If you're wandering through San Francisco and the craving for a massive, foil-wrapped masterpiece hits, Burritos Loco is a solid contender--provided you know exactly what to order. Here's the breakdown of what to double down on and what might leave you wanting a bit more. The Star: The Steak (Carne Asada) This is where Burritos Loco earns its name. Their steak is consistently the highlight of the menu. * The Flavor: It's got that perfect, smoky char that suggests the grill actually sees some action. It isn't just "gray meat" in a tube; it's seasoned with a punchy, savory blend that holds its own against the rice and beans. * The Texture: You get those coveted crispy edges without the meat being chewy or full of gristle. * Pro Tip: Get the Super Burrito with steak. The fattiness of the avocado and the saltiness of the steak create a top-tier SF mission-style experience. The Chicken (Pollo) While the steak is a home run, the chicken feels a bit more dry. * The Issue: It tends to be a bit on the dry side. Compared to the bold seasoning of the steak, the chicken can get lost in the shuffle of the other ingredients. * The Verdict: If you're trying to be "healthy" by choosing poultry, you might find yourself reaching for extra salsa just to give it some moisture and kick. It's not bad, but in a city with elite burrito competition, it doesn't quite stand out. read more

I ordered the Carnitas Super Burrito and it hit the spot. The carnitas was greasy in the best way--crispy, flavorful, and packed with that rich, savory goodness you want in a burrito. It was huge and super satisfying--definitely one of those meals where you're full but still tempted to keep eating. Everything was well-balanced, from the meat to the rice and beans, and the salsa added a nice kick without overpowering it. read more

I've been there at least three times so I think this is a fair review for mexican food joint.Their food really sucks you order carnitas.It has a cinnamon taste to it.The carne Asad is dry and hard. I believe I will never eat there again.I don't even trust the rice and beans read more

2nd time visiting. I had the Surf 'n Turf Burrito (super) which was excellent. The shrimp was juicy and sweet, perfectly cooked. The carne asada was flavorful and tender. All of the ingredients tasted super fresh, everything in good proportion. I scarfed the whole thing down and am now super full. Also had the horchata which was the best horchata I've had in forever. Nice strong cinnamon flavor and very creamy. I'm definitely hooked on this place now. read more

It is always a pleasure to visit Burrito Loco. Enrique and his team produce a tasty product without any drama or hassle. We go there once a week and get the al pastor, grilled chicken, and sautéed shrimp burritos - all delicious and satisfying. I don't always review food establishments, but this one is recommended. read more

Not that I ever had anything against them, but for the longest time, I could never seem to remember Burrito Loco unless I was looking right at them. No particular reason why either, as when I do see this place, the first thought that always comes to mind is how I still need to check this place out. I'd like to think my forgetfulness is just because I pass by here so often that they just start to blending into the background or that I just don't really think of West Portal when I think of where to get a burrito. However, it's just me and my awful memory are to blame... Compared to other burrito joints that I've been to, especially in the Mission, Burrito Loco doesn't really feel like your typical taqueria and it's quite a bit smaller. However, they've got just about everything you could reasonable expect...and then some. Not only will you find the usual offerings of burritos, tacos, and nachos, but you can also opt for taco salads, nacho fries and chicken wings as well. Plus, their selection of meats is pretty legit, ranging from staples like carne asada, grilled chicken, and carnitas to comparatively less common options, such as al pastor, sauteed shrimp, and lengua (beef tongue). In all, a pretty a good variety of choices from a seemingly small, little shop! -- SUPER BURRITO with Al Pastor, Rice, Beans, Cheese, Pico de Gallo, Sour Cream, and Guacamole...$12.50 (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/burrito-loco-san-francisco-2?select=h7DgU9ZoNhDO5FkF_6nORw) Not as good as others I've had, but definitely not bad either. The burrito was decently full/plump and made for a sizable meal. However, I didn't think the al pastor was all that flavorful, as it felt more salty than seasoned to me. -- SUPER BEEF NACHOS - Tortilla Chops, Grilled Steak, Black Beans, Cheese, Pico de Gallo, Sour Cream, and Guacamole...$14 (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/burrito-loco-san-francisco-2?select=AHSBgZvVXv_tWJxy8zfP9w) Even with minimal expectations (nachos never hold up as to-go), this still disappointed. While it was topped with a generous amount of goodies, the chips are super thin, so they got ridiculously soggy (they even tore apart). I did like their steak, though, which was meaty and quite tasty. -- SUPER TACO with CARNITAS, Onion, Cilantro, Green Salsa, Cheese, Guacamole, and Sour Cream...$5.95 (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/burrito-loco-san-francisco-2?select=ZC_owDmUJ_7YHMflDqvUcQ) We may have got this on a whim (felt pricey), but it turned out great! The carnitas were fantastic and there was so much salsa, sour cream, and guacamole on it, using a form was practically a must. I worried the tortilla was going to be gummy, but it was perfectly fine. All in all, while nothing we had was anywhere near "bad", it'd be fair to say that my experiences here have been rather mixed. The burrito was hit or miss, the nachos were underwhelming, and the tacos ended up being better than I thought they'd be. Perhaps it's my fault for getting the nachos in spite of the concerns I knew I'd have, but hard to resist nachos in general. I can see why folks like this place, especially given how there aren't many burrito joints in the nearby area, but I'd be more inclined to come here when I see them and I'm craving a burrito than making a point of it when I can head to one of my usual haunts instead. THREE AND A HALF STARS rounded down. read more

Came by yesterday for the first time ever not knowing what to expect, but it was a great find. Mission style burritos done right. I brought home the Al pastor burrito with black beans, and it was delicious. They didn't ask, but they toasted the tortilla. It was great. Plus points for the authentic thin chips and the really spicy hot sauce. He wasn't kidding. It was really spicy. read more

Yea great food .. I got a super chicken and shrimp burrito. It was good. Tasty sandwich chips.

First time here. Got a steak and shrimp burrito to take home for me and my wife to share. And it didn't disappoint. We will for sure go again when we need a meal for dinner. Great job loco. read more

We love the food and service here. We call in and have our food ready within 10min. The guy on the phone is always super enthusiastic.

I love this little burrito shop. It's located right by the Muni tunnel, and there's also street parking right outside. I always call in to order, so I won't have to wait to pick up. If you're walking in from the neighborhood, you'll be enticed by the aroma of the grilled meats a block before you get there. My go to is the super surf and turf burrito. It really hits the spot with succulent shrimp and tasty chunks of Carne Asada. But this time, I just wanted a little snack for tonight, and save the rest for tomorrow. Was thinking of trying their taco salad, but decided to try the Carne Asada fries instead. I'm used to having smaller sized french fries in Carne Asada, but these lean more toward steak fries. I want to say, somewhere in between McDonald's fries, and steak fries. Either way, definitely filling, and has a good crunch when hot and fresh. Topping the fries is a generous portion of everything: Beans, cheese, meat, and especially the salsa, sour cream, and guacamole. Everything tastes super clean, but no mistaking that this is going to be a heavy meal lol. Golly, so many carbs, so plan to share, or have a small portion if you have the willpower to stop eating. Anyway, 100% would do this again. read more

Quick service, friendly, great burrito (Cheeseburger Burrito). Convenient location, right next to muni.

Great food. Particularly the roast chicken. Owner is very nice as well. Quick service.

Love the fish burrito. Good size and good price. Friendly staff. Conveniently located near the bus but hard to park.

It has a unique flavor... I'd say a a bit Asian perhaps.... Very friendly yet Responsible leader, I felt well taken care of since the first time. Small space but, still offers a few places to grub on before commuting in and out of West Portal. 10 read more

Go for the sautéed super shrimp burrito & leave satisfied The sautéed super shrimp burrito is the best shrimp burrito I've ever had. It's a big burrito packed with flavor and juiciness. For just $12, it can feed 2 moderately hungry people. The complimentary chips and salsa/pico de gallo is the cherry on top too. read more

Good Mexican food option in the West Portal area Stopped by this small taqueria in West Portal in San Francisco to grab dinner before heading home. During the pandemic season takeout or delivery are the only options while they are open. We ordered a regular steak burrito and shared it. We requested it to be split in two portions and they they even wrapped them individually so we were able to eat them with making a mess in the car. It was a good size portion! They also gave us complimentary chips and salsa. If you wanted to supersize that sucker they will include Guac and sour cream in your burrito. The two men (one cook) worked fast and got us in and out quickly. Friendly too! Burrito Loco is walking distance from the West Portal muni station and located next to Bullshead Restaurant on the same street. Review #2039 read more

3.5 stars. The burritos are decent. Ok for taste but when you have some of the best tasting burritos in the Mission, it's stiff competition. The staff is fabulous. Always greeting customers with a big welcome. Took about 8-10 mins wait for our 3 burritos as it's a small shop, take out only. So conveniently next to the West Portal Muni tunnel that you can pick up a burrito and hop on a train and head in bound. We tried: carne asada, carnitas and shrimp. My burrito had nice, fresh shrimp ($1 extra for shrimp and meats but not chicken or pork) with still a crunchy texture to it, about 6-7 medium shrimps in the burrito. They ask you what kind of beans you'd like whereas most places will slap on the pinto beans without asking. The rice was over cooked and too mushy. A bite of the other 2 burritos didn't wow me. I could only finish 1/2 and on a second day, I poured the green sauce over it and it tasted better. Their green sauce isn't the usual tomatillo salsa, it has a creamy texture like guacamole sauce. Next time, I'll try the tacos instead. read more

Small corner establishment in the primarily residential area of West Portal Avenue next to the Muni terminal station dishing fresh Mexican favorites of burritos, enchiladas, nachos, quesadillas and tacos.

Expect a queue as phone-in orders are filled with minimal wait time of 7-10 minutes if not busy. Attentive friendly staff. Masks required. Vaccination proof are not requested. read more

Food was ready when I arrived. Free chips and salsa! The location is next to a major transit stop. Great place to grab food after work.

This was my first time here so I tried the grilled chicken burrito (spicy) with guacamole and fixings --this is my baseline for comparing taquerias. It was tasty and well-prepared, and the hot habanero salsa was HOT and flavorful. It was such a super-filling lunch, I wasn't hungry for dinner. It's a small place with good food so a line does form, but takeout service is relatively fast (5-10 mins). I'll be back to try their carnitas and other offerings. P.S. I'm glad they throw in chips if you want them. I hate when places charge for them! read more

Great Taquaria with a friendly staff. Got my super veggie burrito. Many veggie/vegan possibilities.

While the complementary tortilla chips and 4 salsas were nicely done, I was a bit disappointed with my carnitas burrito. The chips were light and nicely salted. One of the salsas was habanero based which had a nice amount of heat and flavor. The carnitas burrito was definitely lacking the meat itself. While it was a sizeable hand held meal, it just was missing the taste the meat. As some point, I wondered if I had been given a bean and cheese burrito! read more

This place is a hole in the wall conveniently located next to the West Portal muni station. I ordered their breakfast burrito and it was quite hefty! The burrito came with a side of chips and salsa, which was great bonus and all for under $10 If you decide to stay and eat, there's a few chairs around and self serve water station. The staff were nice and quick and I got my burrito in about 10 minutes. read more

Today I was blessed with the opportunity to go to my favorite place on earth, Burrito Loco. To express my euphoria, an ode to Burrito Loco. Nothing can compare to the soft tortillas, the tender meats, the rich guacamole, the fluffy rice, and the golden beans. Never have I eaten a better thing in my life let alone a better burrito. Somehow, this incredible oasis has gotten even lovelier. The ambiance is more delightful than ever. With plenty of classy bar stools and a new table, it is easier than ever to relax and take a load off. The music is both lively and comforting and you can even watch your favorite show on la televisión. My most best friend in the world is the enthusiast gentleman whom I have the pleasure of telling my order to. Burrito loco feels like home and the people who run this amazing establishment feel like family. If I could provide every person one piece of advice, it would be to do yourself a huge favor and mossy over to Burrito Loco. read more
