You want a flavorful tasty bomb asssss burrito this is the mf spot!!!! They burritos are fireeeeeeee A1' Bay Area certified Yeee read more

Phenomenal flavors and amazing tortillas!!! The tortilla is no question the best and most unique part of their burritos -- flaky and chewy all in one. The grilled vegetable burrito was particularly delicious, but I think it is missing some fat (like guac, sour cream, and cheese) to balance the salt. However, the bathroom and inside of the restaurant was a little dirty and sticky. I think this is where they could improve. I will definitely be going here again, but I would ask to add grilled vegetables in the vegetarian super burrito. read more

They have an amazing selection! Love their shrimp quesadilla -stuffed with fresh shrimp, the BIG ones not the minis. I can get two very filling meals out of this (pic is of half serving). They also have a whole fried fish that is so good. Five stars! read more

El Rancho Grande - Shrimp quesadilla - Mexican Near Me - San Francisco, California

A solid SF style super burrito, I usually get the Al pastor. The carne asada, buche, and cabeza are good as well. It's very flavorful, fresh, and the portions are hefty. Little expensive at about $15 for the super burrito, but that's just SF for you and the burrito is big and heavy enough that it feels like a good value. Chips included. My biggest gripe is that the restaurant is too dirty, beyond my standard of acceptable, there are often flies flying around inside and all the tables, floors, and counters are grimy. I always get my food to go, there's a nice park to eat in a couple blocks away, or else the burrito will hold for a drive home without issue. The salsa bar is good when it's open and out, which used to be always, but since COVID it is sporadic. I'd suggest this spot if you're local and it's convinient, if you're making a trek for a mission burrito there are better (and cleaner) restaurants. I'll still be back though, this is a conveniently placed taqueria for me and the food is solid! read more

El Rancho Grande - Al pastor super burrito - Mexican Near Me - San Francisco, California

Kind of sad they got rid of the big sauce bar, especially since they don't give you as much sauce anymore. Their birria tacos are still my all time favorite. I'll also get the carne asada tacos sometimes, which are pretty solid, and I'm a fan of their carne asada fries too (love that they offer fries since not every Mexican spot does). The horchata is really good, but honestly I've rarely had a bad one anywhere. Overall, it's a solid spot. Parking can be tough since it's on a busy street, so I usually just order for pickup. read more

I have to say this is the most disgusting burrito I've ever had in my entire life. Usually there's something redeemable about a burrito but this one was just horrible all around. The guacamole was runny and tasteless, the chile relleno pepper was hard, and in general it tasted like one of the ingredients had gone bad. Turns out it was the salsa. It has some kind of sweet flavor that tastes like it's turned. Unfortunately, I didn't discover this until I got home. I just threw it out. And I got charged 25¢ bag fee, which isn't that much, but I literally had a bag with me that I could've put the burrito in if she'd asked. What a waste of money. Don't go here. read more

El Rancho Grande - Looked okay, tasted bad - Mexican Near Me - San Francisco, California

Lately, over the last several years, I've had some pretty low quality nachos. Then I walked into El Rancho Grande Taqueria, ordered regular nachos, no meat, got a side of sour cream, and had the best nacho experience I've ever had!! Holy sh*t, they were awesome! Perfect chips, get some extra chips if needed, great beans, finely diced tomatoes in the salsa and I got to hear the darling staff singing Mexican songs in the background! Best nachos ever!!! I love this place, I love the staff and I can't recommend the nachos enough! YUM!! read more

I came here late last night after an event nearby. I can't lie, being from Southern California, I wasn't expecting much as I don't expect much from the Bay Area in terms of Mexican food at all. After reading some other reviews, I opted for a CARNE ASADA CALIFORNIA BURRITO and I was highly impressed. This burrito was absolutely delicious. Not greasy at all, the beef was quality. The tortilla was perfectly heated up on the sides and not soggy at all. The French fries inside weren't too drying and were good. Everything about this was delicious and their salsas were also great. It came with chips on the side as well. I highly recommend and would DEFINITELY go back not just for late night food, but if I'm ever looking for a good burrito!!!! read more

El Rancho Grande - Carne asada California Burrito (pls get this, so good) - Mexican Near Me - San Francisco, California

Best burrito and quesadilla I've had in SF without needing to risk my life for! The meat and toppings are so flavorful.

If you want a big, hearty breakfast burrito, El Rancho Grande is the place to go! They had a few different options of breakfast burrito, but I wanted something with hasbrowns, bacon, eggs, cheese, lettuce, guacamole, and beans. They didn't have a breakfast burrito similar enough to this, so I had to get add ons which made my burrito prestige pricey (20). Staff were nice and patient through this process and my burrito was really good! read more

Whatever you do, do NOT order the quesadilla here! It was so greasy and completely drenched in oil that we couldn't finish it. I also got a carne asada burrito, which was a lot better but still somewhat on the greasy side. I'm not sure it's worth ordering from this place again. read more

Best authentic tacos I've had in a long time! I wasn't too sure judging from the look of the place, but man, the flavors of the food pays off! I got two chicken tacos, and they were basic but blew my mind! -the reason I'm writing this review. Wife got the Caldo de Pollo, and it was bomb too. Loaded with chicken and vegetables. Give it a try. read more

2024 was the year I did a lot of take out/grubhub because I had some perks. And thanks to that, I discovered my fav take out places across the city. As a vegetarian it's hard to identify a Mexican place/ taqueria that does vegetarian well. I mean only beans, cheese, salsa don't count as veggies in a burrito. I can 100 percent recommend the spring burrito from here to anyone that wants a great veggie burrito. Dear management , kindly improve the integrity of your spring burritos because it is literally my most fav thing to eat I can't speak for the ambiance because I've never dined in. But hey if you are vegetarian and a burrito is what's in it head, you are not going to care about their ambiance. read more

Was heading out to Brenda's on Divisadero. They were closed on a monday normally open . Remember passing this spot a block away. We've been back trying different items.

El Rancho Grande - Super Quesadilla/grilled jalapeños complimentary condiments . - Mexican Near Me - San Francisco, California

After drinking late, this place was open until 2 am and we all decided to get some tacos. Each taco is around $4.25, and the margarita $10. This place really hit the late night taco cravings, and I would come here again in the day as well. Interior is simple but it's just a nice hole in the wall taco place so you're not looking for ambiance here. Service was quick, and very friendly. Everyone liked their food. If you're looking for taco place on the cheaper end for SF pricing, I would say this is a solid choice. read more

El Rancho Grande - Two carne asada tacos and a mango Margarita. Comes with free chips and salsa - Mexican Near Me - San Francisco, California

I was there tonight for a quick bite with my husband after the Halloween party, I got a burrito and my husband got a taco salad. The burrito was disgusting, the meat was old at least 4-6 days , the tortilla as well was soft and dry in the edges very disappointing never again read more

There's something about the taste of their meat that's very offputting. I think it may be their salsa that they use. I don't know, but there's something sweet. It's giving a barbecue sauce and it's not good at all on top of that. I ordered a super taco thinking that it would just be in addition with guacamole cheese and the stuff listed, however, when you open it, it's literally a pound of produce on top of the tortilla with barely any meat I appreciate what they were trying to do however, if someone orders a taco, it should still be able to be handheld. It's so much produce on top that you literally cannot see the tortilla and then once you get to it, it's soggy complete waste of money. I can't do anything with this. This is more like a taco bowl and again that's fine if I had ordered a taco bowl I did not. I wanted a simple taco. I've had a lot of burritos in my lifetime consider considering growing up in the Bay Area, but this has to be the worst one I've had so far also I ordered a burrito and the steak was literally filled with Fat in every bite. It's super offputting, especially because you can't see it ahead of time. read more

I'm not a picky eater. I never leave reviews. But the food this place serves is completely inedible and nauseating. I've tried the quesadilla (so much grease it soaked through hard plastic) and the nachos (picture below). The nachos had almost no cheese, and as you can see it looks like the food has been sitting out for days and should be fed to an animal. Seriously, even if you're drunk and this is the only place left open, you're better off going to a corner store and getting microwave ramen noodles. read more

El Rancho Grande - Carne Asada Super Nachos - Mexican Near Me - San Francisco, California

I love this place. Carne asada burritos and mushroom quesadillas are amazing. Service is quick and reliable.

Came here coz they had a good review but was so disappointed and disgusted. As soon as we got our food served in the table, a medium size cockroach came crawling under the table and across our table. You would think the staff would asked why we jumped and squirm but nope. Them before you know it, another cockroach a little bit bigger came crawling by the wall behind us. At this point we don't even wanna eat our food. read more

El Rancho Grande - regular nachos with grilled chicken - Mexican Near Me - San Francisco, California

Came here after a night out because it was still open and wanted to grab something to eat. The service was very friendly but there was limited seating. Luckily, it wasn't too busy. We ordered a corn quesadilla which I really enjoyed but it was on the greasier side. We also got the regular nachos with carne asada which I didn't love but it was pretty big and we couldn't finish it all. I wanted to order more but I didn't have enough room. I'd come back if I was in the same position again but I'm not sure if it's anything I'd run back to read more

I am lactose so getting foods with milk products is, for the most part, a no go. This makes taqueria's tricky because when you order basic burritos, you sometimes tend to taste the quality of the ingredients more so than if it is stuffed with sour cream, cheese, and guacamole. I have when the meat is dry and flavorless. That was not the case here. I wanted something to eat and they happen to still be open. I wasn't expecting much especially when I saw the reasonable prices on the menu. This is why when I took my first bit I was pleasantly surprised. The meat was seasoned nicely. Perfectly cooked pieces of carne asada. Full of flavor. You have your choice of beans which was great because I prefer black beans over brown refried. The salsa only added to the flavor of the burrito plus they offered a homeless gentleman free steak tacos which definitely shows what kind of people work there. Friendly and helpful. It was near closing time but it was a generous thing to do. Everyone there was simply enjoying some good food and getting ready to call it a night. Good place to go, especially if in the neighborhood at night. read more

A no-frills neighborhood Mexican eatery with reasonable prices and portions. I liked my cabeza quesadilla, it came with plenty of meat and was more than enough for one meal. however, the fish taco I found to be quite bland but it came with a good amount of fish. read more

As soon as you walk in the atmosphere is lively and the vibes are positive. Cashier is super friendly and the cooks are all singing out loud to the music being played in the restaurant. I ordered an al pastor super burrito here. Super good. The meat is marinated well and tender, no tough bites or chews. The rest of the ingredients inside the burrito is evenly distributed which keeps the burrito tasty and not soggy. I wish I took a picture but I was super hungry and couldn't wait. Tortilla chips come with a purchase of a burrito. I've been coming here since high school and the food is always great. read more

Food was pretty good. The store felt like an authentic Mexican spot like the ones back in Texas! It was a quick burrito that kept me full and it's super close to Alamo Square Park, so if you want to eat it in a different area, you totally can! The service was great and quick, not much to say there. Would recommend!! read more

El Rancho Grande - Super vege Burrito - Mexican Near Me - San Francisco, California

Came here after a long busy day at outsidelands so there was a huge crowd. It took quite a while to get out orders and they were absolutely swamped. The interior is a standard taqueria decorated interior with tiles and bright lights. I got a super burrito with carnitas and an horchata. The horchata really hits the spot after a hot day and has a good amount of cinnamon. The burrito was really greasy but tasted amazing. They give you a small bag of chips and salsa to go with your order. Definitely a place to check out for a night time snack to sober up or if you're feeling munchy but if it's a busy day then it might take a while to get food. read more

El Rancho Grande - Super burrito with carnitas. It is bursting - Mexican Near Me - San Francisco, California

I ordered the omelet breakfast burrito with bacon, and it was super fresh and tasty! Service was friendly. It had egg cooked thin and rolled around bacon, cheese, hashbrowns, and a chunky ranchero-style salsa. It's came with a little bag of tortilla chips and two homemade salsas -- a mild green and a spicy red, both were spectacular! Only complaint is that the tortilla was a little greasy, and next time I'll ask for my hashbrowns crispy. Great value for ~$15! read more

I should have known something was wrong when the food was over salted. I got food poisoning and it was bad.

Food was mid at best BUT more importantly, I was distracted by the mere fact that I only sat there for 20 minutes and saw not one but TWO cockroaches. Saw one crawl by the water station by the register and one directly on the wall right next to my pozole. Not impressed read more

Excellent burritos and delicious guacamole. The staff was very nice and gave me extra chips!

We honestly just came here to use the bathroom. My bf decide to get a Carne Asada taco since you have to buy something in order to use the restroom. The taco was very dry and the red salsa had no flavor. 2 stars because the service there was fine. I don't see myself going there to eat. Maybe just using their restroom. read more

1. Delivery instructions not followed: no doorbell ring when food arrived, so our hot food sat on our front steps until it showed up on our security camera.By the time I brought the food inside, the hot food was cold; 2. I ordered a vegetarian burrito, but the burrito had something in it that was not beans, rice or cheese; it was something grainy like a meat product; I had to throw it out. 3. My husband's entree (Prawn Burrito) was also sub-standard; hardly any prawns. We won't order from this restaurant in the future; there's too many other GH Mexican restaurants that are consistently good. read more

I've been hearing tons about birria tacos, so I decided to get my DoorDash on and try out El Capitan Grande. The plate comes with two ribeye tacos with a side of consommé. The tacos come with cheese, onion, and cilantro. I kind of wish there was more cilantro... I think next time I'll add some more on my own. They held up pretty well in delivery. The top taco was absolutely perfect -- rich, tender meat, nicely rounded off with the other toppings. By the time I had the other one, it had lost some structural integrity... but I mean, I'm dipping the taco anyway, so who cares! The consommé was also incredible; I dipped some bread into it, but honestly I think I could've just drank it straight. Easily five stars, and I can't wait to have these fresh and in-person. (Or maybe I can... eating it was a messy ordeal, so maybe it's best enjoyed in the privacy of my home!) read more
