La Corneta Taqueria

Stopped by La Corneta today and I’m so glad I did! The place has that authentic neighborhood taqueria vibe, nothing fancy, just good honest Mexican food done right. I went with the super carne asada quesadilla and wow, this thing was massive! They definitely don’t skimp on the filling here. The carne asada was perfectly seasoned and tender, with just the right amount of char. The chips and salsa were a nice touch too. The green salsa had a good kick to it, and the red one was more smoky and mild. The location on 24th Street puts you right in the heart of the Mission, so it’s perfect for grabbing a bite while exploring the neighborhood. Will definitely be back to try their burritos next time!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Simple yet satisfying burritos made from traditional family recipes. I really enjoyed the chicken mole burrito, and the specialty pork was also excellent.

Huge menu with all the Mexican classics. Order at the long counter and everything is made on the spot. Fast service and they take credit cards! Bless. The burritos are big. Free chips and salsa with every order. Got 3 tacos - al pastor, carne asada, chicken. The chicken was flavorful and juicy. Al pastor was a little greasy. Tons of tables inside. TVs blasting news. Pretty good for groups.

Great place with great food! Outstanding selection of food on the menu and regular street tacos comes with beans which a lot of taquerias do not usually offer! Place was clean with a separate bar and tv screens playing soccer or baseball! Nice heathy portions at a great value, worth every penny! Place is spacious with food always hot and delicious!

Fire. 18 bucks for churro, burrito carne asada, horchata, and chip n salsa

amazing customer service!!!! great food - incredible salsas

This is my go to taqueria on Mission. The price is good and the food always tastes good as well. Good atmosphere and friendly staff. Helen always welcome us with a smile.

Of the best restaurants in the area, the food was delicious and the attention 100/10. It was a nice experience to visit them and their customer service was excellent. I was attended by Gely and Sarahi, they were very kind and attentive

While enjoying grandstand seating at SF's Carnaval the man beside me returned to his seat with a bag of Mexican food. When he began eating the chips and salsa I got nosy. "Where's that from?" I asked. I'd been eyeing La Corneta, behind me on the riser, and though I saw the overall yelp rating was under 4 stars I was heartened to notice that some trusted yelpers had rated it higher. Then the guy beside me took out a a very big, foil-wrapped burrito and began consuming it. "What are you eating?" I asked now. Taking nothing from Carnaval, let me just say that his Al Pastor Super Burrito looked as good as many of the barely clad Samba dancers parading past. I was going to La Corneta soon. Then another thing happened. "Would you like these 3 Super Chicken Tacos we got? We're leaving soon, can't eat anymore, and don't want to carry them around." So there IS such a thing as a free lunch. He asked only that I pay it forward. Simply delicious, two of us consumed this boxful of tacos with forks, also enjoying the two different salsas and chips that were included with the tacos. I've never been inside of La Corneta but I've no doubt I will be one day. And when I am? Maybe you'll be in line behind me, surprised and delighted to find that your lunch has already been paid for.

Awesome spot. Service is fast and super friendly, and the tacos themselves are absolutely massive for the price. Definitely some of the largest tacos you can get in the Mission, and without a wait. The carne was my favorite, the best I've had in SF. Super flavorful and tender. The other meats were solid too; definitely recommend both the carnitas and the al pastor. Their pickled onions are absolutely amazing. Definitely ask for a ton of those, since they don't have a self serve area for them. Overall, great underrated spot in the Mission. Definitely give them a try over the standard big names next time.

La Corneta just catered a party for me, and it was awesome. They made everything super simple, delivered the food, and brought in a server who handled everything. The food was great. Everything was as promised. The price was great. And we had leftovers for days. I had a really hard time finding catering options among SF taquerias, and La Corneta really stood out. Thanks!!

I've been to a few events that had been catered by La Corneta's "Build Your Own Two Bar" and have always loved the food selection and freshness. For my 50th birthday I decided on doing the same. Working with Joel from catering was super easy. Setup and delivery was quick (15 person minimum for delivery - be aware, but it was TOTALLY worth it). The food was hot, fresh, and delicious. My guests had more than enough to eat, we fed the bar staff, and had enough leftovers for multiple meals after (I'm on my 2nd lunch and it reheats beautifully). Everyone was raving about the food (the chicken and guacamole were a special hit). Amazing Value and delicious food!!

Is Corneta expensive? Yes. Brought a friend from LA here and he was appalled that I was paying $8 for two tacos, but I told him this is San Francisco, whaddu expect? Is there always a hella long wait? Also yes. Will the bright interior and exterior and the fact that it's right on Mission Street draw you in? Probably. I personally don't eat here, but it's ultimately up to you to decide whether it's worth your time!

It's a casual place where the food comes out fast! The music is pretty loud so it can be a bit hard to talk normally in the main areas. They're generous with their portions and give free chips! This time around, I thought the meat was a little tough on the tacos.

La Corneta Taqueria is one of my go to Taqueria's for quick food delivered or picked up. Although I mostly order from the Glen Park location, I often order from the Mission Street location for Catering. My go to orders are the following: - Surf & Turf Super Burrito, love the big prawns. -Nachos, I love them. When I was pregnant I had cravings for Nachos and would make a meal of these. Still love them. - Chile Relleno Burritos! So savory and delicious. - Tostada de Ceviche, for $4.75 - good and inexpensive fish or shrimp ceviche. I love, love, love the salsas (especially the orange habanero one) and pickled onions with habaneros. I like it spicy, but they also have other salsas that are so flavorful.

When you walk in it's a pleasant and colorful place, the service is regular. I had a super steak baby burrito, when I say this I am not exaggerating, the meat had absolutely no taste to it, completely bland. Seems like they cooked it without seasoning it. Worse burrito ever. I'm not sure if the Corneta on Diamond st. is the same owner, but that location got it down, perfectly seasoned meat. I'm confused, are they the same?

The value here is incredible. The food is excellent especially the salmon quesadilla. The agua Frescas seem to be made in house and are really good. The murals are amazing. Can't recommend this place enough. For the money this place is above and beyond.

Great place! We were greeted as soon as we walked in as you have to go to the counter order your food then pay at the end of the counter. The menu has a lot of options but we ordered tacos and my husband ordered quesabirria tacos. We also ordered a Jamaica water. The place is pretty big with plenty of seating and a little loud since it's busy but nothing you can't handle. My husband said they were one of the best quesabirria he's had in a while so he was happy. I ordered 1 chicken mole taco and it was very interesting but good. We will be back again!

We got one taco each to share and it was okay. No one really spoke English so it was hard to navigate but that's okay. The food was large portions but pretty bland, wouldn't get it again. The vibes were nice and lovely, tons of people chatting around and it really gave authentic vibes. Overall wouldn't come back for the food and maybe for the vibes.

I get major nostalgia going to this place as I still remember this being the go to place eat after church with my family & abuelita. Food & service is still very good. We got 2 especial burritos de carne asada, una quesadilla de salmón, y una quesadilla de hongo. This place also gives complimentary chips & salsa. All was very flavorful & staff is friendly. Will come again!

Went here yesterday and this place was great. Nice and lively with some music playing at a lower volume than usual. The staff was very friendly and helpful since it was my first time there. The food was great. i got a carne asada plate with some chicken on the side and a sangria

I have a soft spot for La Corneta, especially this location, because I used to work across the street. There's less seating now (no doubt a lasting effect from the pandemic) but it's still a large space and plenty of patrons dining with us on a Thursday evening after work. Service is still fast and friendly. After you place your order, you'll walk to the end of the counter to tell the cashier your order, pay, and collect your drinks. I like their agua frescas and went with a small jamaica. Pick your seats and they'll deliver your food to you! My go-to meat is carnitas and I chose it as my protein for my huge platter of super nachos. Pretty good, but not like I remember - their tortilla chips seem thicker, but still good corn flavor!. Some misses - no self-serve salsa station like the old days, and the bathroom could be maintained better. When in the neighborhood though, La Corneta is always an option!

The food is good, too bad the delivery service is not. I ordered through the La Corneta website. Not only did I not get my horchata, but they got the order wrong. The delivery driver takes no responsibility, the restaurant takes no responsibility, so I am stuck with the $4 delivery fee and the $8 tip and no drink and the wrong order. SKIP. IT.

Came back here again for the same burrito! It's becoming one of my favorite spots to hit up on the mission. Definitely try the super burrito with the spinach tortilla! The spinach falls apart a little more but it's delicious!

Hands down the best burrito anywhere in the Bay. LOVE that they have the baby size so you can actually finish the burrito while still having the options for any filling. I appreciate the variety of tortilla, beans, and meat options. The best part is their salsamole. Heavenly. You need at least 3 containers to have a bit on every bite!

so much meat in all the tacos! they gave a mountain of salsa and complimentary chips in my takeout order too. wouldn't recommend getting flour tortilla because it was soggy and falling apart by the time my grubhub got to me, but the corn tortillas held up well.

been coming here since I was a kid the burritos are the best in the city. no doubt about it! The ambience is great. The seating area is warm and friendly. The staff are nice.

I will never stop coming here. I absolutely love the shrimp tacos and the salmon quesadilla. The seafood is so fresh and flavorful, and you get a lot of bang for your buck. You are also served complimentary chips and salsa, which can be rare nowadays. The murals on the wall are also beautiful, overall a wonderful place.

Whenever I'm in SF visiting, I always have to stop by La Corneta! My bf was the one that first introduced me to this restaurant bc his family would go here all the time and this place did not miss. The food is a great portion for what you pay, always served hot and fresh, and the service is pretty quick. Also you get free chips and salsa, yum! Last time I came was with my bf and some friends. I got the chili relleno ad my bf got the chicken asada dinner and we both got a jarritos. Total came to $40, not too bad. Whenever I'm in sf with friends, I always recommend this restaurant because the food is always so tasty.

The Mission native who introduced me to La Corneta sixteen years ago has long since moved to Vacaville. I had visited only a few times between that original 2008 group dinner and 2022, and then my flat burned down in early 2023, and I didn't have a real place to live in San Francisco until fate smiled upon my roommate and me in May 2023, when we snagged a place in the Mission a few blocks from La Corneta. Since then, I've been a dozen times, maybe more. The food is still excellent. The ingredients are fresh, and when I call in my order, it's always waiting when I arrive, and when I get back to my apartment, the order is always correct. (More than I can say for El Farolito.) They have more vegetarian options than I remember, but not as many as I want. But it's consistent. My roommate scoffs at La Corneta's high prices (for what it is), but I'll take supporting this lovely local chain and its friendly workers over the cheap-but-you-get-what-you-pay-for El Faro-El Farolito San Francisco empire any day. And it's not as expensive as some other places that are even closer to my apartment. I wanted to raise the rating to five stars, but while nighttime meals might be enjoyable here (if there's not a soccer game on TV), it's really really really hectic and loud during the day. It's not annoying when you're waiting for your food, but I like to sit and savor my food and sometimes to read while I eat, and I just can't imagine putting up with the noise here. And again, if there's a soccer game on, forget it. They're remodeling their bar area, so maybe I'll have to re-review soon. My four-star rating remains. Here's to many more La Corneta super vegetarian tostadas eaten in the peace and quiet of my new building.

More than worth the visit and price. They have a fantastic menu selection, including vegan options. The combination plate #4 was full of big amounts of Carne asada, chicken and prawns. It also came with a foil wrapped handful of corn tortillas. We've been here once before, and will definitely be returning again, and again...and again. Parking is hit or miss. It's San Francisco, so that's a given. If you can take bart to this location, get off at 24th and mission.

Last week I went on Grubhub to place an order. Unfortunately I placed the order for the Mission location. I meant to place it for the Glen Park location. There was no way to cancel the order online. Great! I called the Mission location and spoke to Miguel. He assured me that he would transfer my order to the other SF location. At 12:30 pm, I walked into the Glen Park location fully expecting to be told that my order wasn't there. It was there! 100% correct and absolutely on time. Yay!!! Thanks to Miguel and the staff of La Corneta Glen Park. You all made my mistake disappear. The food was great as always. I've been coming here since the 90's. My go tos are the chile rellenos, the carne asada and the carnitas burritos. Actually, I've never had a bad meal here.

I have been coming here for years and ALWAYS enjoy the staff and the magnificent food prepared fresh to order.. I was away for 8 years for work and this place was one of the things I missed the most. I am so glad to be back and see the quality of food and the courtesy of the staff hasn't changed.

Good food and quick service. The meat was extremely tender, juicy and flavorful. Large open space with plenty of seating, and just finish your meal and leave. Free chips and salsa with every purchase. Tried the beef tongue taco, which as super soft and tender. Next time I would get a burrito tho, it seems like a lot more value and food for the price. Overall, good spot and would recommend going.

I ordered the super breakfast burrito from La Corneta Taqueria for my dinner, and let me tell you, it was HUGE! We are group of five people, I was the second to ordered, but I am the last one to receive my burrito, waiting a bit longer than the rest of my group because we all ordered different things. I understood that each order is freshly made, so no complaints. The portion was incredibly generous, and the burrito itself was packed with crispy bacon goodie. It was filling, flavorful, and everything you could want in a breakfast burrito.

the food is good i've been coming here since i was a kid so i give that 4 stars but the lady who took my order was rude for no reason . i spoke to her in spanish because im mexican and its a MEXICAN food place ( literally in Mission ) And she gave me the nastiest attitude. Like for what girl ??whats the issue , i was respectful and nice so i don't get the ugly attitude?? so watch out for her because she's nice to men but apparently not women.

Ordered a steak and shrimp burrito online through their grub hub. Super filling and yummy. Was ready to pick up in 10 minutes! Will definitely try again when I'm in the mission.

I've typically been satisfied with La Corneta, but they missed the mark today. I ordered a regular burrito: meat, beans, rice, and salsa. No beans. Add guacamole. The person taking the order said guacamole is extra. Yes $1.50, that's fine! Brought it home & there was no guacamole or salsa. Dry as can be. Very disappointed.

I usually find the food here good, fresh and tasty and yesterday the food was good as well. My group of 5 ordered some main entrees and tacos and steak and shrimp and all were happy with their choices. I am giving this taqueria 1 star because the wait was long considering that there were not a lot of people in the restaurant. When it was our turn to order, we waited for like 10 minutes before anybody took our order. The reason for this was because the people behind the counter were busy making orders for the to go crowd or online orders. I know they want to have the orders ready for when people show up to pick up but it is ridiculous that the clients who are actually in the restaurant and who are going to dine in have to wait until everybody else gets served.

Consistent quality and service; fast and delicious- i love the super prawn tacos - a great smaller but satisfying meal!

The team at La Corneta did a phenomenal job of swooping in to save me from a taco order debacle! I had a big event tonight for 100 people and needed 200 tacos, which I ordered from a more catering-based taqueria. That taqueria quoted me the wrong price, charged my credit card double, and refused to make the tacos at the original price which left me having to cancel my order hours before my event. I called La Corneta and they were unbelievably helpful in strategizing solutions and making my order happen within hours! All of the tacos were delicious but they did a particularly good job with the vegetarian ones which they made almost burrito-like for the benefit of the kids: rice, beans and LOTS of melted cheese. They had everything packaged up on time and so well-organized, and they event helped carry it out to my car and load it up. Every person at the event was satisfied with their meal and impressed at the amount of food: so much salsa, chips, and more. I'm so grateful that La Corneta saved me today because it gave me the opportunity to re-discover their fantastic tacos and make me a forever fan!

Went out on a limb and decided to try a new spot. Unbelievable - they got the quality and quantity. Only meal of the day.

I got the carne asada super nachos which were great. They spaced out all the toppings well and the meat was tender and flavorful. Unfortunately they did get 2 out of 4 orders in our party wrong as they put in the wrong meat. My friends didn't want to complain as staff was very busy, but it was disappointing as we were excited to try out different items on the menu.

I've been looking but couldn't find chocolate flan. The two bakeries had it but stopped making it. Maybe no one was buying them. Tres leches is more in popular. I was going to go to every bakery shop in the mission. I googled and yelped without any luck. i started my hunt on Mission from 24th street. Went in here and saw it! The hunt is over! This was $4.62. Behind the cashier in the refrig. They make it themselves. It was great. Not too sweet. Could be a bit creamier but i will not complain!

Made the mistake of adding beans to the tacos. The beans really detracted from the flavors of the meat. The meats were also very dry. The tacos are large size, but unfortunately, they were not very tasty. The salsas weee also just alright. The ceviche was good tho. Overall, disappointing.

I came in and ordered the super vegetarian burrito to go. The women behind the bar were super friendly, and made my order up fast. I walked home about ten minutes away, and once I took my burrito out of the bag I immediately noticed a distinct cool spot through the foil wrap. Upon taking the first bite I got all beans and not much else. The flavors were good but overall the ingredients on the inside were cool and barely warm. The cheese had not even melted inside the burrito. Perhaps if you order a burrito from here it would be best to eat it on the spot. Otherwise everything was great in terms of service and quality of freshness.

This was a nice little taqueria that was our first stop on a food tour we took through the Mission. After the sharing some chips and salsa (chips were fresh and delicious), my gf and I ordered a burrito each, a carnitas for me and a chicken mole for her. I am on a perennial quest to find my favorite carnitas. This burrito did not contain them, but I appreciated the flavor and quantity of the pork (even if it was a little on the dry side). My gf's mole was much better. The mole sauce was subtle rather than overpoweringly sweet, which I appreciated (as did my gf) and generally delicious. Both burritos were well mixed, especially with respect to sour cream (big globs of which I do not prefer). The beans were also very nicely done, silky and soft. Across the burritos, my overall response was one of comfortable pleasure (situated nicely between the boredom of burrito-as-usual and over-the-top maelstrom in a wrap). In terms of the restaurant's ambiance, I like the open space of the seating area as well as the bar. I would come back here to have a drink (pending beer and/or tequila list, which I did not investigate).

The food here is very very good and the service is better! I keep on coming back for a great deal...the tacos are good for a light meal. You only need one. Chips with two choices of salsa included! The management went out of their way to make me feel at home because they are happy and good spirited types of people. I'll come here whenever I'm in the Mission! Kitty

This restaurant came highly recommended to me by my little neighbor friend lol So we decided to come hit this spot up. She was my tour guide. This venue is located in the Heart of the Mission District. My neighbor friend told me that after her baptism her parents treated everyone to this spot for food. Ok neighbor let's do it!!! We found parking rt around the corner GOOD DEAL I was low key getting worried about parking because there is not a private parking lot and it was a Sunday and the street was busy We walked in. Place was nice and clean and we were the only customers in there. That changed real quick. Before I knew it the place was kinda crowded but still Covid friendly I ordered a grilled chicken burrito to go of course and with extra salsa roja on the side The wait was about 10 min Not too bad Got home and ate my burrito. Burrito is a decent size. I actually had to break it down into 2 servings Pretty tasty. Salsa is good. You know I always say if the salsa is good the food is good I will def come back here again and try other items. This is a cool spot with authentic Mexican cuisine

I ordered the Super Fish Nachos and this was what was delivered to me. It was spoiled, rotting and smells like it went bad a week ago. You guys can't be serious?

It pains me to write this review, because their food is delicious. I usually order a super baby burrito which is generally filling. Unfortunately this time around it was tiny. It fit in the palm of my hand. It should have been called a super baby baby burrito because it was so small and expensive!!

It's the chile verde taco for me!! It was so good. A bit cumbersome. Couldn't really eat it like a taco because the sauce saturated the tortillas so much. Maybe that wouldn't have been the case of it wasn't delivered, can't say for sure. Anyway, the chile verde was a little bit spicy (might've been the hot sauce I had added to my order - specifically "hot") and I paired it with whole beans. That added squirt off lime makes it over the top yum. I could definitely eat more of those! I also got a regular burrito with chicken mole. It was so-so. The flour tortillas they use are the thinner ones that taste a little gummy to me after a while. The mole was not to my liking, something about it tasted off like maybe the chicken wasn't great quality or the seasoning blend could use tweaking. It wasn't bad, I just didn't really enjoy it. Kiddo got a regular carne Asada burrito. She said it was good and finished most of it. The chile verde was enough to make me want to go try them again and maybe try some other menu options.

There's shreded lettuce in the burrito, the quesadilla and the nachos. Nothing like warm soggy lettuce in your food. Our fault for not reading the line item but who puts shredded lettuce.

We came in last summer and ordered burritos. You come in and order at the counter. You can eat in or take out. They have water available at the counter, which is helpful in case your food is spicy (and you're like me and you need water when things get a bit spicy). We sat outside at their curbside seating. The burrito was really good. I ordered a straightforward burrito without too many things inside, not even meat, and it was just what I needed. The salsa was great too. There is a lot of space inside (but we felt like sitting outside). I look forward to coming back.

Without a doubt the most disgusting pollo en verde burrito I have ever eaten. The background: dropping by after a double shift of painting & cleaning. There's no one in line but they ask me to wait, for about 8-10 minutes before I order. I had the time and was stoked on my friend's recommendation. So I waited. While waiting I witnessed handling of food with bare hands, handling cash and food without hand washing or gloves in between, dumping used rice from a tortilla back into the scooping tin. Basically an unsanitary cooking environment. Regardless I was going to order a with high hopes that it would be good. My burrito was served pretty quick and I brought it home with me. The eating: Solid first two bites no salsa needed. Third bite, trouble to be found. Extremely dry flavorless burrito with hardly any beans, just dry, overcooked, sauceless chicken. Within two hours of eating I had already fully digested the mea, unhappily. I won't be returning. 2/5

Today I ordered a super burrito with shrimp and steak with everything, a quesadilla super with shrimp and steak, and a quesabirra. HOW DISAPPOINTING IT WAS TO EAT THIS FOOD and if what was sold to me is considered a quesabirra, well damn something is truly wrong with the world. - Super burrito: was way too "super" is was a sloppy soggy mess. I guess whoever they have has cooks who aren't measuring the portions, It was so soggy that the tortillas were ripping from the sides and not even halfway in the burrito itself unraveled. Very disappointing. I wasn't even able to finish it because it fell apart into the bag. Another side note was that the avocado used in this burrito was bad (tasted old or rotten). -Super quesadilla: NOTHING SUPER about it, They used a regular-sized tortilla put cheese, and called it a day. The overall taste was sad and basic and the appearance of the dish matched the taste. Very consistent in being sad and disappointing -quesabirra: (only tried it because someone recommended it- they know nothing about quesabirras nor have had a properly made one) Please don't even waste your money on this taco. This taco killed me when I saw it. One regular-sized tortilla with cheese and meat (they tried their best to season the meat) Overall this taco looks like an elementary student made it. No flavor or soup which is something regular that comes with this dish EVERYWHERE you go. Either way, I'm sure the birra broth would taste like water. Overall sad, and a waste of money. Please save your Monday and go elsewhere. THIS PLACE ( USE ) TO BE GOOD BUT NOT ANYMORE
