    Hand made tortillas with carne asada tacos, strawberry drink in the background.

    Always like this place went here before the pandemic and obviously they got hit hard during the pandemic and even after with all the things on market Street it would filter down the Ninth at Mission. The area is cleaned up during the daytime and there's still a few stragglers, but I went in for a late lunch and had my two Carne Asada tacos, handmade tortillas. The meat was cooked and not shrink wrapped and overcooked and dry but perfectly moist and juicy and tasty. Two types of salsa chips couldn't ask for more nice quick sit down on lunch and after we go, I was not hangry.

    I've come here a couple of times during lunch to grab tacos or a quesadilla. Service is quick and food is good. There is space to sit inside. Chips and salsa included with your order. If driving parking could be tricky; I usually walk here during lunch and usually only a short wait if any.

    Black bean grilled chicken regular burrito

    They were quick. As soon as you pay, a few min your order is ready. Great team work. Only 3 staff. It was so hot standing outside in the SF Fleetweek heatwave. Can you imagine those in fighter planes? Back to my grilled chicken regular burrito. So tasty, lots of meat, and the still warm chips (complimentary, thank you). I only ate half and ate up all the chips. Their green sauce is not really spicy at all. Need two of them. Super burrito had a lot more ingredients. Next time. Maybe its me, i've become de-sensitized with the surroundings. Not good. Girl got to eat. Businesses need us. If you walk southeast side of Mission between 8th and 9th st, the urban alchemy protects that side. You see their safety vest or walkie-talkie.

    Street bowl with shrimp. It already includes guac in the price.

    This place has gone from being a curiosity to my daily go-to for lunch in the neighborhood. If you haven't had a street bowl before, and you're a person who likes fried stuff, you absolutely must try it. It's a crispy savory shell with whatever else you typically have in a Mexican bowl in it. My regular order is a street bowl with shrimp black beans, spicy. It's not crazy spicy just regular spicy. And they cook the shrimp up fresh right when you order it. Yum. While most people who come here seem to just get takeout, there are a handful of tables and bar seats if you want to maximize the freshness of your experience. There's a total of maybe ten seats and usually only a couple are taken. While you're there, request extra free green salsa and non-free Mexican Coke with real sugar in a glass bottle.

    Veggie burrito

    Finally tried this location. I had been getting mixed reviews from coworkers so I wanted to review it for myself. Although there are some loiterers around, they did not bother myself or anyone. The location id sorrounded by apartment's and offices, so people will visit for lunch. The inside is a bit small, which I am complete okay with. The staff was very friendly and gave some recommendations. I talked to them in Spanish so not sure how their English is. I got a Veggie Burrito. I must have had low expectations because I was real impressed with my first bite. The veggies were grilled nicely and the burrito was a descent size. That said, when I finished I did feel like I have eaten better Veggie burritos elsewhere. In the end I still give it 4/5.

    I'm not really a taco connoisseur. Are you surprised? I didn't think so. Well, I've seen this operation for a while, and I've noticed the one in the Haight as well. So it's a chain kinda. Anyway, I thought I could give it a try after a trip to the gym. It's a tiny spot with a whirl of unsavory activity right outside on the sidewalk probably to the manager's chagrin. It's fine once you enter though, and I decided to order the $8.50 Grilled Chicken Tacos with onions and salsa (photo: http://bit.ly/2vkeVPi). They were good, just kinda small as you get two for the price. More like bar bite size though truthfully I filled up on the complimentary chips anyway. I was lucky to snag a seat in here. FOOD - 3 stars...good, just a bit small for the price AMBIANCE - 3 stars...a tiny space SERVICE - 4 stars...manager was quite attentive TOTAL - 3 stars...if you want a taco real bad RELATED - In the mood for Mexican?

    1 al pastor and 1 pollo taco, chips, and red and green salsa.
    Dan B.

    At first, I thought about maybe getting a burrito, but it's called Street Taco, so guess what I had to get? Then I had to figure what proteins I wanted - which understandably may sound trivial but when you are limited to two choices, it really is of paramount importance to select the right ones. My first choice was pollo since it looked like it had been freshly cooked. Solid. And for my second choice, I asked the cashier. Without hesitation, she said, Al Pastor. Either a) she really believed in the pastor or b) they were just pushing the pastor. Fortunately, it was the former and pastor was tasty, tender, and helped to make for one good taco. Tacos are made with fresh made tortillas and topped with onions, cilantro and salsa. Excellent. My one qualm was that there was no way one tortilla could ever hold the amount of generous proteins they piled on each taco - and I was right. But I found a fork and was able to finish my meal. Chips were a nice surprise - thicker tortilla chip that was crisp and light and so good with red salsa. Overall, the tacos at Street Taco are a must try. I never really appreciated the tortilla part of the taco until I had their freshly handmade ones. Good food. Not too sketch neighborhood. Worth a visit.

    Recently went to Street Taco for lunch and overall it was good experience. I ordered a carne asada burrito and it was good. Unfortunately, there was a premium charge on protein due to increased cost. I haven't seen other Mexican restaurants do this, so I was a little thrown off by that. All burritos come with chips, guacamole, and salsa in the bag. If you're in the mood for Mexican and want a quick option, this is definitely a good place for that.

    When in a new place with a limited time to eat lunch, it's best to ask a new friend. Street Taco ended up being a great place for Mexican food without the wait or a far walk. Street Taco is around the corner for the Twitter building in downtown San Francisco. The store is very clean and small; they prefer credit cards. Service is made-to-order but very fast, which helps turnover on the limited seating. They have free water at the back. The one big draw is the fresh salsa bar; you can have as many varieties and quantity as you'd like. I had the full size burrito, which was jam packed with good quality steak and fresh vegetables. Prices were around $10. All meals include tortillas on the side, which is a nice addition.

    Definitely street taco taste! I'm Latina so we hold Mexican food to a high standard. The tacos were super good. Quick service, we sat outside with our dog and ate very comfortably late in the afternoon.

    Great food, fast service, and super sweet workers! it was my first time here and it was super yummy and filling :) fair prices as well

    Al Pastor & Shrimp Taco w/ avocado | $10.75
    Cherylynn N.

    I'll spare y'all the details but several hours after eating tacos from here, I had to make a beeline to the restroom while squeezing the hell outta my ( | ) to make sure I didn't leave a trail. Told ya, those granny panties came in handy! Nothing serious but something definitely didn't agree with my tummy. Street Taco, putting the "street" in tacos but at gentrification prices. =/ OTHER NOTES: *Second location to their Haight street one: http://bit.ly/2oOq4P0. *Prices seem to be higher here (based on online menu). Two street tacos (shrimp & al pastor): $8 + $1 shrimp surcharge +$1.75 avocado = $10.75. *Generous amount of protein for tacos. *Shrimp was dry and bland. Al pastor (shaved off the spit) was nicely seasoned but chewy and gristly. *Complimentary chips upon request. *No salsa bar. *No offal (lengua, cabeza, buche, tripas, etc). *Limited seating: 2 two tops and counter seating. No ADA accessible seating. *No water dispenser.

I ordered the carnitas burrito and my husband ordered the carne asada one. We also asked the guys for a salsa picante and their house made one delivered! The ingredients were tasty, well seasoned and fresh. Service is quick, food and ambiance are no frills and cash only. I think about this burrito daily and am willing to travel across the country to get it again. Not to mention, but this is a Mission style burrito in the Mission! This is the only way to do it and I now totally understand the hype.

A few people were already in there eating, and we know this place is good, as a few others in our group and I have been here multiple times. The Taqueria is typical of any other, with bench-style chairs for folks to sit on, a water station, and workers cooking it up in the kitchen. I wasn't too hungry, so I grabbed a Super Lengua Taco, while my friends grabbed burritos, we ended up grabbing 3 complimentary chips and guac/salsa with our order and the food came out pretty quickly. When I saw my Taco I forgot how much they stuffed it and wow, two of these would've filled me up just like a taco; there was so much Lengua that it kept falling off after every bite. The flavors all came together and I scruffed down the whole thing after about 6+ bites! Definitely a place to come to if you're looking for a full meal, or something to snack on!

Despite how packed it was, the restaurant was clean, the atmosphere was lively, and everyone working there was incredibly friendly. I ordered the burrito while my friends went with a variety of tacos. After trying both, I actually think the tacos are the stronger option. The burrito was flavorful and packed with a generous amount of guacamole, but it was very sloppy. With all the delicious juices from the meat and veggies and no rice to soak everything up, it fell apart pretty quickly. Thank goodness there is a single restroom in the back, which came in handy afterward to wash up. The tacos, on the other hand, were btter balanced and held together much better while still delivering plenty of flavor. The prices were also very reasonable considering how popular the place is.
