DensMay 28, 2015Bring a friend and do a spiltty-split with a crispy burrito & some crispy tacos. MAKE SURE YOU ASK FOR CRISPY! So good. ps. if you grab a seat outside near windows you can watch them cut up the pork!
Fivethirtyeight burrito bracket put this #1, and they were right. The carnitas are good, but the carne asada is better. Crispy style is a must, though not on the menu.
Josh FerraraApril 21, 2017Welcome to Mecca. Get the Super Burrito, your choice of meat (I recommend carne asada or carnitas), and get the burrito Dorado style — AKA thrown on the grill till the tortilla has a nice crisp to it)
Justin McKissickJuly 6, 2018ABSURD lines, super crowded, but absolutely worth it. Getting a seat by the window to watch orders being made is a great way to pass the time.
Giulia FerreroAugust 17, 2014Amazing tacos! Definitely worth going for the super version with additional avocado, cheese, and sour cream. Take the pork (carnita) and you will not be disappointed! Cherry on top: cheap and fast!
Get your burrito "El Dorado" and they'll fry it up on the griddle after it's rolled!
Mike WinstonAugust 29, 2018Let's get one thing straight. This is not the best burrito in the country. Not even the best in SF. The filling is fairly bland, but that griddled tortilla is totally amazing. WinstonWanders.com
David PoulsenJanuary 23, 2016Hands down one of my favorite taco places in the Mission District! Order the off menu Dorado taco with Carne Asada or they have the best Lengua tacos in the City. You can't go wrong eating here!
Mohit SMay 27, 2016You want a super burrito and you want it "dorado style". They'll make your burrito, then put it back on the grill for the perfect tortilla.
Cole KennedyOctober 28, 2018The burrito is definitely better than anything you can get in NYC, but I still prefer mine with rice.
Yes, believe the hype. This place is that good. Lines get long, but totally worth it. The tacos have huge portions - so order accordingly. Carne asada and beef tongue were so good!
Grace S.December 3, 2015Best Carne Asada taco in the city! Carne Asada is cut in long strips and has a nice charred flavor. Fillings are plentiful and pico de gallo topping is super fresh and delicious!
Chefs FeedApril 5, 2017La Taqueria's burritos are delicious, and my favorite protein is their chicken. It's so moist and fresh. You must get this burrito with their hot sauce. Read more
So good - have to get your burrito Dorado style. I like mine with half lengua for the extra richness. Get an agua Fresca too.
jiresellOctober 5, 2016The line can go out the door, but moves quickly. Simply delicious! Be sure to get you burrito "Dorado" style, i.e. Grilled!
Calin DaianFebruary 15, 2015Any burrito and taco is amazing here! The best texture, the best sauce. Order the pickled carrots and pepper with the meal, they're free. They also toast the wrapped burrito upon request
BommyFebruary 5, 2018Hefty and delicious vegetarian tacos. There will most likely always be a line, even at 11:30am on a sunday. Cash only.
Tony XerriMay 23, 2013Im the biggest lengua snob in the world. This place, has AMAZING lengua. Make sure you get the burrito because they will stack it to no end and fill your ass up good. Negro Modello for beer of choice.
Yera HaOctober 13, 2015Cash only! Here's your exact order: super carne asada crispy style burrito. Don't forget to drown in the green sauce and grab LOTS of napkins.
Vivian WangJuly 5, 2015Tacos with everything! Love their two layers of shell, one soft one slightly crunchy. Loaded with cheese, avocado and meat.
hiroticksMay 5, 2018It's cash-only, so be prepared. Also, the place gets packed around lunch, but it's a fast line. The trick is scoring seats. Just be nice to people and generally, someone will share tables.- Johnny AppleseedSeptember 28, 2015La Taqueria is an amazing place for burritos deep into the SF mission district. The seating isn't too great but the food is amazing. My favorite Mexican takeout in San Francisco!
Two cabeza tacos. Add cheese. Get them dorado (crispy). If the line is too long, walk to Taqueria Guadalajara and get the carnitas tacos.
Alexa (@ladylexy) AndrzejewskiOctober 19, 2013Try the Tacos Dorados - These are the crispy style tacos. Soft on the outside, crispy on the inside and stuffed with tasty grilled fillings. How have I missed these all this time??
Ellen McGrodyJanuary 28, 2016It's good! I don't know if it's worthy of the immense amount of hype, but the green sauce is delicious, and the carnitas is a must try.
My tip for best burrito on earth. No rice, quality ingredients & a long term locally owned business that treats staff well 👌👌👌
Justin KadisNovember 17, 2014Lots of tips say lots of things. All you need to know: order a dorado style super carnitas burrito. Two words: life changing
NicoleOctober 9, 2022Perhaps the best burrito in all of California. Order carne asada el dorado style. 🥇🥇
Annie B.August 10, 2014Solid, no-nonsense Mexican food. The burritos are good, but the tacos steal the show. Can't go wrong with the Carnitas crispy style taco.
Petr J.November 4, 2018I have never seen so well organized and efficient kitchen crew. Crowds of people entering every minute, but your order is still prepared within minutes...
Ines ChanJune 15, 2018This is the only super burrito I’d pay $12 for, hands down. Get it dorado style like everyone else (and the hot sauce is a nice touch). What a game changer.
RosalineNovember 7, 2015Worth the line up. Burritos are small so super size and order them crispy. Green sauce at the table is spicy! Drinks can be skipped - I've had a better horchata
Mark KupasrimonkolJuly 14, 2015Great burrito! Drench it with there amazing green sauce and keep your eyes on the prize, you really don't want to see how much oil it takes to fry these suckers.
Jose PalomaresAugust 26, 2016The carnitas burrito is superbly juicy, better than any other carnitas I've tried. Get it super, and when bored, maybe try the carne asada, also goood
Brian StraussApril 19, 2017The carne asada is amazing: big, gristle free chunks. No rice in the burritos or anywhere on the premises makes burrito a fairly juicy affair.
Varun ShettyJuly 8, 2015The carne asada super burrito could easily replace one of the members of the holy trinity. That's how good it is.
Cory O'BrienMarch 11, 2016You can't go wrong with an al pastor super burrito. And don't miss the strawberry agua fresca! 🌯🍓
Chantal CoxSeptember 25, 2014Great food. Packed most of the time. Expect to stay in line 15 mn aprox and 15 mn to get your food. The place is not the cutest place to eat but it is quite clean
Ina LiMarch 20, 2015Their taco has one crunchy layer and one soft layer of tortilla. Only 3-5 dollars. So delicious! Cash only!
_July 11, 2015One of the best in SF! No rice burrito! Get the carne asada super burrito, or tacos, or anything! Everything here is so good. Cash only though.
Flour cheese quesadilla is out of this world. Traditional burrito without rice is packed full of tastiness. The Fresca and horchata are delicious too.
EpicuriousJanuary 22, 2015Unlike many Mission spots, La Taqueria closes at 9 p.m., so it's not a late-night destination for the lubricated. Instead, it's one for those who appreciate cheap eats that aren't cheaply made. Read more
Get the "Super" everything! Super Burrito, Super Taco etc! This means guac, sour cream and all the good stuff on top of the regular dish!
Prit SMarch 26, 2013Order the 'carne asada' tacos and mention crispy, you won't regret it and on some side it wouldn't hurt to order chips & salsa ......all this will be a foodgasm for under 10$
