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

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.

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 .

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.

Hands down the best thing I ate in San Francisco! It was not only delicious but enough to fill me…read moreup for the entire day. I ordered the carnitas burrito and my husband ordered the carne asada one. We also asked the guys for a salsa picante and their house made one delivered! The ingredients were tasty, well seasoned and fresh. Service is quick, food and ambiance are no frills and cash only. I think about this burrito daily and am willing to travel across the country to get it again. Not to mention, but this is a Mission style burrito in the Mission! This is the only way to do it and I now totally understand the hype.

Stopped by here with some friends for dinner after we had happy hour. Walked in, and luckily, there…read morewas no line. A few people were already in there eating, and we know this place is good, as a few others in our group and I have been here multiple times. The Taqueria is typical of any other, with bench-style chairs for folks to sit on, a water station, and workers cooking it up in the kitchen. I wasn't too hungry, so I grabbed a Super Lengua Taco, while my friends grabbed burritos, we ended up grabbing 3 complimentary chips and guac/salsa with our order and the food came out pretty quickly. When I saw my Taco I forgot how much they stuffed it and wow, two of these would've filled me up just like a taco; there was so much Lengua that it kept falling off after every bite. The flavors all came together and I scruffed down the whole thing after about 6+ bites! Definitely a place to come to if you're looking for a full meal, or something to snack on!

This is for my overall experience for their delicious deal on cinco de mayo! Tacos el Tuscan (based…read morein the heart of the Castro) had a $1 deal that was worth waiting for (super long line might I add!) The space is relatively spacious for smaller groups to hangout after a night out around the area for delicious munchies. I'll definitely be coming back if I'm around the area especially for their carne asada tacos! (They do NOT skimp on their portions and the guac came with the order!!!)

Don't let my sad little photo belie the absolutely delicious and flavorful "red" tacos ($5.95 each)…read moreI had at Tacos El Tucan tonight. Crunchy with shrimp and a creamy cabbage and the chicken redolent with lots of fresh cilantro, it was the first time I had a red taco. This will be my go-to always. My son had the crunchy red burrito ($15.75) with chorizo, crispy cheese, sour cream, pinto beans, guacamole and pico de gallo with a horchata to drink. 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.

Definitely the best burrito spot in the city 10 out of 10 we did the Carne Asada with chips and…read moresalsa which was very fresh. The line was quite long wrapped around the block but took about 25 minutes because people come here sit down and they eat and leave pretty quickly because the lines are long. The ambience is very nice. It's like I walked into a Hispanic home. The staff here are very friendly, but please make sure you accommodate because there is a lot of people waiting in line so I'm not saying eat your food fast and leave. There is benches and tables which make it feel like you walked into a Hispanic home as well. The Strawberry Horchata and mango Agua Fresca is really good 10 out of 10.

Beware!!! I need to…read morewarn people about this because I only found out AFTER asking questions myself. 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.
