Never tried this taqueria but heard it was good for the area. To place an order you do it while standing in line (like a sandwich shop). The burrito is delicious however the place is a little stingy on the prawns & I had to pay extra for avocados instead of guacamole versus the other Taquerias that automatically put avocados in their burritos at no extra charge. When I went in the Taqueria, they have two TVs, but they were turned off + there was no music playing. The decoration is that of an average Taqueria. I am rating this place a three star however, it has the potential to be a 4 Star establishment. read more

I wanted a Mission-style burrito today, but didn't feel like driving to the Mission & having to search for parking. Luckily we have El Azteca here in the Bayview. I got a really good carnitas burrito & was in & out in less than 10 minutes. Note: cash only. read more

This place use to be great! They use low quality meat now and you can taste the carne asada that's not fresh. Please go back to fresh meat.... read more

$19 total for a mediocre super prawn burrito. You can get better food elsewhere for half the price

$14.75 super burrito comes out to $16.29 after tax?! Tax is only 8.625% in SF, so it should be $16.02. Please fix your math cause yall charging over 10% tax Otherwise a decent burrito in the neighborhood read more

Had my spouse pick me up a steak and prawn burrito it okay my go to place when I'm home thanks

Just went here for the first time because of my friend recommendation. When i first walked in I was greeted with a big "cash only" sign and a empty restaurant. It's a cafeteria style restaurant where you tell them what you want and they'll scope it up for you. The workers were friendly enough but there was one point where I noticed two of the workers hover over my burrito and whispering, but I didn't think much of it. I found out later they messed up my order but didn't want to remake it. Their taxes is weird, $13.99 for a burrito after sf tax should be around $15.21 but I was charged $16.08. I have read others complaining about them overcharging for tax and it seem like it's true. By the way the have a POS that takes CC but they don't use it. On to the food, even though they messed up my order and gave me the wrong meat I was hoping it was good enough that it didn't matter, but the food was nasty and stale. Everything had a old oil taste and the chicken tasted rubbery, even their guacamole is dark and smelled sour.. Never again. Please Be careful of this place, my stomach been hurting since I ate their old food. read more

Great portions. Nice staff. Thank god they had Lengua. Only thing i was missing was my radish and whole jalapeno, but my tacos were still yum and so loaded i couldnt even pick it up. Definitely coming back. read more

Horrible or service and if you complain about your food. The owner will personally literally throw your bill at you and say something under his breath. Worse service and food ever! read more

Steak and prawn burritos are fire!! The staff are friendly and the service is quick. I appreciate the freshness of the food.

I've been here a few times now and it's just OK. I've tried burritos and tacos. Tacos are definitely the safest bet to satisfaction. I'm a bit disappointed in today's transaction. I went in for a late lunch. Wanted 2 tacos with chicken, beans and some onions & guac. Simple, easy. In and out. I didn't know the guac had dairy in it. (Rarely do taquerias that make real guacamole use sour cream). Am I wrong here? Born and raised in SF and I've maybe seen this type of guac at maybe 2-3 other taqueria's. I told them that I could not eat this as it has dairy in it. The lady said well you're going to have to pay $2 extra. I'm like whatever, I just want my food, that's fine. Then, I go up to get the re-order and I'm told $3. I happily paid because they already seemed ticked off but I'm actually pissed. I even tipped them on the first transaction (as you should). Can the manager do something about this? Can I get a credit to like one taco or something? I ended up paying $13.00 + $1.00 tip for two basic tacos (Tacos with beans and meat, onions & guac/avocado). I was not issued a receipt for either transaction, which is a bit shady! I believe that I should NOT have had to pay for the avocado the second time around...What do you think? read more

What a treat this place is! I had the Chile Verde and it was delicious ! It was full of cubed pork , you get your choice of beans and came with a side salad tortilla chips and corn or flour tortilla ! What a value as well all this for $13.25!! The crew who work here were exceptionally kind and knew their stuff! It was so much food that I had to take home half which is a good thing because now I have a wonderful dinner to look forward to! I will definitely be back very soon!! read more

I like good burritos e.g., Lola's Taqueria in Belvedere. I got the chicken and the Carnitas super burritos here, they were completely terrible. The rice and beans didn't seem to be fully cooked. there wasn't enough meat or chicken. read more

I started coming to this taqueria because it is the only food place close enough to my work and it is a GEM. My favorite to get is the super steak taco and I get chips and salsa on the side and eat the taco filling with the chips. DELICIOUS!! I actually got addicted to it that I've been coming back more often. Their steak super baby burrito is so good and it is still big. I actually prefer their burrito than the popular mission burrito. I used to go to mission to get tacos and burrito's but since I discovered this place I stopped going and this is my only go to Mexican restaurant now. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this taqueria. read more

Never open. Came at 3 and they weren't serving people despite hours at 8... why? The best food is available food

Second time here AND IT IS STILL WONDERFUL!! Had the pork chili verde with black beans, salad and Spanish rice and they pile it on. Corn tortillas(4) on the side. The staff is very friendly and will accommodate your every wish. When you look behind the counter and see the food displays, you'll be amazed how clean everything is. The eating areas are also spotless. This is a MUST GO TO restaurant!! read more

El Azteca Taqueria - Chili verde plate - Mexican Near Me - San Francisco, California

What a horrible service, I called and they said that he could not speak because it has many people, I will never buy here again.

This is a small burrito store on the corner that is usually never open (or well whenever I want it). When I saw it open for the first time, I had to get it. Right when I walked in, the workers didn't even greet us or anything. Not the best customer service. They weren't rude, but weren't exactly friendly either. Regardless, I ordered the special burrito with steak. I liked it a lot. The burrito was huge! It was a very good meal. I would come back for the burritos for sure. They also serve a lot of different types of meat. I almost thought it was Indian food. Not sure how great it would go in a burrito but maybe on a food plate. Also, they gave complimentary chips but for almost $10 for a burrito, it better have come with it. The salsa they provided for the chips was also very good. read more

I picked up four burritos today for me and my family. We enjoyed the super burritos with guacamole and had 2 chicken and 2 carne asade versions. I love their fresh horchata and Coke in glass bottles too. A great neighborhood taqueira! read more

SO GOOD! Hit the spot. My partner brought me a regular carne asada burrito from here a couple of night ago & fell in love at first bite. I thought she got a burrito from pancho villa or el toro because the quality kinda was in between those two places. i just got a burrito again for myself today & wow they're consistent. the meat was seasoned good. the tortilla on the burrito nice & soft. most importantly their salsas are REALLY good. i went with the salsa verde & spicy pico. verde hits. the pico though whoa. just like el tepa in the mission, its straight freeeeesh minced jalapeno. so beautiful so green & the juices in the saucer taste so delicious i drizzled on my burrito. wow just wow. you got a regular in your hands, people. read more

I noticed the cook preparing my food and the cashier where wearing a facial mask but they are too loose because they keep pulling it back and not washing their hands after after doing it as is required by Health department specially with COVID going on I hope San Francisco Heath department can come and educate them of healthy and sanitation , my visit at th establishment was for about 10 minutes this type of Restaurants thinks that just because they are operating on " the hood " they don't have to follow safety and sanitation , the salsa was warm too it's supposed to be cold it's pico de Gallo y salsa verde health department help , the service is terrible I called tacos in and I got there the cook was not even notify the cashier came out and instead of apologizing his behavior was don't yell at me I turned my face at him because I was not talking to him and I said I am not yelling at you and he said get out I refused to serve you I a insure him that it's hard to speak with face mask on.

El Azteca Taqueria - The 2 super Tacos De Azada - Mexican Near Me - San Francisco, California

I've been coming here for years and their nachos are the best but I had a really bad experience a couple days ago when I went. I requested some chicken with no salt for my mom who has high blood pressure. This new young man that I've never seen before, he was sooo rude!! Told me a couple fibs, got smart, start talking in Spanish as if i didn't know they were talking about me! I told them I wouldn't spend another penny in their establishment!! Food is 4 star but customer service is terrible read more

After driving by this place for so long, I decided to eat here. The carne asada burrito was semi-good. Too mushy for my taste. The combo plate which included, taco, chile relleno, enchilada & flauta........ALL HORRIBLE! It tasted as though the cook was barely learning how to make Mexican food. The chile relleno batter was too salty and oily. Flauta was soggy. Taco was tasteless. I started to laugh on the inside, when I was watching how he was making my enchilada. Not the right way. As I sat there, tasting all my food, there were some customers there already eating. I could here them say things like, "wow this is good." "They have real good Mexican food here." I laughed from the inside and shook my head. I wanted to tell them, "Really?!! You consider THIS good Mexican food?? Yall really need to travel." After a couple of bites, (I feel bad but), I threw my food away. In conclusion, this is a Mexican joint for people who don't know what GOOD Mexican food REALLY taste like. read more

Disappointment on Top of Disappointment!!! How is it that a Wilted Salad with Chicken is more than a Super Steak & Prawn Burrito? I asked for a refund and It was denied by "Manager on Duty", Diego, the youngest employee working at this location right now. I expressed that I don't want the food and still he says he Will Not refund my money. This establishment uses Square so there is no way that they could not reverse the transaction. Never Again will I support this Business!!! read more

This is a great spot to eat Authentic Mexican food. Burritos are very delicious, price and size is right.

Food is good but they always change the price every time I go in and order the same thing. I always get a super burrito nothing extra and I pay anywhere from 9.89 to 12.60. Everytime I ask them why the price change they act like they don't know what I'm saying and just look at me like my crazy. read more

The food was terrible I order a super veg burrito and it was not good at all.Better places to eat.

Food is very good but I stopped going because they don't take debit or cards. So inconvenient! I used to stop on my way home but no more. Back to the Mission district. read more

hmmm. I was expecting the tasty power of Montezuma to destroy my tastebuds upon the first bite. He didn't. It was all just okay. I had to try the shrimp diablo, chile relleno, and the horchata. those will give you a good idea of how awesome or not a Mx place really is. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't horrible at all. Just needed more salt, spicier salsas, and better coating on the chile rellenos. Plus, the menu is somewhat confusing when you order a la carte vs dinners. We were overcharged by a whole meal, when I specifically ordered so I could just try the two things I wanted. That's an extra $10! I don't go to taco shops to spend normal amounts of dinner money... I will go back though, being that it is really close to my house. I'm a sucker for a huge cheap menu, and taco shops are notorious for having those. To end on a high note, their beans were pretty good. Their horchata was some of the best I've had. All the staff were happy and had good service. That makes it worth going back. read more

Their prawn burrito is pretty solid. Good quality prawns, good salsa, good beans, etc. It's a bit expensive, but it's very filling. For Mexican food outside of the mission, it is quite good. It's a neat, clean, store with friendly workers that speak good English. It's not worth going way out of your way too, but if you're in the southwest part of the city it's definitely a good lunch option! read more

The only taqueria place I go around my work area and have the ability to communicate. NIce corner place with a huge selection of anything mexican. Just because of their steak and prawns quesadilla....I gain about 10 lbs around lunch time....comatose from 1pm to 4 pm. All I can say is....damn...that's one tasty quesadilla. It comes in burrito style as well. This one time I decided to try out their taco....I was caught a little bit off guard. They really stack your meat choice with beans and salsa. Actually, I believe it's like 3 inches high of meat slapped onto a few tortillas and mixed wit beans and salsa with a slice of lime. Yummie. They also have the cocaine coke...err...I mean...the mexican coke....tastes better than the ones in the can. Euge pointed out something to me today about the mexican coke...they use real sugar...instead of the "high-fructose syrup" method in the US..... ....yah....i think everyone is thinking what I'm thinking.....huh? why would u know.....oh nevermind...let's eat. read more

On Mondays, I get the cravings for Azteca or (Ghetto-burrito). I get the same thing every Monday: Super Vegetarian Burrito Green Rice Spicy salsa Whole Beans Everything, no sour cream For here Aqua fresca (lime) The staff are always surprised for some reason. I have been coming here for years and they still treat me like a tourist. The food is good- a bit salty and is very expensive for what you get. Which is odd, considering the location of this joint. Sort of like charging $10 for soap and $1.50 for beer at your local bodega. Probably why I will never be rich, I just can't think of brilliant ideas like that. Oh well. Best part about this place is the consistency of the grill cook. Every time I go in there he is chopping some sort of meat and he is cooking shrimp. I can hardly wait for Monday. Yum. Probably should change the name to crack-burrito. I need my fix. read more

When ever I get a craving for some delish mexiCAN food & i'm at work, I head here. Prawn "super" tacos with spicy salsa & guac are fantastic. I've had the chicken too and its always moist. And they have three choices of beans! Plenty of seating if you want to eat there, and the parking situation isn't bad. Somehow its pricier than it seems; 4 super tacos and 2 drinks is around $20, but its damn good! read more

One of the best burritos in San Francisco. They ain't cheap, but go for the Steak and Prawn Super Burrito (approx. $9.00). It will be the best $9.00 burrito you've ever had. This place is out of the way, but if you are down on 3rd Street and hungry, check it out. All of the meats and other items are always good. The quesadillas are huge, and very popular. I think you can have an inexpensive meal here, if you don't order prawns. Be sure to not lean on the glass, or the security guard will give you a warning to step back. read more

I loved this place for take-out. The food was super delicious. My order was made wrong though... I asked for chicken enchiladas with verde sauce, but they put red sauce on them. Bummer! However, the red enchilada sauce was good...just not what I asked for. Flavors were excellent and portions very large. read more

I love this place I started going coming there when it first open the quesadillas are the bomb all the burritos are good and I used to get the shrimp and rice and avocados and salad it's just all very good I really enjoy this place and you can watch them cook and that's very important read more

Oh Mexican food, how I adore thee! I wish I was a poet because I would write a poem about El Azteca. It's a hole in the wall, but it's clean and has tasty food. Also, I love hot, hot, hot sauce and beware, when they say hot they mean business at this place (unlike at many others!). Service is friendly and with a smile, and you can even grab an insanely cheap beer to go with your food should the mood suit you. Also, they tend to have the most selection of the taquerias in the area so I would suggest hitting this place up if you want something other than the usual fare. Also, the downside - they close early. Why, oh why, do you close so early El Azteca? :( read more
