    Wow - great dinner, loved all of it! This place felt like a traditional, fast casual spot. I ordered without much thought and was thoroughly surprised by my burrito due to its wetness and portion size, but honestly, that was my fault due to the lack of research beforehand. Food came out pretty quickly and was plated nicely. Everything was delicious and the portions were generous for the price. I enjoyed my dinner here and would gladly come back if in the area again! Probably would opt to get a cleaner meal though haha.

    The service here is very minimal, you order and seat yourself. The super tacos are huge, just two were enough to be filling. I got the chicken and al pastor and both were really tasty, super savory and crisped just the right amount. The burrito was great as well but I would order just tacos next time.

    We ordered to-go over the phone on a Saturday around 12pm. They said the food would be ready in 10 mins but it took us around 30 mins to arrive there. We got the Lengua tacos, carne asada tacos, and cabeza super burrito. They really fill up the tacos with a lot of meat. Lengua and cabeza were tender. The carne asada had a spicy sauce but it tough and dry. They only gave us regular salsa and a green salsa. There was no spicy red salsa. Maybe we had to ask?

    Best tacos I've had, thought it was comparable to Tacos El Gordo and is even better! It's a little over $5 for a taco but it's a large taco, not a street size taco, as big as my palm and I love how much meat the packed into it. I had to eat the meat filling with their on the house chips bc it was too much for the tortilla! Highly recommend lengua and cabeza, perfectly seasoned and just so delicious, not gamey at all, just tastes like savory dark meat!

    Came by on a Saturday around 11pm, and Taqueria Cancun was still bustling with people coming and going. As with most places in SF, street parking is your best bet before heading over. I really loved the indoor decor - bright, cheerful, and full of colorful papel picado strung throughout the restaurant. Service was quick, friendly, and a nice touch was the complimentary chips and salsa that came with our order. We tried the Super Nachos with Al Pastor, and wow! You really get your money's worth! The portion is huge, and they don't skimp on ingredients. The chips stayed perfectly crunchy even under all the toppings. The meat was flavorful, though I wished it had a bit more smokiness. The nachos are loaded with cheese and sour cream, so if you prefer a lighter hand with those, you might want to request it. Overall, I'd give the nachos a 4/5. All in all, a solid spot for a late-night bite. I'd definitely come back if I'm in the area again.

    After coming here, I am so sad I have been denied having a Mission burrito for so long. This was burrito was amazing. I love the fast casual vibe and our food came out SO QUICK! Great spot for a casual dinner. I got the burrito with carne asada and just wow.. This burrito was MASSIVE! But while the portion was great, the filling was even better!!! Each burrito also came with a side of chips which were and this was just so much food for such a great price. I am sure there are other great places in the Mission to get a burrito but Taqueria Cancun was a great first time experience for me and I would love to come back when I am back in San Francisco. 10/10!

    Guys at the counter were super nice! our burrito came with free seasoned tortilla chips and red and green salsa. SO GOOD! The green salsa was our favorite. We shared an Al pastor super burrito and asked for it to be dorado style. It was served HOT and steaming. YUM!!

    Wanted to go to La Taqueria for a mission burrito but it was closed so searched for a backup. Glad I did because this place was so solid! Got 2 burritos - carne asada and cabeza. Both delicious, well cooked meat, and good size. Service was fast and order came with 2 types of salsa and a bag of super crispy chips!

    SF Taco Tour '25 We've eaten a lot of tacos on this tour. Each better than the last- truly. But these tacos are divine in a way I haven't experienced since I was 15, standing in line for what would become the best taco of my life in Las Palmas, Pittsburgh- yes, Pittsburgh PA. See God, visit taqueria cancun.

    Amazing Mexican food in Mission! I think three tacos here does the job. It's open late, which is nice. The super taco has avocado which is a nice addition. The only thing is that the ceviche tostado is not actually raw fish. Overall a great experience!

    Lengua Burrito
    Kevin C.

    This restaurant was a fun pit stop on our group's food adventure and came highly recommended by a few of my colleagues. We were all excited for some good burritos and once I saw lengua on the menu I made a beeline straight for it and went all in on the lengua burrito. Portion size was solid and the flavors hit the spot. The lengua was super tender and flavorful but the burrito itself turned into a bit of a mess from all the extra juices. I'm all for a juicy burrito but a little more rice or beans would have helped hold it all together and balance things out. Still delicious and worth the experience. The prices were fair and right in line with other spots around town. The place was pretty busy but the two-man team inside handled everything like pros and kept the orders moving without a hitch. I'm already looking forward to coming back and trying the pastor burrito or maybe even one of their super quesadillas.

    My NEW FAVORITE taqueria in the mission. For years I would only go to El Farolitos, but after trying a burrito here I don't want to go anywhere else. Let me start off with the customer service; they have consistently been amazing every visit. The people that work here are genuinely good people. They are so kind to those who choose to patronize their establishment and for that alone I would come back. The food itself is amazing. The BEST BURRITO in San Francisco! Yes, I said it and I'm standing on that lol. I get the super shrimp burrito and add eggs. I've also got their ceviche which is amazing as well. Their green salsa is fresh and their red salsa is equally as delicious. I also like the way they decorated the restaurant. It's simple but very festive. Please come try this place. I can't stop raving about it with friends and co-workers.

    Burrito-great. Quesadilla O.K.

    If you are looking for a good burrito in The Mission District, this is a good option. Very close to Dolores Park which was our 1st stop Busy spot. Good amount of seating. Service was fairly quick. Especially liked the green salsa.Bathroom needed attention! Would return.

    Being a native Bay Area person, I always heard about the burrito wars in San Francisco's Mission…read moreDistrict. Over the years I've found myself drawn to the other contender in the Mission way more than El Farolito, so I decided it was time to head back to try this legendary burrito shop. Getting to this location is super simple as we took BART and got off at the 24th Street Mission BART station and from there it's a very short walk of less than a block to get to El Farolito. Walking into the shop one is just slapped in the face with the beautiful smells of the carne asada cooking on the grill right by the door-it's wonderful. It's a modest place that you can definitely tell was built many years ago,so no overly modern amenities-this place cares about the food, not the ambiance. We ended up going with a couple of super burritos of Carne Asada ($11.25) & a regular burrito of Al Pastor($10.25) & also added two tacos one with Al Pastor and one with Carne Asada($4.75) They had beers at $4.75-so we grabbed a couple of Modelos. First the tacos-they were just ok,the tacos were crunchy and I don't know kind of gave Taco Bell vibes. Burritos though-that's a whole different animal. The burrito was so well made from the chew of the tortilla to the seasoning of the carne asada to the perfect balance and mix of all the other ingredients.I judge a burrito harshly if the mix isn't right and you don't get every ingredient in every bite and the mix at El Farolito was flawless. The price point was pretty impressive as well. In closing, El Farolito has always been in the mix as one of the top burrito spots in the Mission, and I can say with confidence that it's in my Top 2 in San Francisco currently. It's an incredible burrito and a true "must-visit" spot when visiting San Francisco. P.S. Just a slight heads up when visiting , it's not the safest neighborhood in the world, so just keep your head up when visiting-this is a place one visits for the food experience not the ambiance.

Even my picky eater, who wouldn't normally choose anything but meat and cheese, ate his as they come. The line here was long, but moved surprisingly fast, and our orders were still good and hot when we got back to our hotel. Street parking is a beast, just like anywhere else in this city. If I was looking to pack on several pounds, I'd eat here every day.

    THE BEST food we ate in all of San Francisco!!!…read more This place is very popular and when we pulled up, the line went to the end of the block. Thankfully it moved quickly -- don't be deterred!!! The flow is very interesting-- you wait in line outside until you reach a small kiosk at the doorway. A hostess writes your order in hieroglyphics on server paper and you're given the stub with our order number. You're directed inside to the cashier, who double checks the order and you pay. You remain in the same line, but now you're in front of the assembly line of cooks (shout out Miguel!). The line leads to a hostess, who seats each guest in order. Once seated, you wait for your order to be called, grab you food, and eat. It's very orderly and extremely low stress. It would be utter chaos if guests had to find their own seating -- likely ruining everyone's experience. Instead, you can relax, hang out with others in line, and watch the chef's assembling burritos. The restaurant should be commended for such an efficient process! Onto the food... The carne asado burrito (dorado) is incredible! The meat is tender and salted perfectly. The beans are gooey and delicious. The guacamole is a bright and beautiful green and the taste is exceptional. There was sour cream too, but portioned perfectly to blend in with all the other flavors. The green salsa (the only salsa at the table) was perfectly balanced. I ordered a small horchata and it was overpriced (just shy of $5) and I wouldn't order it on my next visit. The whole experience was incredible and even with a huge line, we were in and out in less than an hour. Not bad at all for the best burritos we've ever had!!!

They have limited seating to I recommend taking the burritos to a nearby park and eat. Got 2 super tacos. 1 carne asada/ 1 carnitas, apparently the carnitas was the best in the tacos. I got a super burritos toasted with carne asada. One was spicy and the other was not spicy. It was labeled as spicy but they both had the exact spice level? I'm not sure if they forgot to put hot sauce or if it just isn't too spicy. Either way wish they had spicier hot sauces available either in packets or at the tables since the green salsa isn't too hot. These burritos were very delicious. I loved how you get an option to toast them or not. Because there is no rice, it makes the burrito easy to eat and you dont feel too sick after which is problem I come across burritos often. Definitely a must try!

Easy sell with all the happy families around us tearing into quesabirria taccos! Lamb birria plate was perfect, lots of smoky juicy meat falling off small bones, perfect for wrapping in a warm tortilla and dunking in the consomé (definitely take a sip of this on its own). The aguas frescas of the day were jamaica (hibiscus) and cucumber. Warm day, so perfect for two big glasses of the latter, and not too sweet, just a floral thirst quencher.

I do wish I'd known ahead of time that when you eat there, they put the guacamole and sour cream on top of the burrito instead of inside it. The meat, rice, and beans tasted dry inside the burrito with everything else outside the burrito. The chorizo also had no spice to it. I was hoping for at least a little bit, but it was very mild and not super flavorful. I feel like I have had ups and downs on meals there; the consistency isn't great. It's very much hit or miss, but they do always give a good amount of food and I am always very full when I leave.
