    Al Pastor Burrito
    Billy T.

    Wanted to try an authentic Mexican foodie place on Fillmore and not in the mission district for once, while I was on a work break and will definitely say... this was the opposite experience. Staff is very kind and super quick with the order however, I just wish the quality of the food was up to par with its service. The cashier that day was very fun to converse with ice breakers, a little die roll game for a chance for free food. Great place if you're looking for a corporate lunch bulk order through food apps, and/or if you can afford this. On to the foodies: Al pastor burrito An over priced $16 burrito with just beans and cheese and meat. If you wanted to make it "primo style" to add on some pico, guac and veggies it'll ring you closer to $20. Their salsa options from non spicey to hella spicey was basically tomato puree to licking a pepper flake.

    birria bowl with cheese guac and sour cream
    Cher H.

    I Uber eats for dinner. I had a promo for buy one get one and so I was like hmmm birria bowl love that I just topped it off with salad when I got it. I got it with the extra sour cream, guac and cheese. The cheese I wasn't expecting just shredded American cheese blend. I'm not sure if it was me but my food was just overly acidic like it was a lot of lime or lemon in it. 32 bucks for two bowls delivery that's not bad the meat was really good but i'm going to probably do tacos next to really taste the meat also will be dining in to see if food tastes different next time there was a green sauce like a cilantro sauce or something. I don't know what it was but it was delicious. It was a little 2 ounce cup. I want to know what that is lol I will review again when I dine in

    Braised Beef Burrito
    Kevin C.

    Ordered through DoorDash and everything showed up right on time and still hot and fresh! The food itself was honestly really good, the meat was flavorful and well cooked in my burrito. The tots stayed surprisingly crispy after delivery. My only real gripe is the portion sizes, which felt very very small for what you're paying, especially the burrito which could've used a lot more like rice to make it feel filling. I'm not sure if it's the same in person, but it definitely left me still hungry afterward. Overall the quality of the food was superb and just next time I probably need to order two of everything haha.

    Chips & Pico de Gallo (great crunch)
    Johnny S.

    The three of us went to this slightly confusing establishment where you can technically sit at the adjacent cocktail bar (aka The Snug) and the waiters from the Snug bring you food from taco primo after you QR-code it. Anyway we got the taco salad, the chicken and al pastor burrito, with a side of chips (see images). The burrito was sort of small but not complaining since I am dieting for the New Years Resolution so def not for the Super option lovers. And also...no water from the restaurant is diabolical

    Breakfast Bowl
    A O.

    Lime Cured Cabbage? Churro Fries? Breakfast Bowls? What's not to be curious about? So far my experience has only been with the breakfast bowls. My diet is primarily proteins, vegetables and I carb cycle, so a quickly made fresh breakfast bowl is perfect for my work and workout grind. I sometimes grab a small order of oats and berries from Joe & The Juice to pair with their breakfast bowls. I've had 1 every morning for the first 4 days of the new year. It's basically a deconstructed breakfast burrito without the tortilla. A base bowl comes with 4 eggs. I will eventually try one of their salads. If you order chipotle or delivery often, then this team definitely deserves a chance. Especially if you chase breakfast tacos and burritos, which are also options. It's a pickup and to go service so keep that in mind. Please excuse the picture, it had already moved around in my bag when I turned around to get updated pictures of their menu. It's clean and I like kitchens I can see from the floor whether I'm standing or sitting. It's something I've adapted towards eating at sushi bars. Nice people. They already call me by name when I walk in.

    Chips
    Jennifer C.

    I was in the area and my partner wanted tacos, so I spotted this place and thought we'd give it a try! We're now big fans and will be back! The restaurant has a nice laidback vibe and long bar. We adore the turtle mascot printed on the menu and parchment paper. We got the chips and tried one taco each. (We opted out of the primo as we're trying to be more health conscious). The chips were well fried and salted nice and evenly. The tacos - wow the tortilla was delicious and the meats and the one vegan jackfruit were tender and flavorful. It did take a long time to receive our tacos after the chips came out pretty quickly and a while to find a server for the check, so maybe not the best place if you're in a hurry. There was a loft area with a birthday celebration - seems like it'd be a great place for a private party.

    Chicken bowl
    Steven S.

    The food I had delivered to my address from here was awesome! The chicken bowl was amazingly delicious. The service and the ambiance of the restaurant is also great from what I have read. I highly recommend people come here and i guarantee you will love the food there. I wish I could give them 10 stars

    Bacon Breakfast Taco and Chorizo Breakfast Tacos
    Kayle B.

    As a former Texan, I firmly believe that Breakfast Tacos are superior to Breakfast Burritos, but the former are hard, if not impossible to find in SF. Taco Primo provides a taste of home that tastes like home. They use La Palma flour tortillas which are perfect in general and especially for encompassing all the delicious ingredients. Their chorizo option is so good and I love their hot hot hot salsa-it has great kick.

    2 braised beef tacos.  Kind of small for $10 but I guess this is inflation and city living
    Kristine A.

    While it's clean and good, I didn't see the ratio of food to cost here. Each taco was almost $5. Also I preferred a steak carne asada taco but the beef option was only braised beef. My friend's burrito was also made incorrectly.. he asked for no salsa but they put salsa pico de gallo inside. We were not impressed at all. Next time we will just go to the mission.

    Talk about one of the best authentic taqueria experiences in San Francisco…read more I ordered a Super Asada Quesadilla. Absolutely amazing presentation and taste. Fresh avocados Asada with flavor Strawberry agua fresca to wash it down. Something about sitting towards the back looking at the front door, the sound of change clinking in the cash register, the smell of different Mexican meats being cooked on the grill and the hustle and bustle of the mission right outside made me give this place 5 stars. When ordering, I was told it's cash only. Be prepared $

    I was in the neighborhood and wanted to try something different, but La Taqueria is closed on…read moreMondays and Tuesdays, so I decided to eat at El Farolito instead. I have dined here many times in the past, and this is a cash-only restaurant. I ordered the Regular Burrito with Beef Steak ($10.25). The regular burrito comes with a flour tortilla, rice, beans, salsa, onions, and cilantro, plus your choice of meat or vegetarian. Meat choices listed on the menu: * Al Pastor - Marinated Pork * Carnitas - Deep Fried Pork * Chile Verde - Pork Green Sauce * Chorizo - Mexican Sausage * Carne Asada - Steak * Lengua - Beef Tongue * Pollo - Chicken * Cabeza - Beef Head * Tripas - Intestines I asked the cashier which meat was most popular, and he recommended the beef steak, which had a slight hint of spiciness. The burrito came with pinto beans and rice. I forgot to ask if I could substitute black beans. The burrito wasn't too salty, and the beef steak was just okay. I also think the $10.25 Carne Asada burrito is a good deal. At other taquerias, carne asada is often an additional charge or the burrito costs more when you choose steak. I usually ask for a receipt even when paying cash. When I checked my receipt, I noticed I was charged an additional $0.25 for "Bolsa To Go" (bag) even though I was dining in and didn't receive a to-go bag. It's not about the $0.25, but I think it's important for a business to have integrity and charge customers only for what they actually receive. I hope this isn't something being charged to other dine-in customers as well. Overall, I would come back to try a different meat, but next time I'll make sure to clearly say dine-in and check my receipt to make sure I wasn't charged for a to-go bag.

Pretty decent amount of meat. The quesadilla was also good with a decent ratio of cheese and meat. I thought the al pastor was missing that typical strong savory-sweet flavor though. They also added pineapple in the quesadilla. There are a lot of options in the area but this place is worth a try.
