Is there a solid Taqueria in Top of the Hill Daly City? Yes. Yes there is. Los Cuernos is an…read moreunassuming taqueria which after walking in, you'll discover it actually has a large dining area and an extensive menu of Mexican Classics. I visited recently to try their super breakfast burrito. The couple working here are extremely friendly and hard working people. So how was my burrito? It was ginormous, one of the biggest burritos I've seen in a long time. It was well balanced and all the ingredients were portioned properly. Maybe a little more meat would have been nice though. Overall a very solid Mexican spot in Daly City.

So... $5.99 for a regular street taco? Naturally, I was curious. At that price, I was expecting…read moresomething that would separate it from the countless great taco spots around the Central Valley maybe handmade tortillas, grilled-to-order meat, or something memorable. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. The chicken taco ($5.99) was good, but there was no wow factor. The chicken had decent flavor, but everything else felt pretty basic for a nearly $6 taco. The crunchy taco ($5.99) was probably the most disappointing. It reminded me of a small supermarket-style hard taco shell. The chopped steak inside was actually good, but it was heavily covered in shredded cheese. Then there's the Super Taco ($7.99). This one is a skip for me. It was loaded with cheese and watery guacamole, while the al pastor was drenched in sauce and seasoning. There was so much going on that I couldn't really appreciate the meat itself. That's roughly $20 for three tacos before tax... and ultimately, they still felt like fairly basic tacos made with basic ingredients. We also ordered the chicken quesadilla, and I'll give them this: it was MASSIVE. Definitely not lacking in portion size. But again, there was so much cheese, and the chicken was diced so finely that I found myself questioning the overall quality and freshness rather than appreciating the chicken. Surprisingly, my favorite part of the meal was the complimentary chips and green salsa. The green salsa had a nice kick and great flavor. Interestingly, though, our two cups tasted completely different one was flavorful and spicy, while the other was noticeably bland. After everything, we somehow walked out spending around $45 after tipping at checkout. That's where this place loses me. I'm willing to pay more for good food, and I understand restaurant prices have gone up everywhere. But when you're charging $5.99-$7.99 per taco, the quality has to justify it. The food wasn't terrible. It just wasn't memorable enough for the price. If you're coming here expecting elevated tacos to match the elevated price, I would temper those expectations.

My dad wanted birria tacos for his bday and my go to places do not have birria tacos so decided to…read moretry a new spot. The birria tacos came with 3 regular sized tacos and honestly each one is pretty dense with meat and cheese. The consome also had some meat although, I think it was beef and not goat. Everything was tender but the flavor was just ok for me. My mom wanted a carnitas super burrito and this was pretty good. Lots of meat and some bits were crispy just how I like it. I wouldn't mind getting it again but I do want to try their al pastor next time. Their fish plate was pretty good as well. Loved the crispness of the fish and it didn't feel greasy or heavy. It came with avocados, rice, beans, lettuce and 4 flour tortillas. I wouldn't mind getting this again. A basket of chips came for each person as soon as we sat down and there was a healthy selection of salsa. I didn't care for the chips itself as they were too salty for me. The ambiance is very festive and there were plenty of people coming in and out. We dined in and found myself wishing they gave real silverware rather than plastic. We were only give one real fork for the fish and it was difficult to break apart. Their plastic cutlery was also pretty flimsy so we mostly ate with our hands. Overall, I'd still come back and try other dishes.

Pico del gallo (tomatoes and onions) would have made this salad 2x better as it blends well with iceberg lettuce and gives is more flavor. It comes with free chips and two condiment cups of salsa. Both sauce cups were spicy. Service was quick as I was the customer at 6:30pm. One weird thing, the menu on the wall with the photos, some items don't have prices on them. For example, Quesabirria tacos are $8 each. I don't like restaurants where they don't put prices on their menu.

A great, authentic Mexican option if you are in the area!…read more I think their biggest selling point is their portion sizes & overall value for what you pay. I tried their fish taco and super burrito with pastor & shrimp. Both were overflowing with protein, to the point where you need to use silverware to scoop it all up! The fish were very fresh, though I wish there was a bit more seasoning on both. The salsas help make up for it, but overall I found the flavor profiles to be a bit one-note. Taco was $6 & burrito was $17. Again, good value for what you get. I wouldn't recommend a special trip, but it's a great option if you're already nearby!

Hubby and I were looking to try a new place and this restaurant happens to be local for us. I…read morechecked their yelp page and saw that there were good reviews with supporting pictures. The food looked delicious, eye candy. Parking is limited. It's a small place, but big enough to come in with a fairly large group. We walked in and sat down. I noticed a huge counter with a big television screen playing music videos of Latin music, jamming. There were a couple of tables and cultural decor. It was clean and inviting. The server greeted us and brought us chips and salsa verde. The salsa verde was to my liking, perfect amount of spicy. The server came back and took our orders: - Caldo de res (my order), came with rice, tortillas, and cilantro with onions - Grilled chicken tacos - Chicken quesadilla My caldo res was tasty and so good. I love the flavor of the broth. Big portion for me. I finished it though lol. I tasted hubby's tacos and quesadilla, also yummy. I love that they grilled the chicken, gives the flavor more depth. This will be one of our local spots. Thank you, El Taconazo for cooking for us.

The shrimp cocktail had a lot of shrimp, avocado, and cucumber which was delicious. But the actual cocktail juice was light in flavor. Because we took it to go I was able to doctor it up with some extra cocktail sauce, horseradish, hot sauce and lemon. I also loved that they serve saltines with their shrimp cocktail because some places just give chips. The fried fish was delicious and unfortunately I wasn't able to try the aguachilles before they ran out which might mean they were good.

However, the line did pick up pretty quickly after we received our food. Some restaurants give you free chips and salsa when you order a burrito. This one does not. The staff here seem friendly, there's plenty of seats inside. The prices are very reasonable here. The burritos are a decent size. They're skinnier than what I'm used to though. I will say though that there's not a lot going on with my burrito even though I ordered a super burrito. I also asked for some pico de gallo to be added to my burrito, but they forgot to add it. I ordered carne asada as the meat. The meat was pretty dry. I'm used to having juicier pieces of meat. There was also a smokey flavor to the meat, which I did not like. There was barely any sour cream in the burrito, plenty of rice, barely any salsa in it, the cheese was also veeeery little in there. I'm not sure how this place has so many high ratings. It was very underwhelming for my husband and I. Maybe we went at a bad time or the wrong day? Maybe the person making it was rushing? But I have definitely had better burritos. I really wanted to like this place a lot since I love burritos and it's local. I love to support small businesses, but they skimped out on a lot of the ingredients here. I do like their green sauce, but it'd definitely spicier than what I am normally used to.
