If you leave the airport hungry or just in the San Fran area, this little Taqueria is a hidden gem. Hands down the best tacos we have ever had in our 50+ years! We got chicken tacos and beef. I believe they slow roast their meats then grill them up to order. Nice and crispy edges. Salsa Verde so good you can drink it! We just happened upon it and got lucky! Ate too fast for a photo! Oh, and try their homemade pineapple juice drink!

The attention is very bad, the lady at the cash register looks like Dora the Explorer, she doesn't serve kindly, it seems like someone is begging for free food and not paying.That lady urgently needs to take a Customer Service course.The cost of the food compared to the seasoning and flavor is not very good.We ordered some stuffed chiles and some burritos and they were not cooked well.I do not recommend this restaurant at all.

Good Mexican food. Service is alright. Casual place for a quick bite. We live the burritos and the chicken plates.

As you can see from the photos I love the nachos. I go with my family but when my nachos come I’m like ‘na-chos, amigos’. They’re piled high with all the fixings - refried beans, melted cheese, carne asada, guacamole, sour cream, pico de gallo, and when I’m feeling dangerous - jalapeños. But the best part is the flavor. These nachos are so good I look forward to licking my fingers after I clean the plate. Speaking of plate - you gotta ‘eat-in’ if you get them, because they don’t hold up too well for take-out. For to-go I recommend the carne asada super burrito or quesadilla suiza. In any event, take out or eat in, check out La Morena, you won’t be disappointed.

Apparently I love Mexican food. This place reminds me of where I grew up in the sac valley. Delicious quality ingredients, nice people. No frills. Burritos are great. Al pastor , carnitas and grilled chicken. The highlight is their crispy tacos. So good. Any meat. Rich and delicious.

Ordered a carnitas burrito for the first time here. The carnitas was just like boiled pork. I guess they also don't give you chips and salsa like most places usually do. I paid $2 for an order. Their menu is so old, they seriously need to update their menu with current prices. The only reason I came here to give it a try was there pico de gallo which Taqueria Las Pencas doesn't offer. Do yourself a favor and give them the business instead, better service and better food.

Ordered enchiladas via doordash. Says right here vegetarian, nothing about any sort of meat. I got them and they were stuffed full of chicken. ): Please fix your menu as it's misleading and unfair to vegetarians to order food when you're hungry, pay for it, wait for it, and then to receive something you cannot even eat. Thanks for nothing guys. Will not be returning or ordering again.
Horrible service. Period. Full stop. Came in to get birria tacos and I politely asked if they had them. The woman at the counter proceeded to yell at me saying I didn't know how to read the menu. There's no sign saying anything, but I told her I heard from coworkers that they had it. She said it's only on the weekend and proceeded to stack some containers. I asked her if I could get Carne asada enchiladas to go ansshe said no. She said she was busy. It was 2pm on a weekday. Wow, rude. So I left.

My pasty complexion may lead you to believe i know nothing about Mexican food, but my heritage and addiction to Mexican food tells a different story. San Francisco is blessed with quality burritos, and La Morena is one of my favorites. Not getting Al Pastor is a bigger mistake than DC hiring Ezra Miller to play The Flash. Thank me later.
Amazing food for a good price. I would come back here any day and highly recommend to anyone wanting good Mexican food. Service was extremely commendable and the environment is great to eat in.
