The best taco tuesday I've found in the city! $2 al pastor tacos all day is a great deal, especially for San Francisco. The tacos themselves were solid-- huge portions of meat on single tortillas (great meat to tortilla ratio). Their salsa/sauce is hot and delicious. I do wish it had more of the other toppings like onions, cilantro, and pineapple, but for $2, I'm not complaining. Service was a bit slow but Mosto did get crowded, so just expect a rush around dinner time. Definitely will be going back, though!! read more

Mosto - Taco Al Pastor - Cocktail Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

My company held a mezcal tasting/networking event at Mosto. The service and the quality of mezcal were INCREDIBLE! Our bartender, Javier, could not have been more attentive, knowledgeable, and warm. He hand-curated the mezcal selection, gave an explanation for each pour, and pivoted according to our palettes. The most seasoned mezcal drinker in the group said it was the best mezcal tasting he had EVER been to. The folks at the networking event just hung out after the fact because they felt so comfortable in the cozy space, and everyone said they wanted to come back and try more things. A++. Cannot recommend Mosto & the mezcal tastings enough. read more

Yummy burger, kinda cramped tho...friend ordered Jalisco twisted tea and it was lovely.

We loved this cozy bar. They had excellent margaritas and a small food menu. The al pastor was so juicy and delicious. We also loved the fries as an appetizer. We had a great time and the service was super friendly read more

Went on a slow Sunday afternoon. Usually the place is bustling, it was more quiet then. Space is small and the smoke of the al pastor is overwhelming. Definitely need better ventilation. We got burgers and three taco deal. Both were tasty, $10 each. Given SF prices, it may sound like a good deal but the food was tiny. So tiny that we had to get a burrito afterwards from somewhere else. Both were tasty but simple and made us longing for more. And don't forget the laundry needed to get risk of the al pastor smell. read more

My boyfriend and I were in the area and stopped by for drinks. I was excited to find a tequila/mezcal bar. The bartender was very nice and greeted us as soon as we sat down. We opted for the "bartenders special" which was a mezcal drink. It wasn't too smoky and was quite refreshing. I also got the claudio. Honestly such a great Mexican old fashioned drink. It was perfect! I will definitely be coming back just for that drink. We also got some chips and guacamole to snack on. The guacamole was very fresh and tasty. It was a great first impression of this place and we will be back! read more

This was an unexpected find but a solid one. I think the happy hour is a pretty good deal and while the food menu is small, they have a good amount of drink options including a couple non-alcoholic cocktails/mocktails. Menu is small - a couple of tacos (al pastor and cactus), a quesadilla and torta that both also have the al pastor, a burger, and a few snacks. Probably not the most vegan friendly (though I assume they'd make things without cheese if you wanted) but there are some veggie option in the cactus and the empanada. I enjoyed the filling of the al pastor taco and the salsa, pineapple, and roasted perfect were a great combination. Normally they are $4 a piece but for happy hour you can get 3 for $10.50. I personally didn't care for the tortilla but the filling was solid so I just ate that but it was fine (more a preference on not loving corn tortillas in general). Taco Tuesday seems a nice deal for $2 tacos during the 5-7 pm happy hour but not sure if they get more busy. This is a solid spot if you're in the neighborhood or want a pretty quick bite. Service was great too. read more

This place.... Wow. The carnitas tacos blew my mind and the horchata milkshake with tequila was so good. I would definitely come back here in a heartbeat. read more

I really like this place. Best Al Pasture tacos I know of. Cool place great vibe. Nice cocktails. Good soundtrack.

The food was really good! My only suggestion is labeling when food had cheese in it. My friend has dietary restrictions and some of the tacos had cheese -- but ultimately not that big of a deal. However the service was excellent. Our waitress was so nice and recommended their special Valentine's Day cocktails (which should be staple on the menu because they were so good) and one of the staff members gave us free shots! I loved the vibe on the patio, it was such a great place! read more

A solid HH spot for taco tuesday and cocktails. I've never been to a bar/restaurant with a taco grill right at the bar! It was really fun to watch them putting in taco orders while making libations. This spot is VERY busy, they have indoor and outdoor seating and trust me, almost always the tables are filled. Service is definitely on the slower side here, but totally understandable because of how packed this spot gets. Their tacos are small but VERY good and tons of flavors. I would also recommend getting their guac and chips...AMAZING and they give A LOT of guac. read more

Mosto - Cocktail Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

I'm usually fine paying a lot of money for good food or ambiance but Mosto is not one of those places. We came here for a light dinner and was craving Al pastor tacos. So between two ppl we thought three Al pastor tacos, shrimp cocktail and a beer should probably be enough. The tacos were $5.50 a piece so i just assumed they were gonna be normal sized. But to my dismay when the "tray" of tacos came, my jaw dropped when i saw three teacup miniature sized tacos that look like they came out of those miniature food cooking videos on Instagram/tiktok. I actually thought our server was playing a joke on us bc this wouldn't even be enough to feed a small toddler. See the photo below, one taco was only slightly bigger in diameter than a saltine cracker. at this point I'm thinking, these tacos must be the best Al pastor tacos outside of Mexico seeing as how i am paying $16.50 for three bites. But again not the case. They were just okay and I was left wishing I went to chipotle or even Taco Bell instead. Also to add... at this price point I would much prefer Tacko or Nicks crispy tacos, which to be honest are more delicious and also better value. The shrimp cocktail was not bad but for $13.50 I expected it to at least come with some chips or crackers placed on a dish instead of a few packaged saltines. The service was good (hence I gave them 2 stars otherwise it'd be 1) but I wish they had warned me abt the size of the tacos. I will def not be coming back here as the standout item at Mosto was the saltines and I can get those at Walgreens for $3. read more

I don't know how I forgot about this place, (but I guess I haven't been to the Mission since COVID) and freaked out when I realized what if they already closed?? After one quick search on Yelp and I'm just so glad to see they're still around. I used to come here every Tuesday for Happy Hour-- and after all these years, I'm still in love with this place. It's a pretty small and dim space but one thing I love is their unique ceiling design! Service is fast and efficient as well. But ofc, I LOVE their Al Pastor tacos so much! The portions are so generous, holds so much flavor, and the sauce is just cherry on top! Will continue to recommend and support this business! Imo, it's so much better than the taco place right next door to it. Hehe read more

Went here to celebrate my birthday with a friend and the food was a hit, as always! My friend and I really enjoyed the "hamburguesa" the most when we originally went for the tacos + gringa. The ambiance as always is super chill and perfect vibe. The server (forgot to ask for his name) provided us with amazing service throughout our time there. Definitely stopping by every time I'm in SF! read more

As someone from San Diego, I'm usually picky about Mexican food in San Francisco, but the Al Pastor tacos here are absolutely outstanding! They're packed with flavor, and I don't even mind paying full price for them. The Gringa Al Pastor is also a must-try--equally delicious and perfectly balanced. Definitely worth a visit! read more

Fantastic happy hour spot, especially on a Tuesday. Delicious margaritas and even better al pastor tacos.

Service is friendly and efficient. read more

Mosto - Taco Al Pastor - Cocktail Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

This is a solid Taco Tuesday spot! Al pastor tacos are $2 each every Tuesday 5-7pm. The al pastor here is super flavorful, tender, and juicy. I wasn't even planning on getting too many tacos, but I easily ended up eating seven tacos. The happy hour margaritas are decent, although not too memorable or highly exceptional. Each table also gets some complimentary fried chickpeas, which the server refilled for us automatically once we were running low. One thing I wish I had known earlier was how clubby the vibe here was. I came here to catch up with some friends, and we found it a bit difficult to hear each other over the loud music that was blasting. So don't come here expecting a chill, low-key ambiance, and you'll be just fine! All in all though, we still had a great time and devoured way too many tacos. read more

Came to Mosto on a Sunday evening after a mezcal tasting event, as they were having a "post-event after party" with discounted drinks and cocktails. It was super packed so we grabbed seating outside near some heating lamps. We grabbed a few mezcal shots, which came with spiced orange slices, as well as the tacos for our group. We also grabbed hamburgers (which came with chips) and quesadilla (came in two a plate). For the taco and quesadilla plates, it came with their house spicy sauce which was delicious. I enjoyed my first trip here at Mosto and will definitely want to come back for good mezcal and mexican food! read more

It's complicated - we come here weekly (yay) but the service is not great (ie we're one of three tables right now. We ordered a michelada, and the staff is just cleaning...no one's making and it's been 30min. No other orders have gone in for other tables). Service is incredibly slow given no one's here. However, the al pastor tacos on taco Tuesday are great and only $2 each. So we come here weekly, get annoyed, and then eat. The tacos are great in our opinion, but the service...I used to be server and I guess my standards are different... Go in with caution and a lot of patience... read more

This place is my go to in the area, the food is good and the mezcal options are even better! Get the tacos :)!

Dropped by after work for Tuesday $2 tacos at 5 pm and the bar area filled up pretty quickly. We ordered the bartender special for $12 and 6 tacos each. The drink was strong and very good 8/10. The al pastor was very flavorful, tender and a bit crispy along with the spicy sauce made it extra good 8/10. Service was 10/10. Bartender was super attentive. The bar area is small, clean and cozy. Great place to hangout with friends or colleagues after work. read more

You have to make time in your schedule for happy hour at Mosto! Visited twice s both on Mondays at 6 o'clock and found seating immediately and their simple happy hour menu makes the choice easy! It's easy to chat across the table or meet people at the bar. Also would be a cute spot for an intimate birthday party or a first-drink-of-the-night spot for a date. The space itself is pretty small (5ish tables and bar seating by the window). The bathroom is inside tacolicious btw! read more

Great tequila mezcal bar on Valencia. It's right next to tacolicious so you also see they cutting up the meat for tacos as you are ordering your drinks. FERRO'S LIL DEVIL was super smokey and strong if you're craving that for a drink. It wasn't my favorite but others in the group seemed to enjoy it. If you want something a little lighter I would recommend the SUMMER OF '93. The indoors space is pretty tiny and on the darker side so if you want a different vibe you can sit at one of their outdoor tables. I didn't get any additional tacos this time around but if you're coming here for dinner definitely try a couple to pair with their various cocktails. They also serve beer, wine, and non-alcoholic as well if you're not craving one of their cocktails. read more

Mosto is first come first serve. Great spot for a group hang out. It can get busy so come early to score a table. I went to al pastor heaven and died because their Al pastor is so freaking FIRE. I ordered 2 and ended up ordering 3 more because it was that tasty! My only mistake was not making it to Mosto for happy hour! read more

Mosto - Taco Al Pastor - Cocktail Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

I'm guessing they use tacolicious ingredients, cause my receipt itself said tacolicious. The taco was actually pretty good! The tortilla had plenty of corn oil flavor and the pastor actually stood out. Way smaller and less meat than a usual street taco I get, but overall it actually tastes good. They have a much wider selection of mezcal compared to most places. I like that they list out the tasting notes of every item. While I thought they would have a more rare or esoteric section, they do have a generous array of mezcal profiles. They do play the sound louder than I like. I wish they would lean in more to a cozy atmosphere rather than a nightclub/dive bar, but perhaps thats just me. read more

My friends and I went here for some late night food and drinks. Overall we had a great time and enjoyed it very much. Much of the food is done tapa style, you order a bunch of small plates and order some drinks to enjoy with them. For vegetarians they do offer cactus filling in their tacos. I thought the tacos were well made albeit a little pricey (but hey you're in a chic bar in the Mission so what do you expect?). The drinks were also well done and quite tasty. read more

Call me a late bloomer but I recently discovered tequila. So when Mosto came out of hibernation due to the pandemic, my friend knew of my love for tequila and suggested we make a visit. My punctual self got here early per usual, why? To score us a table, ayyyyy! You're welcome. Complimentary fried chick peas - so good! I think I had like 3 plates of these Hamburguesa - my friend raved about the sammies here but since they no longer make them, I ordered the hamburguesa. Pleasantly surprised this was perfectly cooked and had good flavor. The housemade chips were very thin and lightly seasoned which were nice Mosto Margarita - refreshing, light on the tequila though Summer of 93 - refreshing, also light on the tequila Overall, food was good, drinks were light-- could've used more tequila, and service was awesome. read more

Tacos are worth the time spent looking for parking. The guac delish the service was great. read more

dive bar feel with a spit and a grill that serves up TINY, but delicious al pastor tacos. at nearly $5 for each tiny taco, I only find this place worth it on taco tuesday's or during happy hour (weekdays 5-7). Now, they make a mean margarita which are perfectly fresh and balanced, don't be surprised if you end up getting more rounds than you expected- they are that good. I appreciate the roasted chickpea and pepitas that they happily deliver over once you're seated and the service is great. Great date night spot- especially since I never get phone service in there! read more

Uh huh! Best place for taco Tuesday! Although, I don't even get the tacos! I don't know why I just like coming here on Tuesdays, though...just in case I do want a taco deal! At any rate, it is dark in here with good Mexican style music, and outside seating, and the bar and the serving staff are on their game! The Gringa Al Pastor (quesadilla w pineapple too!) just really melts in my mouth! I add that special salsa to it, and I am in a happy food coma! I end up getting a Michelada (after I've already had their house Margarita) to wash it down... But wait... My friend wants to split the hamburguesa, so we tried that last night as well! As we sat at the bar and watched Jose, toast/grill, that bun, while grilling the cheese with some of the spices... and we watched him grill the cheese with nopales (cactus) in it (for the vegetarian burritos) and sometimes even with the pineapple... We just felt like we were in a five star establishment with front row seats in the kitchen! I just love the vibe here. It just feels like I'm in a club with amazing food and music and cocktails all on a Tuesday night! I don't go to anywhere else on taco Tuesdays... And, like I said, I don't even get tacos! Haha Props to this place here. Edwards, the bartender, always make sure our drinks are made well, as well. We were very pleased with the service here, and I've become a regular over the last six months to a year now, (lost count!), but it's a deffo go to, even though it's on the other side of town for me! read more

I really enjoyed getting some drinks and a bite to eat at Mosto! I think they were selling Tacolicious food as well, a little confused whether we were eating at Mosto or Tacolicious. We got the strawberry margarita pitcher and my friend also got the Papi Hemmingway (with mezcal). Both were good and pretty strong. The pitcher was enough for 3-4 people, which I'd definitely recommend you get. The food we got was alright. We got the MFC tacos (appetizer), a fried avocado taco, and the asparagus potato taco. The MFC tacos were okay, a 3/5 but the other two solo tacos were good. Unique vegetarian options that had good flavor. I'd recommend this place for some drinks out on Valencia! read more

What a fun spot for Taco Tuesday! They offer dollar tacos every Tuesday from 5 to 7, as well as happy hour drinks and bites daily from 5 to 7. Happy hour / Taco Tuesday is offered throughout the whole space and not just at the bar. I came on a Tuesday around 5:45 pm and was able to snag the last open table all the way in the back for my group of 3. For HH drink specials, they offer $7 margaritas and palomas as well as a couple of beers and a beer + tequila cocktail. There are two choices for the dollar tacos: taco el califa (nopales, queso qaxaca) and taco al pastor (spit-roasted pork, pineapple, onion). I had both the margarita and paloma as well as a couple of the al pastor tacos. Both drinks were pretty good and a great deal at $7. Tacos were small, as you can probably imagine, but tasty. The meat was a little hard but flavorful. You can see the spit-roasted pork at the front of the bar right as you walk in. Bathrooms are shared with Tacolicious which is right next door. read more

I recently started online dating again and needed to find a casual, no pressure bar spot to meet my Bumble Date. My date wanted to meet in the Mission District, and Mosto immediately came to mind! It's in walking distance to BART and two Muni bus lines, so travel was very easy. Mosto has a great selection of affordable drinks, including local beer, wine, and cocktails. Although I've had their amazing cocktails, including the very delicious Paloma (with mezcal), that particular night I got a pint of the Henhouse pale ale and then a pinto of Modelo Especial. I also love the food and had to get the al pastor tacos--a Mosto must and never disappoints. With dark walls and candlelight, the space feels intimate. The music and bustle of people (many friend groups and other people on dates) liven the bar. This place is hip without being pretentious, and I often come here by myself just to eat tacos and drink beer. Happy Hour is everyday from 5-7PM. You'll thank me later. read more

The green eyed guy that worked today during happy hour (Blaine I think is his name) has been the only welcoming and nice guy working at this place. He was busy but he was paying attention to the customers the whole time. Even trying to speak Spanish for latino customers. I love the food at this place but honestly the service is terrible. As a part of the LGBT+ Community never feel welcomed when I come to this place because of the attitude of the servers except for the one that I just mentioned. I don't like to complain but I think that the entire staff should learn about service from this server/bartender that I mentioned. I'm leaving a 1 star review so you can pay attention to this review but definitely 5 starts to this guy for his excellent service. read more
