Carnitas Super Burrito (instagram: wooneats)
Kiana S.

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.

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.

Very very disappointed   : (

Been here a few times and the quality of food has been very good. They recently raised their prices. I ordered a regular beef burrito and when I got home I discovered it was 95% beans and rice with just a few tiny bits of beef. WHERE'S THE BEEF???

Super Surf n Turf Burrito

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.

Super Burrito with Al Pastor, Rice, Pinto Beans, Cheese, Pico de Gallo, Sour Cream, and Guacamole

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.

Super Carne Asada Fries

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.

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.

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

Carne asada had too much gristle and was tough. :(

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!

When you get here, the line always looks long, but it actually moved pretty fast. There will be two…read moreseparate lines - one for dine in, and one for takeout. 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.
