La Laguna

I love this place! Been going here for years for their nachos! They use real nacho cheese with other cheeses on their nachos. Best nachos out there. I’ve been coming here for 20 years. Ray the owner and his staff are amazing. They also do catering as well. Definitely check out La Laguna Taqueria on 3rd Street Bayview. Their food is amazing. Photos are of shredded chicken and shrimp nachos. Sooo delicious.

This was the only place I was seeing to eat for a few blocks, I stopped in, the place looked clean. I order, the service is fantastic and friendly. I go to the restroom. It’s the only bathroom in SF that doesn’t smell like sewer. It smells clean and fantastic. I walk out of the bathroom, I am barely sitting down and they are walking out with my food. The crane asada tacos? FANTASTIC. The rice? PERFECT. The beans? AMAZING. Sometimes when you end up in SF you get this weird gentrified garbage that removes skill and flavor, not this place. So much flavor. So balanced. So good. The chips are perfect. The salsa tastes amazing and is the perfect texture. Plenty of space to sit. Amazing. Just amazing. So so so good.

Enjoyed the horchata, burrito and torta - lovely to connect with Ray who has this restaurant for 25 years in the Bayview. Thank you 🙏🤗

This place is disgusting I’ll never go here again. Not only is chips not included the super quesadilla was extremely greasy. I ate some and threw it away because my stomach started hurting. They also charged me $17 for this and it wasn’t even a super quesadilla. Just meat and cheese with pico de gallo/ crema on the side. Then the restaurant isn’t even all that clean don’t eat here no one eats here and I see why 🤮🤮

Beware scam restraunt, they secretly added another $4 to my order bringing the total near $20 for a burrito without any additional add ons.(the receipt is the shady non itemized type with just a total). And if you ask for more salsa there's an extra charge If you ask for chips there's an extra charge for that too Over priced while serving average food

I don't know how to start this. Look at the picture. The lamest quesadilla I ever had in my life not bad in flavor. But come on. For 18 that they charge, I expect at least an average shimp quesadilla. No chips. Only two cups of salsa. The green was alright. The red one tastes like an old can of pasta sauce. Horrible. Make yourself a favor and go across the street to get some decent food. UPDATE: I got diarrhea

Great food, fast service and nice clean restaurant. I had the enchilada plate and these were the best I ever had! Will be definitely back.

Such a great place to grab a bite! I usually order the supreme quesadilla w either beef or grilled chicken. Recently a coworker made up a secret menu meal called the “guero special” which is basically a flauta plate but with flour tortillas instead of corn. - a must try, that even the owner had to try himself and he approved.

Stopped by La Laguna Taqueria after volunteering at the Marin Food Bank with some coworkers in the morning. The man behind the counter (presumably the owner) was incredibly inviting and friendly, and full of great recommendations. This place is apparently known for their carnitas, but unfortunately, I don't eat pork and was unable to try it. I opted instead for two simple Carne Asada Tacos. The Carne Asada definitely wasn't the best I've ever had (I usually prefer my carne asada with a slight char, but I really appreciated how much they fulled up their tacos with meat, it was almost overflowing, my boss even made four full looking tacos with the two stacked tortillas. The tomatillo sauce on top was also very spicy and flavorful, which made the tacos even better. Definitely will come back when I volunteer again, if for nothing else but support a great small business in the area.

I stumbled across this place when looking for a burrito near my workplace. I started this job during the pandemic, so I had only been to my office 2x. I headed over to La Laguna and Ray greeted me with such friendliness! First of all - the lengua at this place is the BEST lengua I have ever had!!! The way it's grilled makes for such an amazing texture. It's still soft, but has a grilled and slightly toasted texture and taste. Second, I ordered a shrimp burrito that was perfect. Absolutely perfect. Now I just wish they had a location in oakland!

La Laguna Taqueria is a Bayview favorite of mine, been here a couple times and the food has been fast and good. I am told that they have been open for delivery during covis, but have not been lately. Miss my taco Tuesday... I may not have taken the best pics at La Leguna, but the food is consistently good and filling. The pics just make me want another burrito and feel full at the same time, I'm confused. One favor - a little spicier hot sauce option. I need spiciness to go with this. ;)

Quesadilla are really good burritos are priced very well under 15$ that's what I usually get but I got something different this time and the quesadillas are bomb I like it because it's local as well

The food here is OK. Came in because our kids were hungry and they chose to eat Mexican while we were walking Sunday streets. Ordered a carne asada burrito and a regular cheese quesadilla on corn tortilla. Menu does not list that it has a SUPER HOT salsa in the burrito. I found that out when my order came. Few bites in and my mouth was burning. I don't do spicy foods. I can do mild but not spicy. I couldn't taste my food it was so hot. I went back and the lady at the counter said she did mention there would be salsa in there but I guess when she mentioned it I didn't realize it would be hot salsa. Ordered something else since I could not eat my food. This time I ordered a carnitas quesadilla. The food was OK. A little too salty for my pallet. The corn quesadilla was good. Cheap like a little under $3. If I could do it again I would've just ordered 3 regular corn quesadillas. Was able to taste the burrito my husband ordered. A carnitas burrito. Was not as spicy as mine but was still spicy. To sum it up, I probably would not go back to this restaurant unless I was in the area. Even then I may want to check out another eatery before coming here. Not too sure about parking. Since we walked but I'm guessing it's street parking. Located in a big building. Quiet inside, no music blaring. Lots of seats, mostly empty. Bathroom was pretty clean.

Experience from 8/17/2017 La Laguna Taqueria is awesome and the guy at the register is very friendly. It is good to have a taqueria in the neighborhood. This is because for anyone craving for burritos, nachos, quesadillas or tacos, La Laguna Taqueria got you covered. I have been meaning to order a burrito from here. So I finally did. I came in for a burrito and ordered one with shredded chicken, rice, beans and cheese. The portion size of the burrito is quite generous. A large tortilla means more room for any extra ingredients I choose. This is something I really like. This meal portion sizing is good enough to satisfy my large lunch craving. I will have to come in, order and try other items from the menu. Spacious facility, good food and good service. Work nearby? This is it. It's one of the eateries to eat at. I am impressed with how friendly the guy was. Service was relatively quick, I didn't have to wait very long either. Just for this alone, props and bonus points so I will be back. Overall, positive experience here.

Don't you hate when you go to a meeting and they have you sign up to make sure that food is available for everyone, then by the time you arrive, you realize everyone and they momma decided to show up because they knew that food was going to be available? So, the people that signed up REALLY don't even get a chance in the food line because, by the time they arrive, the food is ALL GONE! **That sh!t drives me bonkers!** Well, today was no different. I showed up to a graduation ceremony and ALL the food was gone before the event even started. So, you already know what I did, right? Yup! I snuck out the back door and went to find me my OWN dang lunch! Two tears in a bucket...You know the rest! Thank goodness for La Laguna Taqueria; A 3 min walk saved me! I quickly noticed that the restaurant was empty with a large dining area. My co-worker and I were able to talk and laugh as loud as we wanted. From the time I walked in customer service was phenomenal. The lady spoke to me in Spanish and even understand my broken Spanglish. My co-worker ordered a shrimp plate and I went for their delicious lengua and shrimp tacos with a side of rice. I was extra hungry so I even ordered the chips and salsa as well. Not going to lie, I was pretty disappointed that chips and salsa were not on the house although we decided to eat at the restaurant. Maybe I'm just used to chips and salsa being free with your meal. (Shrugs) This place was DELICIOUS! The prices were reasonable and the service was amazing. I definitely wouldn't hesitate to come back here again when I am in the area. Next time, I think I'm going to try those humongous burritos! They seem to be bigger than my dang arm. Whoo!

Ray is awesome and the burritos are delicious. Carne asada, shrimp and the breakfast burritos are even better.

This is the first taqueria that actually has low-carb options on the menu! A huge selling point for people watching their carb count. The main man upfront is friendly, fun & very helpful (he may be the owner). The place could use a bit more light & ventilation, but the food is good! Very flavorful & fresh. Not to shabby on the price for what you get (portion & quality-wise). I'm new to this location, but will definitely be back.

Went here on cinco de Mayo with the fam because we were Enjoying Sf Sunday streets, it stretched from 22nd all the way to Carroll ave. We didn't bring our bikes so walking from 22nd this was the first restaurant we reached. My son was super hungry so we decided to stop here to eat. On a normal day it looks like it is street parking only. We ordered a super carnitas burrito, baby burrito plate, and a carne asada quesadilla. Cashier was very friendly and patient with us since we were not familiar with their menu. We also received complimentary chips and salsa for dining in. Super carnitas burrito: 3 stars, was a very good size and tasted good however carnitas was a tad salty. Baby burrito plate: 3 stars, daughter said it was good but she wasn't like it was super yummy to her. It was also a very good size portion as it comes with 2 small burritos Carne asada quesadilla: 3 stars, was also a good size, steak was good however it was kind of bland and was mostly just spicy. So overall to me just another average place, but worth the visit is you are in the area and are having cravings for a burrito.

Place is cheap and clean. No lime. Burritos good. Tried nachos. But the cheese they use is from what feels like a can. It's not actual cheese. Next time I'll ask for real cheese instead because it feels like the cheese sauce from a gas station. Service is quick and good.

Came on a Friday when they had a tent set up outside of Speakeasy Ales & Lagers. * Carnitas - 4 stars pic: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/la-laguna-taqueria-san-francisco?select=8NN94dS_H-cor1or9M4kTw#8NN94dS_H-cor1or9M4kTw Very salty shredded meat, more crisped texture than other places where it's more tender/moist. You normally get two tacos for $5, but I offered to pay $3 for a single and they let me do that. The meat comes on two soft and tasty tortillas. And the red salsa was chunky, legit spicy, and tasted great with the carnitas, onions, and cilantro.

I had not been to this Taqueria for a few years- glad i made it back though. Super veg burrito was delicious, prices were unbeatable, and the place and staff are really chill. IMO this is THE SPOT in this neighborhood. Thanks La Laguna!

La Laguna has very good Mexican food, nice staff, and always has soccer on the TV set. I've been coming here for years, and the owner has always made us feel right at home. I suggest that you stop by a Taco Tuesday, $1 tacos while supplies last. This place is in the industrial section of San Francisco, so don't expect the decor to be up to high standard. Overall, the food is very good and the spicy salsa with chips always comes thru!

The day after Donald Trump's presidential inauguration, a number of protests throughout various parts of the United States including the Bay Area and intermittent rain here in San Francisco, January 21st was not the best day to go out. Even with the ongoing events and stormy weather, those do not stop me from craving a burrito. For my craving, I need to travel to the Bayview/Hunter's point area to a spacious taqueria which is very quiet and a neighborhood that does not have a lot of activities. With the rainy elements, many people like to stay home. Not me. For lunch, I had the grilled steak Super burrito for $8.75. The meat was cut into cubes and not too burnt. And you get a huge chunk fit into that large flour tortilla, along with the other fresh key ingredients. I also ordered a $5.00 bottle of Speakeasy "Big Daddy" IPA. This is the first taqueria that sells the San Francisco micro-brew. It is definitely a difference maker. The family working there and cooked my meal were very nice to Joe Cool. Bayview/Hunter's point area may not be a safe area. But I definitely feel welcomed here.

Good Mexi here. After perusing the menu; I ordered their chicken enchilada plate. After a brief 12 minutes, it arrived looking well made, like made with pride! Two chicken enchilada's come with a dab of crema on top; paired with a side salad of fresh slices of avocado, radish, pickled carrots, a small slice of lime, and one fresh tomato slice. Choice of beans: pinto, refried or black beans. Clean tasting food here. Quality ingredients. Clean place. Parking: street or across the street. Customer service: good Tip: Ladies go in groups. Tip 2: sketchy at night.

It's alright, the burritos were good but not enough to fill me up. I ordered 2 steak super burritos and my total came out to $30. The price is reasonable but unreasonable when the burritos weren't enough to fill me up.

La Laguna's draw is taco tuesday (1), large dining room, flatscreen tuned to Cnn, free chips & salsa when dining in. eats: beef burrito (5.65) -standard rice, beans, and salsa adequate. -beef dry, overfried, chewy, almost not fresh. (tasted like day leftovers) 2.5 stars frijoles refritos: -gringos and amigos present -pricing average for s.f., not cheap, not too pricey. -parking so so -other meats may be better, didn't see meat listing. -very efficient ordering system, friendly service.

This is definitely the best taqueria in the Bayview, and I feel it rivals some of the best in the Mission as well. I work just down the street, and have turned this into one of my more frequented lunch spots. The food is awesome (and consistent), and the staff are always friendly. I've also never had an incorrect order here, which is nice! All of the meats are juicy and flavorful, and the shrimp are always cooked perfectly. The nachos, salads, and any of the shrimp dishes are particular favorites. I am, indeed, aware that nachos aren't exactly a Mexican creation, but who the Hell cares? They are awesome!

This is always the go to place for consistently good Mexican food when in Bayview for work. COVID control on-line ordering has the complete menu for pickup, food is ready fast. The routine favorite for me is the Carnitas burrito, the right balance of pork, beans and rice, or any way you it. I've been in and out of this place for ten years now, always good, always reasonably priced. I'm glad their still here.

La Laguna is a place you could drive by and you would never have a clue what you were missing out on. It's directly on third street and is a great place to eat. The owner and staff are always welcoming and truly pleasant in my experiences. I would definitely recommend ordering ahead because they can get very busy around noon and many people already call ahead which will make your wait time longer if you don't. Definitely give it a shot.

My husband seemed to think the food was amazing. Not exactly my thing, but he loved it. It has a sweet familial vibe. I liked my green chili cheese enchiladas.

Clean, friendly, quality and value.   My first time to the neighborhood taqueria and was very impressed. Got the vegetarian super burrito with black beans and chips and salsa. A surplus of food bursting with flavor.  Chips were fresh, but not greasy.   Salsa was green, mild and not too spicy.  The friendly staff greeted me with a smile, warm and welcoming. All for $8.75. A memorable, delicious, celebratory cheat lunch meal from my normal intermittent fasting routine.

Came here for their burrito and their Tuesday Tacos. Their service is slow. Waited for a long time for a burrito when there was no one in line. Waited 10 minutes for a few tacos when there were only 3 people in line. The food is OK, but there isn't much choice out here at all.

Gave me one salsa for 7 tacos. Now thats just disrespectful, which is why i am giving this review

Stopped by yesterday to pickup (takeout) two carnitas plates for dinner. As always the food was fantastic! The owner and staff go out of their way to provide the best experience and I am glad that they are open during this shutdown. I would highly recommend you stop by and give them a try. I've been eating here for 10 years and have never been disappointed.

Best no-nonsense Mexican food in SF. Ignore any best places list that says otherwise.

The only thing that I like from this place is the chile verde. I've had their shrimp dishes and burritos but I've had better. Every time I've gone there they are out of something. It's best to go earlier in the day to make sure they have what you want. The owner is super nice and service is great when he's there.

I've been travelling to San Fran quite a bit over the past year, and I can honestly say that I go to La Laguna at least twice a week when I am there. The food is good, cheap and quick. The owner greets us with a smile every time and seems to remember us even if it's been months since our last visit. Tasty Taco Tuesday is a must, but I always try to go another day of the week as well so I don't force myself to get the $1 tacos. My usual meats are Chorizo, Lengua, and Al Pastor. The Chile Verde is delicious, but FYI, they don't offer that on Tuesdays. A bonus for this place? Lots of free parking in the lot across the street. No driving around looking for a spot and then having to pay a quarter for 6 or 8 minute increments. Oh, and don't forget your Mexican Coke.

The food is delicious and the tacos are so good The carrnitas super burrito is awesome. Taco Tuesdays phenomenal.

Amazing. I usually get Subway which is across the way, but decided to give La Laguna Taqueria a try. Great decision! I am from Southern California and am used to the quality of Mexican food down there and would have to say La Laguna is above par. Told my gf about them and she said I have to bring home 2 breakfast burritos for dinner! Owner is super nice and he even packaged the hot sauce in a ziplock bag with ice so that it stays fresh on my bart ride home strong recommend

I'm still looking for the Lagoon in Bayview/Hunter's Point... Are they talking about India Basin? Sounds "fishy". I'm gonna be completely forthcoming. I've only had their quesadillas, and they've only been at places outside of the business. They were REALLY REALLY good! Not just stuffed with queso, but also surprisingly stuffed with Carne. Lots and lots of pollo. And both times I had them, they were super super delicioso. They are pretty close to mi casa, and they are on my normal bike route, so I'm going to have to stop and eat there sometime soon. Maybe I'll never have anything else on the menu. But that wouldn't be very Yelp-adventurous of me, now would it? Needless to say, if those quesadillas were the only thing I ever had from The Lagoon, I'd be satisfied with them forever. Super good. I'm curious to try the tacos, since they are actually a taqueria, not a quesadillaria. Soon and very soon.

Ray and his team are AMAZING! Yummy Food, Great Service! Thanks for feeding our crew and being so accommodating on our early orders! Perrie

My family has lived in the Bayview for over 20 years. I myself have my own little family now and we checked out La Laguna about a month ago and were really happy with the taste of the food. Our first time here we originally wanted to dine in but we were pressed for time. It was a Saturday and getting close to noon and the place was pretty empty. We asked the lady of we could just take it to go and she was super friendly and packed it up for us. We ordered 4 burritos and all were very tasteful and had a good amount of meat inside!!!! The the carne asada was seasoned well and not too salty, we also liked that there wasn't too much fat on the meat! I've been to places where there was hardly any meat but huge chunks of fat!! This place definitely didn't do that. The second time, I ordered for pickup and we got the same thing and again it was quality food.... We again ordered for pick up and food was always ready in the amount of time given!! Now...... Today(being our 4th time) I asked Jessica (the super nice cashier) if they offered a "super super burrito"..... She looked at me with a little grin and said No but she can ask the cook..... She goes and asked Antonio (the guy cook that's only there early in the day) if he could do it.... She came back and told me that he was willing to try!!!!! So here's how it went down, I ordered a "super super steak and prawn burrito" meaning they used two tortillas lengthwise and of course made two super burritos into one. ANTONIO nailed it!!!! My husband was beyond happy with his gigantic burrito!!!! Again, the flavor was there, the portion of meat and prawns were good and the green salsa is to die for!!! It is our favorite salsa from any taqueria... They also have a red salsa that is pretty tasty too!! To wrap this up, this is probably now our favorite taqueria in the Bayview! They also have online ordering and are available on eat 24 which is pretty cool if you need your food delivered!!! Thank you Jessica for always having outstanding customer service and of course Antonio for creating this monster burrito for my Hubby!!! I'm sure we will return soon and will probably try something new off the menu!!!

I was looking for a lunch spot that was close by to City College on Evans. So I knew I could rely on Yelp to guide me to the perfect place. Hmmm. What could be better than Mexican food for a quick bite. I wasn't really sure what to expect since no picture was available of the location and I wasn't sure if I should expect a small to-go spot. It was perfect! I walked in and notice plenty of space for dining in. The menu was also rather extensive with plenty of options even for the pickiest eater. I went for the Super Quesadilla with Carne Asada. It was delicious plus sour cream and guacamole are on the side which was great. They are also generous with portion size. I can't wait to come back. Note to self: remember to take camera for pictures. :)

I really like this place. Tons of seating and a good assortment of menu items. The people there are really friendly and the crowd is your average blue collar/ construction guys. My favorite: Enchiladas verdes, the verde sauce is bright, flavorful, hot but not a mouth-burner. Chicken was tender and delicious. Least favorite: the breakfast burrito. Kind of bland, and no potato! You gotta have potatoes in breakfast burritos right?

This place rocks. From the brightly colored (canary yellow) building, to the friendliness of the cashier, to the carne asada itself. So good. Not so good that I get a boner, but good enough that I come here about twice a week. Normally I don't like chicken enchiladas, something about the sauce just doesn't do it for me but this place does it and does it right. And the super taco meal...yeahsun, that's the yummi eats right there. Sadly, the burritos aren't up to par, which is surprising, so this place can't be the Best of the Best (Pop it Tommy, pop iiiiit!) but still ranks up there. Not sure about the previous reviewers comment regarding the service, as the main cashier is one of the friendliest people I've met. Every time I go there he's joking around with people and everyone's having a good time. In fact, people often sit at the area adjacent to the cashier just so they can talk with him while eating. It's possible that he wasn't there on the day the previous reviewer came by.

I just went in here to get an horchata since it's across the street from my job. Everyone in this joint is super friendly which is totally random for a taqueria. The customers or "regulars" as they were introduced by the guy behind the counter were super friendly and gave me many recommendations. The space is huge which is not what I expected from the outside. The horchata was good though just a tad watery for my taste...but I will definitely be back to eat. I noticed on the menu they have salads. But not your regular taco shack salads that are just open tacos with a bit more lettuce, like a real salad. I'm gonna have to check that out. Another "random" of this place that I am already a fan of. Nice to know there is a place like this in the city.

This is definitely a gem in this neighborhood. The food is great and the people are friendly. Burritos look exactly how they are pictured and will fill most people up. You should check out their Taco Tuesdays, where they offer $1 tacos with your choice of meat. The only thing that I have to complain about is their beef which is more salty than what I would like. Additionally, this place is on the pricier side. 4/5!

Burritos are good! Fast, easy and friendly service. Shredded chicken is delicious! Get it on a taco our burrito and you won't regret!

An okay place in an.... okay part of town. I stopped by, absolutely starving and this seemed to be promising. It was clean and spacious and there was tons of street parking all around. I ordered the super salad, which is literally an unwrapped burrito. A giant bed of lettuce and slices of tomatoes, a generous portion of dry carne asada, and a way too gigantic dollop of sour cream and sprinkles of cheese on top. Healthy salad negated. Still, a gigantic portion that filled me up and fueled me for the rest of the day. I'd come back only for $1 Taco Tuesdays!

Close to Dogpatch, the main PO on Evans and the Walgreens in Bayview Plaza SO... today my errands included a visit for a vegetarian burrito. Very impressed for a first time visit. They had wheat tortillas which were REALLY wheat not just white with some bran tossed in. I ordered the 'Super' with pinto beans (also veggie - I checked) and it came with nice accoutrements including cilantro and guac. I have to say I was pretty certain the guac was fresh but it could have also been out of bag. Nice size overall, although you do pay extra for chips which seemed to catch another customer off guard but was fine for me and my bulging exterior. Total came to $6.50'ish and I was really glad to sink my teeth into a delicious burrito without having to venture into the Mission.

Mexican food is not something I usually crave for. However, one day lady week I decided to walk here from my nearby workplace because I did not feel like driving off somewhere for lunch. It was my second time here. I ordered the two enchilada plate, one with chicken and one with beef. It was okay though I felt the meat could have been less dry. They charged 50 cents for chips to be included, that was a slight bummer. I would have imagined chips should be included, but I could be wrong about that. The place is clean, and I give them a thumbs up for providing a boost to this depressed neighborhood.

I work in Potrero Hill and stumbled upon this place on accident. I was pleasantly surprised at how good the food was! I ordered Enchiladas to go (same as the picture) and it was REALLY good! The rice and beans are cooked just right, portions are good and the prices are reasonable. I'd recommend this place to anyone in the area and don't mind the drive down the hill for some lunch here.

We've come by for both the Taco Tuesdays and normal days. Just a heads up that it's packed on Tuesdays so be prepared for a 5min wait, but it's worth it. The burritos are massive and come with authentic Mexican salsas and sides. Basically anytime we come here, we leave both full and happy!

The food is authentic and DELICIOUS! This little spot is a definite goldmine. We were in the area and were in the mood for some Mexican food. It was a pleasant surprise. The service was good and the place reminds me of some of our spits we like to eat at in Monterrey, Mexico.

Dollar Taco Tuesdays and their burritos are pretty filling!

Found out about this place from an India Basin local and stopped by for a quick dinner. Went with a super quesadilla with chorizo. I know "chorizo" doesn't mean "greasy" in Spanish, but that's what it was - greasy. Don't get me wrong... Depending on how you like your chorizo and food in general, greasy isn't necessarily a bad thing. I had a meeting presentation right afterward so my only concern was that I'd be burping up grease all night. Oh well, greasy in, greasy out, right? Es hora de ir al cuarto de baño. ¡Adiós!

Great cheap eats if you happen to be in the neighborhood. I gotta say it beats Subway and Walgreen's snacks (those are the other viable options available within a 1-block radius). I ordered a vegetarian burrito, which was filling! Beans, rice, tomato, lettuce, cheese, crema. All that for around $6. One thing, ask for extra hot sauce if you like spicy. I asked for hot sauce and it was barely noticeable.
