29 Best Mexican Restaurants in South San Francisco

“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 👍“

“Great experience at Los Metates. I ordered tripa tacos, nicely crispy, and carnitas tacos—both were delicious and full of flavor.
My husband ordered carnitas tacos as well, and even though I don’t remember the other one he chose, I know he loved them because he devoured them!

The service was good; the girl who helped us was friendly and attentive. The place is calm and comfortable, with tables available to sit and enjoy your food.
Definitely a spot we would come back to.“

“Cochinita Yucatan was awesome — we’ll definitely be back. The happy hour menu is such a good deal, and everything we tried was excellent. The quesadilla, chips and guac, and fish tacos were all standouts. The tortillas had exactly the right little crunch, and the chips came out fresh and hot. Great food, great value, and an easy new favorite.“

“This place has the best quesadillas in the Bay Area. I have been coming here for over 20 years and even when I lived across the bay I would come back to try the quesadillas. The burritos are very good as well. The 49er burrito is delicious. The workers are the friendliest kindest people. This is a family owned delicious hidden gem in SSF. A legendary historic friendly spot“

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

“Their flavor is top tier and always generous! I always look forward to this food truck being in the area - definitely gets busy around lunch time but it goes by fast, and absolutely worth the quick wait. You can call in your order ahead of time as well. Their quality of food is so good - very flavorful! Just go here and stop second guessing it - here you will be full and happy :)“

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

“nice food and cold beer.“

“HOLY COW!! This taco truck is fantastic. Ate here 5 times and everytime hit harder than the last. The ladies running it are super nice and helpful. The tacos are so tasty (may need a little more meat) and made to perfection. The gordita is a force to be reckoned with, bursting with flavor and so worth its weight in gold. All around great food truck... can of diet coke $4 was the only meh moment for me.“

“I had the Cabeza quesadilla and it was 🔥🔥🔥 the best cabeza I've ever had and I've had my fair share of good one's even some great one's... but this one is hands down the best I've ever had 🤤🤤🤤 definitely will be back! Thank you to the cooks and the customer service 🔥🙌🏾💯“

“This may be our new favorite spot. Easier for us to get to. We've tried the Super Prawn Burrito and carne asada super nachos. I recommend both. The chips have the perfect crunch/crisp. Salsas are all great too. I was too hungry so no photos this time. Will definitely be back.“

Highly recommend the tacos made with fresh pressed corn tortillas and a variety of meats. The crispy tripe was awesome! And loved the pastor, lengua, and carnitas as well. Go check them out asap!“

“El Santaneco is a great spot for authentic Salvadoran food! The food is delicious, full of flavor, and feels homemade. You can tell there’s care put into the food, and the pupusas and tamales are especially good! Everything is satisfying and hits the spot when you’re craving authentic Salvadoran cuisine. The atmosphere makes it a nice place to enjoy a good meal, whether you’re stopping by for lunch or dinner. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in South San Francisco and looking for some good and authentic Salvadoran food. Highly recommend! 🇸🇻🔥“

“Been putting off this small but annoying issue with my oven for way too long. Finally gave them a call for some routine maintenance and they came through quickly. Diagnosed what was wrong in no time and had it fixed without any fuss. Feeling so relieved not to stress over it anymore!“

“Wow, they have great food! The portions are large, and the flavors are wonderful. So many choices for proteins, toppings and salsa. My pollo verde meat was flavorful and very tender. I would definitely seek out this restaurant when in the area again. It's that good!! I wish I took photos.“

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

“Food was so flavorful and well seasoned. We are from deep south Texas so we didn't know what to expect since we had already tried other places in SF that lacked flavor. This place was honestly, not only the best we have tried in San Francisco, but also one of the top 10 in my overall restaurant list. 👌🏼 I highly recommend it! Food was delicious and staff was soo welcoming and kind!“

“Amazing food, big portions 😊“

“The pink pancakes, huevos rancheros and chiliques were outstanding. Loved the food. The place is in an odd location: industrial fruit packing district in a weird parking lot. We didn’t think we were at the right place because of all the fork lifts. Server was lovely. It’s not the best atmosphere for breakfast but the food was good.“
