Wanted to try this place cause apparently it was the best breakfast burrito and some foodies swore by it, lol. It is just ok, nothing crazy but decent. Pretty decent amount of meat which I'll give them that. Greeted when I came in, the place is small yet busy, nice music playing, a few seats inside and there is outside seating. One of the workers is very attentive, getting food out, cleaning and tryna make room for other people, lol. I mean I'd definitely wanna try other breakfast burritos before coming back

Breakfast Burrito  Ceviche Yucateco
Nini M.

THE BEST BREAKFAST BURRITO. The crunch, the spice level, the amount of chorizo and egg. It was perfect!! Must try! I dream about it. We also got the ceviche which wasn't that great. It came with the whole shrimp and not cut up. The sauce was okay. Wouldn't get it again, not worth $18. Customer service was great. Our food was brought out to us. The sauce for the burrito was really good. I'd go there every day if I lived in the area. Seat is limited and we waited about like 15-20 mins for our order. Overall, i would come here just for the burrito!!! Their tables are on the sidewalk so it's a nice brunch spot to people watch and city seeing

Torta de Chilaquiles
Luis G.

As someone who takes their chilaquiles seriously, I had to try the Torta de Chilaquiles and overall, it definitely delivered. The bread was perfectly toasted with just the right amount of crisp on the outside while staying soft inside. When you bite into it, you get that satisfying texture immediately. The portion was generous, packed with saucy chilaquiles, tender shredded chicken, queso fresco and fresh cilantro. But let's talk about the eggs, they were honestly the star. Cooked well, flavorful and they tied the whole sandwich together beautifully. That's what made it feel complete. Now the only thing I'd suggest....Turn up the heat. Flavor wise it's solid, but it could absolutely benefit from more spice to really wake it up and give it that bold punch chilaquiles are known for. Overall, a very satisfying torta and one I'd order again, just with extra salsa next time.

Cochinita Pibil (two tacos)
Lety C.

Another gem taco spot in the mission with the best conchinita pibil I've had in a while. The salbute had pieces of charred pork to die for. Everything was truly delicious. Ceviche yucateco had a nice kick to it. Long line, we had to wait about 10 min to get our order but worth it.

Holay! Why does this place not have more views??? It is a hidden gem? I had no idea what I was waiting for my tastebuds. We were in the area and were going to go to the famous burrito spot. Then saw a lot of people waiting for this spot. Apparently many yelpers saying it's the best breakfast burrito in the city. I admit I am not a breakfast burrito person. But this definitely was delicious! It had chorizo, fluffy egg, avocado, and most importantly crunchy hashbrowns. The perfect breakfast burrito. HOWEVER! The person working there told me her favorite was the chicken quesadilla. So glad I took her advice. This is THE BEST CHICKEN QUESADILLA! I am still dreaming about it.

Hey munchkins! One of my best friends from college is back in town and boy am I excited! We've been walking around a bunch and we are now at Al Carajo! We found this place based on Beli and it was really good! We got a breakfast burrito with hash browns in it which was a stroke of genius! The one downside is that we got the burrito without the chorizo which it seems like it normally revolved around. It was still really good but I don't think it quite reached the peak of culinary excellence it was capable of. The burrito was the perfect thing for warming up on a cloudy overcast day like today!

Came by on a weekday morning and it wasn't crowded. I ordered the famous breakfast burrito and the order was ready in about 5 minutes. The staff were friendly and I felt very welcomed. The burrito itself was everything I expect from a perfect breakfast burrito. Well cooked ingredients and a good ratio between all of them. Without a doubt, this is in my top 3 best chorizo breakfast burritos I've had so far. The hash browns were notably very crispy so I will say that if you prefer your potatoes fluffier this may be a downside. Breakfast burrito was wrapped well so the experience of eating it was clean for me but the tortilla was thick at certain parts. The highlight for me was the sauce which had an amazing pepper flavor to it and it was creamy yet refreshing and bright at the same time. I wish I had asked for more sauce because I was literally drinking it. I'll definitely be coming back to try a different speciality.

Saw so many recommendations for their breakfast burrito, and it did not disappoint! The potato's inside are diced fine and fried so they're crunchy, which gave the burrito a nice bite and texture. The sauce included is sriracha mayo and I do wish a salsa was included instead to make it spicier and less heavy. We also tried the breakfast torta with chilaquiles inside, and this item is shippable. The flavor was okay and the torta fell apart while eating it/bread soaked immediately.

San Francisco have a fascination with burritos. There are a variety of different types of burritos offerings all across the city. The Mission street burrito is usually eaten mostly during the lunch and dinner time . Burritos are now eaten all around the clock and every meal. On 22nd street in the Mission District two of the best breakfast burritos in San Francisco are located a block away from each other. Al Carajo serves a Birria Pizza, Valencia Fish tacos , and great breakfast burritos. The Al Carajo breakfast burrito is very hearty. The break burrito has a flour tortilla, chorizo, tots potatoes, scramble eggs, mix jack & cheese, avocado, syracha mayo. The breakfast burrito had a good crunch and a good flavor and it is savory. One of the best breakfast burritos in San Francisco. Remember Al Carajo isn't a person's with the first name Al and you won't tell someone to go to Al Carajo ( means go to hell in Spanish ) unless it's the restaurant on 22nd street in San Francisco. Al Carajo breakfast burritos are made with a flour "tortilla "they add ingredients like cheese for the Chilaquiles called "cotija"and have a breakfast item called the "Breakfidilla"along with Birria Pizza and Chicken Tinga "Quesadilla" The block on 22nd street known to have a shoe store that sold Pumas named Fred's but now it's "gone" now there is good breakfast burritos flavors of the Peninsula in Mexico called " Yucatán " and wash it down with drink called the Sexihelada as add "on" because they have one of the best breakfast burrito in the city of San Francisco for "Don Juan"

No line around 9am on Saturday. Ordered the breakfast burrito and it was ready in about 10 minutes. There are only two small tables inside but there are 4-5 tables outside you can sit at. The tortilla for the burrito was cooked well and had a slight crisp - a bit better than Breakfast Little's. It did feel like there was more tortilla in this burrito than BL's + a bit more egg too. I opted for no avocado but they provide the siracha mayo on the side, which was nice. Chorizo was standard in flavor but had a good char/smokey-ness to it.

Ceviche Yucateco, Breakfast Burrito
Kelly T.

Hands down the best breakfast burrito I've had in the city. Maybe even the best breakfast burrito I've ever had period. My friends introduced this place to me and I've gotta say that breakfast burrito is for sure a 10/10. I shared one with my friend because I wasn't super hungry but I could've definitely devoured one on my own. I need to come back soon to try the aguachile because I've heard great things, but I also tried the ceviche which is another 10/10 for me. Service and ambiance is overall good, but the food is what really makes it. Will be back soon.

Delicious bfast burrito spot! There is some seating and wait was ~20min on a saturday morning. Loved the orange sauce that comes with the burrito - has a nice spice level. I liked that the burrito was grilled on the outside. The hashbrown inside was crisped so well, a perfect texture contrast. The avocado was fresh and whole. Only wish was there to be more chorizo - it was great, no excess oil drippings.

Ceviche Yucateco
Mauricio B.

Solid spot! I tried their breakfast burrito and it was really good, nothing crazy impressive but one of the better classic breakfast burritos. I wish they put the sauce inside. The crisp of the hash browns was really nice though. My friend ordered the ceviche and it was pretty fresh and good. I also tried my friends torta and I'd say this sandwich was probably their best item on the menu that we tried. Flavors came together nicely and the bread was fresh and fluffy. Grab and go spot, pretty small and limited seating if you want to eat there, which we barely managed to do. All in all it was good but nothing to die for. I'd put other breakfast burritos and Mexican places ahead of this one.

If I don't eat pork, can I get chicken in the breakfast burrito instead of chorizo?

Unfortunately we only make our burrito with chorizo or with out chorizo. We are working hard to get a bigger kitchen so we can have more option on our menu. I really sorry.

I'm excited to try this place! Are reservations needed?

Hi no reservation need. We only have two tables inside, no tables outside because the rain.

Do they have Birria tacos here? I don't see a menu uploaded?

No we don’t do birria tacos sorry.

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!

On a Saturday night in the Castro, this corner of 16th and Market is already poppin' with area bars so while they'll rush out with your order curbside, my son dashed in for speed. Super friendly service, cute cafe tables for dine-in, Tacos El Tucan is now on the dining circuit. Love this spot and it's close by, too. Open very late on Saturday night 'til 2am if you're partying and craving drunchies.

The ambiance makes you think that this place offers amazing food considering the amount of people but when you try the food you will truly understand Super Burrito Carne Asada - 3/10 Regular Burrito Cabeza - 5/10 Burritos are extremely small, very oily and have barely any meat inside. Sauces are mid and they are very stingy as well, the won't provide extra sauces even if you ask nicely. Everything just tasted...bad; if you read this hopefully I can save you some money. Any other mexican food spot would be a better selection. Overall rating 2/5.
