    I recommend coming here if you just want a snack (but not a meal) or just don't want to spend a lot. Located on 3rd Street near South Park by a Shell gas station. They have a small table but just go to the park for one of the benches. Their tacos are cheapest amongst all the food trucks in this surrounding area of SOMA. Problem is their tacos are also the smallest and the fillings and add-ons are skimpiest. Usually, I can eat 3 tacos and am full or borderline stuffed. I had 4 tacos here and felt like would be hungry again in a couple hours.

    If you're in a lunchtime rush around South Park, this taco truck by the Shell gas station will do the trick. Decent tacos but note that they're quite small though. They're pretty speedy with the orders and I'm generally in and out in under 5 minutes. I like the carnitas which are moist and flavorful but the carne asada can be a little dry. The fish tacos are pretty decent too. As mentioned above, you probably need quite a few tacos to feel full. If you're looking for a more filling meal, you're better off getting a burrito or torta for lunch. They also serve breakfast burritos for mornings when you really need more than cereal to get started. Not the most outstanding Mexican taco truck but it beats the lines in South Park any day if you're in a rush. Note that they are cash only though.

    Al Pastor Taco - Tasty

    It's a good Taco Truck. I can't necessarily tell you every single element that makes this a solid little taco truck, but I can tell you that this one is solid. If you're walking down 3rd Street in SoMa, you'll find this place consistently parked out front of the Shell. I'd be perfectly happy to recommend this spot to someone craving some Mexican street food who would be walking by in the 'hood. I've eaten here a couple of times, although I think I only checked in once. The tacos were legit and tasty. They have a pretty good sized menu of other items as well. My theory about Mexican food is that you generally have to work a bit to do it badly - yet people frequently do, which baffles me. Clean, tasty, fast, good service. No dodgy meat. When I get a taco, it is full of good ingredients and it is clear the person who assembled it put forth some effort. I believe they also get here early enough for Breakfast Burritos, which I would be happy to try. They actually do have a table sitting outside the truck, but what you should do is walk over to South Park (no, not the foul-mouthed kids in Colorado) which is about half a block away. Not a shabby place to hang out on a workday and have a taco. Maybe I'm particularly biased because a random woman walked over to me while I was eating and said: "Are you Adam S. from Yelp?" True story. But, never blow your cover. I asked: "What's a Yelp?"

    Probably the best al pastor I've ever had and I love their salsa. Has a nice spice that you can't put down!

I ordered the carnitas burrito and my husband ordered the carne asada one. We also asked the guys for a salsa picante and their house made one delivered! The ingredients were tasty, well seasoned and fresh. Service is quick, food and ambiance are no frills and cash only. I think about this burrito daily and am willing to travel across the country to get it again. Not to mention, but this is a Mission style burrito in the Mission! This is the only way to do it and I now totally understand the hype.

A few people were already in there eating, and we know this place is good, as a few others in our group and I have been here multiple times. 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!

Crunchy with shrimp and a creamy cabbage and the chicken redolent with lots of fresh cilantro, it was the first time I had a red taco. This will be my go-to always. My son had the crunchy red burrito ($15.75) with chorizo, crispy cheese, sour cream, pinto beans, guacamole and pico de gallo with a horchata to drink. 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 line was quite long wrapped around the block but took about 25 minutes because people come here sit down and they eat and leave pretty quickly because the lines are long.

The staff here are very friendly, but please make sure you accommodate because there is a lot of people waiting in line so I'm not saying eat your food fast and leave. There is benches and tables which make it feel like you walked into a Hispanic home as well. The Strawberry Horchata and mango Agua Fresca is really good 10 out of 10.

I have tried a plethora Mexican food places as I enjoy it the most and this has by far let me down the most. Although it is super packed and has a lot of business I suspect it used to be amazing and build a reputable name, then finished quality over time and continue to receive customers due to their past performance. 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.
