Staff PicksFebruary 4, 2016Tamales 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.Upvoted 4 weeks ago
Tobias SchmidtFebruary 12, 2018Think 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
Alex PandelApril 8, 2015Holy 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!)
Order the taco dorado (crispy taco) papas (fried potato) and sit outside. Yum.
Amazing food. I love that you can buy containers of fresh guacamole, salsa, and ceviche to go. Great chips too!
BommyAugust 21, 2015It'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.
Shagun AulakhNovember 5, 2014More 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- Serious EatsOctober 15, 2013You can buy fresh masa and masa-based products of all kinds, as well as excellent homemade moles and meats.
David BrahlerDecember 23, 2015Get an al pastor taco and haurache. Make sure you photograph, savor, and chew your food before you dig in because it disappears fast!
Kevin RipperMay 20, 2015They have possibly the best carnitas I've had and the chicharron pupusa was phenomenal
Definitely makes the short list for best burrito anywhere. Not over-the-top, just right. Good flavor balance.
jenny rockMay 30, 2018Amazing tacos on homemade tortillas. Great masa for sale, chillies, lard, you name it. Best chips.- Ana FrancoNovember 29, 2013The chicharrones "carne y cuero" are amazing and I love the "quesadilla suiza".
- Serious EatsOctober 15, 2013The made-to-order tortas are generous and tasty. Carnitas here is particularly good.
Don BowersOctober 29, 2019The 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
The burritos and tacos are some of the best I've ever had. But make sure to try the sweet corn tamale.
Kelly 🍰July 3, 2012Quesadilla suiza. They have chicken chicharones. Get the to-go guacamole and tortillas! They have both flour and wheat
Dave ZissouFebruary 9, 2013awesome tortillas, the masa here for tamales is really good.and at times, tamales/tacos are sold here too
Amazing ceviche, shrimp tacos, homemade tortillas and chips to go
Monica MillerOctober 24, 2011if you dont know spanish, ordering may be confusing, but trust me -- everything is made from scratch that day. aldo, if youre not that picky of a vegetarian, there are tons of options.
Don't treat as a taqueria, treat as a market. Amazing cactus tortillas and some of the best refried beans in SF.
William JohnsonJanuary 20, 2015Be sure to grab a bag of tortilla chips, then hit the fridge for their guacamole .
Danielle Lazier SF Realtor & Wannabe FlaneuseMay 22, 2014Tried and true! Come for lunch, to buy masa or to cater your next party.

Pablo JimenezFebruary 4, 2014Food is always good. One thing they shouldn't take away from the mission.
Cherylynn NoronaSeptember 21, 2011Harisa Tortillas! Thick, soft and chewy with a rich consistency. Gotta love lard!!!
- Cherylynn NoronaSeptember 21, 2011Harisa Tortillas! Thick, soft and chewy with a rich consistency. Gotta <3 lard!
