    I recommend coming here if you just want a snack (but not a meal) or just don't want to spend a lot. Located on 3rd Street near South Park by a Shell gas station. They have a small table but just go to the park for one of the benches. Their tacos are cheapest amongst all the food trucks in this surrounding area of SOMA. Problem is their tacos are also the smallest and the fillings and add-ons are skimpiest. Usually, I can eat 3 tacos and am full or borderline stuffed. I had 4 tacos here and felt like would be hungry again in a couple hours.

    If you're in a lunchtime rush around South Park, this taco truck by the Shell gas station will do the trick. Decent tacos but note that they're quite small though. They're pretty speedy with the orders and I'm generally in and out in under 5 minutes. I like the carnitas which are moist and flavorful but the carne asada can be a little dry. The fish tacos are pretty decent too. As mentioned above, you probably need quite a few tacos to feel full. If you're looking for a more filling meal, you're better off getting a burrito or torta for lunch. They also serve breakfast burritos for mornings when you really need more than cereal to get started. Not the most outstanding Mexican taco truck but it beats the lines in South Park any day if you're in a rush. Note that they are cash only though.

    Al Pastor Taco - Tasty

    It's a good Taco Truck. I can't necessarily tell you every single element that makes this a solid little taco truck, but I can tell you that this one is solid. If you're walking down 3rd Street in SoMa, you'll find this place consistently parked out front of the Shell. I'd be perfectly happy to recommend this spot to someone craving some Mexican street food who would be walking by in the 'hood. I've eaten here a couple of times, although I think I only checked in once. The tacos were legit and tasty. They have a pretty good sized menu of other items as well. My theory about Mexican food is that you generally have to work a bit to do it badly - yet people frequently do, which baffles me. Clean, tasty, fast, good service. No dodgy meat. When I get a taco, it is full of good ingredients and it is clear the person who assembled it put forth some effort. I believe they also get here early enough for Breakfast Burritos, which I would be happy to try. They actually do have a table sitting outside the truck, but what you should do is walk over to South Park (no, not the foul-mouthed kids in Colorado) which is about half a block away. Not a shabby place to hang out on a workday and have a taco. Maybe I'm particularly biased because a random woman walked over to me while I was eating and said: "Are you Adam S. from Yelp?" True story. But, never blow your cover. I asked: "What's a Yelp?"

    Probably the best al pastor I've ever had and I love their salsa. Has a nice spice that you can't put down!

    Where do I even begin. I'd been hearing about this place all over social media, so I had to finally…read moretry it. We came early, and I'm glad we did because the line started forming about 30 minutes before opening. By the time they opened, it was already around the corner. The place has an authentic Mexico feel, from the look of the restaurant to the smells coming from the kitchen. The staff were incredible, but one of my favorite parts was being able to watch the whole process right in front of me. It definitely build up my appetite. I ordered two tacos de asada, and honestly, two were more than enough. These tacos were big and packed with meat. They do things a little differently here they used pico de gallo instead of the usual onion and cilantro. I asked them to add the onion and cilantro anyway, and when they came out, I was impressed. The steak was tender, juicy, and had a flavor I honestly hadn't experienced in a taco before. It had this deep, savory, smoky taste that felt completely different from the tacos I'm used to getting in Chicago. The meat itself was so well seasoned that it could easily stand on its own. The freshness from the pico balanced the richness of the steak, while the salsa brought a nice kick that stayed with you after every bite. Simple, but so much flavor packed into each taco. I'm really glad I finally got the chance to try La Taqueria.

    Went to La Taqueria for lunch during our San Francisco vacation. First of all, had to make a…read morelengthy line outside to order. They have a hostess with a podium just outside the door taking orders. We ordered and indicated that we wanted to eat in, in which case we continued to wait to be seated. They have someone in charge of seating people as well (much needed). This place is apparently a landmark. Old fashioned, fast paced, efficient, small, authentic, mostly delicious! Tried several of their tacos, the chicken quesadilla and a burrito. The burrito was delightful. Plenty of steak but still balanced and fresh. The steak tacos are also meaty and good. The meat is well seasoned and, being authentic, it is allowed to be the prominent ingredient. I would similarly describe the chicken and even the beef tongue tacos. What I loved the most, however, was the beef head taco. Immense and incredible flavor beefy flavor, not to mention that moat restaurants wouldn't dare having it on the menu. By far the best taco I've ever had. If I get the chance to visit La Taqueria again that's all I want to eat. Unfortunately there were also two items that I found to be disappointing. One was the quesadilla. Even though the chicken is good it was very greasy. The other was the pork taco. Didn't love the flavor and, again, a bit on the fatty side for me, which is not often my opinion on a pork dish. All in all, if you want to experience authentic tacos, go here. And... live a little! Order the beef head taco.
