    Tamales are trending this week and this Mexican joint has some of the most authentic in SF. Come in and enjoy the sweet corn tamales as well as some delicious tacos and chicharrones.

    Think of this as less of a place to eat and more of a place to get everything you'll need to do some Mexican cooking of your own. Fresh masa for both tortillas and tamales, salsas, all kinds of cheese

    Holy lord, buy whichever flour tortillas are still warm (the ones made with butter are my fave). Also the burritos are bomb here (you can get one stuffed with a chile relleno!)

    It's more of a market so don't expect to sit & eat here. Vegetarian burrito is one of the best! Get a few pieces of chicharron too.

    More than a grocery store. This place has a great rotisserie chicken and platanos. But also good to cine to buy fresh tortillas and queso fresco

    Get an al pastor taco and haurache. Make sure you photograph, savor, and chew your food before you dig in because it disappears fast!

    Definitely makes the short list for best burrito anywhere. Not over-the-top, just right. Good flavor balance.

    The name is exactly the same. The food is just as good as other Mexican restaurants. Rio Vista has very few places to eat. Give this place a try
