Panucho de pollo
Abilene D.

Probably the most delicious traditional Yucatán food I have tried. The talking lasting taste in every bite. The dishes we ordered came in bowls soaking in broth. Servers were friendly and explained the menu well. Food was speedy. There are nice pictures on the walls.

Pork panucho
Terri N.

On the fence between 3*|4*. Great to support local businesses. Really good value for the neighborhood. Cash only. Friendly, efficient service for our take out. Several dine In tables, no outside area. We ordered carne asade and a panucho. Panucho was excellent. We've had many versions of carne asade & this didn't do it for us. A thin pork chop, with fresh tortillas, salsa, salad and bean soup. At home we had to chop the pork chops up, toast the tortillas and compile everything for a nice meal. Not really what we expected so we would order something else next time. Definitely recommend the panuchos!

Empanada de picadillo.

We ordered tamal colado, panucho and empanada de queso everything was delicious. My husband is from the Yucatán Peninsula and he loved the food, it reminded him of his home town's food. Service was exceptional. We're definitely coming back.

Frijol con puerco soup, soul comforting!

Authenticity describes it best, like walking into a small local eatery in the Yucatan peninsula and feeling there, while being in the Mission district in San Francisco.

If I tell you I couldn't find the Asian side of things, it wouldn't be the first time in my life that I've said that. Guess that's what makes me a banana...yellow on the outside and...well, you know the rest. Anyway, I only saw the Yucatecan side as I was perusing the four-page menu. There is mention of a "deli & sandwich" on the front signage, so I assume they make banh mis somewhere back in the mystery kitchen. Since it was my first visit there, I thought I should just stick with what was in print and not go out on a high wire. Meanwhile, a young pre-adolescent girl at the next table was moaning discernibly. I was worried it was food poisoning, but it turned out she had earbuds on and was singing (sorta) to the music from her laptop. It was close to 8PM when I got there, and it looked like they were getting ready to close shop but not quite. I first ordered the $10 Poc Chuc thinking this may be the house specialty, but the waitress came back from the kitchen and told me they were out. I then tried to order the $8.50 Chuleta de Puerca (Pork Chop) and again she came back, apologized profusely as she said they were out of that, too. OK then, how about the $8 Carnitas? At last, something they were willing to make. The modest plate came out, and there was a mound of fried pork, some lettuce covered with avocado slices and a fresh tomato sauce. Black beans were served in a bowl, and the warm flour tortillas were wrapped in a red towel on another plate (see photo). She asked me if I wanted rice to which I affirmed yes, that would be nice. Now the Asian side kicked in since it wasn't the orange Mexican kind I was expecting but the white kind scooped in a bowl. It reminded me of the kind of street food you could get from a cart at a festival in Mérida. Not a bad thing especially since the tortillas tasted homemade. It's no dining destination - but it'll do in a pinch. FOOD - 3 stars...street cart-level food...OK but... AMBIANCE - 2 stars...not the cleanest-looking place but they appear to try SERVICE - 3.5 stars...friendly though a tad paranoid when they saw me taking photos TOTAL - 3 stars...not a standout in the Mission but decent enough for a fast meal

chicken tamela
Rukia Z.

Great server! The manager is super nice and helpful. You don't have to worry if you dine alone. They will help you order great and not too much food for you. !!! The soup is soooo good! How can they make chicken so soft? Highly recommend!

loved this place - def hidden gem that deserves some more love. We didn't know it was a Viet-Yucatan fusion. It's so subtle and natural, and unless you were Viet you might not really catch on the little culture mix since it isn't really advertised. The owners seem to be half Viet and Yucatan, and so the fusion felt seamless instead of gimmicky like other fusion foods. They've got their tamales wrapped in banana leaves, a sauce with nuoc mam on the table, and their tortas use banh mi baguette. I got the poc chuc torta and carnitas taco. Both were excellent

Look at this hungry child

Food is beyond amazing! The empanadas, salpuchos & tamales are deliciously flavorful. Goes great with a fresh melon drink. This tastes authentic.

**CASH ONLY** My mother and I stumbled upon this place while walking around "The Mission". We were quickly greeted and told we could sit wherever we liked. They recognized that we weren't familiar with the menu and took a minute to explain it. The food was good and came out quickly. They didn't check in on us nor offer us anything else, more drinks, etc but it wasn't horrible. This definitely seems like a place that has regulars because I noticed a couple of people came in, sat down, said a few words and just nodded and the waitress knew what they wanted. Overall not a bad place but not great, I'd eat there again but I'm not exactly dying to go back.

The worker is laying the meat on the ground to cut it -- almost a daily ritual.

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.

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!

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!!!)

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.

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.

I have tried a plethora Mexican food places as I enjoy it the most and this has by far let me down the most. Although it is super packed and has a lot of business I suspect it used to be amazing and build a reputable name, then finished quality over time and continue to receive customers due to their past performance. The ambiance makes you think that this place offers amazing food considering the amount of people but when you try the food you will truly understand Super Burrito Carne Asada - 3/10 Regular Burrito Cabeza - 5/10 Burritos are extremely small, very oily and have barely any meat inside. Sauces are mid and they are very stingy as well, the won't provide extra sauces even if you ask nicely. Everything just tasted...bad; if you read this hopefully I can save you some money. Any other mexican food spot would be a better selection. Overall rating 2/5.
