Fried Mac and Cheese
Rebecca B.

Really good fish tacos! Great portion and chips included. Salsa had a bit of spice! Very nice. California Burrito is decent. Pass on the fried mac n cheese balls. They gave a kind of spicy mayo as dip. Would love it if they had the Dungeness crab cake by itself with a lemon wedge or two. Would forsure return for the fish tacos and to try their shrimp tacos!

Weird logo, that's no their name?

A food truck with a suspiciously large menu, so it kinda feels like a diner on wheels. With such a wide offering, it's not surprisingly that the menu items are kind of hit-or-miss. The Philly Steak Sandwich was probably one of the worst I've ever had while the fish tacos were pretty solid. Hence, the 3-stars (averaging 2-star with a 4-star). Philly Steak Sandwich: If you're going to invoke Philly Steak in your sandwich name, then it should bear some resemblance to the famous sandwich. Sadly, not here. The "steak" was too thick and kinda gristly. The bread wasn't not that nice chewy hoagie texture, but kinda firm and crusty like ciabatta. And no Cheez Whiz. In a similar vein of deception, the advertised garlic fries were not garlic fries at all. Kinda felt like Sysco frozen fries with some Old Bay Seasoning. Pretty disappointing overall. Fish Tacos: The fish portion was very generous here, with each of the two tacos overflowing with fish. Was actually messy since it was so overfilled and had a lot of sauces. But if you don't mind getting messy, it kinda all works together.

A weekly stop for me, a true gem in the mission Bay Area. Located a few blocks from the UCSF Campus, it is an easy place to grab a solid lunch or dinner. The quality is something that speaks for itself, it's a place I recommend my colleagues and friends to check out. The owner of the restaurant is also an amazing person and it's always a pleasure seeing him once a week.

Caesar salad with shrimp
Annabelle R.

We stopped by this past Saturday for a late dinner, and service was fast and friendly. A lot of options to choose from on the menu. Got the fried mac n cheese balls, and caesar salad with shrimp, and both items were amazing! The mac n cheese balls were hot, cheesy, crisp on the outside, and a good size. The salad was huge and filling, fresh greens, plenty of plump grilled shrimp, and not overdressed in caesar, the dressing with just the right tanginess. Seating was plentiful after 8pm at Parklab Gardens. Parking isn't easy here though (better to uber).

Their version of a Steak Burrito
Christina C.

Ordered the Steak Burrito and was extremely disappointed. I should've read the description where it said there was lettuce in the burrito and should've known there wouldn't be any rice or beans. This is not your typical steak burrito. It's more of a wrap I would say. There's so much lettuce! The steak was just a bunch of fat pieces that I couldn't chew on either. I didn't even eat half of the "burrito" before I threw it away. They also have a California burrito as well which probably would've been a better choice. I've also had their crab cake sandwich which was just crab cakes with hamburger buns, a little bit of sauce, greens and onions. Honestly would've just preferred the crab cakes and sauce by itself instead. Their fish tacos and shrimp tacos sound a little better but I don't think I would give this place another try.

I live in Mission Bay and I've passed up this truck for the past 10 months. I think that the menu is a bit overwhelming with the extensive list of options, so I made the wrong assumption that their food couldn't be that great. When I finally decided to give it a shot, I was pleasantly surprised at how yummy their food is. I got the fish tacos, and mmm they're so good! It also comes with chips and salsa, which were also perfect. Definitely coming back to try other menu items!

Shrimp Tacos
Terry N.

If you're looking for some heavenly seafood tacos, look no further than Chefs Work food truck at SPARK Social SF! The truck says "we taste better than we look" and that was so true!! Their fish tacos are grilled to perfection and seasoned beautifully, topped with the right amount of pico de gallo, cheese, guacamole and chipotle aioli (we opted for no cole slaw). The fish simply melts in your mouth and the portions are generous. Each fish taco included what appeared to be at least an 8oz filet. Sometimes with grilled fish tacos, the fish can be overpowered by the toppings, but thankfully it was balanced perfectly. The shrimp in the avocado shrimp tacos were large and juicy, also seasoned and grilled to perfection and topped with a similar chipotle aioli. Pleasantly surprised to get three in one order. Love getting excellent quality from a food truck!! Pro tip: Try going during the week if you can, less wait and you can sit in the tee-pees or other nice seating areas!

Philly steak one of a kind, delicious.

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.

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!

I had the birria enchilada divorciadas. All three of the sauces were absolutely delicious I went for mole and the green salsa. The chips & salsa came w 3 salsas that were all very flavorful and unique. My husband had the birria tacos. Best I ever had. Pleaseeee try theirs if you love birria tacos. It didn't feel like restaurant food, more so someone's mom feeding a homecooked meal - which it is. Loved it. It's a simple, clean, friendly family run joint with very delicious food. Will be back for more!
