SOMETHING EXTRA LIKE CHIPS, SALSA, LIME, THEY PROVIDE THEM WITHOUT HESITATION.“

“Quite possibly one of the best taquerias in Richmond, and that is saying something as there are lots of taquerias in Richmond.

The carne asada and al pastor are tasty. They also have fish or shrimp as an option too, which are just as delicious. Veggie options are available too, including butternut squash.

But my favorite cut of meat is actually the campechanos, which is a mix of beef, chorizo and pork. It’s cool to see a unique type of meat that not everyone offers.“

“the food's good, nothing was amazing but more importantly nothing was bad.“

“So happy to find a delicious and friendly restaurant that doesn’t close in the afternoon in my neighborhood. We have been there several times in the past couple months and I’m still trying new things on the menu. My husband tried the ribs which he said were the best he’s ever had and half the serving went home with him. It was huge! Desserts are exceptional especially the flan. I’m still exploring their vegetarian options but so far my favorite is their version of chili relleno. Come and relax and enjoy the food and friendly atmosphere!“

“One of the best Mexican meals I’ve had in SF—100% better than Chipotle, with all fresh ingredients. I highly recommend the noodle bowl and quinoa bowl. They’re only open from 11 AM to 2 PM, and I just wish they were open longer and on more days. A true hidden gem!“

“Excellent food- the new barbacoa is 🔥! Ezekiel provided excellent service and helpful recommendations…will return!“

“Tostaditas de tinga (de-li-cious)“

“Excelente servicio. El mismo dueño atiende con mucho gusto, si me hiso recordar los tacos de Tijuana. Recomendadisimos los tacos de cabeza al vapor!!!? 10/10

Vegetarian options: Just ask your dishes with out meat

Kid-friendliness: You could modify the dishes.“
