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.

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!

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!

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!

Tacos El Patron is still my go-to spot for birria tacos in the city…read more Food: I first discovered birria tacos during the pandemic and went on a mission to find the best one. A coworker recommended this place, and now I recommend it to everyone. What stands out is the balance--everything is done well. The meat is rich and flavorful, the tacos themselves are just as good, and the consommé ties everything together perfectly. I've tried places where one part is strong but something else falls short, but not here. You also get free sides like onions, cactus, radish, and beans, which make the meal even better. I've been coming back ever since, and I can easily finish three tacos in one sitting. On my most recent visit, I had two birria tacos and tried their birria ramen. It was surprisingly good--comforting and flavorful, more like a homemade dish than anything instant. For drinks, I've tried all their jugos, and the jamaica is the standout--get it in a large. Service: Friendly, efficient, and straightforward. Orders come out at a good pace, and the staff keep things moving even when it's busy. Ambience: The space has a Frida Kahlo-inspired design, which adds character and makes it feel lively and unique. There's one restroom available. Parking: Parking can be a bit difficult in the area, so expect to walk a little--but it's worth it once you get your food. If you're serious about finding a really good birria taco, this is one to try.

Tacos El Patron is worth the effort to figure out where to park, etc. it's not quite a hole in the wall, but it definitely is on the smaller side, and we ended up getting food to go because it was just easier. The birria quesadilla was a total surprise. It was FILLED with a very generous amount of meat. The meat was tasty, lightly seasoned, and the portion truly is a shareable. We asked about the consommé and I don't know if they just forgot it or what happened but we never got to try it. The shrimp taco was tasty and absolutely filled with again generous amount of shrimps. Ironically, it wasn't my favorite. It just was lacking the level of flavor that I really wanted. The Carne Asada was mediocre at best and not something that I would order again. The winner out of the numerous items that we ordered was the pork belly and the Al pastor. Between the two, the Al pastor is the one that you want. Incredibly well seasoned, a nice hint of light spice, the meat was juicy and tender, and the combination in the taco was outstanding. Seriously so good that my mouth is watering just thinking about how tasty it was. The chips were nothing to write home about, and I didn't really care for salsas that came with the meal. Really reasonably priced, generous amount of food, and absolute worth the push in enjoying their food! Diners tip: there seems to be a description in cost between ordering online versus in the restaurant and you may get a better deal ordering online

On a Saturday night in the Castro, this corner of 16th and Market is already poppin' with area bars so while they'll rush out with your order curbside, my son dashed in for speed. Super friendly service, cute cafe tables for dine-in, Tacos El Tucan is now on the dining circuit. Love this spot and it's close by, too. Open very late on Saturday night 'til 2am if you're partying and craving drunchies.

This place is famous for their burritos and especially the "Dorado style," which tastes amazing -- BUT what they don't clearly disclose anywhere is that the Dorado style burrito is cooked in pork lard unless you specifically ask for it "dry" or with vegetable oil. As someone who does not eat pork for religious reasons, finding that out after already eating there was honestly really upsetting. And the frustrating part is that there is NO clear sign or disclosure telling customers this. If I never asked, I would have had no idea. I actually still like this spot and appreciate that they at least offer a dry/vegetable oil option if you ask, but customers should not have to investigate ingredients themselves to avoid pork. Jewish, Muslim, vegetarian, and other customers deserve transparency. A simple sign or note on the menu saying that Dorado style is prepared with pork lard by default would solve this issue completely. Great food, but this absolutely needs to be disclosed better. One of my all time favorite spots in general.
