“ Excellent tacos and quesadillas! The outside looks a bit like a hole in the wall but the inside is super colorful and lively, and the salsa is always a little bit more spicy than you think. The portion sizes are also pretty generous- a single taco is really heaped enough for two tacos ”
“ I ordered the burrito mojado and spent like 20 minutes slowly devouring it. Every bite had a nice combo of flavors and them topping it with three different condiments made for a fun experience eating. It can be a bit pricey but you are basically paying for two meals. Definitely recommend for your Mission Burrito! Also, you get chips and salsa included with your order. ”
“ First time coming here and it was great. Service is fast and to the point. Its a little on the spendier side for a burrito but it's 2025 so im not mad. The chips are thicc bois and the salsa is too. Can't wait to come back and try more meat options. Also the tortillas are like... crazy good. ”
“ The food was awesome, the atmosphere was great and the price is super fair. My grandpa used to say that the best place to eat is where there are ordinary people eating. And that's definitely the case. The old guy (sorry, it's not an offense) that attends is kind. Highly recommend. I was just passing through the neighborhood and found this diamond. ”
“ I used to come here with my ex in 2010. You have to understand that the Mission was more the mission then than it is now. It was meaner. Filthier. Beauty Bar was still a thing. We broke up. She said she like the burritos outside of the 16th and Mission BART. Well, whatever, right. She don’t know. All they had over there was bottled salsa or what I would call bottled water. Nah man I came in here today I got whole frijoles, salsa con aguacate, real pico, red rice like mom would make a little watery, but that’s just so you know it had tomato infused. I tell you, I ate. I got my sleeves dirty. I looked at the Zagat ratings from over 20 years ago. I would say that if you time traveled here from 2002 you would not be disappointed. Still good service. Still playing the hits. Still a place to bring your significant other. ”
