    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.

    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.

    Caesar salad with shrimp

    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!

    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.

    Tacos El Patron is still my go-to spot for birria tacos in the city…read more Food: I first discovered birria tacos during the pandemic and went on a mission to find the best one. A coworker recommended this place, and now I recommend it to everyone. What stands out is the balance--everything is done well. The meat is rich and flavorful, the tacos themselves are just as good, and the consommé ties everything together perfectly. I've tried places where one part is strong but something else falls short, but not here. You also get free sides like onions, cactus, radish, and beans, which make the meal even better. I've been coming back ever since, and I can easily finish three tacos in one sitting. On my most recent visit, I had two birria tacos and tried their birria ramen. It was surprisingly good--comforting and flavorful, more like a homemade dish than anything instant. For drinks, I've tried all their jugos, and the jamaica is the standout--get it in a large. Service: Friendly, efficient, and straightforward. Orders come out at a good pace, and the staff keep things moving even when it's busy. Ambience: The space has a Frida Kahlo-inspired design, which adds character and makes it feel lively and unique. There's one restroom available. Parking: Parking can be a bit difficult in the area, so expect to walk a little--but it's worth it once you get your food. If you're serious about finding a really good birria taco, this is one to try.

    We were visiting from out of state and this was our first bite when getting there…read more Ordered over the phone and got it quite quickly, the workers were also super nice! We got two carne asada super burritos, they were very reasonably priced for SF and pretty big as well. It was also really a nice surprise that you get fresh tortilla chips with the burrito, and the salsa from the salsa bar was really delicious as well. My only qualm with this burrito is that it was very oily all over, not sure why. Would love to come back and try their quesabirria and nopales, though, looks delish!!

Despite how packed it was, the restaurant was clean, the atmosphere was lively, and everyone working there was incredibly friendly. I ordered the burrito while my friends went with a variety of tacos. After trying both, I actually think the tacos are the stronger option. The burrito was flavorful and packed with a generous amount of guacamole, but it was very sloppy. With all the delicious juices from the meat and veggies and no rice to soak everything up, it fell apart pretty quickly. Thank goodness there is a single restroom in the back, which came in handy afterward to wash up. The tacos, on the other hand, were btter balanced and held together much better while still delivering plenty of flavor. The prices were also very reasonable considering how popular the place is.
