Vegan Protein Taco
Dan T.

I ordered 5 "VEGAN chicken al pastor" tacos through DoorDash and unfortunately they were not vegan. At first glance it wasn't obvious, but after taking a bite the texture felt off, grainy and nothing like the usual vegan option. After looking closer, it became clear this was actual chicken. I called the restaurant to double check, and I was told there was "no way" it was chicken and that it was definitely vegan. That didn't sit right with me, so I went in person. As soon as the staff looked at it, they immediately confirmed it was chicken. I was then told it was likely a mix-up by a "new employee." That's honestly concerning. This isn't just a small mistake, serving real meat to someone who ordered vegan is a big deal. I haven't eaten chicken in years, and places that offer both vegan and non-vegan options should be especially careful about this. It also didn't feel like the seriousness of the mistake was fully understood, which made it worse. I do appreciate that they remade the tacos correctly on the spot, but this isn't the first issue I've had here just the most serious one. Because of that, I don't feel comfortable ordering from here again. If you have dietary restrictions, just be cautious. This kind of mix-up shouldn't happen.

Very stale Vegan Super Nachos
Tanya D.

I usually enjoy the food here but lately the quality has gone down. Ordered the vegan super nachos and the tortilla chips were the stalest chips I've ever eaten lol I think I almost broke a tooth. These chips literally taste like chips they had before Christmas, then were closed for Christmas and then served again today. FYI I ordered and ate this right away but the chips (as pictured) are so full of oil and so stale. So disappointing.

Carne Asada tacos
Renee F.

My partner works in SF and raves about this place. He knows tacos are my favorite food so he was excited to have me taste them when we were staying in town for a concert. Talk about delicious late night eats! We had carne asada tacos (as is for me, no onions + cheese for him). I had an asada supreme quesadilla & it was love at first bite. Im a carne asada girl but I'm happy that they have an extensive Vegan menu too. I can add it to the list of places I'll take some of my friends when they're in town. They have multiple beyond meat options, jackfruit, tofu, and gardein chick'n. We door dashed and the prices were super high- I checked their menu online though and it's way cheaper if you go in person. I understand why businesses have to do this so no biggie. Even with delivery- the food quality was good, no soggy tortillas or anything.

Quesadilla Suiza
Noah S.

Came here for a late night snack. The quesadilla was delicious and the servers were so nice! The salsa made the quesadilla taste amazing and there was a good amount of meat inside as well. The inside doesn't have many seats but there is more seating outside. They played great music as well. Thank you taco boys!

Tacos al pastor and carne asada
David C.

The best Tacos Al Pastor and Carne Asada tacos with Avocado in the city! Very affordable, this meal cost me $11. They are quick to make and so delicious. Very worth it! Good service and nice music vibes!

Nacho fries w/ fries on the side. Select chips as a free side option.
Dan E.

Taco Boys in the Castro lives up to its name, the tacos and everything else on the menu are fire. I'm not the biggest fan of their burritos (there are better options nearby), but their nacho fries are my go-to. Pro tip: order online and select fries on the side, then select chips as a side, for the perfect deconstructed nachos and crispy fries combo. Both the red and green salsas are on the mild side. The spot is pretty small inside, so I usually grab my order to go. Staff is always super friendly and welcoming.

Jackfruit taco and Al pastor taco
Karen T.

Really excellent service! I got an al pastor and a jackfruit taco, they were delicious. They have a ton of vegan/vege options and a wide variety of options. I'll come back!

Vegan tacos
Laila F.

Taco boys is my new favorite taco Tuesday spot, and probably the most vegetarian friendly taco spot I have ever been to!! I go here for taco tuesdays, where all tacos (meat and vegetarian) are 2 dollars! I think the deal ends around 730? But not all night sadly. The tacos are small, and I usually end up eating ~5, so it's a great deal. Otherwise it is more expensive other days and feels maybe less worth it ( I believe the fake meat ones are 4 dollars regularly). My favorite are the fake sausage, the vegan Al pastor, and vegan carne asada. Truly mind blowing, and such a great way for vegetarians to get their street taco fix without needing to eat meat! (there are sadly so few good alternatives). I've also tried the jackfruit and the vegan chorizo- I thought both were a little too sweet for my taste but my partner loved the vegan chorizo. I will also say that as a flexitarian (lol) I snuck a bite of my partners carne asada and Al pastor and we blown away by both. This place has something for vegetarians and meat eaters alike!! The cons- this place is tiny! Be prepared to either sit outside or struggle to find a table inside during peak taco Tuesday hours. A lot of people seem to get food to go, so that's an option. Overall though, 100% worth the struggle to get a seat, especially on a Tuesday. Have not found a better vegetarian spot than this one for excellent street tacos!

The food is good, and it's clear that people will fall in line for it. I don't mind going back. Chips: It's free, and it's chips w/ salsa. Enjoy it. Birria Taco: I think a lot of restaurants are starting to understand how birria is made, so I'm noticing that the average quality is going up. While the taste profile of the meat and the consommé are above average for this place, I feel that the birria that I eat is beginning to taste the same. Kudos on the size; some spots skimp on the size. Lengua Super Burrito: I think this is priced very well for a large burrito. I am a fan of their lengua, and I'm also happy to report that I didn't feel cheated with the lengua portion size inside the burrito. I tried their asasda, and it was bad, so I'm very happy that the lengua was very good. Service: You order, you pay, you wait for the food to arrive. Nothing crazy. Ambiance: It's a smaller corner spot, so you really gotta get lucky with the seating. The line can get crazy at certain hours of the day, so it's gonna be hard to sit and stay a while. I'd just eat here and move on.

Their lack of rice in their burritos makes it so that their meat portions are super generous. Their service time was decently fast. After placing our order we were able to get our food within 15 minutes. Super crowded in person so in person seating might not be feasible when it is busy. Carne Asada was super juicy and for the price and volume I was very pleased. Dorado (toasted) doesn't do much if you're taking to go since the tin foil kind of bakes the juices and makes the burrito soggy anyway. Highly recommend giving this spot a try. Would definitely return to try thejr super burritos!

If you're dining in, after placing your order, you'll wait in another line inside for a table. I personally enjoy the carne asada super burrito here. But whatever burrito you get, make sure to get it dorado style so the tortilla will be grilled and extra toasty. If you prefer not to wait in line, luckily there are plenty of other great taquerias in the Mission as well that are just as or almost just as good. But if you have time to spare, La Taq is worth it.

On a scrubby block of the outer Mission, I used to be here weekly for social skills therapy with my son at KidSpace. So, I was familiar with the parking challenges. Ten minutes later we headed in. Clean, welcoming warm, they invited us to try anything before ordering. We were ready to order the enchiladas divorciadas ($18.49) and breakfast burrito with guacamole ($16.99). We were kindly fussed over by a woman I think was the young owners' mom. She wiped down our table, brought chips and three kinds of salsa and my coffee plus cream and sugar. My son wolfed down the enchiladas with green and red sauces and I saved half of my breakfast burrito for dinner later. My burrito was deliciously filling - and I was super hungry - that's how satisfying it was! The owner told me they make the chorizo sausage in house. The burrito had a wonderful smoky flavor, almost like bacon. Check out this wonderful, newer spot on the 3400 block of Mission. Lovely owners, great food!
