A great spot to enjoy a meal. The restaurant has a positive vibe and offers friendly service. Enchiladas are a fan favorite…delicious. The tortilla soup was warm and rich in nutrients.

Not busy at all on a Thursday dinner when I showed up! Good: - Cheap food at good value! - The crispy fish burrito here was amazing! I liked how crispy it was and how it complimented the other flavors inside the burrito Bad: - The place is pretty casual, a little dirty inside and it's not where you'll get premium service, though the staff were nice overall Overall enjoyed my experience here and good food for the value, nothing fancy but good for a casual catchup with a friend.

Still one of the best Taqueria in San Francisco. Super fresh tacos and some of the best fries around. Very friendly staff too!!

- baja fish taco was delicious with a big portion of fried fish but pricy at $8each - skip the carne asada, lacked some flavor

David Jackson

Used to be unbeatable for the price. Last couple times have been not so good. Why is the pollo ads do bland now? Is it just boiled chicken?

Had the carnitas burrito twice now and the meat is so tender with some crispy bits throughout. Very flavorful and the rice and refried beans are also great. Service is always friendly and quick. The carnitas taco is also another recommendation which was packed with a pretty big portion of meat as well as onions. Overall an awesome place to go 👍🏻.

Tried their carnitas tacos with onions and cilantro only. They were delicious. Full of flavor and perfectly greasy! Their horchata was really good as well. I'll be back to try their California Burrito next visit.

Loved this place for nearly a decade. This place has changed recently and today is the last chance I have them. Stay far away. This is the burrito bowl lol

First time here randomly during Wednesday's lunch and got 3 street tacos for $12, I chose one chicken, carnitas and Al Pastor. The pork carnitas one was really crispy on top which I liked a lot. Al Pastor sounded cool to be mixed with pineapples was a nice sweet surprise flavor. And chicken one was also tender. It was messy eating with the juices and the diced topping falling off, but it was a good meal. I notice this place caters to people working in the industrial working area and I see muni bus drivers, security guards and people in suits coming in, either to eat in or take out. I had my ticket number and menu on the table and since I was by myself I had to use the one stall restroom. When I returned to my seat a guy perhaps a security guy with a mask in and head facing down as he was sleeping was in my seat. :( I wasn't happy with that so I just took my table number and menu to another location. Then his buddies joined him, not knowing that was my seat at the round table. Other than that mishap, rest of my meal went perfectly and off I went. Nice hidden taco joint on the corner can be easily missed without a standup sidewalk sign on street corner.

I'm an instructor at the nearby art school, have been going regularly to Dos Pinas for over 10 years and after tonight's rude service I will NEVER be back. Upon entering at 710, I had to wait to be served as the server was eating in the back. She slowly made her way up front without making contact, then said that the store was closing in 20 minutes. 20 minutes wasn't enough to eat, so I left but then noticed that the door said 8PM closing, as did their website. I re-entered to ask the employee what gives, who was again eating in the back. When I pointed out that the store closes at 8PM, she just said "No." I repeated it again then showed her her OWN website on my phone that said 8PM, and she said "no, you need to check yelp" I asked if she was *trying* to get negative yelp review by not answering me, and she said "OK." Ok then, I here's your review. Won't be back!

The old reliable local taqueria was my go-to for a quick lunch. Ordered the 3 Street Taco combo with Al Pastor. Nice and heaping mounds of Al pastor, cilantro, onion, and chunk of grilled pineapple arrived quickly on my tacos. Also got a side of the red salsa- excellent! Definitely two thumbs up for the street tacos

Baja fish tacos i literally drive 45 mins just to get them and leave. Fire!! Staff is always very kind:) the vibe is always nice

Stopped in a couple of days ago for lunch. The place is a dump. Random items and non working commercial things throughout. I can deal if the food is decent. I Made my order of enchiladas with a side of chips and salsa. I was told by the lady taking my order that they didn't have any salsa. Hmmmm ok I'll take some guacamole. Paid 2.50 for a tablespoon of guacamole. While eating my mediocre enchiladas covered in lettuce and flavorless sauce I heard others come in and ask for salsa for their meals. I overheard the Togo order's being told there's no salsa. I overheard the eat-in order's being told salsa is only to go. Then I noticed a tub of salsa packaged to go and was again told no salsa. Pointed out the salsa to the lady and she told me it's for to go only. Asked her to package up my food to go and she opened up the fridge and handed me some salsa. Terrible service at a trashy joint that I wouldn't eat at again even for free. Disappointing as I've heard great things in the past. Maybe a bad day for them but with many options out there I would never go back.

My burrito is missing the main ingredients (pollo asado and salsa). I requested no beans and it came with beans. Rice is undercooked. The order is totally wrong. BF ordered the Baja Fish Taco and it only had one piece of fish (used to be two).

This is an okay place.. the taco meat was actually pretty dry but the salsa was good!

Dos Pinas has been our go-to neighborhood taco and burrito place - especially their Al Pastor items that usually come with pineapple. We've ordered from them countless times before, but today's meal was truly disappointing. The meat was clearly re-cooked, dry and tough. We had problems chewing the meat, and there were no pineapple pieces. Did they change chefs or are they suffering from low turnover? I really hope this was a one-off situation!

Swift H.

Yelp
Wow this place went downhill like no other. That's why it's so empty. Maybe ownership changed cuz the burrito was dry and cold. Ordered the flautas first and that came out hard as a rock and I couldn't even cut through it. Didn't even eat it after a few bites. Gross. Never ever coming back here again. They just don't seem to give AF. No wonder it was empty. SMH

Yelp
Ordered 2 super fries for takeout, both with carne asada (which is additional $$$) and asked only for guacamole separately. Got fries, with a little bit of cheese, NONE OF THE MEAT I PAID FOR, and EVERYTHING ELSE ON THE SIDE. One of the members asked if it was okay if everything was on the side, which I said was fine... But I'm guessing he forgot to mention that they also didn't read my order at all and just sent it out without checking. Good luck to anyone who expects better.

We all went back to our favorite restaurant Dos Pinas Taqueria in SF two days ago and found a new addition on the menu. The only thing is since it's a new dish, so the owner decided to serve only on Wednesday. This delicious chicken sandwich was loaded with so many things, especially buffalo sauce; I think this will be on the menu permanently. As soon you walk in, you will love colorful decor which will remind you of walking in the old town in San Diego. We all enjoyed the ambiance, and since it was 4 pm (right before the dinner crowd), we sat inside and started reading an exciting menu. The very first thing we ordered was Wednesday special Buffalo chicken sandwich that came with fries. I can tell it was freshly prepared; the chicken was very moist and fully cooked, and the flavor was delicious. Meanwhile, our server, who was very friendly and kind, served fresh chips and freshly made salsa. I loved both green and red salsa, and I mixed it. The rest of the order came quickly too. Here is the rest of the list of what we ordered and loved every bite of it. California tacos, Top shelf tacos Buffalo chicken sandwich, Santa Fe salad, Carne Asada Burrito, Pollo Asada Burrito, Grilled fish tacos( Tilapia), and Grilled shrimp tacos. We were like eight people, so we shared and tasted almost everything with each other. We also celebrated our best friend's wedding anniversary created an amazing memory there. This restaurant serves halal meat, and honestly, it is hard to find good halal food restaurants in the city. Now delicious food, great company including the segment of celebration what else one can ask for the Wednesday evening. We want to thank the Dos Pinas team for their hard work and dedication to their work. I will recommend this restaurant proudly, and please call for their weekend's timings.

Used to love this place, their Baja burrito was I placed an order via Yelp today and proceeded to pickup. My partner walked in to grab the order and he came out as he was looking in the bag and immediately walked back in. I sent him a txt "make sure the half pint of salsa is in there" He walks back out with a new receipt in hand. Apparently he ordered and paid for sides of salsa bcz we weren't given any in the bag and he was unaware I'd ordered and paid for extra already.. I walked back inside, bag in hand and show the lady my screenshot which shows my order which includes the half pint. She seems confused and not apologetic at all... Ok I get it maybe she forgot but the customer service and body language in general says a lot..and that's why the 2 stars. Also, burritos were schorching hot as we were eating them, making it hard to eat.

Fabulous Baja fish taco! Succulent, juicy fish with a fresh non greasy, crunchy crispy coating, like the best in SF. And the bite ends with a sauce that gives it a yummy punch! Definitely a lunch to remember and to return to very soon!

Missy B.

Yelp
The girl working the counter was rude. I walked in and she just stared at me in confusion as if I'm lost or something. No greeting or welcome at all. The menu says 3 tacos for 12 dollars. I got three tacos and chips and salsa for almost 20 dollars. The food was not great. Their asada has no flavor. The salsa were okay. I could buy better chips at the store. I thanked her multiple with no thank you in return. Looks like a small family business, was completely empty when I walked in, that is not the way you treat people coming in to spend their money with you. Will not return. Nor would recommend to anyone.

Dos Pinãs (Two Pineapples) is a taqueria in San Francisco's Design District. It has lots of street parking nearby and you can enjoy their delicious food inside or outside, they have many tables available. Although they do a brisk take-out and delivery business with Grubhub and DoorDash, I came to try their street tacos and sat inside. When rating a taqueria, it makes sense to try the tacos! You don't have to spend a lot of money to have a delicious and filling lunch or dinner at Dos Pinãs. Their street tacos each have two corn tortillas cooked on a griddle with your choice of many delicious fillings, and their basic street taco is only $3.75. Choose your taco fillings from Pollo Asado (grilled chicken), Carnitas (shredded pork), Al Pastor (Roast Pork), Chicken Chile Verde (chicken cooked in green chile sauce), and Vegetarian. They have other taco fillings available that cost a little more. The Carne Asada (Grilled beef marinated in beer and lime juice) street taco is $4, and so is the Chicken Breast street taco. If you're living large and love seafood, try the Prawns street taco or the Grilled Tilapia street taco for $6.25. I decided to get their 3 for $10 special, and I chose the Pollo Asado, the Al Pastor, and the Chicken Chile Verde fillings. The street tacos are sprinkled with minced onions, freshly minced cilantro, and come with a mild salsa. They are served with a wedge of lime for an extra burst of citrus flavor. The term "Al Pastor" means cooked Shepherd style, and it comes from preparing and cooking the pork the way Shepherds used to, with marinated pork cooked on a spit. I loved the Al Pastor taco, and next time I'll just order two of those! The Pollo Asado (grilled chicken) was good, and the Pollo Chile Verde (chicken with green chile sauce) was better, but the Al Pastor street taco was the best! For delicious, authentic, street tacos visit Dos Pinãs. Enjoy!

For part two of my weekly office lunch, I grabbed a taco. Our delivery order arrived via Caviar on Friday, June 22nd a little after 12:15pm. Al Pastor Taco: Served on a griddled corn tortilla with salsa casera, cilantro, and onions ($3.25) *One Taco *Tortilla Chips *Hot Sauce *Lettuce *Onions Decided on the al pastor. The meat had a nice smoke and chew. And the taco was a good size. I actually stole (with permission) some of my coworker's Salsa: Hot, half pint ($2) as I like a lot of salsa on my tacos. It was supposed to be hot, but I didn't find it spicy at all. Our tacos were supposed to come with chips, but we didn't get any. There was only one bag of chips, but someone ordered a side of chips, so we figured that was theirs. Not sure if this was Caviar or Dos Pinas' bad, but some really missed the chips. Decent spot for tacos. Not the best I've had, but fulfilled that craving.

Was craving Mexican food and stirred up a bit of an appetite after biking SF for a little. Ordered 3 street tacos: Al Pastor, Carnitas and Carne Asada and a Horchata The Horchata, was good although a lot more "milky" than I'm used to ... but definitely not chalky or gritty. Lightly sweet and so refreshing! The best taco, I would say would be the Carne Asada ... which is amazing considering Carne Asada elsewhere is typically dry and flat, flavorwise. The Carne Asada was tender, well seasoned and was delicious. The Carnitas and Al Pastor were okay, found them to be a bit lackluster. Street Tacos come topped with onions, salsa, cilantro and a wedge of lime. I found the salsa to be lacking in flavor like another Yelper had mentioned. There's a complimentary chips and salsa bar, the best salsa would be their green salsa. I wouldn't say these are the best street tacos I've ever had, but they're good. Price is steep as my meal came out to be about $15. Themed restaurant, dimly lit, but seems to be consistently busy. The place is clean and service is pretty fast.

Years later and I still love this place! My go-to is the top shelf crispy taco (but I usually sub the chicken.) I still love both the salsas and admittedly have straight up just drank them 'cause they're so freakin tasty. Everyone who works there is super kind and though the ambiance in these weird covid times isn't what it used to be, Dos Pinas still has its lively essence - just with fewer people and quieter. Now that I'm taking my food to go I extra appreciate how fast everything is ready! Dos really is a dependable neighborhood staple.

My coworker and I stopped in here for lunch since we were working in this neighborhood. When we entered we were greeted with a "bar vibe" that shocked us. It was dimly lit and sort of unwelcoming given the time of day we ate here. My coworker commented that it wasn't what he was expecting, but I told him we should just eat here because I didn't want to find somewhere else to eat. First off I wasn't a fan of the layout. The menu was awkwardly placed in conjunction with the cash register where you order and where you actually pick up the orders from. The lunch rush was just starting when we got there and people kept running into each other and having to ask each other if they were in line. The service was nice enough, my negative on the layout aside I actually like their ordering system. I like that you can order what you want to eat, pick up the number and place it at the table, and they bring out the dish to you. It really speeds things up if you are on a lunch break like we were. I wish they had more vegetarian options however, I'm not a vegetarian but I don't always like to eat meat during lunch. Some taquerias will add "grilled veggies" to their menus, this place just lets you omit the meat and they don't even add extra beans or anything so you just end up missing out on part of the dish if you don't want meat. That being said I got the Santafe Salad, which I actually liked quite a bit. I just wish they added more black beans and corn since I didn't order meat with my salad. It ended up being mostly lettuce. It did taste very fresh though and I loved all the ingredients it included. The queso fresco was a nice touch. My coworker got the California burrito with chicken, he liked that a lot as well. In short: This is not the best Mexican food in the city, but it is not the worst either. I would eat here again if I am in the neighborhood.

The best breakfast burrito I've had in San Francisco. Stopped in here and got one and wow - it was amazing.

One of worst burrito I ever had! Please waste your money on this nasty Mexican food! Fish taco is fishy. Not fresh

Really good food, hidden Mexican spot near Potrero Hill. The only thing better than the food was the friendly service.

Yelp
I've become a regular here. It's low-key, delicious food with no pretension. Service is great: order at the counter, food is brought to you with a smile, and you are left alone to do your thing. I've tried half the menu and everything is delicious. Surprisingly so, every dish has been a candidate for position in top 10 of their category. The only dish I didn't care for was the torta but I've never had a torta elsewhere, so I have nothing to compare to. The hot salsa is incredible. It's got a smoky, charred pepper flavour. Try it with the free chips, while you wait for your order. If you're undecided or skeptical, go for the carnitas tacos or carne asada fries. They should speak for themselves. I used to think this place was just a stopgap out of laziness, so I wouldn't have to go to Mission for a taqueria. But now, I actually look forward to coming here on the weekends to get my taco fix.

Really?????? I ordered Nachos with side guacamole and sour cream. So on the nachos only cheese, refried beans and beef. The side of the rest that I got was in a very small container. Really? If they would put it on the Nachos it wouldn't be that size. It was so small. I asked the lady at the register and she said that's the only container they have!!!!!! Are you serious? I need pictures of the soup containers, and half pint container. Why so cheap?

This taqueria deserves way more attention then what it gets. Tasty Mexican food made to order, friendly environment and great service. Now go pay your next fave spot some attention and get outta your head!!

This is a one star review for Dos Pinas at 251 Rhode Island St, San Francisco, CA for my visit on November 16, 2020 at 5:35 PM. I frequent this restaurant and really loved it because I live about a block away. Their food is tasty, prepared well and never have issues with my order. Today, however, I was extremely disappointed that the restaurant violated enforcement of the Covid 19 pandemic health order. A patron was at the counter without wearing a mask and had no mask on his person to wear. He was not eating and he was only placing an order. Signage throughout the restaurant, including at the entrance and at the protective barrier clearly state that masks are required. I asked Jenny if the patron was wearing a mask, and she said no. I asked if she still served the patron, and she said yes. She confirmed that I saw the health code violation and health hazard. I won't be returning to Dos Pinas and recommend that individuals who take the pandemic seriously consider carefully if they want to visit this restaurant that does not enforce the health order appropriately. I reported this situation to the Department of Public Health and hope they are in compliance going forward. At that time, I'll revisit this review.

Ordered $11 nachos- I know the price. I was desperate to find a Mexican food place in Portrero Hill. Sad to say they must've gave me the bottom of the chip bag chips because every single one of the chips were broken. I needed a fork to eat the nachos. Sigh. Frustrating. And I arrived early-my food was ready but the app didnt tell me and it had obviously been sitting and got cold. They had two huge piles of guac and sour cream on top which almost made up for the chips but not quite. Sorry guys-going to try another place.

Joshua G.

Every time I try to here, they are closed. They have grandpa hours and close at 8 in the evening! SF is known to be an awkwardly sleepy city with most spots doing last orders at 9 in the evening but 8 is super grandpa style!

They just introduced halal spicy rotisserie chicken also known as charga with authentic taste indo-latin style.

Ryan R.

I've been coming here since I was going to culinary school across the street in 2005. They have always been so nice and the food has been consistently delicious since as long as I can remember. The meat is so flavorful. The rice is perfectly fluffy and light. The produce is always fresh. I only wish they would figure out their margarita supplier and get strawberry margaritas back.

Steve R.

Yelp
I've been going to this Taqueria for more than 5 years because it's the neighborhood and I visit there at least twice a month. I always get the breakfast burrito with chorizo and today when I got the burrito it was half the size I've always gotten and the cashier wanted to debate with me to say that the breakfast burritos have always been that size. This place is ok however for the price I was getting but nothing compared to now what you can get in the Mission bigger and authentic Hispanic dishes. I got my money back because of the size & attitude and the fact there was no compromising after going there all these years. Patrons be mindful of the portions when you get your order to go. Taquerias in the Mission from now on for this paying customer.

Come to this restaurant all the time. And I looked at. I was in the neighborhood today and thought I would stop and get a fish taco. I got a fish taco and a beer and it was $16. It was a single fish taco with one piece of fish and I was told I could only have two little cups of salsa. The fish taco which obviously isn't in the picture cuz I ate it before I took a picture had a piece of fish cabbage and some sauce. It did not have any tomatoes or cilantro or onions or anything else. I was able to choose from mild, Green or hot salsa so I got green and hot. The food was mediocre at best and the minimum tip that you can leave here is 18% even though the person was busy doing something when I went to give my order and made me wait while she finished doing whatever it is that she was doing before I could order. I had to go pick up my order and I was told I could have two out of the three salsas. Sadly I'll probably never come back here. I used to love this place and it's food is kind of mediocre. I was so hungry I ate it before I took a picture and left hungry after spending $15 for a single fish taco and a beer.

So glad Dos Pinas reopened after a period of being closed because of Covid 19. Still the best burritos in the neighborhood of Potrero Hill. Come here at least once a week to grab lunch, staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming.

I used to come here almost every day, so this place brings back good memories. I love eating their burritos, oily quesadillas, fish tacos, and Santa Fe salads. Plus, free chips!!

Located around the corner from my co-working space, it's a great place for a quick fix of Mexican food or booze. My boss and I left work early one day and came here for drinks. They have specials advertised around the restaurant, but we just wanted beers on tap. I was constantly eyeing those margaritas, though... There's a good amount of seating here, especially for large groups. We sat at the barstools in the middle of the restaurant, which get good natural lighting during the day. We had a positive experience here. Nothing too special, though I know I'll be coming back in the future because it's so conveniently located. Seems solid with its reliable food, drinks, and service.

Yelp
We came here once and never came back the food was not very memorable we ordered the enchiladas and some carne asada tacos. The rice was bland, the beans were bland. The enchiladas sauce was bland and did not taste fresh. The carne asada tacos were ok but how can someone mess up carne asada tacos its just meat and tortillas. We also ordered the Horchata which was oddly milky and a little on the sweet side. Overall can be better the quest for a local Mexican taqueria that serves good food continues.

Ben M.

Yelp
I been coming here for over a decade, I remember when it was new, something like the Giants with Bonds and a world series. It's always been great. I used to live not so far away and would hit happy hour on my way home from work. Now I work close by and can hit or on my lunch break. Even when it's busy it never takes that long to order, eat and get back to work. I've also had catering from the company that runs the place. Not sure how many restaurants they have but they're all good. It's a great option. I love the street tacos and the burritos. One of my coworkers got the fish burrito in a bowl. It looked awesome. Going to have to try that next time. The one thing that bums me out is that they charge for chips, I feel like you should get some chips when you order food, not many places charge extra. They have good salsa, that almost makes up for it.

The three open-faced tacos for $5.25 was a decent deal, so I ordered my default al pastor tacos (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/HiNAV0gYGTARTxDQj9yyww?select=8Gqa2EfIoqiGhvUQVDFNuA) and couldn't finish because they were so flavorless. Granted I'm comparing to the popular taquerias and I had a cold but still, I've been to other taquerias when under the weather and had no problems finishing their versions of al pastor tacos. The honey lemonade I tried was bland too! I won't go out of the way to return but will give them another try if in the area and friends wanted to eat here; it is average, nothing memorable except a lack of ventilation and the place had a too-strong grease odor.

Matt G.

Yelp
I love Dave's "Insanity" Gourmet Hot Sauce with my meals. Any restaurants including taquerias that offer the lethal hot sauce shall get a high rating from me. This hot sauce is definitely not recommended for "wimps"! This taqueria is the only taqueria in the Bay Area that carries the specialty hot sauce. I love using the hot sauce in my burritos. And this is a one of the cleaner taquerias I've been to. There is a "South of the Border" feel with festive sombreros, colorful pictures and the mellow Latin music rockin' this place. The price for the super burritos is quite higher than most. But the extra cost is added to afford the available gourmet hot sauce. For $8.50, I chose the Grilled Steak Super Burrito. Despite the somewhat high price, it was a nice size "Silver Bullet" with the nicely grilled meat and fresh key ingredients. And with the spicy hot sauce adds an excitement to my meal. I also get a small bag of tortilla chips for $.50. It was a nice size bag and sealed too. My iced cold bottle of Corona was $4.50 to extinguish the flaming taste buds of mine. The restaurant also carries customized burritos too. On my next visit, I might try the "Pollo Kamikaze". That sounds good, huh? Expect a future update from me!

Naina S.

I got the Al Pastor torta from here and it was pretty good! I haven't tried more from the menu so my review reflects the torta that I ate. I think they do tortas pretty well and they have good bread and meat. They don't skimp out on the amount of filling at all and I always have a good bite. If you're looking for a good torta, I definitely recommend this place.

Yelp
Double trouble: Twice I've been here. Twice I've ordered the carne asada Santa Fe salad. Twice the flavors have been AWOL. Twice I've bathed that puppy in jalapenos and salsa Twice it's remained bland, uninteresting and one-dimensional. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice... yep. That's what happened.

I'm a fan of the Santa Fe Salad, but my last one it was pretty bad i ordered a carne asada one and the meat was though and very dry, so sad

I remember when this place opened, maybe like 10 years ago or so. I worked in the neighborhood and would pop over for tacos or burritos and loved it. The area had a couple places within walking distance of the Showplace Square but not as many as there are now. Some things have changed over the years, but business is still booming and the burritos are still good. I miss the collection of hot sauces along the walls and the salsa bar. They still have a couple good salsas and jalapenos and carrots. I definately loved my chicken burrito with avocado, was it authentico? Not really. It was more like gourmet-mex which is good too and often can be a healthier choice. It was the Chicken Avocado served with black beans and rice. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/HiNAV0gYGTARTxDQj9yyww?select=AZAvfugFEH7WG4kSZ3ulQg Plus I heard they have a happy hour which always puts a smile on my face. I gotta check them out.

Customer service was good and fast but the flavor of the food was what I didn't like. Also there was no chile given for two burritos and inside of one there was none either.

This has got to be the worst Mexican restaurant in the city. I ordered 2 Carne Asada burritos today. I have never had a burrito without salsa until today. Further, the cashier who was handling cash was also serving the tables. This is a basic food service no no. Buyer beware and avoid at all cost. There are better choices for Mexican food in the city.
