    You know you love their salsa, so might as well order a jar to go. Just make sure to ask for the fresh, not pre-filled. You can thank me later.

    Mole tofu burrito with refried beans: It. Was. Heaven. Their salsa is absolutely delicious, and one $.99 side of guac was huge!

    The fish tacos and fish burritos are better than anything we've ever had. The soyrizo was okay, but not really worth the trouble. The chips seemed stale, but wow, the salsa was good.

    The best salsa in San Francisco. Plus, they have two locations, so easy to get to regardless of what part of the city you're at.

    The best burritos in San Francisco. I'd say salsa would be the city's best as well. Great place, in spite of low seating cap

    Inhale chips and salsa. Also, soyrizo is pretty good. Great vegetarian options, giant portions

    Super Chicken Burrito and ask for an additional salsa. It costs $$ but is well worth it. One of my favorite burritos in SF.

    Ranked as top 10 place to bite into burrito by USA Today. And for good reason. Their sauce is the key.

    Pretentious, white version of el farolito's. But the grilled vegetables are solid.

    Order a breakfast burrito to put in the fridge for breakfast the next day. OR get a grilled veggie burrito totally plain, with black beans, and sauce it up with chip dip

    While waiting 15 minutes for your order to come out, run across the street to fulton market for its great beer selection.

    I've tried a lot here and I have to say the best thing is the Super Chicken Burrito with Black Beans. the Mole plate is no slouch either.

    Chips and salsa are good but otherwise, nothing you can't get at any other mexican food establishment.

    It just keeps getting more expensive but less good :( the only thing I'll get here now is the nachos. The burritos are just not worth it anymore. Too bad
