I ordered Al Pastor Tacos & Costillas Everything was decent but the prices are pretty steep. I would definitely come here and take advantage of their happy hour next time. Unfortunately, you can't choose different proteins for your tacos so you could at least try different ones unless it's happy hour. The order comes in a set of three per protein. Al Pastor Tacos 3.8/5 The pineapple on it is delicious and sweet but because there's less protein or maybe a lack of flavor the pineapple flavor took over. The tortilla is lovely. I wished they had stacked the tacos more because of the pricing. Salsa is also good. Costillas 3.8/5 The sauce is sweet and nice with the touch of guava. The ribs do fall apart and are tender but because it is fried the outside layer can be really tough and unpleasant. The slaw was a nice side to help manage the heaviness. Service 4/5 Staff is very friendly and straight to the point with my order. Just fyi they do add a 6% service fee to the bill and it's on the bottom of the menu page in case you missed it. Ambience It's a pretty dope spot with the decoration and the island vibe to it. Love the reggae playlist they had on. I would honestly love to come and have drinks here if I'm bar hopping in the area.
A huge group of us dropped into Sunset Cantina on a Monday afternoon after hiking Land's End. It was otherwise not that busy, so service was prompt and efficient. We needed to put up one of the shades outside (in the boat-shaped seating area, which was very cute) and one of the servers very nicely helped us out with that. I split the ribs with a friend and while I was a little wary of ordering ribs at a Mexican restaurant, my fears were greatly assuaged when I first bit into them. They were tender and smoky, as if they were steamed first and then finished off on the grill. The meat fell off the bone and the flavors were a good balance of sweet, salt and spice. I also got to try a little bit of the watermelon salad, which was ripe, nice and refreshing. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their food too - I was too distracted by the ribs and the good company to ask. The Muni does run directly behind the outdoor seating, so it can be a little loud at times, but it's otherwise in a very quiet neighborhood.
I've passed this spot during the daytime before, but at night it's lively and full of energy. We stopped by for some tacos and they were great. The corn tortillas were soft and fresh, there was a good amount of juicy chicken. There was a nice little char on the chicken. We really enjoyed the salsa and crema as well as the pickled onions. A lot of flavors, but well balanced. We ordered at the takeout window and enjoyed the outdoor seating. Food came fast!
We have visited twice and have enjoyed every meal. From the tacos, to the ramen, to the fries, salad, and churros , everything was yummy. Staff is friendly, service is efficient, and be aware that this restaurant has a casual vibe that gets busy. A definite must visit.
MAN for a nice little hole in the wall type spot do they have a good amount of mezcal and delicious food options! I enjoyed this place because it was only 10 min or so from the SF zoo and it had exactly what I was looking for in Mexican food For appetizers I got the carnitas flautas, which is basically deep fried carnitas rolled in a nice fluffy type tortilla with the perfect crunch topped with pico de gallo lettuce sour cream and cheese. The perfect combination I really enjoyed these i can eat helllaaaaa of these A plain street dog with a side of fries and a very good spicy ketchup again highly recommend that if your into that Shrimp tacos perfectly battered and well seasoned with all the toppings bringing everything together And a Torta de carne asada I really enjoyed these asada it had a nice Smokey flavor too it and perfectly cooked with a fireee a** taste. This was the perfect portion size of food not too heavy and not too light just perfect again with a side of fries. I also tried the michelada. Nothing crazy just alright ..BUT the pineapple Chelada was hellaaaa good I'd recommend that for sure And a Paloma that was again alright nothing crazy but okay. They have a wide variety of mezcal that they get from Mexico. Personally .. I would come back once in a while not an every weekend/other weekend type place, in my opinion it was on the pricey side I paid around 150 and that's fine but my waiter did check in on me at the beginning and one more time after that and that was it. it did get busy while I was eating but even then i don't know about that 6% service fee .. Definitely a place to check out regardless ! 8/10
Came here during their happy hour where some items were $3 each. The place felt like a cantina in Mexico. Ordered a few tacos and agua frescas. Service was fast, we received our order under 10 minutes. Everything was filling, the drinks were refreshing. Upon reviewing my bill, I noticed an additional 6% upcharge for Employee Benefits, which I don't think was right to pass it on to us customers, on top of tipping them. It may be a small charge, but I don't like being blindsided by additional costs.
What a surprise! I honestly didn't realize this place was here, everyone talks about the pizza place or the sushi place. We ordered take out since the kids weren't feeling well. The machete - which was like a quesadilla was delicioussss, loaded and full of flavor, we got it with shrimp. very tasty. al pastor tacos - small, but done right! juicy, tasty, the pineapples were yummy. crunchy tacos - fancy taco bell but also yummy with their spicy sauce! hamberguesa - this was okay. a little dry compared to everything else. queso fundido - probably would have been tastier with just chips, but my husband got the chicharrones. overall we think the highlights were worth getting again and maybe even better than our local spot that's closer! will definitely be back again.
Loved Sunset Cantina!! The tacos were just amazing and I've never had tacos like this before. A lot of the times the veggie tacos are just boring but not at Sunset Cantina!! I've always wanted to try birria but as a vegetarian, I've never got to. The mushroom birria tacos were just amazing! But personally, the star of the show was the avocado tacos!! They were perfectly crispy and jam packed with flavor. Would come all the way to sunset just for these tacos!!
First time here. We were looking for a place to eat near Lands End and Yelp lead us here. We walked in and we were seated immediately, no wait thankfully. Inside is decorated nicely and there is a lot of seating as well as outdoor seating and a full bar that also has seating at the bar. There is a HUGE TV playing sports, no volume. Nice full bar with a variety of tequilas and other liquor Employees are courteous and nice. We started off with Chips, Salsa and Guacamole $14 Salsa is good, nice flavor, chips are good also nice and crispy I ordered a Margarita $12 Drink was good Friend got a ginger beer $4 Friend ordered Baja Shrimp tacos $16.00 He said he really liked the tacos, said the fish was nicely battered and fried I got the quesabirria tacos $16 The quesabirria tacos were mediocre, meat had no flavor and the consome was the same no flavor so I added the salsa from the chips on my tacos lol Over all this was a cool spot to have lunch at Ambiance is nice, location is near Ocean Beach and Lands End Street parking only. We parked in a residential area and walked to the restaurant
I have never had such beautiful Mexican food that tasted so bad. The vibes were perfect. The World Series on every screen, Cinco de Mayo decorations everywhere, even a guy setting tacos on fire and handing them out like some kind of showpiece. None of it ever made it to our table. And the plates looked incredible, which almost made it worse. It was painfully disappointing. All presentation, zero flavor.
The food here was amazing. We ordered: Salsa and guacamole which was so fresh Queso that was sizzling hot and delicious Pork ribs that were so tender and juicy Steak quesadilla, torta and tacos, steak was cooked perfectly Our party order fried fish, carnita tacos and shrimp taco and all said was amazing Definitely recommend. Nice back patio seating as well however service could have definitely been better. If it were on par with the food, I would have given this place five stars.
Great food, great vibes. Sunset Cantina is so festive once you step inside with decorations all over and glittering Christmas lights in the bathroom hallway. The servers were attentive and ours checked up on us every so often to get our orders or bring us extra napkins. Al pastor tacos were our favorite, the perfect bite to start off the meal. Quesabirria tacos were large and filling and the Baja shrimp tacos were perfectly battered and tangy. The sauce provided on the side was a bit spicy so we opted to not use it. I was stuffed at the end of the night and definitely will come back to try other items on the menu! Right along Judah so parking can be a bit harder to find but great neighborhood to take a stroll after to walk off the food!
Food was excellent. Highly recommend. Their Quesa birria tacos (sauce) needed a bit more flavor, but everything was great.

First time at Sunset Cantina. We arrived right around opening at 11am, walked in and there was no one in the restaurant which was nice. We had our one year with us and the waitress was super kind and welcoming when we walked in. What we ordered: Surf Trip Salad: I wanted something light for lunch so I ordered this salad. Instead of chicken, I actually got steak and it was delicious! So much flavor and lots of toppings from avocado, bacon, red onions, corn etc. The downside was most of my avocados that was on my plate was unfortunately bruised. Overall still delicious. Hamburguesa: My husband ordered this burger and he fairly enjoyed it and I had a bite of it as well. The habanero mayo sauce was super flavorful and it went well with the burger. Cheese quesadilla: We had a small portion made for our daughter for this. It was actually pretty big size. Super simple cheese and quesadilla. I wish we added protein on this but we forgot and that's okay. Churros: We just wanted to try this out as a dessert. It was okay, nothing out of the ordinary. I wish there was more sauces other than maple syrup & whip cream. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and service was great. read more

Hey I’m so glad you enjoyed your time at Cantina. Next time you’re in…
Taco Tuesday deal is $2 off their platter sets. Relaxed interior and manageable menu to decide on. - chips with guac and salsa: small guac portion and chips are tiny bit stale - carne asada tacos: meat was tender enough but flavor was a bit off. Needed a salsa of sorts read more

Came to Sunset Cantina after a long day in Ocean Beach. We started with chips and guacamole. The dips were tasty, but unfortunately, the chips were a bit stale. For our mains, I wasn't too impressed overall. The food didn't strike me as very authentic and leaned on the salty side. My family member had the crispy carnitas tacos, which came as three street-style tacos. The carnitas were indeed crispy, but the flavor felt off. My partner ordered the avocado tacos and really enjoyed them--three tacos with fried avocado slices and plenty of pickled onions. I went with the pozole, which came out piping hot and in a generous portion, but I wasn't thrilled with the taste. It had too much cumin and salt for my liking, and reminded me more of a thin chili than pozole. If you're looking for a casual spot with a less traditional take on Mexican food, you might enjoy it here, but for authentic flavors, I'd probably look elsewhere. The service was great and friendly. read more

Appreciate the love! Hope to see you again soon.
Wow , you MUST come by here for their tacos . The flavor combination wrapped inside their house made day-of tacos will blow your idea of what a taco can be into a whole new dimension. We started with their queso fundido, which is thick white cheese topped with chorizo and bits of other yumminess and legit corn chips. Next came the kale and squash winter salad, with the kale chopped fine, mixed with a thick dressing and avocado chunks (amazing). The mouth feel and flavor of this salad lit me up. I hear their margaritas are freaking delicious too. And what tops it all off is the ambiance, rated -- come and check it out, bring a friend or your crew and get ready to enjoy. Oh and Kayla our server was helpful and awesome, checking in on us and keeping our waters full the whole time. read more

My partner and I loved this spot so much that we had to come back. Sunset Cantina is one of the restaurants that make traveling from the East Bay to SF worth it. This place has a dog-friendly, first come first serve patio and we were able to grab seats right away. I think we got lucky because shortly after there were a couple groups of people that had to wait for a patio spot. Unfortunately, we were sat at one of the tables that were not under shade and we found ourselves being blasted by the hot, scorching sun.. not very enjoyable but that did not take away from the deliciousness of the drinks and food. On the topic of drinks, I ordered their horchata fresa (it was an alcoholic drink made with rum) and WOW IT'S SO GOOD. So light and refreshing for a warm SF day! & of course, the food! No other words besides perfect. read more

I'm getting a little crazy with the review updates for Sunset Cantina but I am doing one more to bump them up to five stars. Not only has the waitstaff been exceedingly friendly each visit, but they have even memorized my high-maintenance order of the kale salad without bacon and avocado and with extra squash and cotija. These modifications make it one of my favorite dishes in the city and a vegetarian's dream. They are so welcoming and accommodating and we are so happy that it's a new regular in our rotation. read more

4.5 stars rounded up. If you're looking for me, you'll most likely find me at Sunset Cantina! We've been here a handful of times in just as many months. The big draw -- their flavored micheladas. One visit it was POG (the Hawaiian flavor combo Pineapple Orange Guava), another time, the special was Watermelon. And although we don't usually do Jell-O shots anymore, we find it difficult to turn down Passionfruit Jell-O shots here. The food offerings aren't five stars like their drink options, nor is it traditional Mexican fare, but there are some winners. Baja Shrimp Tacos have large, firm shrimp with a tasty, light batter. Carnitas Flautas are a hearty appetizer, perfect for sharing. Summer Melon Salad sprinkles an addictive tajin (& what appears to be chamoy?) sauce over watermelon, queso fresco, & cucumbers. On our wouldn't order again list are their Street Dog & Surf Trip Salad. As for tacos, best to come during Happy Hour, M-F from 3-5pm, when they're a fraction of the regular price & can be ordered individually. Good music. Lively atmosphere, especially on the back patio. Easy-going servers. Sunset Cantina is loads of fun. Be prepared to circle the block for parking in this mostly residential neighborhood. read more

Went to Sunset Cantina over the holiday break and I was pleasantly surprised! We had a craving for Mexican so someone in the fam found this place on TikTok or IG. I used to live 3 blocks from this place, so it is in a familiar, very quiet residential neighborhood in the Sunset. Not expecting much, we ordered the queso fundido (chips with Oaxacan cheese / white cheddar), costillas (guava glazed dry fried ribs), birria tacos, machete (giant quesadilla with jack cheese, poblanos and chicken). By far, the costillas were THE BOMB! The meat was tender, fell off the bone and the sweet guava glaze was addicting! I would come back here and just order 5 plates of the costillas and some beer, ALL FOR MYSELF! They were that good and outclasses the ribs I've had at a number of BBQ joints in the Bay Area. The queso fundido was also good and a nice compliment to the ribs as an appetizer. Nice cheese pull with crispy chips. The birria tacos are what you would expect from a good Mexican place. Tender, well seasoned beef wrapped in a cripsy taco shell, with a tangy birria dip. The machete was basically a huge quesadilla. It was good, but not a stand out like the ribs, queso and birria tacos. I would come back for those three things for sure. Glad we found this place and will definitely be on our go to list for Mexican. But those ribs, boy, still thinking about them now . . . read more

Wow wow wow - sunset cantina was seriously amazing, I'm dreaming about this food still. We were in search for tacos since it was the early evening and didn't want anything heavy. We shared the mushroom quesabirria, love that this is a veg option!! And the fried avocado tacos. Both were absolutely amazing, so so delicious bursting with flavors and perfectly filling. Service was amazing, staff are so sweet and friendly and food was brought in good time! The vibe is a good mix of lively and chill, honestly just the perfect in between. There is seating both inside and outside. I am SO coming back! read more

Thank you so much for kind words Noopur!…
Wow I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of these tacos!! We came on a Saturday afternoon on a warm day in sf and it was absolutely packed. People were ordering drinks and didn't even have a place to put them because there were no tables. It did take quite a while to get our order (~40 min), but at least the tacos were super flavorful and juicy! These were super satisfying and everything you want in a taco. I'm taking off a point for the price and wait times, but would come back! read more

Honestly, at this point, I'm going to need to make a list. A list of all of the awesome eateries and restaurants that have sprouted up in the Outer Sunset that serve as reasons why my friends and I should spend more time out this way! Not that the area was devoid of appealing options before, but it feels like over the years, the number of exciting eateries that have sprouted up out here has gone from just a handful that I could recite from the top of my head to a growing count that I can't keep track of! The first time I came here, I was immediately digging Sunset Cantina's vibes as soon as we started to settle into our seats. The colorful decor, the surf themed elements, the laid back vibes...they all felt very fitting for the Outer Sunset. As for the menu, it may not seem super extensive, but it's got a wide variety of Mexican street food to choose from, ranging from your typical tacos (including quesabirria!), enchiladas, and platters to treats like elote, aguachiles, and tortas! Plus, they've got a great looking brunch menu and an enticing list of aguas fresca, cocktails, and margaritas, too! -- PINEAPPLE AGUA FRESCAS...$6 While I wish the taste of the pineapple had been stronger (I LOVE pineapples), this was pretty good nonetheless. Not only did it just go well with the food, but it was super refreshing and not overly sweet either! -- CARNITAS FLAUTAS - Flour Tortilla, Carnitas, Corn, Jack Cheese, Poblanos, Cilantro-Lime Slaw, Chipotle & Avocado Crema, Cotija...$17 I love me some tasty flautas and boy were these were some tasty flautas! Each roll was fried up nicely (not at all oily) and so filling. The carnitas were so moist and I loved how well the taste of the corn, cremas, poblanos, and cheese mixed together. -- CHIPS, SALSA, AND GUAC - Housemade Chips, Fire Roasted Tomato Salsa, Signature Guacamole...$14 Simple but terrific! The salsa had just a bit of heat with a nice, roasted flavor, the guacamole was luscious and delicious, and the chips had the Goldilocks texture - neither thick nor thin with just the right amount of crunch. -- CANTINA HOT WINGS - Cantina's Golden Habanero Wing Sauce, Carrots, Celery, Ranch...$16 These are similar to buffalo wings, which I don't usually go for, but these were great! I liked that the wings had a slight crispiness to them and that the wings weren't slathered in sauce. -- BAJA SHRIMP TACOS - Beer Battered Shrimp, Avocado & Chipotle Crema, Pickled Onions, Shredded Cabbage...$16 We were pretty bummed we didn't see fish tacos on the menu, but, thankfully, this was a fine alternative. The pieces of shrimp was surprisingly big, the batter wasn't very thick, and I liked how well the cremas complemented everything. -- CRUNCHY TACOS (3) - Grass-fed Ground Beef, Shredded Lettuce, Onions, Radish, and Cilantro in a Crispy Tortilla Shell...$15 Ehh...not bad, but nothing special. While my friend didn't care for how airy the shells were, my bigger issue was with how it felt like they could've been filled more. A real shame too, as I thought the taste of these was pretty decent. -- QUESABIRRIA (2) - Braised Beef, Oaxaca Cheese, Pickled Onions, Cilantro, Consome...$16 This was so good! Unlike the crunchy tacos, these felt like they were so packed and I loved how crispy the shells were. The beef, cheese, and onions worked so well together, you don't need the consome (though, it adds a ton of flavor, too). -- CRISPY CARNITAS - Crispy Braised Pork, Onions, Cilantro, Salsa Verde, Pickled Onions...$14 Kind of standard, but not too shabby. Each taco had a fair amount of carnitas, which were cooked well (crusty edges yet not dry) and well seasoned. I kind of wonder if we should've gone with Al Pastor instead, if only for something more unique. -- ELOTE - Street-style Grilled Corn, Cotija, Lime, Garlic-Chili Aioli...$12 Sadly, one of the dishes I was most excited for was just okay. The corn itself was sweet and fresh with a decent char, but I wish it had more of the aioli on it (felt more like seasoned, grilled corn). On the whole, just about everything we had was great and service across each of my visits was fine (nothing specifically great, but efficient and friendly). That being said, some dishes didn't feel quite as worth it as others did. Despite how they're more expensive, I'd rather pay the few extra bucks for their quesabirria and flautas over the carnitas and crunchy tacos. Clearly, not because I thought the latter were bad; I just thought the former were far more impressive. Crazy enough, even though I've tried a bunch of things here, there are still a number of dishes I want to try. In particular, I definitely want to come back to check out their brunch menu (it's no longer offered on Fridays), but even some of their other option on their lunch/dinner menu, too. I guess we'll just have to start spending more time out this way! read more
