Review
This is a really popular spot on a Friday night in the Mission area and the hype was justifiable. The experience, the vibe and the food were all great. I had the tacos, nacho chips and quesadilla and there were all very tasty. The salsa, avocado, sour cream and beans were all fresh and flavourful. This place is a must when visiting SFo.

Definitely one of the best tacos in town. Outside of the basics (al pastor, asada) be sure to also try some Lengua (beef tongue) for a different taste and texture. The service is fast but the lines can be long depending on when you go.
Most people get the burrito here too, which can be filling but it does not allow you to try the different meats if you just go for one burrito instead of two or three tacos. The nachos with guacamole and pico de gallo were also an excellent pairing to add texture to the soft tacos we ordered. Highly recommended!

Carne asada flour super quesadilla is to die for. Tortilla was perfect and fillings delicious. Super burrito was also really good. Tangerine agua fresca was sweet and tasty. They do take credit card now. Nice mariachi band that takes cash tips but gets kinda loud in there if try to converse. Affordable too

Authentic Mexican quick bite. I love the beef tongue tacos. Very special and you can not get it else where. They do not have fresca here. They only offer meat selections no seafood which is little disappointed.
