Ammend my original review. 1st review was 5 stars 3 weeks ago. Today its a 3 stars here is why. I went there today,Taco Tues: I went there last week,Not Taco Tuesday. Credit card machines there are 2 never work right. Ask for signature and a pin code, and without both just goes through like today?? i went 1st time 3 weeks ago on Taco Tuesday. Quality and quantity- changes, from each visit. Payment is always problematic by machines. 1st visit excellent large & great quality for value, i had 3 regular tacos from Taco Tuesday$ 2.00 each-1 large pieces of seasoned-chicken, 1 carne-asada-beef, 1Bbq-pork. Had cilantro, red onion,sliced radish, it had only 1- lime wedge for 3 tacos-?(No extra charges- 2 side 1@ Tomato-salsas, 1@ tamatilo-with bag tortia chips) side order avocado sliced 1.75. & given- with a napkin, fork,Rate- Excellent. I found a gem. 2nd Visit-Next following week on a Friday this was last week--i tried a big-!everything on 1-beef taco rice beans, guacamole, onion radish Missing No-lime wedge. Not as good as regular taco a little tasteless rice beans, ( AGAIN- NO charge i recieved bag good tortia chips +2 salsas) still very large and rating pretty good. TODAY:3rd time VISITED'- Taco Tuesday:A Little-Dissapointing- Not same quality at all-not same now no chips or/ and not- recieved 2 salsas either.. today didnt ask if i want bag charged me extra. . 25cents, and there was No Napkin, no fork, and not given -no chips, no salsa, no tomatillo sauce, but this time-i got 2 lime wedges for 2 tacos. Chicken very tiny pieces, beef ok & both tasty- flavorful but not like before, not generous like 3 weeks ago. NO CHIPS, with 2 tacos, no salsa, no napkin, no fork.i really dont think-Not as good as 3weeks ago-either-the seasoning on chicken was not same, nor size of pieces. Well all in all-a little dissapointing...quality isnt maintained as i expected from 1st visit to next 2 visits.. But still $2.00 ! A taco still a good deal. I will visit again & then will see how it faired.

Beyond quesadilla was incredible!

The only place in the Bayview area with real guac! Their garlic tortillas are magic. Love this place.

They have a two dollar taco Tuesday ALL DAY and a free drink with any purchase! The al pastor was amazing too!!! Carne asada not recommended though but worth $2

Delivery was great. Food not so great. I hate sour cream......guess what was on top of my taco salad. Yes, sour cream. Scooped of what I could. Wasn't worth it.

After receiving a 20% off card for El Capitan, I found myself wandering in for lunch one day. Indoor dining is open again, but since I live nearby I decided to do take out. I called in the order to pick up and pay at the restaurant. The order: California Breakfast Burrito: Can I just say I love breakfast, but I hate waking up in the morning? El Capitan does all day breakfast foods, which makes it great for people like me. The burrito itself was delicious. Big chunks of bacon evenly scattered in a burrito loaded with French fries, guac, and eggs. It is not a "real" burrito, but it is delicious and well worth it. I was pretty full on half of one alone. See my other posts about burritos: it should have three things. 1) Good filling (check, albeit not traditional), 2) well wrapped (check. This thing held together like there was glue involved. Delicious glue). 3) Fill you up (check. I ate half of this and was already full). Garlic Shrimp: My Mission-raised self decided to try and pronounce this correctly. I'd give myself...an 80%. She knew what I was saying, but her repeated order was much more accurate. Maybe I can say I know Spanglish... This dish was pretty great as well. The shrimp was nicely garlicky and not too overpowering. The shrimp cook was just right - not overdone and not...raw. It came with a side of warm tortillas, choice of beans (I judge you if you don't do refried), rice, and some veggies. The shrimp itself was cooked with onions and mushrooms. Side note - the tortilla chips! I love them. It's light and thinly sliced and very crunchy and delicious. I may need to just get bags of them constantly. The service was friendly and fast. They have a plexiglass guard for the staff to stay safe and practiced plenty of social distancing between her and the staff in the back cooking. Everyone was well masked and seemed to be COVID-conscious.

This place does takeout! I called in and they are opened everyday. I ordered a super burrito and regular nachos. I would skip the regular nachos. The nachos were soggy and looks like they just put it together. Wasn't the best tasting nor aesthetically pleasing. The super burrito was alright but a little pricey. It's your typical burrito you would expect from a Taqueria. My burrito had very little sour cream and rice on it. This is probably the best Taqueria on San Bruno Avenue. I want to come back here but probably would only order the burrito again. The service and workers are super friendly and kind. Their service is fast too (my food was done in less than 15 minutes)!! I want to contribute to support small businesses so it's a 3 out of 5 for me!

Just had another shrimp burrito and sadly it was just okay. Definitely not as good as the first shrimp burrito I had here so they need to work on their consistency. The shrimp was still well cooked! And I still appreciate that they put tons of shrimp. But I can already tell what went wrong with this one. This had far more rice and far less guacamole and sour cream and therefore was overall more dry. You can easily see the difference in the cross section between the last burrito I had and the one I had today (see pictures posted). Hopefully if you come and try the burritos, you get cook who I had on the first day I tried it lol
