Came here because I saw Adoniseats on IG feature the place and what I saw looked really good.
I ordered a carnitas super burrito, a chorizo taco and a machaca taco to go. Total was around $23 plus a 20% tip for takeout, so around $29+ total. Yes, it's expensive, but everything is expensive! Did I want to make dinner? No. Did I want to support local business? Yes! So in my eyes, this was worth it. An egg McMuffin at Mcdo is $7. I'd MUCH rather pay $4 for a taco made by a local restaurant. I hope you will too.
Super burrito : she THICC! Hella carnitas! This is one of the first burritos that I've had where the meat portion was larger than the rice portion and I'm not mad! The carnitas was flavorful and slightly crispy, which is what I was looking for.
Chorizo taco: I normally don't get chorizo unless I'm in Mexico because any time I've had it here, I didn't see why people liked it. This chorizo took me right back to MX! It was wonderfully seasoned and enough meat for two tacos! I squeezed some lime on it and it was the perfect amount of acidity to balance the richness of the chorizo.
Machaca taco: this meat was so soft and tender without being finely shredded like pork floss. It was perfect (to me). It was mixed with a little bit of egg, but if this taco was a preview of what their breakfast burritos are like, then I know I'm going to love it. Again, such an abundant amount of meat!
I told the wife (I'm sorry I didn't ask for the couple's names)! That I normally love a dorado style burrito from La Taqueria and when I got home, the tortilla on my burrito was nice and chewy just like how I order it from La Taqueria! I'm so happy I found a Mexican spot in my city that I like!
I'm coming back to try the quesa birria, breakfast burritos, and sopes!
There are a few tables in the back room, which has high ceilings and a tv.
Things to know: they accept card, you can phone an order in, takeout only at 7:30 pm because they close at 8, prices have changed since they opened, and there's many options for parking. There's metered parking everywhere: in front of the taqueria, on the side street by the donut shop, and on the corner lot across from the fire station. This is also steps away from both a Muni and SamTrans bus stop.
They serve beer and have tall cans of Modelo michi's and there's an also a fancy bar two doors down.
They have green and red salsa. The green is aguacate and they're both spicy. I cannot handle heat, so although the salsas were spicy for me, they might be mild for you. The verde salsa is hella good but I could only tolerate very little. The red salsa had a distinct flavor in it. Idk if it was slightly sweet or slightly vinegary. Verde was hotter. Both good for people who like spicy.
Chips were free for now. I hope people realize how great the quality of the food is here and how nice these people are.
I came in on a Wednesday afternoon (before 4) and I was attended to immediately.
