This place is great. Family owned and the nicest people running it. They also do a great grilled veggie burrito, and their mole enchiladas are also quite tasty. Finally, their green juice is really good too. read more

I'll start off by saying the service here was great! Cashier took our order on the register and even brought our food to the table we sat down at. The decorations in here are so cute there was even a mini shelf with tiny jarritos! I ordered a torta de carne asada. I would give it a rating of 7.5/10. It wasn't the worst torta I had but felt as though the meat was pretty dry without the salsa. The bread definitely made me give this a higher rating it was so soft! And not the same bread most places used. The horchata was delicious and left me wanting to order another cup! No notes from me. I personally don't like when places make horchata too grainy and they definitely got it right here. Perfect level of sweetness too, not overpowering. Overall a good spot and I would come back again! read more

It's a great local place to grab a quick bite or get it to go. Nothing fancy but consistent and affordable. We go regularly.

Omg I just realized when I looked at my receipt when I got home they charged me $15 for a super burrito with no meat no veggies in it then added $5 on top because I asked for a Chile Relleno super burrito! I would understand if I had meat in it and asked to add a Chile relleno but it wasn't the case! The burrito was just ok, nothing amazing either. I would have appreciated it if the lady told me it was going to be a $20 vegetarian burrito!! read more

Taco Los Altos - $15 for what?? I didn't get meat or vegetables in my burrito! Then a $5 extra charge for relleno in it - Mexican Near Me - San Francisco, California

The food I had delivered from me on a different platform was amazingly delicious. The chicken fajitas were perfectly cooked with extra flavor. The service was great and the ambiance of the restaurant was amazing from what I had seen in pictures and other reviews. I highly recommend this place. I give them 4 stars read more

Used to love this place, but I'll be staying away. Just placed an order to eat there and saw the staff drop two large pieces of pineapple on the floor as they are making a juice. Instead of throwing the pineapple away, they calmly went to the sink and washed it off then threw the pieces in the blender and continued to make the juice. I left without my burrito and will find a new Mexican spot on Cortland to eat from now on. read more

This is my family go to place to buy Mexican food. The food is good and the prices are good. I tried the super veggie burrito, the flat burrito with red sauce ( i forgot the name) and the cerviche. Everything is good and the service is good. read more

Disappointing Experience Unfortunately, my recent visit to this establishment was a letdown. I ordered the chips and salsa and Quesabirria , which was one of the worst I've ever had. The dish was just oily , watery , lacked flavor, which was disappointing. They brought me a very small bowl of salsa and a basket of old chips . Not good at all . The lackluster food may have contributed to the noticeable absence of customers. The restaurant itself is very clean , nicely decorated and cute though . I wish they had better food . Rating: 1/5 stars read more

RIDICULOUS! The quality of virtually every plate they offer here is ridiculously delicious. Throughout the years I have cycled through their menu and have never been dissatisfied. Everything they offer is homemade from chips and salsa to food and tortillas "hechas a mano". The staff are always welcoming and service is unreal. read more

I do like their burritos there. The chips and guacamole are terrific too. It's a great neighborhood joint. Good for take out or dining in. My kids love the horchata too. read more

Taco Los Altos is a little Taqueria in my neighborhood. They serve up decent tacos, burritos and nachos. They have daily aqua frescas and make good micheladas. They are one of the lesser expensive sit down restaurants on Cortland and always have ample seating, so it's easy get a table outside if you have your pups with you or sit inside if you have a group. The only thing I had that I didn't really enjoy as much was the breakfast nachos. Nice idea, but wasn't as good as the regular nachos or the breakfast burrito. read more

In all my years of yelping i have never felt so called to leaving a review... BEST MEXICAN FOOD SPOT!!! Kind workers, FRESH everything. Im so excited this spot exists. read more

I was craving a steak and prawn quesadilla and we're driving by this place and decided to stop. Hopefully they had it. I have to say it was the best ever and I can't wait to go back there. I wish they delivered. I'd order some right now! It was a little on the pricey side, but I paid again because it was that delicious! Sorry, no picture. I was so hungry. I scarfed it all down next time. I'll take a picture. read more

First time here; and it was kinda a let down. Heard good stuff about this place and it's a clean place. It's a homey, slightly upscale, low key place. And you are paying for that. Yet the two taco plate, with rice and beans could have been better. Each taco had about a table spoon and a half more, of protein, in my case carnitas. Each taco is on two small generic corn tortillas. And a good table spoon of fresh chopped cilantro, onions and green hot sauce. The small bowl of spanish rice and refried black beans were good tasting. I think there should have been more protein in the taco's. For $15.00, you are basically getting just what I wrote. Now, if you don't care for much protein, your $15 will get you far, and with plenty of carbs. I did tip well. There are better options out there. We went there a week ago. read more

Awesome service and really fantastic food. Rarely do I think grilled veggie burritos or tacos really hit the mark. Too often the veggies are bland, under cooked, and just disappointing in general. Not here though! Taco Los Altos clearly cares about the product they put out including for their vegetarian and vegan patrons. The Super Veggie Tacos were fantastic, in particular the homemade tortillas were a favorite. My wife usually finds most beans to be bland, but the beans here really hit the mark. The Burrito Mojado was even better in my opinion. The rice and beans inside were really excellent along with of course the grilled veggies I mentioned above. The real star for me was the slightly sweet and definitely tangy green sauce which was really awesome. It was also pretty massive in size! The also have hot sauce which we were offered when our food was brought out. We got the habanero (but I think a few options are available?) which was awesome, almost a bit too spicy for me but I'll definitely be asking for it when I go back! One thing to note is that the prices here may be a little high relative to places in the mission or others nearby (in particular compared to the portions), but the quality you are getting is definitely a step up from the typical. There is definitely more creativity on the menu, with higher quality ingredients. Along with that is a clean, comfortable, and cozy seating. In particular the outdoor seating along Cortland is super cute and we did end up sitting inside which has a classic but slightly elevated style to it. read more

The food from here easily represents a single digit percentage of all the food my family eats. It's home style Mexican food and no matter where I travel or what other great Mexican food I eat, I always look forward to the convenience and taste of the food from this place. Their burritos are so satisfying to me. My family each has their own favorites and we just repeatedly order it over and over again. It's actually quite therapeutic for us to know after travel or the busyness of life we can grab an easy meal from here, reset with familiarity, and just enjoy each other's company. Tip: their lunch tortas are sleeper hits. read more

A very clean tiny restaurant It has both inside and outside sitting area. Employees are nice . The service is quick. I ordered a chicken fajitas. It was good . The portion was small and I was not very hungry so it was ok . I finished it all but if I was really hungry the portion was not enough for one person . The price was affordable. The service has lots of rooms for improvement. I will go back definitely to try something else . read more

This place....four out of five times I can't get any attention--like multiple times I've stood there trying to order food and I'm ignored. The only time I actually got food it was absolutely bereft of flavor. I won't even try again it bums me out. read more

Fantastic catering. Food was plentiful and delicious. Everything was packed up neatly and was easy to set up.

I enjoyed my visit here and would recommend it. I ordered to-go: the super veggie burrito and a side of chips and salsa, plus orange juice. It was my first time at this restaurant. During my wait I was offered a sample of several flavors of the aquas frescas. I was so impressed by the flavor of the drinks that I ordered two. The burrito was tasty and I felt the ingredients were quality. It had good flavor and wasn't overly salty or thrown together like many other SF veggie burritos I've had. It had a unique goodness about it that made me look forward to enjoying it again. It could have had more veggies and more solid items inside to give it structure -- seemed like it was all mushy inside unfortunately. Plus the price was higher than I'd prefer for what I got. However, it tasted good. The chips seemed not as fresh as I'd prefer. The salsa roja was delicious and tasted like it was made with quality ingredients. The salsa verde was boring and rather flavorless to my surprise. The orange juice was delicious. I didn't drink the two Aguas frescas yet but I will; they were served with beautiful presentation of some fruits and herbs on the top -- most taquerias drinks don't taste that great and they are served without extras, so I appreciate theirs. I didn't eat there so no ambiance review, but it seemed pleasant for me to eat there someday -- clean, decorated. The service was friendly and with genuine smiles, which I greatly appreciated. I'll be back! read more

The quesa birria tacos here are to die for. It's pretty much what my entire family gets every time. Ask for a side of pickled onions. Service is great as always! read more

I have loved chile rellenos for years. These were a huge disappointment! They were smothered in sauce and could not see or taste the actual chiles! I will not trust this restaurant with any real Mexican food again!! read more

I need to update my old review. We have become big fans of Taco Los Altos - especially their breakfast tacos and veggie burritos! Tasty food, friendly service, and reasonable prices. We've picked up lunch to go from Taco Los Altos two days in row. Yesterday, I got their breakfast tacos, which have eggs and chorizo - they are delicious! Today, I got the veggie burrito with chicken added - this has become my go to item here, and it is fresh, flavorful, and healthy. I love the fact that the veggie burrito comes with grilled vegetables (a mix of bell pepper, zucchini, broccoli, onions, etc.). I get it on a whole wheat tortilla, with black beans, and no rice. It's great! The staff is friendly, and if you go when it's not busy, the food is ready for pick up within 10 minutes. I appreciated being able to pay by Apple Pay, and also appreciated the fact they had a "no touch" hand sanitizer dispenser next to the register. This is a great place in the neighborhood for good, low key meals! read more

We had a nice lunch. Husband had the super burrito which was quite substantial and had good fresh flavors. I had the fish taco which had a nicely seasoned grilled fish filling with nice garnishes. It was small so now I know to order two of them for lunch. Service was courteous . Outdoor seating is available as well . read more

My friend and I have been going to Martha & Bros next door to this place for years and sadly we just started coming in here for breakfast about 2 months ago. Now, I'm addicted! The breakfast tacos and breakfast nachos are my absolute favs. They do not skimp you on ingredients at all and the pickled onions and jalapeños on top are so good. This place also makes fresh pressed juices. Service is always on point and they are very accommodating (if you ever bring a picky friend). read more

I've enjoyed everything I've had here and the service is great! I've had tacos, ceviche and a few plates and all of them were good. I highly recommend the ceviche as my personal favorite and I also enjoyed their Quesabirria. They also have a Taco Tuesday with $2 tacos and I think the beers/drinks are discounted as well but not wholly sure. Worth checking out! read more

I've had Taco Los Altos a few times over the years and it has consistently stayed delicious. Recently I ordered 40 tacos (carne asada and pastor) for my clinic and it was a hit! The tacos were packaged neatly and were individually wrapped in it's own paper vessel. The meat was super flavorful and juicy. I also ordered the different salsas and you can tell the love and time they put into making them. The salsas had a Smokey, fresh flavor and was the perfect accompaniment on top of the tacos or with the freshly fried tortilla chips. The avocado salsa was the absolute favorite among my peers and received compliments from the even the most pickiest or food snob eaters, haha. I also enjoy the aguas frescas and the desserts! The dessert empanadas and the flan cheesecake are perfect to enjoy after your savory meal. I highly recommend this establishment and they've also added a breakfast/brunch menu and outdoor seating which is a bonus! read more

Portions for a Mexican restaurant is tiny and didn't give any sauces. Spent $65 for two dishes. I want to support my local restaurants but they also have to genuinely want to treat you well and make the food with love, especially when you over charge clients. At least make me want to come back. I should've known better, the place was dead but still thought I'd give it a shot. Oh and they don't answer their phones. I'm sorry to leave such a poor review. The food was bad, service was worst. Portions were small and way over priced for what they serve. read more

High quality ingredients, authentic and delicious flavors, and great service. Loved the taco and the quesabirrias...

I was once on a sort of half intentional Nacho Quest about six years ago and probably had Super Nachos more than a couple of dozen times, over a relatively short period of time. I researched blogs, Yelp. and city periodicals for the best Nachos in town. This place has, so far, been the best. All aspects of the Nachos were perfect. The quality and flavor of the meat is fantastic and very tender with no gristle. The house-made tortilla chips were thick and resistant to sogging, even at the bottom of the plate, Perfect amount of cheese and toppings (we asked for extra cilantro and carne asada for a nominal increase). You may get different salsas on the nachos and/or an array of dipping saucers around the side. Go get'm.. and tell Sylvia, John and Victor sent ya. :) read more

Doesn't look like much when you walk by, i almost missed it but I'm so happy i came in. Food is very fresh and i had 3 carne asada tacos- and i am usually VERY picky about the meat and they delivered. Very fresh and authentic. If the tacos were this good i can only imagine everything else! Definitely coming back and very happy i walked in. Worth checking out for sure. read more

When I don't want to cook and want something fresh that's not fast food I come here! And it always hits the spot, a few of my favorites is the nachos with black beans, chicken and veggies TO DIE FOR. Another favorite is a veggie taco with tortilla hecho a mano (hand made tortilla) you can just taste the freshness and they load that taco with hella veggies. AND the breakfast!!! Top tier fresh breakfast, try it all! but most importantly get the veggie toast it's lit! Cute little spot they have changed it a lot! my favorite is the pink walls. Very friendly servers, and fast service. feels like home. read more

Ok, only when I don't want to go out to the Mission. stop charging for tortilla chips, it's like charging for tap water.

Los Altos serves excellent food and has great service. Local gem! We enjoyed it and will be back soon!

Great little neighborhood restaurant - also love that they are doing little taco delivery service! We have been looking for this! During this health crisis, you can preorder little rice, beans, meats, salsa, etc kits for them and they'll drop off. Will be adding it to our quarantine meals rotation! read more
