"A family-operated chain dating to 1982 and a go-to late-night spot, known for reliably consistent components and great al pastor that manages a spit-like, flame-broiled taste even without a spit. The meat hits a sweet spot of juicy but slightly crispy, with nicely charred bits. Different locations have slightly different vibes—the Mission Street outpost (2779 Mission Street) is famed for its al pastor, while the 24th Street location feels homey and yields juicier carne asada and pollo asado. Recommended: the super al pastor at the Mission Street spot and the pollo asado burrito at the 24th Street location." - ByOzi Magaña, as told to Kate Kassin
