We got two carne asada super burritos, they were very reasonably priced for SF and pretty big as well. It was also really a nice surprise that you get fresh tortilla chips with the burrito, and the salsa from the salsa bar was really delicious as well. My only qualm with this burrito is that it was very oily all over, not sure why. Would love to come back and try their quesabirria and nopales, though, looks delish!!

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.

It feels like a hole in a wall place, nothing fancy, nothing touristy, sort of divey, very functional! Don't expect cleanliness.

They accept cash, Apple Pay or Zelle. For two carne asada tacos and an al pastor quesadilla, they charged us $25. No idea what the cost breakdown is since they don't have a menu lol Service was prompt and friendly. They have pickled onions with sliced habaneros and a few different salsas. I like the red salsa, creamy green one (kinda spicy), and the creamy habanero (very spicy). The tacos were good. 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.
