If I don't get to any other restaurants while in SF I always make it to La Taqueria; it's as if I didn't go to SF if I don't make it there! THe last bit of ungentrified SF, Mission St. has this gem that serves up the best tacos with the freshest salsa, great beans, fresh cheese, fresh tacos, well... More

There's not a whole lot to say aide from "I haven't had better burritos in San Francisco." And I've been looking... First, everything is fresh and made in front of you. Their turnaround is so great that nothing stands open in the air. In fact, there's always a line, though they are so efficient that I've never waited more than... More

My family took the advice of our tour guide, and trekked to the Mission District by bus to see if his proclamation that La Taqueria had the best burritos in San Francisco was accurate. We all agreed that this was true. Although their menu is small, their food is delicious. It is a small storefront restaurant, but they move their... More

We were looking for an authentic taco experience in San Francisco. We found it in La Taqueria. The tacos are made freshly in front of your eyes and they really tasted good. Although there is still room for improvement. For my taste they could have been a little more spicier. I recommend the sausage taco. Full of flavour. Delightful. The... More

Had lunch here on a trip to San Francisco, as recommend by a friend. This place did not disappoint. Good size portions and some of the tastiest Mexican food I've ever had. Almost doesn't compare to the stuff we get on the east coast. Clearly lots of locals there for lunch. More

Based on the hype about this place I was expecting something out of this world. Sure the food was really good, but I also had fantastic Mexican food at several other places during my trip, including a no-name roadside restaurant in Santa Cruz that was equally as good as this. Anyway, the food is certainly tasty, and good enough value... More

Seems very popular, good food but long line ups. Would likely not wait in line again. Seem kind of expensive for what it is but this place seemed cleaner than other similar restaurants in the area. Ok for a snack or lunch. Good Guacamole. Meat in the Burrito is actual steak pieces not ground beef. Food quality was very good. More
