I prefer the al pastor to the carne asada, it was just so much more tender and flavorful. It's great they offer outdoor seating so more people can fit, but the indoor table near the back door was so cold from the wind. The atmosphere felt like a lot of locals bringing around their tourist friends (but tbh that was me too!)

Service was quick & the food was made promptly. The place is small, but they did have a patio out back (I saw a sign I didn't go to check it out) I ate the burrito later that day. It was very flavorful and had the right amount of ingredients. They came with the green and red sauce on the side. The green sauce is spicy. Red sauce is mild. Bring cash because it's cash only but they do have an ATM.

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.

This is a bustling restaurant where you grab number then get in line to order your food and wait . You wait for the food and you wait for the table unless you're grabbing food to go. There is a separate togo line, but was no shorter. Once upon a time, I remember coming here when the food was cheaper and the restaurant was less crowded. It hurts my soul to pay this much for tacos after spending so much time in the Bay and Mexico City. But the tacos are massive and more like mini burritos.

From Wednesday, August 12, 2026…read more My high school classmates and I decided to meet up for tacos. Upon agreement, we met up here at Taqueria Guadalajara. The food is delicious and it's prepared once you put in an order at the counter. I had two tacos with chicken and cheese, on corn tortillas. One of my classmates ordered the super nachos with meat. The other two ordered a super burrito as well. Service is very good, staff were friendly. It's not a super large restaurant, so large groups not advised. Seating is available if you wish to eat in. The food was this good, and we all enjoyed it. I recommend this place, if you are passing by looking for a quick meal.

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!

It says they open the 7pm but they're not ready till much later and we were told to show up around 8pm to be first in line. The lengua tacos are fantastic! The horchata is also good. I also had the pastor and carne asada. The pastor was better than the carne asada but even then neither stood out. It was nice to support their entrepreneurial spirit. I like that the early crowd is Latino locals, and that the later crowd (assumed) gets after bar crowd. It really services a wide San Francisco scene. Limited seats. Don't expect to sit down.

They accept cash, Apple Pay or Zelle. For two carne asada tacos and an al pastor quesadilla, they charged us $25. No idea what the cost breakdown is since they don't have a menu lol Service was prompt and friendly. They have pickled onions with sliced habaneros and a few different salsas. I like the red salsa, creamy green one (kinda spicy), and the creamy habanero (very spicy). The tacos were good. Pretty decent amount of meat. The quesadilla was also good with a decent ratio of cheese and meat. I thought the al pastor was missing that typical strong savory-sweet flavor though. They also added pineapple in the quesadilla. There are a lot of options in the area but this place is worth a try.

Sitting by the window is nice because you can feel the fresh air. You can order at the counter or they can also bring menus to the table for you. They are very fast with getting our food to us too, so it's a good place to go to if you need a quick bite. I got 3 tacos: Pastor, Grilled Chicken, and Carnitas. My favorite was the Carnitas one, it had a nice flavor and good, juicy texture. The chicken one was rather dry, but I think it's because it was later in the evening and they had cooked it a while ago. Would want to come back to try their Tijuana style tacos because my friend recommended them to me after and they looked delicious.
