Price seemed about average for SF, but I was disappointed by the sides that came with the meal. Food comes out fast and it was an enjoyable lunch, but I had a few notes. Overall: 4.4/5 My mushroom quesadilla was quite good. Very good flavor, loaded with mushrooms. Quesadilla was definitely on the greasy side. I was surprised by the pickled onions and veggies on top. Was acidic with a balsamic taste which helped to cut through the grease. The chips were good but the cauliflower on the side was very acidic and sour, not my personal preference. I wish they included more chips, but considering that I got it for the daily special price of $12, I thought it was good. The taco plate was also good. Loaded with veggies and a good portion of meat, but I was also dissapointed by the amount of sides included. A small portion of chips, rice and beans. For $15, I would have hoped for more. Service was fine. Order at the counter and we were the only ones at the time. Employees acknowledged us and were friendly but we had to wait at the counter for a bit to order since they were in the middle of a conversation.

The beans were probably the star of the show in my opinion. The tortillas were a big no for me. Very dry and chalky. Shrimp was okay. The matcha chata, wasn't good either. It was watery with little to no flavor. I did appreciate that I got more than one limón. The deal is pretty decent. Next time, I will try the bowl.

New favorite Mexican spot in sf, highly underrated! Massive portions for reasonable prices, and the…read morequality is superb. We shared a ceviche, two tripe tacos, and a beef torta. Ceviche was massive, loaded with cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, avocado, and of course very rare shrimp, just the way I like it! Probably one of the best ceviches I've ordered in a while, other places are too overcooked or limey for me. Tripe tacos were a perfect crisp, came with very freshly housemade tortillas, and loaded with grilled onions and veggies. Torta was the only thing that was average. The portions were so large that we agreed we probably only need to share the ceviche with one taco per person next time. Will 100% be back to try their aguachile next time, since we saw a ton of people order it. So thrilled to have discovered this place!

Cashier was friendly and provided great service, letting me know they only accept cash tips and skipped the tip line on the POS adding that she doesn't receive the tips that guests add to their credit card purchases. That should have been a huge red flag. My food arrived and the ceviche looked like it had *just* been cobbled together, shrimp was not even pinkish, accentuating the fact that they had also not been cleaned. Shrimp shit abounded. The chef came out when I returned that vile monstrosity and told me that shrimp is *never* cleaned for ceviche, I would have to order the aguachile (at $21) if I didn't want shrimp shit filled shrimp.

I also ordered the asada nacho fries, topped with steak, tomato, onions, cilantro and avocado, then topped with some sour cream. I got the agua fresca passion fruit, which is pretty good, low sweet, very flavorful with a slight sour. Perfect for me!

First of this is probably the only decent place to get a burrito around this block. The other spot…read morenear walgreens or the bus stop is terrible, not only is the taste bad but the prices or 20$ you pay over there is not worth it. Usually whenever I come here the food truck and mcdonald's is my goto lunch spots, don't bother going to the other places you should avoid them asap. For a quick snack or if you just want coffee and cookies the other places are okay for that, but hungry and want something to fill the belly go here instead. Burritos here pretty good and I can't deny the salsa or the green sauce and pico puts a smile on my spicy food cravings. They only have pinto beans but that's fine I personally like black or pinto beans, never got into refried beans much my taste buds just didn't welcome refried as much as black or pinto beans. The rice and guacamole was a bit creamy and I didn't feel like I was feeling the guacamole flavor as I was munching on the Suoer Burrito. The rice and beans were good, soft tender mexican rice and the grilled chicken was cooked perfectly. When I added the salsa, particularly the Green Sauce my stomach wanted to grab the whole salsa Container and take it home with me....... Not too spicy, not too mild, and just the right amount of cilantro and lime they got me good on this sauce. The chips were great or I had some crunchy chips that made me want to order super Nachos too. Some stores just give you costco chips or premade old soggy chips that break easily even before you dip in salsa, not these chips Dip in twice and still the pico was all there no tomatoes falling. One of the best things I like is they have a salsa bar with a good selection to choose from. green, red, pico grilled onions yes they have a small bowl that has grilled onions and peppers cooked. Usually Just the basic red, green sauce, and limes if I do see a small space for salsa, but primo has more the chips are already bagged and you can grab more chips and salsa cups. Plenty of napkins, salsa cups and forks if need be too. The only downside is the salsa cups are so tiny. the cup size looks like something your dentist use to clean your teeth . Not a big deal breaker for me, but still would nice if we can get a bit more salsa and a bigger cup to hold. The location is alright and I do see people come and go, still this place has a lot of potential but it's hard to beat Mcdonald's or just take the street car further up turnpike if you want something in your taste. Am glad they still have some good horchatas and churros here too, I can't eat Burritos right if I don't have my L horchata and churro later on. Another thing I notice is they don't give plastic bags even if you order 3 burritos, but luckily I had brought my own. If your in the bayview, around keith try this place out and definitely grab some salsa /chips too.

Always moving and checked with us at least four times. We got fresh chips and sauce that was so good. My eating partner cleaned the chips and sauce in no time. I had the combo plate: refried beans, rice, chicken enchilada, chicken taco, cheese and zucchini pupusa, and more sauce. Added shredded lettuce and spoonful of sour cream. This meal reminded me of eating at an Albuquerque restaurant. My mate got the res sopa with 3 little beef bones and cabbage and yucca section. With a small plate of rice and salsa. Great quiet place to talk and enjoy a visit with a friend. I saw a lady delivering fresh alfajores cookies.

I even gave it a second try cuz maybe it was an off day. The 1st time I went I had 3 tacos, one of each meat all of which were dry as hell. The tortilla chips were dry as a bone too if that makes sense. It was like eating triangle shaped cardboard. Even the salsa couldn't save em. The next time I decided to go with a pork chimichanga & a pork papusa. The papusa was actually pretty decent. The burrito however was not giving! When I got down to the last part of the burrito it was straight up fat, no meat!! The guacamole doesn't taste in house fresh either....and for the price...never again. I don't mind at all paying for good food, this just ain't it. The 2 stars belong to the papusa

Then you will see different versions of ramen like Mexican Ramen , Indonesian Ramen and Malaysian Ramen. When it comes to pizza there is a Turkey and Brazilian pizza. Even within the United States the pizza style in Chicago is different than New York. When it comes to tamales in San Francisco you will find tamales from China and Nicaragua. There is a place which sells many versions of tamales along some flakey pastries in SF and it's called La Espiga De Oro. On a Mission first week of Summer stroll I landed at La Espiga De Oro on 24th street. Inside its bakery with lots sweet treats. I came for tamales. They have tamales from Guatemala , El Salvador, and Honduras. I got the Mexican chicken tamale. It was the right amount of chicken and cornmeal wasn't too corny like some in SF. It was tasty. They also sell menudo and cheesy pupusas like some in SF. They also sell carnitas burritos and fish tacos so you can do a lime squeeze if you feeling something sour like some in SF. They also sell chicharron. This is the spot in the Mission to get different types of tamales. Come visit the "Mission" not the same as the random social media posts and what you see on "television" some food can be found in the street corner and some inside a brick and mortar "kitchen" a place with so so many options to make a drink and food "decision" Go to La Espiga De Oro and get some tamales made of masa and "cornmeal" it's a value and a good "deal" for a delicious and for a quick" meal" and some wrappers can get corny like some on my social media feed just need to throw away the corn husk after you "peel"

They also have large selection of freshly made Mexican Bread. Bought a few of those and they were very good. Pozole Rojo was very flavorful with lots of Mexican spices.
