    Fried Mac and Cheese
    Rebecca B.

    Really good fish tacos! Great portion and chips included. Salsa had a bit of spice! Very nice. California Burrito is decent. Pass on the fried mac n cheese balls. They gave a kind of spicy mayo as dip. Would love it if they had the Dungeness crab cake by itself with a lemon wedge or two. Would forsure return for the fish tacos and to try their shrimp tacos!

    Weird logo, that's no their name?

    A food truck with a suspiciously large menu, so it kinda feels like a diner on wheels. With such a wide offering, it's not surprisingly that the menu items are kind of hit-or-miss. The Philly Steak Sandwich was probably one of the worst I've ever had while the fish tacos were pretty solid. Hence, the 3-stars (averaging 2-star with a 4-star). Philly Steak Sandwich: If you're going to invoke Philly Steak in your sandwich name, then it should bear some resemblance to the famous sandwich. Sadly, not here. The "steak" was too thick and kinda gristly. The bread wasn't not that nice chewy hoagie texture, but kinda firm and crusty like ciabatta. And no Cheez Whiz. In a similar vein of deception, the advertised garlic fries were not garlic fries at all. Kinda felt like Sysco frozen fries with some Old Bay Seasoning. Pretty disappointing overall. Fish Tacos: The fish portion was very generous here, with each of the two tacos overflowing with fish. Was actually messy since it was so overfilled and had a lot of sauces. But if you don't mind getting messy, it kinda all works together.

    A weekly stop for me, a true gem in the mission Bay Area. Located a few blocks from the UCSF Campus, it is an easy place to grab a solid lunch or dinner. The quality is something that speaks for itself, it's a place I recommend my colleagues and friends to check out. The owner of the restaurant is also an amazing person and it's always a pleasure seeing him once a week.

    Caesar salad with shrimp
    Annabelle R.

    We stopped by this past Saturday for a late dinner, and service was fast and friendly. A lot of options to choose from on the menu. Got the fried mac n cheese balls, and caesar salad with shrimp, and both items were amazing! The mac n cheese balls were hot, cheesy, crisp on the outside, and a good size. The salad was huge and filling, fresh greens, plenty of plump grilled shrimp, and not overdressed in caesar, the dressing with just the right tanginess. Seating was plentiful after 8pm at Parklab Gardens. Parking isn't easy here though (better to uber).

    Their version of a Steak Burrito

    Ordered the Steak Burrito and was extremely disappointed. I should've read the description where it said there was lettuce in the burrito and should've known there wouldn't be any rice or beans. This is not your typical steak burrito. It's more of a wrap I would say. There's so much lettuce! The steak was just a bunch of fat pieces that I couldn't chew on either. I didn't even eat half of the "burrito" before I threw it away. They also have a California burrito as well which probably would've been a better choice. I've also had their crab cake sandwich which was just crab cakes with hamburger buns, a little bit of sauce, greens and onions. Honestly would've just preferred the crab cakes and sauce by itself instead. Their fish tacos and shrimp tacos sound a little better but I don't think I would give this place another try.

    I live in Mission Bay and I've passed up this truck for the past 10 months. I think that the menu is a bit overwhelming with the extensive list of options, so I made the wrong assumption that their food couldn't be that great. When I finally decided to give it a shot, I was pleasantly surprised at how yummy their food is. I got the fish tacos, and mmm they're so good! It also comes with chips and salsa, which were also perfect. Definitely coming back to try other menu items!

    Shrimp Tacos

    If you're looking for some heavenly seafood tacos, look no further than Chefs Work food truck at SPARK Social SF! The truck says "we taste better than we look" and that was so true!! Their fish tacos are grilled to perfection and seasoned beautifully, topped with the right amount of pico de gallo, cheese, guacamole and chipotle aioli (we opted for no cole slaw). The fish simply melts in your mouth and the portions are generous. Each fish taco included what appeared to be at least an 8oz filet. Sometimes with grilled fish tacos, the fish can be overpowered by the toppings, but thankfully it was balanced perfectly. The shrimp in the avocado shrimp tacos were large and juicy, also seasoned and grilled to perfection and topped with a similar chipotle aioli. Pleasantly surprised to get three in one order. Love getting excellent quality from a food truck!! Pro tip: Try going during the week if you can, less wait and you can sit in the tee-pees or other nice seating areas!

    Philly steak one of a kind, delicious.

    Being a native Bay Area person, I always heard about the burrito wars in San Francisco's Mission…read moreDistrict. Over the years I've found myself drawn to the other contender in the Mission way more than El Farolito, so I decided it was time to head back to try this legendary burrito shop. Getting to this location is super simple as we took BART and got off at the 24th Street Mission BART station and from there it's a very short walk of less than a block to get to El Farolito. Walking into the shop one is just slapped in the face with the beautiful smells of the carne asada cooking on the grill right by the door-it's wonderful. It's a modest place that you can definitely tell was built many years ago,so no overly modern amenities-this place cares about the food, not the ambiance. We ended up going with a couple of super burritos of Carne Asada ($11.25) & a regular burrito of Al Pastor($10.25) & also added two tacos one with Al Pastor and one with Carne Asada($4.75) They had beers at $4.75-so we grabbed a couple of Modelos. First the tacos-they were just ok,the tacos were crunchy and I don't know kind of gave Taco Bell vibes. Burritos though-that's a whole different animal. The burrito was so well made from the chew of the tortilla to the seasoning of the carne asada to the perfect balance and mix of all the other ingredients.I judge a burrito harshly if the mix isn't right and you don't get every ingredient in every bite and the mix at El Farolito was flawless. The price point was pretty impressive as well. In closing, El Farolito has always been in the mix as one of the top burrito spots in the Mission, and I can say with confidence that it's in my Top 2 in San Francisco currently. It's an incredible burrito and a true "must-visit" spot when visiting San Francisco. P.S. Just a slight heads up when visiting , it's not the safest neighborhood in the world, so just keep your head up when visiting-this is a place one visits for the food experience not the ambiance.

After waiting about 30 minutes, I assumed my order would be ready when I arrived. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. They don't actually prepare the order ahead of time you still have to wait in the long line, then pay and apparently have the order made afterward. Honestly, what is the point of calling ahead if you're still required to stand in the same line and wait? I understand that they may be busy, but the whole purpose of calling ahead should be to make the process quicker and more convenient. The food may be good, but the ordering process was frustrating and completely defeated the purpose of calling ahead. Two stars from me based on the experience.

Pretty big menu, if you're in the mood for Mexican this place got you covered.

    Review #1,092 Posted on 7.23.26…read more We stopped in here on a whim last Saturday the 18th. I found this spot on Yelp after the 1st place we wanted to go to for lunch had a line about a block long. This spot had super good ratings and was also close by. We were so happy we ended up here. There was a few places left to sit inside, and the World Cup semi finals were on too, a good game 6-4 England over France. The cooks were going crazy in the back when goals were scored, it was a fun dining experience. The food here was excellent, the chips were so fresh and crispy, salsa really good flavor and tasted great also. My chile verde was super tender and flavorful. I also tried my kids shrimp quesadilla, and it was great too. Food came out super fast and they still have people there to help you out with bringing the food out and take away dishes, etc. It's a order counter type, then you sit and wait for your food. Tips are in order here when you order as they do wait on you somewhat after you're sat. I would come back here 100% and recommend this spot for good Mexican food.

    Got here at 1030am on Wednesday, and I was already 6th in line. The line picked up more around…read more10:50 so if you come 15 mins before opening, you should be fine. 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 (). Would come back if I was in the area and got there within 15 mins of opening. Not sure if I would wait for it tho.

    La Taqueria is and always has been THE BEST BURRITO IN SF (in my very humble opinion)…read more I get it; that statement, about any particular taqueria, can get ppl super *up in arms* ...and I respect it. Nonetheless: This is my story, and I'm sticking to it. And, it seems like -- in the years since I identified this as my favorite, circa 2004 -- other folks are too, cuz this place has *exploded* in popularity! Omg. The most recent time I stopped by to eat was prob 2024 and even just since then -- such as last Friday when my eldest and I came by -- we could not believe the line...all the way down the street and around the block! (Hey it's well-deserved, so I guess it is what it is.) LASTLY: I think one of the key factors that makes their burritos SO good (besides the quality of ingredients & recipe, etc) is the EXCLUSION OF ANY RICE!! [i.e: no cheap *filler*]. Carry on, La Taqueria folks...

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.
