    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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

    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.

    Chorizo breakfast burrito
    John D.

    Breakfast burrito is legit. Very very good. Small store front, couple tables inside and a couple tables outside. The staff is normal nothing extraordinary. The breakfast burrito is a chorizo style burrito. It's the only option. I'm not a chorizo kind of person as my first choice but this place has a good reputation for a quality breakfast burrito so I got what they offer. And I've been back again before I even wrote this post

    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

    Breakfast Burrito

    Holay! Why does this place not have more views??? It is a hidden gem? I had no idea what I was waiting for my tastebuds. We were in the area and were going to go to the famous burrito spot. Then saw a lot of people waiting for this spot. Apparently many yelpers saying it's the best breakfast burrito in the city. I admit I am not a breakfast burrito person. But this definitely was delicious! It had chorizo, fluffy egg, avocado, and most importantly crunchy hashbrowns. The perfect breakfast burrito. HOWEVER! The person working there told me her favorite was the chicken quesadilla. So glad I took her advice. This is THE BEST CHICKEN QUESADILLA! I am still dreaming about it.

    Breakfast Burrito
    Timothy N.

    Came by on a weekday morning and it wasn't crowded. I ordered the famous breakfast burrito and the order was ready in about 5 minutes. The staff were friendly and I felt very welcomed. The burrito itself was everything I expect from a perfect breakfast burrito. Well cooked ingredients and a good ratio between all of them. Without a doubt, this is in my top 3 best chorizo breakfast burritos I've had so far. The hash browns were notably very crispy so I will say that if you prefer your potatoes fluffier this may be a downside. Breakfast burrito was wrapped well so the experience of eating it was clean for me but the tortilla was thick at certain parts. The highlight for me was the sauce which had an amazing pepper flavor to it and it was creamy yet refreshing and bright at the same time. I wish I had asked for more sauce because I was literally drinking it. I'll definitely be coming back to try a different speciality.

    Hey munchkins! One of my best friends from college is back in town and boy am I excited! We've been walking around a bunch and we are now at Al Carajo! We found this place based on Beli and it was really good! We got a breakfast burrito with hash browns in it which was a stroke of genius! The one downside is that we got the burrito without the chorizo which it seems like it normally revolved around. It was still really good but I don't think it quite reached the peak of culinary excellence it was capable of. The burrito was the perfect thing for warming up on a cloudy overcast day like today!

    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.

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!
