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!
