The food is very good and the carne asada and ranchero steak are very economical for 12 dollars in other places it is 20 for the order of carne asada

Always an amazing experience here! The people are kind and always get the order right. The burritos will run you about $12 but huge and I can always get two meals. I ask for them to cut it in half and bag it separately. That way i take half to work or something else. Street parking only

The food is hit and miss. I ordered the burrito and tasted very bland. I ended up not finishing my burrito.

Worked at Zuckerberg General as a Porter ( Custodian ) and this places saved my life daily for like two years...... Covid sucked buttcheeks, so it was amazing to come here on a lunch break and pickup greatness.. just made the day better.

This is truly one of my favorite Mexican spots in the whole bay area. The veggie burrito is to die for, creamy, salty, and so good with the spicy green salsa. This is a small hole in the wall spot that doesn't have a ton of tables. Most people dining in are there late at night/after drinking.

Tacos here are huge and so tasty! Decent amount of seating inside and quick service. Very casual joint. Must stop by to complete your trip in SF!

I remember El Farlito in the Mission was so good, a burrito and a bottle of glass coke always hit the spot. I came to the North Beach location today with high hopes. I ordered a chicken super burrito and a horchata. The chicken burrito had HUGE chunks of chicken breasts in it. I bite into a piece with fat. It came with rice and beans but no special sauce. It was an OK burrito. I prefer the chicken pieces to be smaller tho. For $10 it was a huge burrito and worth the money.
I usually go to the mission branch of El Farolito, but this time, I was around Chinatown and decided to try the El Farolito location here. The store was right next to some fancy European restaurants in the North Beach area; it was small-ish but clean and have several tables for sitting. Between the 4 of us, we got a super burrito for ~$10, super quesadilla for ~$10, and super quesadilla para dos for $14. Initially I thought the super quesadilla para dos was just going to be a bigger quesadilla that can be shared for two, but it turned out to be 2 full sized quesadillas. It was a great deal since other Mexican places have been charging $14 per quesadilla nowadays. The para dos quesadilla also came with a BOX filled with guac and sour cream (instead of being inside of the quesadilla), which we then shared among the group. Every item was stuffed with meat and cheese, and we got everything in whole wheat tortilla for some additional nutritions.

Signage stenciled stylishly in the style of a western poster “ wanted dead or alive “ ; it’s a not an inviting place to sit , eat and ruminate or read but I love its vegetarian burrito and the service is friendly. I am a regular here. And I wish the place had a warmer atmosphere; the interior design here is utterly thoughtless. The cold draft makes sitting here impossible. The Indian girl checking me out warmed me up real nice .

3.5 stars but rounding up to 4 The prices are for sure reasonable at $10.30 for a super burrito. The steak burrito was a good size, nice toppings but steak was a little salty. The customer service definitely needs improvement. The 2 guys behind the counter were too busy chatting to get the to go orders out. A lot of tables inside I wouldn't go all the way here for the food. But if you're in the area. Street parking is difficult in this area

The burritos here lived up to the hype for sure! They are a large portion, so technically one burrito could be two meals, but they were so good that we ended up eating the whole thing.

This is consistently good. For dinner last night had the shrimp burrito, The shrimp were large and cooked perfectly, and the burrito was filled with them, very generous. All fresh ingredients and great flavor. Big fan.
