“DELICIOUS🌮🍤🔥❤️👍🏽! 5 ⭐️'s! This is definitely going to be one of my new spots. Don't second guess if you are looking for some good Mexican food🌮🔥❤️. I had been fasting all day and just got out of my doctor's appointment around 530pm. I was starving on Taco Tuesdays😉lol. I looked up on Google best super tacos in San Francisco in the Mission area! Well,We'll, popped up with the most stars⭐️😉. I ordered the Tijuana style tacos🌮, handmade tortilla, grilled cheese, one shrimp🍤(Clean jumbo prawns👍🏽🍤❤️) and one steak, onions, cilantro and guacamole on the side. They were so nice💜! They even added in some chips when I asked do they come with chips. The chips were fresh and warm still. When I got home my food was still warm but I did have it in a warmer bag from doordash LOL. This restaurant was very clean and they also have the condiments of different type of sauces in clean squeezable bottles, self service packaging. Everything was delicious and seasoned to perfection. Thank you all🙏🏼! You just gained a new customer abd many more with my popular reviews 😉⭐️❤️🔥🌮! By Queen Diamond 👑💎😘“

“We were looking for a taco place with my sister and we found this place. It is very clean and very friendly. It is so delicious, especially the tacos al pastor and the burritos are super large. I recommend them“

“todo delicioso 😋 y fresco y muy limpio“

“If you're looking for a unique taco place, yet can't eat meat due to dietary restrictions, ima put y'all on Tacos Oscar -- one of the BEST taco spots in the heart of Oakland. This taco place is to NOT be slept on!

As I approached this place, the one thing I really liked was how hipster and how modern they made their dining experience. They're really with the political times, but besides that, they take making tacos on a WHOLE another level.

Their tacos are a little bit on the expensive side -- but because they're artisan made, that's what MAKES it unique. I tried their vegan broccoli taco, drowsed with their thick peanut and soy sauce. The tortilla was made out of 100% corn and nothing more than that. In addition, their agua fresca is on point.“

“Amazing Tortas, tacos, nachos, and more!“

“el sazón está muy bueno,las personas muy amables“

“really like this place because it's family-friendly and has a variety of food. I like it because they have burritos. I highly recommend it.“

“Came here for a baked potato and realized theres so much more to it than that! They had some delicious birria tacos and even birria ramen! The fish tacos were so delicious too. Im not usually one to divert from my usual agua de pepino but the drink with pineapple and i think it was spinach or something, i cant remember, but it was soo yummy too. The only thing that was really hard to figure out was parking. I spent like 30 minutes each time just going around the whole thing looking for parking. To be fair it was rush hour so there was a lot of traffic too.“

“👍🌮🌮🌮🌮🌯🌯🌯🍛🍛🥘🥙🥗🍤🍤🍗🌮🌮🌮🌮🍺🍺🍳🌮🌯🌮“

“One of my favorite places to eat in the WORLD! I live in Missouri now and it was my first stop off of the plane when we visited! Chicken taco supers spicy.“

“This may be the best Mexican burrito I've ever had, got the chorizo one! (I'm usually not super happy with Mexican food because I live in NC, but am from NM. Often Mexican food tends to be dry compared to New Mexican which swims in sauce. It actually may be difficult to find authentic Mexican food in NM because fusion restaurants are the norm (a Mexican place that doesn't offer chile).) Visiting SF - where I briefly lived years ago - I knew I had to take advantage of the good Latin American options. We tried going to Breakfast Little but their power was out, unfortunately. Al Carojo across the street just started experiencing power problems, too. This was our third choice, but it might have been my first, if I had first found the listing. It was the authentic experience I was hoping for. My partner had the breakfast plate with chorizo and his was fantastic also. Too bad we live so far away.“

“This place looks a little 'sketchy', BUT the food is very good. I was working an event at the Oakland Colesium, and this was the only place you could walk to. If you can speak a little Spanish, it goes a long way. I got the Cubana sandwich, and it was so big, I could only eat half of it.“

“Great quality, always get it the way you ask for it, reasonable prices.... I stayed on a late night truck run when my wife was pregnant. You could throw a rock and hit 5 taco trucks in the same area and none are as good. There's this one guy who always asks about my kids always is friendly but he's the same way with everyone, no favorites. Quality spot in the cut...“

“Really loved th3 food I recently had the pleasure of experiencing some truly amazing food, and I can't wait to share my experience! 😋 The flavors were so well-balanced and each bite was an absolute delight. From the appetizers to the desserts, every dish was cooked to perfection. 💯 I would definitely recommend this place if you are looking for an outstanding culinary experience. 🍽️ I'm already planning my next visit! #foodie #delicious #foodlover #yummy“

“Felt like I was back in the motherland (Mexico). The dark, sketchy street just adds to the atmosphere. This place takes zelle if you don't have cash. The tacos are 3 bucks a pop, and they fill them fat. Best dang taco I've had in a while.“

“I had a really nice lunch at San Marcos Restaurant. Order at the counter. Lots of great options. Price was excellent. Food quality was great. Will definitely be back. (The atmosphere leaves a bit to be desired, but the place was clean and the people friendly)“

“Tasty! The Asada was perfect and generous amounts“

“best street corn ever !! looking forward to trying there other stuff“

“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.“

“FANTASTIC BREAKFAST TACOS!! I can't recommend getting breakfast catered from Early Bird Tacos enough. Our order was delivered on time and I love that there was variety of tacos built into the order and I didn't have to pick which ones I wanted. There were even gluten free and vegetarian options. My personal favorite was the gold rush taco but they all sounded great!“

“visited for Lunch big dinning area and staff very welcoming, the atmosphere is great with classic 80's pop playing at time of our visit
good menu selection i went with the lamb Tacos and draft beer, the food arrived fresh prepared well presented. the lamb was fall apart with salsa full of freshness and flavour, the dipping gravy was perfect just enhanced the lamb flavour.

good Gluten free option easy to order with little fuss

this is a great value perfect casual dinning spot“

“I swear these tacos de Barbacoa are crack. SOO DELICIOUS!“

“delicious food, very very fresh. the Steak/Shrimp burrito was incredible“

“The tamales are so good!!“

“We had the pleasure of working with Street Meet Taco Truck for the Immerse Global Summit in San Francisco on April 14–15, and they absolutely exceeded expectations.

From start to finish, their team was professional, punctual, and incredibly easy to work with—exactly what you need when coordinating a large tech event. The setup was seamless, and they handled the crowd effortlessly, serving guests quickly without sacrificing quality.

The food was a huge hit. Every taco was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. You could tell they use high-quality ingredients, and the variety kept everyone happy—there was something for every taste. We received nonstop compliments from attendees, and the truck quickly became one of the highlights of the event.

If you’re looking for a reliable, crowd-pleasing food vendor that delivers both amazing service and standout food, Street Meet Taco Truck is an excellent choice. We would absolutely book them again.“

“I hope I find this in heaven. Hands-down, one of the best Carnitas I’ve had. Run out of a taco truck in a very unassuming location. Juicy, tender and they give generous portions. I got that fairly late at 2PM and everything was sold out except for the carne. The person I spoke to said to come early usually before noon if you want to have a taste of everything else. There are two tents set up with tables and chairs.“

“I'll tell you...the Tacos El Rey Food Truck is a great stop for lunch! I had to wait a while to pick up my custom made Harpoon heads from the Iron Works place so I walked over to the El Rey taco truck, and got a couple of chicken tacos grande, and they were amazing! The flavors and textures were deliciously authentic! 5 ☆☆☆☆☆“

“The fish tacos were really good, one of the best I've ever had“

“This is by far, the best taqueria in the neighborhood. I LOVE their tacos.

If you are new to San Francisco, do not go here. If you are not familiar with the neighborhood, do not go here...If you are numb to the horrible things you see in the Tenderloin (this is one of the worst blocks for that) you should take advantage of your thick skin and enjoy the best Mexican food north of Market Street. Plan on taking it to go.“

“Thrifty prices for this food truck if you’re hungry and near Hegenberger. It’s a good find particularly since they offer a $8 veggie burrito ? tax is included so that’s a bonus. I had the chicken one and it’s ok.-the red sauce was better that average and fresh radishes, pickled carrot slices and quality jalapeños.The churros were fresh, temperature hot, 10”, and outstanding— nice servers plenty of parking ?️ I will revisit ? grateful they are there ☀️“

“Food is hot. and super delicious“

“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.“

“UPDATE: Tacos Arabes!! So good!! Highly recommended.

This review is for their new truck on Roosevelt and 23rd. You gotta get the carnitas with the handmade blue corn tortilla. It’s absolutely ridiculous. So damn good. Unlike anything I’ve ever had. Lots of good fresh avocado in every bite.

They also have a delicious pecan agua fresca, which is unlike anything I’ve ever had before. Just wow.

Their salsa and their pickles are on point.

They also have lots of other fun regional stuff that you don’t find at other taco trucks. Pambazos, cemitas, huaraches, tacos arabes, etc. I can’t wait to try them.“

“tacos were bomb and the salsas were delicious.. we will be going back“

“Tacos Los Primos is a great place for real authentic Mexican food, whatever you choose is going to be amazing!
I ordered a bunch stuff for the day laborers that were helping old lady Pucklepuss straighten up her hedgerow and got a sampler of Taquitos while I was waiting, and they were the best I've ever had!
5 ☆☆☆☆☆ for sure, no shit!“

“Love this place. I used to get steak tacos or carnitas (with pineapple), but now I'm trying not to eat meat. They have 2 tacos you can mix and match. I get grilled veggies, nopales or fish and add beans for some extra protein. I have started going here every time I'm in the office. Deducted a star from atmosphere for the shady neighborhood, but they can't control that.

Vegetarian options: Nopales, grilled veggies, add beans.“

“Best tacos in town love pastor love the carne azada“

“Buen dia. This roadside taco stand is 🔥🔥🔥. Fresh tortillas, al pastor on the spit, suadero, tripas, a little table to sit at; it's a really nice family-run-joint, and cheap. I know I sound n smell like a gringo... but this place is the real deal. Sincerely, Mr. Poco Tonto“

“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.“

“Deliciosas las Militas de asada y los sopes ni se diga recomendó vista los tacos Las Palmas 🌴 te gustará se lo que te digo 🌹“

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

“I've been ordering from Tacos Etzatlan #2 for about the last 6 months consistently (though my belly has been unhappy about it). I am absolutely addicted to their food. In fact, this is likely the best food truck I've tried in my life! Make no mistake this isn't to be taken lightly as I am a huge foodie who is personally obsessed with trying tacos from everywhere I can (including doing tasting tours in Mexico).

My personal favorites are the asada tacos and their asada super burritos. I rarely eat an entire burrito that big but believe me, these are so tasty that I don't leave anything behind. My kids love this spot so much that they call them the best burritos in the world.

What's the secret sauce? The ingredients are so fresh, flavors stay in your mouth.

Options galore (tacos, tortas, burrito, etc) which have satisfied many cravings I have had. Customer service is A+ and it is Latina owned and run which I am always thrilled to support! They are fast but you can call in your order if you are in a rush!

I saw several reviews that they are cash only- that is no longer the case so bring your favorite plastic and enjoy!!

Do yourself a favor and support this small business with some incredible tasting Mexican food. I'm getting hungry just thinking about this spot :) Mmmmm...They close right at 1pm so be there before and prepare to be blown away.“
