food is very good. only thing we didnt like was the portions. i got 2 plates and a menudo and we are still hungry. portions were very small. read more

YUMMY! A cheap eatery that serves up delicious pupusas?! Count me in! I went here because I read about how tasty the pupusas were and boy was everyone right. I ordered the combo plate with TWO large pupusas revueltas (mixed meat, beans, and cheese). They were cooked to perfection and it came with a side of rice and beans. Total damage: $6 How can you beat that? Next time, I would prefer to get the pupusas alone. They are enough to fill you up. Plus the beans and rice are a bit on the bland side. read more

My fam and I went to SF to visit for the first time and as soon as we got off the airplane, we stopped at El Taconazo because we were starving and didn't know where else to eat. My fam and I loved this place!. The food was amazing, the service and ambiance as well!. The owner and her daughter gave us different drinks to try(aguas frescas) and even gave tips and wrote down places to visit! Would definitely visit and recommend this place !! read more

Gives wrong change!! Make sure you count your money when they try and give it back. I got a super burrito (9.95$) and I handed her a 20$ bill and she proceeded to only give me back 2 dollars. I went back in and told her the change was wrong and she gave me another 2$? The change should've been 10$. She tipped herself 6$ bucks. Don't go here unless you want to feel robbed. read more

I've been coming here since 2004... used to be $5 fat burritos... now it's $15 skinny burritos... I'm talking about as skinny as a beer bottle... guess the kids took over and got stingy read more

I like this place. I was in the neighborhood at the post office across the street and noticed this place. It was around lunchtime and figured I might as give this place a try since I had time to kill. Keep in mind that the parking on the street is metered so if you are going to a business in the are you are most likely only going to have an hour at the meter. Anyway, I headed across the street to check out this spot. You walk in and you immediately notice how small it is. Maybe 15 people max can sit inside this place. The next thing that I noticed was that there are only two people working at the time I arrived. There is one male and one female worker. When I approached the counter I was immediately addressed by the male worker. I ordered the super burrito which seemed like the right choice for me but unfortunately I could not get it with black beans, SMH!!! Once the food was ready I was out. This was the first place that I had been to in which I paid under $10 bucks for a super burrito! When I finally got a chance to eat this burrito I was cool. The lack of black beans was a bit disappointing but the other flavors in the burrito eased my pain. The chips included with the meal was a nice touch as well. Not the biggest burrito but definitely well proportioned. Had to take an hour siesta after, if that makes a difference. Well, good lunch and inexpensive, that is WIN in my book. All possibly interested parties should stop by at least once if in the area. You decide #middaynap read more

The food we ordered was flavorless. I got the regular burrito with chicken and taco de cabeza. The salsa did not taste like anything too. They also overcharged me and when I asked for a receipt they said they already submitted the order so they couldn't print out a receipt. Then I pushed for a receipt. They ended up writing the items on a written receipt. Upon revision they said they charged for "regular tacos" and a "super burrito" instead of the regular burrito. They weren't busy so they wouldn't have the excuse of dealing with other customers when making this error. read more

This place has horrible service food was served and they forgot our side dishes we had to remind them. Food is mediocre and prices are elevated. I really wanted ti love this place but I can't with this service. Only thing good was the .5 Lt. mexican coke. read more

Just go, I have been going here for many years and they just don't disappoint. The menu is broad and authentic. All the meats are consistently good and they even do machaca for breakfast and fried tacos dorados which are a staple in Southern California and hard to find up north. They just remodeled as of January 2020 and the place has been transformed. I didn't recognize the it when I walked by and I thought it was a new juice bar or cafe it looks so nice. read more

Hands down AMAZING! Ate here with my boyfriend and mother in law! I cannot believe how delicious everything was! Even the shrimp on the on the super michelada were good. This is how unbelievably good this place was. I had the aguachile. The shrimp were immaculately clean , the onion and cucumber were cut perfectly and they even added about a half of an avocado on top! Worth every penny! We also had some of the ceviche mixto too which was also amazingly good! The octopus, shrimp, and all the fixings were extremely fresh and delightful! We had a bunch more but we recommend this place hands down! read more

It's been 10 years since my last review, and this place is still fantastic. I came in during a cutoff as they were locking up early for a holiday, so I'm grateful they still took my order. I'm super impressed with the remodeling, it looks modern and minimalist! Very sweet people working and my burrito is still top notch! Thank you :) read more

Updating my review cuz I've been there numerous times since my last Review.As you know I've always order the burritos and the cheese pupusas, I found out this is mom and pop restaurant he makes everything fresh so if you dine in just be a little bit patient. Because the food is worth the wait it gets kind of busy especially on the weekends,so if you have time during the week go have a early lunch they open up 9:30am. I just found out that he will cook if you are having a an event just call in and he'll do the order that way you have enough time. I was there a couple weeks ago this guy had a huge order for a conference meeting the food smells so good I was starving I waited 30 minutes before he took my order. lol I've eaten the cheese pupusas the chicken homemade soup just like when I make it.The carne asada chicken burrito are so yummy, one of my relatives who loves the homemade chorizo haven't eat it yet. but I heard its really good,and gives you a lot of food for the price so go check it out if you're looking for good homemade Mexican food. Oh they hv BEER!!!!!! :) read more

Was really curious on trying a pupusa... So I decided to call them ahead and order one, they said 30-50 minutes, I said okay sure. I get there and find parking, just to go inside for them to say "oh hey did you call? Pupusas will take atleast an hour now" I said "oh... I guess you can cancel my order then." What terrible service!? How?! What?! Will not even bother returning to "try" it. read more

I dropped off my van in Daly City for an audio installation and landed here for a quick lunch. In the beginning upon my appearance, I thought this was a taqueria. Instead, this small and cozy restaurant has an actual restaurant style atmosphere. From the menu, they do serve your typical Mexican and Salvadorean cuisines, including Burritoes. I had the Carnitas (Grilled Pork) Super Burrito. Again for $6.50, the burrito has the choice of meat and beans, tomatoes, rice, sour cream, guacamole and cheese in a flour tortilla. The meat was charred very nicely and the fillings were very fresh, but the chef overcooked my flour tortilla. As a result, my tortilla was burnt and leaves a funky flaming aftertaste Complimentary chips and salsa was also offered. Budweiser was on sale for $1.50 a bottle. The three tasted well with my somewhat subpar burrito. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/M9GxTgVNkKohU8g5TgorgA?select=h0XnZejpWIXl_hI5wmvQPg My Visa was accepted here and an in-house ATM Machine is also there. The restaurant is best known for their Pupusas, in which many of the other patrons are enjoying. I might try that one day and hopefully they don't burn my meal again. read more

Both my husband and I had GREAT super burritos--exactly as we ordered. My husband wasn't pissed because they put salsa inside the burrito or had whole beans instead of refried beans or GOD forbid... they put cilantro in! He was happy just chomping away at his burrito. When he's happy, I'm happy. It makes for a more pleasant dining experience. The service was wonderful. Family owned. Great chips. Hot sauce. What isn't there to like. This is the place I'm going back to for pupusa. They didn't fail us with the burritos. I doubt they'll fail us on the pupusas. The price was also very very reasonable. read more

I went to the re-opening! I have to say quiet a different look. I tried the mariscos which is new on the menu. Top of places for me so far with Mariscos, Nothing around this area. Definitely will be back these day to try a few more items. Give it a try.. read more

Got reasonably priced breakfast. Was super good and the lady in there was so safe when taking my money I saw her wash her hands twice ! Ty!! read more

A lot of people complain about the type of people that go there but iv never had a problem with any of them :) shady people have to eat as well :) The food is really really good, and the corn tortillas are amazing. I get the super burrito which seems to be the most common thing people order and it is super amazing!!!! Really nice workers there! read more

Went here for papusas and was disappointed. They had a bad texture and we're not cooked properly. They did not have authentic curtido or salsa. The place is very small and they only have 2 people working so service is very slow. read more

All those reviews that gave this place 4 or more stars must be written by family members!!! My steak nachos were covered in Flavorless meat, Tasteless guacamole, watery sour cream and don't even get me started on the pointless pico!! The only thing that had any flavor was the tortilla chips!! My daughter's super steak burrito was mostly beans and rice. Also fyi they don't have black beans. Her burrito had so little flavor we cut it open and put it in a bowl so we could take out some of the beans and rice. I don't know it they were better before but no one cares anymore!! Look at the picture I added of a whole stem of cilantro that was in my nacho!! I just cut cilantro last night for my own dinner and I got get how you miss whole stems. Unless, you just don't care!! Which is exactly what it seems like, they don't care enough to add seasoning, cut the produce and properly portion out the ingredients to assemble a burrito and nachos!!! read more

El Taconazo - Whole stem of cilantro from my nachos!! - Mexican Near Me - Daly City, California

This place is a little hidden gem, great food that is prepared fresh with generous portions. With every order you get chips and salsa and most come with a heaping portion of homemade rice and beans. They are famous for their pupusas which are prepared fresh as ordered. There is a bit of a wait while it is prepared but it is well worth it as each order is freshly prepared. The chorizo is excellent and does not contain all the weird icky stuff chorizo is notorious for. The owner uses his homemade recipe and serves generous portions of it. There are several healthy soups including chicken , vegetable and menudo. The carne Asada tacos are excellent and fresh. You might have to wait a bit for a table when it's busy because this place has return customers and a relaxed atmosphere. Try it, you'll be back for more! read more

Burritos here? Heck Yeah! I dropped by today for lunch. Not wanting to hit the usual lunch haunts I took a slight detour down and up the block. To El Taconazo. Don't get turned off by the lack of street parking. this is a little lot in the back with plenty of lunch parking. Burrito was the thought and aroma of the day when I walked in That burrito was (and is now as I am eating it) a perfectly balanced carne asada burrito. When the plate arrived at the table I thought "too large for my appetite today". The burrito I received was only the regular size. But that regular size was over a foot long of pure made-to-order goodness. All wrapped in a fresh made tortilla. I post a pic later so you can see the tortilla. When I first saw it my eyes started to tear up with vision of grandma's tortillas on Sunday. The contents of the burrito were no less tasty. In the end I ended up finishing the whole plate. Ole! (burp, burp) The interior for El Taconazo is your standard small taqueria family business. Brightly colored and lit. Compact but not cramoed. Clean through and through. How do I know? I parked out back and the owner let me pass through. The kitchen and eating areas were both clean and ready. Even the floors are shiny. I'll beck back again!! Next time I will explore their full menu. Right after the Siesta takes care of my full belly! read more

I will say that in walking around this area for the first time I was a little uneasy about this place when I walked in. Boxes of junk laying on the table where the menus are, and the guy taking orders used his bare hands to serve chips and salsa. They only have their house made salsa, it is very runny and got a good kick to it! Not for people who like mild salsas! I ordered the enchiladas, and was pleasantly surprised! Lunch menu has them for 6.50 which is a steal! I love the housemade fresh style of it, chicken was amazing and salsa wasnt bad. However, the way this place looks on the inside would make anyone question if they want to stay or not. Solid place overall in my opinion. read more

Wow I ordered a regular quesadilla and they put onions and cilantro and the menu clearly says meat and cheese Only . It was more onions than meat . By the way it's cash only they don't specify that when u call in ur order . The lady was pretty rude as well . Wish I didn't drive so far for this . read more

This is a total gem. It does not look like much from the outside, but the inside is lovely. The service is amazing. It is tiny, so they are quick with everything. Ordering is a bit easier is you speak some Spanish. The food is incredible. We have made this our weekly taco lunch on the weekends! Every taco has been well seasoned and delicious. Highly recommend! Almost forgot, it is cash only. They have an ATM there, but just wanted to make sure you know. read more

Don't know why this isn't a five star place. All the seafood and special drinks here are perfect.

I got a quesadilla today from there filled with onions, I called and even though the lady sounded bothered gave me another one just to give me another quesadilla filled with onions again . Never coming back here again . Thank you read more

The Food, Service and Ambiance is good but since they remodeled, the prices have gone up and the Portions have become really small. You almost have to spend $50.00 or more for Breakfast and still be hungry! read more
