"Tacos Del Barrio is the perfect spot when you’re looking for a lunch that has no misses—this counter-service spot makes the best Mexico City-style tacos in the city. Achiote-seasoned pastor spins on the spit in the back, asada is perfectly charred on all sides, and the plump, creamy fish will teleport you straight to Baja. But before you sit down, head straight to the salsa bar that’s full of the smokiest and freshest salsas around. You’ll be carrying at least 12 little salsa cups back to your table, so hope your juggling skills are up to par." - julia chen 1, patrick wong, ricky rodriguez
"There are so many places to get affordable, excellent Mexican food in the Mission District. That said, Tacos del Barrio is sitting somewhere in the middle of the various price points. A barbacoa taco for $5.60 is nothing to scoff at, nor is the consomé, both served on the weekends." - Dianne de Guzman
"Tacos are the perfect casual weeknight food (and also the perfect late-night food, and the perfect anytime food, etcetera etcetera). Clearly, we love tacos, and Tacos Del Barrio is our taqueria of the moment. The ones at this Mission spot serve as our inspiration to get up in the morning. The tortillas are perfect, the meats are all high-quality, and the salsas are full of flavor. Order any of eleven fillings (melty-yet-crispy carnitas and well-charred asada are our favorites) and lay on any of the six smoky, fresh, and charred salsas from the bar. You won’t be disappointed.

"There are no wrong orders at this counter-service spot that makes Mexico City-style tacos. They’re the best in the city. Yes, that's a strong statement, and, yes, we stand by it. They're serving up quick tacos that make for a perfect casual weeknight dinner. Achiote-seasoned pastor spins on the spit in the back, asada is perfectly charred on all sides, and the plump, creamy fish of the fish taco will teleport you straight to Baja. This place also has a breakfast menu, burritos, and massive tortas, but really you’re here for those juicy tacos—and the salsa bar that’s full of the smokiest and freshest salsas around. You’ll be carrying at least 12 little cups of it, so hope your juggling skills are up to par. " - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez
"We’ll let you in on a secret that most tourists don’t know—San Francisco isn’t really a taco town. But Tacos Del Barrio in the Mission is serving up tacos on tortillas that have that special kind of freshly milled intense corn flavor that’s tough to find outside of Southern California. Check out their specials to see what they’re whipping up at a moment's notice (like pork belly), add the juicy al pastor and smoky asada, and make sure to make a pit-stop at the salsa bar.
