“Great tacos, fantastic salsa, excellent little hole in the wall taqueria. Daily special was fantastic, and the buche and carne asada were both to die for

Kid-friendliness: Family-friendly, arcade game available

Wheelchair accessibility: Normal doors, but access is at-grade on a fairly level parking lot. Counter is a bit high“

“Taco food truck.
They were friendly in their treatment and explained our questions about the menu. It is very economical and the price quantity is great!
We made a combo of tacos and a churro. Both the al pastor tacos and the chicken ones... they are all delicious.
The only bad thing is that there is nowhere nearby to take them, although they have a couple of chairs to wait for your order.
I recommend it!

Parking: There is something super in front and people park to order and pick up.“

“Absolutely everything is so good. The owners, the team, the food, the drinks, the atmosphere. I couldn't love a place more.
They are known for the roast pork which i highly recommend. I've been here several times and ate at their food trucks. Never had a bad experience. ??♥️“

“first time trying this cute little spot, only ordered tacos and would definitely come back.

- tongue ( tender and soft, not too gamey)
- shrimp ( my favourite, ordered 3)
- al pastor ( also got 3, delicious)
- carnitas
- asada

You would not regret ordering them as “taco especial” (guac, sour cream, and cheese) if you can.

I love their chips & their self serve sauce corner.“

“Todo está muy rico recomendó al 💯😋👍🏻“

Thank you Marta for your excellent service, the food was amazing ?! Marta keep the smile on her face ,even that I was a super busy day she was making us feel happy with her service! A big plus ,for the restaurant for having people like Marta!“

“I was there with my daughter and we both have great appetite. plates have plenty of food and it was delicious so much that my daughter bought extra hot sauce she really enjoyed it well so do I. highly recommended and I will visit you guys again whenever I go back to California.“

“La Tapatia makes The Best " Carnitas " I've ever tasted "Muy Bueno" I buy Some at least 4x a month with freshly made Corn Tortillas ummmm 👍“

“I got the combo plate #4 which included a taco, quesadilla, and shrimp. For the taco, I asked for carne asada. The seasoning of the meat was very good and flavorful. The quesadilla was in a corn tortilla had crispy edges which made it even better. The shrimp was peeled and deveined. It also had a crisp to it which made it great. It also came with rice, beans and small side salad. The churro was freshly made, warm, and perfectly sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon. Love my food. I recommend this spot!“

“Eat here you will not regret it“

“We visit this taqueria when we come to Half Moon Bay and have never left disappointed. I love their Piña Loca. It is full of many different things such as shrimp, octopus, pineapple, pork (bacon), and so much flavor it is so good. We also got their Al pastor tacos and Birria tacos witch were also full of flavor and delicious meat. They have a great chips and salsa bar.“

“Food is excellent as we ordered tacos and a torta. We ordered the special namesake torta and it was very good and large. It had hot dogs on it and all sorts of other ingredients. But the winner was both the pollo and al pastor tacos with real good sauce and it was moist and delicious. I would recommend ordering it spicy as medium was very mild. It’s a food truck kitty corner from the see’s factory on El Camino. All the tortillas are made fresh on the spot.“

“This took me far too long to write, but I wanted to find the right words to say. My husband and I had been waiting two long years to get married. We postponed twice because of the pandemic and in the course of that time changed our venue to San Benito House. Let me tell you, that was the BEST decision we ever made. Not only is the venue itself incredibly beautiful and the food so delicious, but Kai and his staff bent over backwards for us and all of our guests. Kai is the ultimate hype guy and he took what normally would have been a stressful event to plan, and made it so easy and fun. I would (and will) recommend that anyone who is wanting a Half Moon Bay wedding, that this is the ultimate place to go. Our guests are still talking about the day and if we could, we’d do it 1000 times over just to experience the magic again. Thank you, thank you, thank you! To Kai and the incredible staff, you are truly THE BEST.“

“Few $ more, don't follow Google maps prices but good hot fresh food better then tres amigos hands down, Good quality fish n meat, lil pricey but can't go wrong with any of the food here been coming for here variety for years. Only reason not 5 stars cuz they charge extra $ for delicious salsa and chips

Parking: It's right off hwy so it's good n bad“

“This review is solely on food as it's a food truck and it's service and atmosphere is about as good as any food truck around that being said for me their food is really really good their El pastor and carnitas is delicious their carne asada is flavorful so that equals to very good tacos and burritos which is all I've had from this spot. Def worth going out the way a lil bit to get food from this truck. ??“

“My son and I YELPED for Mexican food.Good Mexican Food, and decided to give this place a try. I had the Spicy Shrimp Plate, and my son had the Steak and Spicy Prawns. They also provide Tortilla Chips and a Salsa Bar. The guy who cooked our food, knows how to cook! My shrimp was absolutely a balance of green/red peppers, onions, in a slightly sweet, savory and mildly spicy sauce. The Rice was done just right(not dried out).The Black Beans, were tender, with just the right amount of salt. The Iceberg lettuce and sliced radish was cold, fresh and crispy— Served with a dollop of sour cream, avocado sauce; a slice of tomato and sprinkle of Mexican cheese top the salad - it did a nice job to balance the heat of the main course. Everything was well executed. The overall indoor atmosphere is very clean, simple and no frills. Love their neon menu signage. And, their prices are reasonable. Thank you for the delicious meal. We will be back.“

“I love this place! The food is really good. The handmade fresh tortillas are my favorite! You can’t go wrong with the paloma plate or the Thursday special “Carne en su jugo”. The service is wonderful, makes me want to keep coming back!“

“Quite tasty. Stopped here on road trip down the coast from SF. Burrito (veggie) was enormous but it was so nice I finished it off. The little included salsa and chips bar (emphasis on salsa) went well with burrito. Daughter had a quesadilla that she liked.

I accidentally left behind my backpack with some very important things. We discovered it was missing 1.5 hours away and drive back. They found it for us (via telephone) and saved it for us. Cannot express how relieved we were to recover it.“

“Living just two blocks away, I made it a weekly ritual to dine here, and it remains my absolute favorite spot for street tacos. While I miss the salsa bar, a casualty of the pandemic, it was heartening to find the tacos tasting just as delicious as they did six years ago during my recent work trip. It's reassuring to see that this gem is still thriving.“

“Todo está muy rico recomendó al 💯😋👍🏻“

“These are probably the best tacos I've had in the Bay Area! They are so good and it's a good bang for your buck. If you are in the area, definitely try them.Also, I asked them their hours and they said 10am-10pm, Monday-Friday. Hope this helps!“

“No bathroom, Can't go wrong with anything here! Sometimes flies inside the restaurant but better then mordida/ tres amigos, same quality as gallina(good), burritos are gettin skinnier (not super meaty) tacos are ok for price point but still imo the best in hmb, definitely my go to noticed they don't put as much meat as used 2, I'll b back“

“These guys are exactly what we we’re looking for! Great margarita’s and really good food!“

“Place has amazing food and service!!“

“nice food and cold beer.“

“Delicious food great atmosphere“

“Good taco salads here in their San Bruno location. It was $11.29 + $2.49 for the added steak. That crispy flicky taco shell revivals the best of them. Free chips! If you want to mix it up, their mango salsa is a very unique La Salsa thing. They tend to get rid of the mango salsa during the holiday season though. Plenty of seats and service was excellent for a counter ordering restaurant. The cashier is also the chef.

About La Salsa, I used to visit their SF Battery St. location near my office in the 2000's before they closed. Also previously in the 2000's, I used to visit their Mountain View location every other Saturday before going to Fry's Electronics. Their food is healthy if you order the right things.“

“Is a good Hidden Gem of South City. There are lots of taquerias, and some of them have their own niche, Los metates is no different. This place makes their own sauces, Albeit the variety of salsas is not so vast as what you would say a Pancho Villa would have, but the food quality of the meats and how they prepare everything is second-to-none! It's a very good high quality taqueria!!!“

“I work in downtown South San Francisco. I have tried every Mexican restaurant in this area. Los Cuates is the best Mexican restaurant in this area. Their sauces are fantastic. My favorite dish is the enchiladas which comes smothered and cheese with lots of salsa, meat, beans, and rice.“

“The nachos with carne asada and a michelada! That is a perfect meal.

Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian and seafood options.

Kid-friendliness: We come with our grandkids and the staff is welcoming to us.

Wheelchair accessibility: There are no steps and the restaurant is at ground level.“

“First time I ate here was at this city wide event near the eco center downtown So San Francisco and the line to get food was around the corner literally. The food was fresh, hot and good portions for their prices is like paying a little for a lot more than what money is supposed to get you especially in ssf Bay Area okay. Lol.“

“Amazingly delicious tacos,burritos. The more i say the less it is about the taste. Very cost efficient as well , the portion size are huge for the price without compromising a bit on quality.Will love to keep visiting.Such a lovely, hardworking lady she is❤️.“

“The best of the best! Highly recommend“

“Great food. Fantastic value. Don’t tell people, it’s already too popular 😃“

“I just left the place and I have an explosion of flavors in my mouth that I can’t describe. LOVE IT I been many times in many areas in Mexico every place food seasoned are different and amazing. This taco truck impressed me with food flavor (steak) and carnitas was a spicy pork OMG.. their taco sauce is very nice and balance. I’ll be back very soon ? love this truck“

“La Morena is one of the originals in South San Francisco and one the best taquerias around in the Bay Area. Everything on the menu is good the service is fast and friendly. I have been going to this restaurant for decades and will continue to do so. It's a South city staple and just great food every time you go. 5 stars!“

“Fresh ingredients, delicious food; we enjoyed everything we tried. I'm just sorry I didn't try the habanero sauce; it would have been a little mild for me if I hadn't added jalapeños. For our tastes, knocks Chipotle out of the park!“

“This is the best burrito in the peninsula, hands down. This is what a burrito should taste like! I've been coming here for decades, and the consistency stays the same. It's always a great price at $9 super burritos! The service is always friendly and even if it's crowded you still don't wait long for your food! Also, the original El Farolito in SF invented the burrito.“

“First time here….Mexican sandwich with carnitas… OMG so delicious“

“second time here, love the Ramon Biria with a side order of Quesabiria.“

“Cute spot. Love the Halloween decor they put up. Came here upon recommendations from someone who used to live the area. Have been here twice now. I don't eat Mexican food often, so my opinion may be biased, but this is probably one of my default Mexican places to go to. If I only had one fault, while it might just be due to the price of rent in the area, the price is a little more than I would expect. And after confirming with the person who referred, the location does seem to have raised prices over the years. Unfortunate, but does not deter from stopping by for quick and good burritos and qusadillas whenever in the area“

“The best tasting Mexican food ever! I always order their Cabeza De Res burrito. Very few Mexican food trucks sell cows head. But this taco truck introduced me to this very flavorful dish. Please don’t hesitate to give tips, they always makes me feel so happy with their “piping hot foods” and free crispy warm nachos.“

“un sabor authentic Mexicano. tortillas hechas a mano. Todo muy sabroso.“

“La atención y la comida muy buena“

“I recently dined at The Super Burrito in Millbrae and was thoroughly impressed. While I didn't try the burritos, I highly recommend their fajita tacos. The steak and chicken were both incredibly flavorful and cooked to perfection. I also sampled the 'Super Taco,' and it was a feast for the senses! It was generously filled with delicious ingredients and was surprisingly light for its size. The restaurant itself has a lively and casual atmosphere, making it a great spot for a quick and satisfying meal. I'll definitely be back to try their famous burritos next time“

“good food with huge serves.. very casual.“
