“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 👑💎😘“

“Great food, good service, and a wonderful overall experience.“

“While visiting San Francisco’s Presidio National Park and the nearby Walt Disney Family Museum on August 11 2023, we came upon several food trucks parked up, one of which was El Fuego Authentic Mexican. It had the longest line of them all so we figured the food must be good. The delicious smell also was a big draw! We joined the long line and waited patiently for 15 minutes to be served. As we neared the truck, a lady crossed out the fish tacos on the menu - they must have been popular. We had to quickly rethink what we’d like to order. We went for the following (to share): 🌮 Combo de Lux 🥤 Mexican Coca-Cola (500ml in glass bottles) x 2 The Combo de Lux consisted of: Soft taco x 1 Mulita (sandwich taco) x 1 Quesabirria x 1 Consommé (broth) Pots of mild and spicy salsa We were given a pager so we would know when to return to the hatch. It was an exciting 10 minute wait while the tasty delights were freshly prepared inside the food truck. We took our food over to some large plastic rocking chairs on the Main Parade Lawn (opposite the Walt Disney Family Museum) and tucked in without delay. The food was incredible: full of birria-style beef, cheesy, spicy, tasty, juicy. We had to take great care when eating it, as it was a breezy day and we didn’t want to make a mess. The consommé was new to us. We didn’t dip the quesabirria into the broth - we drank it! The flavors were very rich, with a little spicy kick. El Fuego really was a good choice and just what we needed for lunch having walked many miles around San Francisco. These were our first authentic tacos in California and the benchmark has now been set very high!“

“The food was delicious and fresh.“

“This place is fantastic!! I’ve ate a million burritos in the Mission, tried damn near every spot… but man that carne asada burrito I had last week might take the crown… that first bite I think I made an audible moan, ohhh lawddd 😤🤣“

“All of their food is delicious🔥🤤😋“

“Great experience!great food! family oriented.. takes you back to your roots. We had a huge group. we all tried something different, and we shared everything. it was all delicious. for dessert we had the churros with the Mexican melted chocolate ...delicious!!!!“

“Awesome experience and great food.“

“Staff is nice. Food is good. Baja tacos are good & the California burger & onion rings. Love the soft serve ice cream, especially the chocolate. This location is exceptionally nice, spacious clean, they do need a little more attention to making sure table have been wiped down but overall clean. Lovely outdoor eating area, spacious indoor dining.“

“Super delicious the best ever food number 1 Great people hard workers best food“

“super rico todo! buen precio y atencion amiable y rapida.“

“obviously a point of contention, but I find it better than the( overrated ) el farolito. the al pastor is for real, and not just tacos, they make it work nicely in burrito form too. carne asada burrito also excellent. super reasonable pricing. feels like sort of a lesser known hidden gem.“

“The restaurant is oppressively loud. My 6yo was upset about how loud it was the whole time; my husband was so overwhelmed after an hour he was itching to leave; and my 11yo son, mom, and I were frustrated that we had to yell at each other to be heard.“

“Love this place, I live in the neighborhood and it's one of the best burritos outside of the Mission!
Burritos are great, service is great, everyone in the truck is so nice.
In fact, I think I'll get a burrito from Street Meet tonight!“

“Good portion, reasonable price, delicious food and super friendly staffs. They don’t even ask for tips, but they bring the food to you and keep checking in to see if everything is okay. Small local business who are not greedy and accepts cards, and cares about their customers.“

“This place has the best Mexican food we’ve had. We were visiting San Francisco from DC and wanted some authentic Mexican food. Once we saw all of the rave reviews for this place, we decided we had to go and our experience 100% lived up to the reviews.

When we arrived and were taking a little while to absorb the menu, the very kind man at the counter offered to let us try all of their sauces so that he could make a recommendation for us. All of the sauces were delicious, but we each gave our favorites and he recommended that we each do a mix and match enchiladas plate. They were phenomenal.

I want to emphasize that these are genuinely kind and warm people. On top of offering to have us try their sauces without asking, when we sat down they brought us a basket of chips and three salsas on the house. We felt taken care of in a way that stands out compared to other restaurants.

If we lived in San Francisco, we would be regulars here. Definitely coming back any time we visit in the future! 10/10 would recommend, no notes.“

“This place is way under the radar. Super great value, counter service but they bring you your food and bus for you. Big salsa bar in the back with flavorful salsas (you can really taste the smokiness of the peppers in the red sauce, and the green sauce is wonderfully tart). And most importantly, the tacos are SO DELICIOUS!!!!!!! Handmade tortillas. JUICY chicken. Flavorful garnish. Tasty poc chuc. Pastor with pineapple chunks.“

“Newest restaurant open in Union Square. Incredible food. They are so kind and give back to the city.“

“Chingonas las quesabirrias“

“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.“

“The veggie taco bowl was only $5 and it came with cheese, guacamole, sour cream, salsa and chips. This is definitely the BEST lunch deal I have come across in SF!! Looks like they have a great selection of other dishes for super reasonable prices as well. Most people on a Friday at 1pm were taking their food to go, but there was plenty of interior seating, including counter height window seats with a cute tile counter. I bookmarked this place and will definitely be back!“

“We ordered 50, pre-wrapped breakfast tacos for our daughter's birthday and Early Bird DELIVERED! They were precisely on time, considered our special instructions to give more of a few varieties than others, and were very communicative and lovely throughout the whole experience. Our guests (including several 3-5 yr. olds) LOVED them! 10/10 would recommend.“

“good tortas and burritos!“

“El Tepa is a good one, but due to my busy schedule I haven't made it by until just now. My bad! It has friendly people, less crowding than many taquerias, and good food at a nice price. I suggest that you eat there!

Parking: Parking not as impossible as it is for much of the Mission District!

Kid-friendliness: Quite!

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“A delicious torta, and a super nice person! I have that terrible cilantro gene, and the proprietor took time to think through the menu and let me know what never had cilantro and where it was easy to take out, and was all around kind and personable. I ate this torta in the sunshine by the lake- a perfect lunch.“

“excellent Place. Their quesadillas are massive. enough food for two meals.“

“Super recommended The fried fish and super delicious 🤗 and also its juices and the dessert Flan A1 🙌 and the excellent customer service 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏“

“Leuk tentje waar we heerlijk hebben gegeten. Met veel vegan opties was het even kiezen! Als aanrader hebben we beide een homemade juice op. Ananas en meloen en die smaakte beide verrukkelijk! De nacho's en guacamole waren ook erg lekker en alles werd mooi opgediend! Aanrader als je in SF bent! Updated from previous review on 2025-07-17“

“Muy rica la comida de todo un poco“

“Had dinner last night. The rotisserie chicken was yummy. The people that work there were very nice. DEFINITELY will go back“

“Love the food and the service. Staff are all so professional, courteous and diligent! 5 Stars!“

“Mi Comedor is the first Mexican restaurant (outside of the Mission) that truly hit the spot for my burrito cravings. I don’t think I ever considered getting a burrito around the Ferry Building before today.

I was blown away by how flavorful and saucy the burrito I ordered was. The combination of black beans, rice, sour cream, and a bit of guacamole was perfectly balanced.

I’m definitely becoming a regular and will be keeping this spot in mind for a Ferry Building neighborhood lunch.“

“07/13/2025 I got the giant or whatever it's called asada burrito, it was perfect. The meat was succulent. When you cut it open you can see the tomatoes and lettuce and sour cream mixed well with the beans and rice very balanced. They also have an off the hook chicken Verde. They cook everything fresh and keep it warm behind the glass where you can see it. I wish this place was where I lived in Sacramento.“

“Best tacos in town! Always friendly too.“

“Super recomendado las quesabirrias las mejores, el agua de chile muy rrico, los tacos con su especialidad las tortillas hechas a mano y con su sabor muy sabroso un lugar muy bonito para compartir con la familia“

“Had a birria super burrito. The tortilla was nice, soft and tasty, however, the burrito and birria itself was quite dry. No amount of sauce helped saved this burrito. I don't even think I tasted the avocado. I probably should've just stuck with my regular carne asada but I'm not sure there'll be a next time for that. Given the restaurant's high reviews, I'm sure I just ordered the wrong menu item. I should've checked before letting my stomach decide. So yeah, skip the birria super burrito and order one of the other menu items recommended by others.“

“Great place after handball“

“BEST LOBSTER ROLL I have ever had in my life!!!! They use a grilled Hawaiian Roll for the bun and the lobster was grilled and buttered. Coleslaw was thin sliced with Cilantro which was unique and yummy! We also ordered the Calamari which was fresh and yummy. Great selection of other fresh sea food. Sushi options as well.

They had outdoor seating, but there are no heaters.“

“We loved this cute little restaurant close to Chase center . Best salad with chicken and great fish dishes. It’s between third and 4th (across the Uber office and the chase center). There is the ucsf parking lot and garage door open into the alley. You can’t miss it. Also we love their homemade sauces. Must try and highly recommended .“
