About El Castillito

Located near the Painted Ladies, El Castillito offers a delightful Mexican dining experience. Despite its small size, the kitchen's hustle and bustle create a welcoming atmosphere. Customers can order tacos, burritos, and enchiladas directly from the cooks, enjoying hot plates and a variety of salsas. The restaurant is known for its flavorful Al Pastor Super Burrito, cooked on an actual spit, as well as the Super Taco, which is a great deal at $8.75 and comes with a side of rice and beans. The pollo asado is flavorful and well-spiced, with good portion sizes. Some customers have noted that the Super Burrito, while excellent, is only slightly different from the regular burrito, which can be a more economical choice. They heat up the meat fresh to order, and the salsa bar is self-serve and well-loved. El Castillito is praised for its fresh ingredients and quick service, making it an excellent choice for those looking for authentic Mexican food in the Castro area. The restaurant provides enough space for indoor dining and is conveniently located near train stations, making it a solid neighborhood option for those craving delicious Mexican cuisine.
