    Tiny spot. Big flavors. We lucked out, beat the crowd and grabbed a seat inside before the line started wrapping out the door. For breakfast we ordered the chilaquiles and the breakfast burrito. Everything tasted amazing. The chilaquiles were packed with flavor and came with chicken tinga. The breakfast burrito was hearty and flavorful as well. Both meals were satisfying and exactly what we were craving. The salsa also deserves separate recognition, it was incredibly good and the perfect amount of heat. Service was efficient and the food came out fast which was perfect because I was starving. Overall, 10/10. Worth the wait if you hit the busy hours but if you can sneak in before the rush, even better.

    We went at 8:30am on a Sunday and there was no line. I tried the breakfast burrito and it was pretty good & filling, and I liked the sriracha cream mayo. The hash browns were crispy which added a nice texture, but they were quite oily. It's a small place with some seating inside and outside. Service was friendly & efficient. It was easy to find street parking nearby early in the morning.

    This place was pretty good. I got to try the Ube chicken taco chicken tinga and I like that it was delicious. It was juicy put tomato on it the sauce with shredded chicken and I liked having an avocado also with the salsa Verde on it, and I had the water some Sanya drink so good shout out to my homie for my and sharing this food with me the what is it queso Birria pizza that was OK but the Uber chicken tikka Tinga is the one I like that Shout out to the service too I got to sit inside. Service was friendly and even help clean up our table in the end so very thankful.

    I had a good experience at Al carajo. The food was pretty delicious & the service was nice and quick. I got the chilaquiles - had really been craving it for some reason... it was pretty delicious. I thought the blend of flavors was done very well. The chicken was nice, flavorful, and juicy. I thought it was impressive the chips stayed crunchy even with all the toppings. The eggs and onions were good too. I also really liked the salsa - gave it a little bit of heat & some nice flavor. Service was really quick here. They had my food out in just a few minutes. It also wasn't super expensive! I enjoyed sitting outside on the sidewalk. Overall I'd recommend this place. Good food!

    Al Carajo is the real deal. I finally made it out to the Mission for some tacos and stumbled into Al Carajo not knowing what to expect. Ordered the tinga tacos and honestly was not prepared for how good they were going to be. The sauce. Let me talk about the sauce. It was smoky, rich, and had this slow building warmth that just coated every single bite. You could tell it was made with actual care and not something that came out of a jar. The chicken was tender and pulled apart perfectly, soaking up every drop of that tinga sauce like it was made for it. The vibe of the spot fits right into the Mission. Unpretentious, no frills, just good food with personality. Service was straightforward and the portions were solid for the price.

    Breakfast Burrito
    Christine B.

    Really enjoyed the breakfast burrito here!! Love the crispy hash brown that added some texture in the burrito. I wish it came with another salsa and/or pickled onions! Everyone that helped us was super nice. The space is a bit small and gets crowded but you can always take your burrito elsewhere to enjoy.

    Came on a Saturday around 9:10am and there were a good amount of people. The inside is small with a couple seats inside and a couple tables outside. I imagine if it's super busy, it would be hard to sit. Waited around 7 minutes for our breakfast burritos to come out. Overall, the burritos were good! I didn't except the chorizo to have a ground beef texture. Although there were hash browns, I felt the burrito was lacking a crunch to it. It also was quite oily so the oil was getting everywhere. To me it is not the best breakfast burrito, BUT it is up there. I would come back!

    Wanted to try this place cause apparently it was the best breakfast burrito and some foodies swore by it, lol. It is just ok, nothing crazy but decent. Pretty decent amount of meat which I'll give them that. Greeted when I came in, the place is small yet busy, nice music playing, a few seats inside and there is outside seating. One of the workers is very attentive, getting food out, cleaning and tryna make room for other people, lol. I mean I'd definitely wanna try other breakfast burritos before coming back

    I love breakfast burritos, and I was told this was THE spot to get them. I honestly prefer breakfast burritos to regular ones, and I think it's because of the egg element. And I reallyyyy liked the egg in this one- it was fried over easy instead of how it usually is in burritos, scrambled, and I think the over easy really made a difference. All the other fillings were so flavorful and not overly oily as burritos can sometimes be, and the sauce it came with was pretty spicy! Probably the only thing I would note is that there were some large folds of plain tortilla, so I guess it could use more filling (or a smaller tortilla). Nevertheless I will be recommending this to anyone who wants a beautiful burrito in SF.

    People always say X is the best in the city and I'm often afraid of being disappointed. I usually don't like breakfast burritos, but this was really delicious. The burrito has egg, chorizo/sausage, and nice and crispy potato. I loved the addition of the potato, it is such a good texture to add into an otherwise mush burrito. The burrito appeared to be pretty small, but it was satiating! The restaurant itself is pretty small. It has a nice big open window with limited seating indoor and outdoor. The service was fast. Food came out in less than 5 minutes, but I was the only person in the store, so it might be different on a busier day.

    Valencia fish tacos(two tacos)
    Marlena S.

    I live in the city and have tried many taco places, people often recommend La Taqueria, but I think Al Carajo may have them beat. The fish taco was crispy and didn't have any fish taste while still being flavorful. Conchinita was VERY juicy and the verde salsa was a perfect match. Pastor taco was crunchy and not oily! Tacos ranged from ($9-$12) on the menu. Michelada was not lemony but still really good, it was on the sweeter side with slight spice. Some places water down Miches but this one could be drank over time while adding more beer to the mix. Overall atmosphere: music is playing, outdoor seating, and very kind staff I can't wait to be back with a group of friends.

    Torta de Chilaquiles
    Luis G.

    As someone who takes their chilaquiles seriously, I had to try the Torta de Chilaquiles and overall, it definitely delivered. The bread was perfectly toasted with just the right amount of crisp on the outside while staying soft inside. When you bite into it, you get that satisfying texture immediately. The portion was generous, packed with saucy chilaquiles, tender shredded chicken, queso fresco and fresh cilantro. But let's talk about the eggs, they were honestly the star. Cooked well, flavorful and they tied the whole sandwich together beautifully. That's what made it feel complete. Now the only thing I'd suggest....Turn up the heat. Flavor wise it's solid, but it could absolutely benefit from more spice to really wake it up and give it that bold punch chilaquiles are known for. Overall, a very satisfying torta and one I'd order again, just with extra salsa next time.

    Breakfast Burrito  Ceviche Yucateco
    Nini M.

    THE BEST BREAKFAST BURRITO. The crunch, the spice level, the amount of chorizo and egg. It was perfect!! Must try! I dream about it. We also got the ceviche which wasn't that great. It came with the whole shrimp and not cut up. The sauce was okay. Wouldn't get it again, not worth $18. Customer service was great. Our food was brought out to us. The sauce for the burrito was really good. I'd go there every day if I lived in the area. Seat is limited and we waited about like 15-20 mins for our order. Overall, i would come here just for the burrito!!! Their tables are on the sidewalk so it's a nice brunch spot to people watch and city seeing

    If I don't eat pork, can I get chicken in the breakfast burrito instead of chorizo?

    Unfortunately we only make our burrito with chorizo or with out chorizo. We are working hard to get a bigger kitchen so we can have more option on our menu. I really sorry.

    I'm excited to try this place! Are reservations needed?

    Hi no reservation need. We only have two tables inside, no tables outside because the rain.

    Do they have Birria tacos here? I don't see a menu uploaded?

    No we don’t do birria tacos sorry.

The restaurant is located right outside 24th St Mission BART station, and there is almost always a line out the door. Goes by fast though! There are additional benches outside in a small courtyard, so don't be deterred by the narrow space inside. A small detail I liked was the sink was outside the bathroom so I didn't have to wait in the bathroom line just to wash my hands :P I truly underestimated how much they will stuff in one taco ($4.75) and one super burrito ($11.25). Like truly, oh my gosh. I was full off two tacos, to give you some perspective. I saved my other two tacos and burrito to share with my parents, and all 3 of us were full. Off 2 tacos and 1 burrito!! Amazing. So much bang for your buck! I don't think you can go wrong with any of the meat options, but I can personally vouch for the tripas (intestine), cabeza (beef head), lengua (beef tongue), and al pastor (marinated pork). The tacos come with hot salsa inside of them, so I would order them without it if you don't like spicy. I also loved the two hot sauces it came with to pour over! My cousin, a food snob, raved about their super quesadilla ($11.25) so I'll have to try that next :)

A few people were already in there eating, and we know this place is good, as a few others in our group and I have been here multiple times. The Taqueria is typical of any other, with bench-style chairs for folks to sit on, a water station, and workers cooking it up in the kitchen. I wasn't too hungry, so I grabbed a Super Lengua Taco, while my friends grabbed burritos, we ended up grabbing 3 complimentary chips and guac/salsa with our order and the food came out pretty quickly. When I saw my Taco I forgot how much they stuffed it and wow, two of these would've filled me up just like a taco; there was so much Lengua that it kept falling off after every bite. The flavors all came together and I scruffed down the whole thing after about 6+ bites! Definitely a place to come to if you're looking for a full meal, or something to snack on!

I loved how you get an option to toast them or not. Because there is no rice, it makes the burrito easy to eat and you dont feel too sick after which is problem I come across burritos often.
