Street Meat Burrito, horchata
James G.

One of my favorite places to get a burrito in the mission. Service is always fast, and the staff is incredibly friendly. Love it here, you just order and wait on the sidewalk nearby. No real seating nearby but they have bags if you need. Went on a Tuesday and got a free horchata with purchase. I stop by often.

Soooo much food, salsa and sides!! But that rice + grilled veggies though... OMG!!!
Mrs. Nic L.

My original go to I was unavailable and their choice was charging me $25 per person then four days before the event they wanted to charge me $700 to feed 18 people. I then began scrambling and reached out to this company, and for 18 folks, I ordered 65 tacos in steak and chicken, and cheese, steak and chicken quesadilla and a pan of beans and a pan of rice and oh my goodness so many sides it was amazing. I even Amazoned chafing dishes with burners at the bottom to them to them!! They gave me plates forks gloves additional containers and everything...They were so accommodating so professional it was insane not to mention the veggie option was grilled onions and bell peppers and it was sooooooooo good!!!!! This food was absolutely amazing and it was incredibly affordable!!! I will forever be a customer of theirs I am incredibly impressed with the prices and the flavor because my favorite thing was the rice. Absolutely incredible!! We all got to take home to-go plates and my fiancé looooves it too... Customer f o r e v e r

Dead roach on top of rice.

First of all, let me start by saying this. Recently, I was promoted to a new job that is very close to this Alfaro Catering Food Truck (ACFT). My new colleagues highly recommended this food truck as a great place to get some good Mexican food. I've eaten here twice within the past couple of weeks. Today, I ordered 2 super tacos- which also came with beans and rice. I paid, received my food and walked back to my office. After washing my hands I opened the container. I took a bite out of one of the tacos. "Delicious!!!" I said to myself. I reached for my fork to dig into the rice, and oh snap... guess what I saw... a f*ckin roach. Long story short. I got my refund. The worker apologized. I can tell he felt really bad. But, so are the roach images that I have in my head.

Great taco truck set up near Four Barrel, almost directly accross the street. Decided to try it out and I'm glad I did. Cheap, fast, and good. The tacos are stacked, cheap, and come in traditional taco truck style. The carnitas is well done, crispy and tender, and the Carne asada is tasty. Super tacos come with a side of rice if you are really hungry. Burritos are very filling, lots of meat with some rice and beans. I got the super for added guacamole and sour cream. Menu is pretty simple. But I did have someone behind me special order a quesadilla and a vegetarian burrito so it looks like they take special requests as well. And hard to beat $1 horchata. Protip: order the carnitas tacos. This place is simple, doesn't have a lot of fluff, but the food is oh so delicious.

Always love coming to the mission , my food expectations and needs when it comes to Mexican cuisine are always met here . Today i tried out Alfaro's and it was the best decision that I've made today . I ordered the lengua torta with a nice cold sprite for $11 . This is a deal when it come to eating in the city. The buns were nicely toasted which gave the sandwich a nice buttery crunch which complimented the mild sauce smothered tomatoes. Definitely a go to staple now when i return

Love SF! You can walk by a random Taco truck and get some solid tacos. Alfaro slings well sized tacos with some good heat in their sauce. I might skip the carne asado next time and only get the pollo and Carnitas

The food is good, and it's clear that people will fall in line for it. I don't mind going back. Chips: It's free, and it's chips w/ salsa. Enjoy it. Birria Taco: I think a lot of restaurants are starting to understand how birria is made, so I'm noticing that the average quality is going up. While the taste profile of the meat and the consommé are above average for this place, I feel that the birria that I eat is beginning to taste the same. Kudos on the size; some spots skimp on the size. Lengua Super Burrito: I think this is priced very well for a large burrito. I am a fan of their lengua, and I'm also happy to report that I didn't feel cheated with the lengua portion size inside the burrito. I tried their asasda, and it was bad, so I'm very happy that the lengua was very good. Service: You order, you pay, you wait for the food to arrive. Nothing crazy. Ambiance: It's a smaller corner spot, so you really gotta get lucky with the seating. The line can get crazy at certain hours of the day, so it's gonna be hard to sit and stay a while. I'd just eat here and move on.

There is a line that almost wraps around the block for a good reason when this place is open around…read morelunch time. Their lack of rice in their burritos makes it so that their meat portions are super generous. Their service time was decently fast. After placing our order we were able to get our food within 15 minutes. Super crowded in person so in person seating might not be feasible when it is busy. Carne Asada was super juicy and for the price and volume I was very pleased. Dorado (toasted) doesn't do much if you're taking to go since the tin foil kind of bakes the juices and makes the burrito soggy anyway. Highly recommend giving this spot a try. Would definitely return to try thejr super burritos!

If you're dining in, after placing your order, you'll wait in another line inside for a table. I personally enjoy the carne asada super burrito here. But whatever burrito you get, make sure to get it dorado style so the tortilla will be grilled and extra toasty. If you prefer not to wait in line, luckily there are plenty of other great taquerias in the Mission as well that are just as or almost just as good. But if you have time to spare, La Taq is worth it.

Cocina Mamá Cholita is such a find, it's a total WOW!…read more It's totally worth three times around the block for street parking (really). On a scrubby block of the outer Mission, I used to be here weekly for social skills therapy with my son at KidSpace. So, I was familiar with the parking challenges. Ten minutes later we headed in. Clean, welcoming warm, they invited us to try anything before ordering. We were ready to order the enchiladas divorciadas ($18.49) and breakfast burrito with guacamole ($16.99). We were kindly fussed over by a woman I think was the young owners' mom. She wiped down our table, brought chips and three kinds of salsa and my coffee plus cream and sugar. My son wolfed down the enchiladas with green and red sauces and I saved half of my breakfast burrito for dinner later. My burrito was deliciously filling - and I was super hungry - that's how satisfying it was! The owner told me they make the chorizo sausage in house. The burrito had a wonderful smoky flavor, almost like bacon. Check out this wonderful, newer spot on the 3400 block of Mission. Lovely owners, great food!
