One of the best taqueria spots in SF! Been going here for years! Huge tacos and meat is very flavorful. I highly recommend this place if you're in the mission. read more

Came here with a bunch of frisbee teammates after a cold winter league game on a Tuesday night. We were all very happy with this place! FOOD: Free chips and 3 kinds of salsa (serve yourself). Tacos and burritos were delicious (don't remember what I ordered but I enjoyed the things I had!) :) AMBIANCE: Very hole in the wall, very casual. We realized that part of the floor was not flat. Like if your table was on it, your table would be very slanted. SERVICE: It's pay up, take a number, they bring your food, but serve yourself otherwise! People working here are nice though! OVERALL: Yum! I'll be back :) read more

Mexico Tipico - Burrito - Mexican Near Me - San Francisco, California

I'm just going to let it be known right now! I've been without Mexico Tipico for MONTHS!! And they're OPEN NOW!!! Finally!!! I won't grab burritos from anywhere else. Ask my fiancé, he hates that I only go to one taqueria. My go to's: Super pollo asado burrito, extra cheese and sour cream. You gotta grab the red salsa! So bomb!! Super lengua nachos! Lengua isn't for everyone and Some places can be hit or miss but they're a hit every-time. And I absolutely love the fact they they use nacho cheese on these nachos! (I'm a sucker for nacho cheese) Get a side of some pickled jalapeños, carrots and onions and you're set! Hangover cure! Only available weekends: Posole ROJO!! I get one every weekend! Hungover or not. They give you thick chunks of pork, super tender and seasoned great! Side of tostadas, Chile flakes, lime and oregano. You just can't go wrong here! Parking? Ha! GO LUCK! Mission street is always so busy so you'll see cars double parked. And business is always busy, so if I were you I'd order ahead. Cause you might be waiting in line for a bit, especially now since they opened back up from doing renovations. read more

This is one of my go-to Mexican spots in the city. Authentic, straight forward and always delicious. I've had multiple items from this place and they're all very good. Well portioned, reasonably priced and just hits the spot every time. It's the type of place that gives you a nice home-cooked feeling. Carne Asada plate is my go-to order and theirs just comes out sizzling and delicious. Awesome beans and rice. The salsas are on point and never disappoints. Check this place out if you are ever in the Excelsior district! read more

4.5 stars----- I was looking on Yelp for a new spot to try until this place popped up. What caught my attention about this place was that many people are saying that Mexico Tipico is better than El Farolito, so I came to try it myself. They have a huge menu here with so many options to choose from which is already a plus compared to El Faro. I decided to get the carne asada regular burrito with a side of chips. The rice they put in the burrito is very moist, drenched in flavor. I can tell their chips are made fresh here bc of the different texture. Also to mention, their green creamy salsa here is bomb!!! After trying this spot, this might be the new go to spot for burritos, as for tacos, I have to try it next time! read more

Just had the best freaking wet burrito, I am Mexican and I know mexican food from grandma and moms, I usually don't expect much from taquerias but dayum I was impressed, this wet burrito first and most the temperature, sauce, the meat and even the rice and beans to perfection, the aguacate was fresh, finally the service just wow!! read more

Everyone always had something bad to say about this place. And I always stood up for this place despite their horrible health inspection scores. But tonight is the final night I'll defend this establishment. I'm not the type of person to not eat a bruised avocado or fruit, but this seems like it's pushing it. I ordered carne asada super nachos -- $14. Right when I opened my order at home I found black avocado slices. I paid $14, for this. Least you could do was slice up some fresh avocados. Imagine if this was in your burrito. No wonder there were only two customers in there. read more

Great authentic food. We enjoyed their fried fish tacos with everything on it. I recommend that for sure with their green salas verde.

Great food great service. Friendly staff. Quick service. The pescado e camarones tacos were heaven sent.

As a burrito-lover and a frequent jet-setter to the Mission District, how the heck did I miss this place? Obviously, this is a very tiny restaurant with an occupancy of maybe 20 patrons the most. And this place can easily be missed if you are driving. But the food and the friendly hospitality from the workers are very welcoming. For lunch, I had my usual grilled steak burrito. For a reasonable $9.00, I get a choice of cooked meat, rice, beans, pico de gallo, guacamole, cilantro, melted cheese and grilled onions in a white flour tortilla. Not many places offer the grilled onions in the silver bullet. But it is a difference maker. The chips from here is from the Mi Rancho company. And the chips are lightly-salted with a tasty crunch. My probable next visit, I will definitely get the nachos. Beer is automatic with my burrito. But since I was working, I had to settle with a bottle of Jarrito fruit punch flavor for $3.00. Menudo is served on the weekends and seems to be a very popular dish from here. That will also be on my bucket-list on my next visit. Plus with the recent cold weather, it wouldn't also be a bad choice either. This outer-part of the Mission district is the family part. The workers treat me like part of the family. But the food from here is bar-none one of the best I have had. read more

This place just gets better and better!! Came back here after 5 years ordered the fish tacos again from Elena and they came out full of fish and so damn good!! I'm not going to wait this long to come back that's for sure! Just ask for Elena and she will make your lunch or dinner a great culinary experience!! read more

Everyone was so respectful and kind. My tacos were delicious. The gentleman that rang me up went above and beyond. The lady walking around making sure I had everything. Incredibly polite. I'll definitely come back for the service and yummy tacos! Mil gracias read more

Don't sleep on Tipico; cause that is exactly what I did forever. I have walked by Tipico countless times in my life-time strolling around in the Excelsior district; foolish me. This place is an absolute gem and gold mine. It is truly a shame that I only wounded up trying Tipico because of El Farolito's recent downfall in quality (apparently it's not just myself that have noticed this as well). I had one of the juiciest burritos ever; loaded with flavor and the cooks did not skimp out on the ingredients. Really awesome friendly staff that make you feel as if you're family here. Enjoy the amazing burritos here! read more

Mexico Tipico - Amazing carne asada super burrito - Mexican Near Me - San Francisco, California

Arrived for early lunch at about 11:00am. Parking was easy to find, the dining room was sparsely populated. A server clocked in while I was eating. It is true--the lengua here has a depth of beefiness Taq' Guads does not have. It has a more velvety mouthfeel...melting like a meaty terrine, and it exudes a collagen rich nectar that has you licking your lips and fingers. I chose the Super Burrito. Good, but the other ingredients were simply distractions from the lengua. Each time I bit into a knot of chunked lengua, I collided with a moment of euphoria. On retrospect, the other reviewers were absolutely correct-- the regular burrito would showcase the lengua far better. The salsas were also a notch up in authenticity. Somehow, the chilies and herbs were edgier and had greater contrast. I was practically drinking the creamy avocado enriched salsa verde and I liked blending the salsa roja with the bright green tomatillo salsa. They serve a tortilla chip here that is puffy--I prefer the translucent thin variety. The large TV might have been tuned to Telemundo? A football (soccer to America) match was going that had the attention of just about every guest in the room. Watching the man behind the counter craft each order with immense pride was a great fun. He often hung back to watch us devour our food with a satisfied grin--almost like being fed by family. All the staff were attentive and uber friendly--they glance at you periodically as they moved about the restaurant to see if you need anything. They were very patient with me and eager to answer my questions. The place is alive with Spanish speakers with broad economic diversity. I chose to speak English the entire time I was there. By the time my meal was ending, I half expected to walk out to a dusty litter lined-street and white painted tree trunks in Mexico. I am looking forward to my return. When I do, I shall have to order a taco trio of the other meats--chorizo, carnitas and tripas just to see how they stack up. ADDENDUM 6/19/2016--the trio of tacos was educational. The chorizo is the typical, red tinted greasy tangy mess that is satisfying as it is messy. The Carnitas is good with moist chunky bits of caramelized flesh. The Tripas is actually very good with crunchy crackling bits and creamy clean interiors--no barnyard after flavors. I would suggest that you ask for the salsa on the side as the salsa is distracting for all three meats. A spritz of lime would have done it. At the end of the day, the lengua reigns supreme here. read more

I didn't think it would happen. I didn't think I'd give 5 stars to another taqueria on mission street. So far, that's been reserved only for La Taqueria. But life can, & will, surprise you. Being dissatisfied w Taqueria Guadalajara every time, I opted to try Tipico. It seemed, from my Yelp friends, that by my taking this adventurous risk, I might be rewarded w some straight up unbelievably fresh & delicious tacos. And rewarded I was. My fish tacos were positively 5 stars. The fish was fresh, tender, full of flavor, & cooked to perfection. Just the right amount of dressing. Enough to add moisture & flavor, without overpowering the tacos. Too much would kill the whole thing. They nailed it. And the lettuce? If you told me they had just picked the lettuce from a garden in the back & shredded it 2 minutes before they filled my order, I'd totally believe it. These tacos only reinforced my confusion as to why Guadalajara is so highly rated. My man ordered the carne asada burrito. He loved & inhaled it accordingly. I did get 2 bites, & they were delicious. There was a kick in the sauce, the steak was tender, & it was full of flavor. The chips, however, are completely forgettable. As are the salsas. But the food? Outstanding quality, freshness, & flavor. Love, love, love. 5 stars. read more

Mexico Tipico - The Fish tacos. Delish! The fish is outstanding. - Mexican Near Me - San Francisco, California

Convincing Jamie W. to go to the Excelsior for Mexican is no small feat since he is a creature of habit, but when I saw the reviews for the weekend menudo here, I became determined to drive over there and give it a try. This stretch of Mission is a bit dicey even at around 9PM, but I was lucky to find a parking space just a few yards away. We entered to see the yellow and orange place abuzz with activity. It appears to be a favorite with locals since most of the tables were filled. I spotted one table and told Jamie to sit there to stake a claim while I ordered our food. They have a long photo menu along the wall that was kinda hard to read from my vantage point. Jamie decided on the $7.95 Bistek Ranchero, which was slices of grilled beef mixed with onions and potatoes topped with their special ranchero sauce. It came with rice and refried beans topped with queso fresco (see photo). It was pretty tasty for a hearty appetite, especially since it came with a half-dozen corn tortillas in a plastic bin. As for me, give me the $6.50 bowl of Menudo, prepared traditionally with tripe and beef stomach meat...mmm-mmm (rubbing my protuding belly). It takes hours to simmer, and they added some chili paste to give it a rich red color. It comes with all sorts of spices on the side - dried oregano and crushed red chili peppers - along with a wedge of lime, chopped onions and chopped cilantro (see photos). Dump it all into the red broth and you have the perfect late-night treat, hangover be damned. The ambiance is quite lively with cute little girls in pink outfits playing next to us (see photo) as a group of slackers chow down at a nearby table. A return trip for that menudo is certainly warranted. FOOD - 4 stars...the menudo is quite something here AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...cheap tables with buckling floors but a lot of good people-watching here SERVICE - 3.5 stars...very nice and they refilled our chips basket without us asking TOTAL - 4 stars...menudo is such tripe and doesn't have anything to do with Ricky Martin read more

As a San Francisco native, this is by far my favorite taqueria in the city. All their plates are yummy from their fried fish to their burritos. Try their frijoles Fritos, you won't regret it! Family owned! I usually call before coming to pick up my order because you can always count on there being a wait time in person! read more

My orders have lately been wrong. I ask for no salsa and the add it. It's because either the person taking the order don't write it right for Trina to do things fast or the cooks don't read the order right. read more

This place is super underrated! The staff is great and super sweet!! I get that SF is super competitive with Mexican food but this place is low key up there. I would totally go back for another date with friends :) read more

We had a positive experience from the beginning when placing telephone order with Christian. Courteous and made every effort to ensure order was correct. Arrived a few minutes earlier and order was ready to go! Fish taco was tenderly grilled with an amazing sauce and fresh veggies. Tasty chicken tacos. Whole black beans and rice were delicious too as well were the complimentary lightly salted tortilla chips. Prepared condiments to go with a spicy habanero to top it off! Very clean. Will return-highly recommend!! read more

We ate here last weekend and it was so good I remembered to write a review just now - 10/10 recommend!!!! Their salsa is good, carne asada burrito full of flavor, grilled to perfection. I had the chilaquiles with green sauce, so good. Will come back again, and again.... read more

This is my go to taqueria, for when I am craving un plato de chilaquiles verdes. Not going to lie, it's hard for me, as someone not from San Francisco, looking for a place that has chilaquiles verdes, because my mom always makes me some at home, but I'm glad to have finally found a place. In addition, I'm also not going to lie, it's a bit pricey, but it's worth spending if you're just in the mood to go HAM on this platillo. La señora behind the register, provides great customer service, for she greeted me and made me feel welcomed, the first time I came here. She also answered my questions about what sides does the platillo come with. Overall, Buen Aprovecho. 100% lo recomendó! read more

Mexico Tipico - Mexican Near Me - San Francisco, California

Always wanted to try this place because of the reviews of the carnitas. I happened to be passing by and saw a parking spot open up so i was like why not. Line was a little long but the cashier ended up handling everyone while answering phones expeditiously. She was all about business. I ordered a carnitas super burrito and my son ordered a carne asada super burrito. Wait was a long while a little over 15 minutes. It got a little aggravating seeing other people that were behind me getting their orders. While waiting i noticed tables needed busing and the little salsa bar needed to be refilled. Tortilla chips were complimentary with the order. I asked for my carnitas to be extra crispy which i saw them attempt to do. As soon as i received the order we left. So carnitas burrito was alright, the texture was good, wasn't as crisp as i wanted, tasted bland. Burrito was a good size. The carne asada burrito was a little better. good size and flavor was great. So would i come back? Probably not but I'm glad i tried them. read more

This is my neighborhood go-to for a top notch Caldo de Pollo or some saucy Huevos Rancheros for breakfast with beans that remind you of home.

I've never had anything bad from this family owned gem. read more

Good food and clean environment. Food is better than average and feels like they use fresh ingredients. Be back

Good place to grab a quesadilla or burrito if you are in the Excelsior District! The place is somewhat small so if you are looking for seating I would suggest you get here before lunch time. Once lunch time rolls around this place can get packed rather quickly. The menu is good. A nice mixed selection of your usual items. They also include chips and salsa along with your order which I am starting to realize is not common in all Mexican restaurants. Because this place gets so busy you may find yourself waiting for awhile for your food. Not sure if they take over the phone orders but expect to wait for a bit. When I was there they only had 2 cooks at the time working so just be patient and watch the TV. I paid cash but I believe that they accept credit/debit card as well. I food was good once I finally sat down. I had ordered a carnitas burrito and it was cool. It seemed a bit dry even though there was a mix of guacamole, cheese, and sour cream. The burrito was very filling but I just would've liked for the burrito to have had a bit more flavor. Oh well, I will still give this place another try just because the food was good. I would recommend coming here around 11:30 am. #chipsandsalsa read more

I personally love this place and hope it never goes out of business but the last 2 visits have me very worried about coming back. We ordered a few burritos and a couple of months ago my kids threw up violently after an hour of eating and he threw up on his bed, carpet, floor, toys, everything. It was bad. Wish I could post pictures but I was too busy cleaning. We have not ordered a burrito since that time but my kids love this place. So after a couple months we ordered again. The same kid again got sick and had diahrea and threw up. My wife also got sick. They both ate the same burrito. Not sure if its safe to eat again from here. Would love to see if any others are experiencing the same issues. read more

Used to be great. Have been let down numerous times over many years. Today was the last time. Ordered online, order confirmed. When I show up they have no detail of the order... and then ignored while several phone orders are taken. This is on top of incorrect food in previous orders, missing items, bad service etc. Give it a miss and go somewhere else. It's sad how crap they have become. Very sad read more
