    Soooo much food, salsa and sides!! But that rice + grilled veggies though... OMG!!!
    Mrs. Nic L.

    My original go to I was unavailable and their choice was charging me $25 per person then four days before the event they wanted to charge me $700 to feed 18 people. I then began scrambling and reached out to this company, and for 18 folks, I ordered 65 tacos in steak and chicken, and cheese, steak and chicken quesadilla and a pan of beans and a pan of rice and oh my goodness so many sides it was amazing. I even Amazoned chafing dishes with burners at the bottom to them to them!! They gave me plates forks gloves additional containers and everything...They were so accommodating so professional it was insane not to mention the veggie option was grilled onions and bell peppers and it was sooooooooo good!!!!! This food was absolutely amazing and it was incredibly affordable!!! I will forever be a customer of theirs I am incredibly impressed with the prices and the flavor because my favorite thing was the rice. Absolutely incredible!! We all got to take home to-go plates and my fiancé looooves it too... Customer f o r e v e r

    First of all, let me start by saying this. Recently, I was promoted to a new job that is very close to this Alfaro Catering Food Truck (ACFT). My new colleagues highly recommended this food truck as a great place to get some good Mexican food. I've eaten here twice within the past couple of weeks. Today, I ordered 2 super tacos- which also came with beans and rice. I paid, received my food and walked back to my office. After washing my hands I opened the container. I took a bite out of one of the tacos. "Delicious!!!" I said to myself. I reached for my fork to dig into the rice, and oh snap... guess what I saw... a f*ckin roach. Long story short. I got my refund. The worker apologized. I can tell he felt really bad. But, so are the roach images that I have in my head.

    Always love coming to the mission , my food expectations and needs when it comes to Mexican cuisine are always met here . Today i tried out Alfaro's and it was the best decision that I've made today . I ordered the lengua torta with a nice cold sprite for $11 . This is a deal when it come to eating in the city. The buns were nicely toasted which gave the sandwich a nice buttery crunch which complimented the mild sauce smothered tomatoes. Definitely a go to staple now when i return

    Great taco truck set up near Four Barrel, almost directly accross the street. Decided to try it out and I'm glad I did. Cheap, fast, and good. The tacos are stacked, cheap, and come in traditional taco truck style. The carnitas is well done, crispy and tender, and the Carne asada is tasty. Super tacos come with a side of rice if you are really hungry. Burritos are very filling, lots of meat with some rice and beans. I got the super for added guacamole and sour cream. Menu is pretty simple. But I did have someone behind me special order a quesadilla and a vegetarian burrito so it looks like they take special requests as well. And hard to beat $1 horchata. Protip: order the carnitas tacos. This place is simple, doesn't have a lot of fluff, but the food is oh so delicious.

    Love SF! You can walk by a random Taco truck and get some solid tacos. Alfaro slings well sized tacos with some good heat in their sauce. I might skip the carne asado next time and only get the pollo and Carnitas

For once in my life, I was forced to eat like a civilized man. On the outside, everything looked normal, but in the inside it was anything but normal: I had to open my third eye center so that I could ascend my primal instinct of going to town on this burrito. Equipped with a knife, I sawed thru that behemoth methodically - too fast and she would burst open, too slow & she would give me the cold side eye. I am the burrito slayer. Cash only, was very very well priced for the size (about $13. Receipt didn't make it out alive).

I have dined here many times in the past, and this is a cash-only restaurant. I ordered the Regular Burrito with Beef Steak ($10.25). The regular burrito comes with a flour tortilla, rice, beans, salsa, onions, and cilantro, plus your choice of meat or vegetarian. Meat choices listed on the menu: * Al Pastor - Marinated Pork * Carnitas - Deep Fried Pork * Chile Verde - Pork Green Sauce * Chorizo - Mexican Sausage * Carne Asada - Steak * Lengua - Beef Tongue * Pollo - Chicken * Cabeza - Beef Head * Tripas - Intestines I asked the cashier which meat was most popular, and he recommended the beef steak, which had a slight hint of spiciness. The burrito came with pinto beans and rice. I forgot to ask if I could substitute black beans. The burrito wasn't too salty, and the beef steak was just okay. I also think the $10.25 Carne Asada burrito is a good deal. At other taquerias, carne asada is often an additional charge or the burrito costs more when you choose steak. I usually ask for a receipt even when paying cash. When I checked my receipt, I noticed I was charged an additional $0.25 for "Bolsa To Go" (bag) even though I was dining in and didn't receive a to-go bag. It's not about the $0.25, but I think it's important for a business to have integrity and charge customers only for what they actually receive. I hope this isn't something being charged to other dine-in customers as well. Overall, I would come back to try a different meat, but next time I'll make sure to clearly say dine-in and check my receipt to make sure I wasn't charged for a to-go bag.

I got my food about 10 mins after ordering. I went with what was popular. The Dorada (toasted) super carne asada burrito was great, but I wish it was more toasty. It was softer than it looked and I assumed that was because they are frying it in lard ? But overall solid and great burrito. I thought the tacos are slept on here. Both asada and lengua tacos were incredible. Tortillas were really fresh and yummy, and they stuff it with a lot of meat ().

We came here on a random Thursday at 3 pm and surprisingly, the line still almost reached the end of the block. Luckily, the line moves pretty quickly and the food is solid, but be prepared to wait for a bit. My favorite meats here are the cabeza and the lengua. The cabeza is super fatty and tender and has the amazing shreddy quality of a slow cooked meat. It had the soft melty texture of collagen and was super delicious. The lengua is also really good. It was super tender and soft and had the distinct taste of beef tongue but wasn't too overpowering. The carne asada and carnitas had a good flavor but were a little bit dry for me. I think they would be better in a super taco or burrito where you have the extra fat from the cheese and avocado. My only complaint about this place is the price. I realize that everything in SF is expensive, but over $5 for a single taco and almost $9 for a single super taco is pretty egregious. There's food trucks all over the Bay Area offering cheaper (and almost, if not, just as good) tacos in my opinion.

A lot of people mentioned about the service, the mole, and birria. I am a big fan of birria tacos so I decided to give it a try. Because I would be coming from Philadelphia, I called to see if they have a reservation. Jose, the owner, who answered my call was super friendly and nice. He said that there's no reservations but he promised to secure some seats for us because the week prior they were really busy. At that point I knew that the service would be excellent. When I got there Jose and staff were super welcoming as if we've known each other for a long time. He gave 2 small plates of rice, red enchilada sauce, green enchilada sauce, mole with chicken tinga, and birria. Everything is super flavorful and authentic. It transported me to Mexico because I could taste the homemade cooking in it and the passion and love in preparing this amazing food. They take pride in the quality of their cooking. Both the chicken tinga and birria meat are tender and fresh. You can order the food at the touch screen at the counter. You can select your preference for the filling. My friend asked to separate the meat from the tortillas and separate consommé. Jose gladly accommodate her special request. Definitely above and beyond service. They provide complimentary chips and salsa. The chips are fresh and thin with 2 green sauce and two red ones. The staff warned us that the red onesie are hot. The salsa is very fresh and homemade. The mole sauce has a flavor that I can't find anywhere else. I could taste the chocolate but not very sweet. It's very unique and delicious. The red and green enchilada sauce are also phenomenal . Not too salty, yet light and packed with flavor. Their birria tacos are now one of my top ones that I've ever had. Very flavorful and not salty. Definitely recommend it. Guacamole is also a good appetizer because it is very fresh. The restaurant is clean with seatings at the front and back of the restaurant. I still cannot forget the taste of the enchilada sauce that blew me away. I left my heart in Cocina Mamá Cholita. Thanks you for a memorable dinner.
