    **CASH OR VENMO ONLY** Eltacotento is a hole-in-the-wall located on the busy street of El Camino Real in SSF. I randomly found them on a rainy night when my go-to taco truck was closed. They're located inside JoAnn's Cafe w/ a little pop up window in the front. Cash or venmo only, no card. Service is very friendly and they have their own sauce bar. The sauce cups are located on a tiny standing table by the front door in some red cups, and not very visible. I ordered 5 tacos and it was very fulfilling. I got 2 carne asada and 3 carnitas. My favorite is the carnitas, as I found the carne too well-done for me. Next time I'd love to try the al pastor! They also have quesadillas, taco queso, pazole, and tortas.

    Los tacos mas chingones del Norte de California (the best tacos in Northern California, at least). Having eaten at a few great taco operations in LA, some of which double as a restaurant out of some other business, I found this place that similarly turns into a taco shop out of Jo Ann's Cafe at night between 5:30-12:00, Thursdays to Sundays. I'd say what's more impressive than those places is 1) this is a 3-4 person institution and 2) that I showed up right at closing and still got tacos that exceeded my expectations even at opening in terms of meat quality, seasoning/grill flavor, price to portion. Check this place out, perfect for late night cravings.

    Quesadilla Carne Asada fire

    I was looking for something to eat past 9 PM on Sunday found this place on yelp. I ordered two tacos, Asada and one queso taco Asada. Wow the meat was tender and good flavor! Coming from someone that knows good taco places in LA. This is one of the best places I've had. My gf ordered quesadilla de Asada I took a bite and we both loved it. The salsa bar is very good. I recommend the green Santa the red one was OK and definitely the guacamole green salsa is on the tacos. We're only visiting so we will be coming back before we leave for round two that good five stars

    food is very delicious, and tasty. Cecina Taco Queso is my favorite, the brisket, and the chicken are my usual orders.(my wife loves their regular chicken tacos, and the Lengua. the staff are friendly.

    Tacoqueso de pastor  mouth watering  10000/10 late night spot!

    Tacoqueso al pastor is my fav every time I come. But everything in the menu hit the spot always mouthwatering tacos! Amazing service all the time

    Al pastor & carne asada with all the fixings

    The best I had in a while!!! Quality meat!! So tender & flavorful!! They were generous with the servings as well. ~$4.50 for taco queso's. I usually have to pay more for regular street taco's at other places so the prices aren't bad at all. Real bang for your buck.

    Big fan of Taqueria Mi Durango II here. The taco salads are awesome. Their 2nd location is a bit…read moresmaller with five tables and toned down decorations. The molcajete (traditional stone grinding bowl) $34.27 is fish, chicken, steak, chorizo, shrimp, bell peppers, green onions, cheese & tortillas. It is meant for two or more people. My attempt to do this solo failed miserably. At least they have to-go boxes. The steak and shrimps have a charred flavor. The inside, with the chicken, fish, shrimp and pork sausage had a smokey bean flavor combined with snap of green onions and bell peppers. I was surprised the heated stoneware didn't dry out the meats. It was perfect. Service was excellent for a pay at the cashier and they bring you the food type of restaurant. You have to ask at the cashier to re-fill your water. The self service salsa bar is a plus. They will give you actual silverware and plate if you ask. Minor nit. The price on the electronic wall menu was $32.95. The price on the cash register is $34.27. I paid in cash. They need to update the wall menu.

    I wanted to like Taqueria Mi Durango II, but it ended up being pretty underwhelming. The burritos…read moreare just okay, nothing terrible, but nothing that really stands out either. What really didn't make sense to me was the pricing. A super burrito with meat is $14.82, but a super veggie burrito is somehow more expensive at $15.55. Charging extra for a vegetarian option without any clear reason feels off and hard to justify. Overall, it's a pass for me. There are better spots nearby with more flavor and better value (La Bonita food truck by Ling Nam) Updating to one star since they forgot to give us chips that we paid nearly $4 for...

There were only a few other patrons, so grabbing a table wasn't difficult. Typical Mexican joint with brightly painted walls and Mexican decor. They have a water dispenser and an open salsa bar for your convenience. You place an order at the cashier and they will serve you the order when it's ready. Food came in about 10 minutes. *** O U R P I C K S *** QUESABIRRIA ~ you get 3 tasty quesabirrias for $18.95. You also get consumé, a side of chopped onions, cilantro, and a few slices of lime. It was good, flavorful, lots of cheese, but kinda pricey. 4/5 WET BURRITO ~ Wet burrito with both red and green sauces for $15.75. Comparable to other taquerias in SSF. But most of those places are a drive away, so that's probably why their prices are higher. And they added lettuce as a filler. And when you don't eat it right away, the lettuce is mushy and wilted. 3.5/5 It's good to try new eateries now and then. This was decent, but I think we'll stick to our usual spots that are tried and true for us.
