Taqueria Cancun

My super quesadilla was humongous at a good price. The quality of ingredients and flavors were on point. I’m a taco kind of guy but this quesadilla was a win for me. The quesadilla in the picture is actually deceiving, it was actually cut in half and stacked so it was huge and very filling. 4 stars because I wasn’t a fan of the seating which didn’t leave a comfortable space between the tables and counter which had feeling confined. Also not a big fan of the style chips served which I feel completes the meal.

Food is delicious and the place is quaint. Just a down south chill vibe to me. The food reminds me of home... Texas.

If you are looking for authentic Mexico, but not in Mexico, but you’re in San Francisco this is the place There is absolutely no better place to get a super vegetarian burrito with black beans, brown rice, guacamole sour cream……. then this place so stop looking And if that’s not enough, you get the alter to the Virgin Mary ridiculous paintings and the normal San Francisco, which is every color of the rainbow every shape and size. So for San Francisco’s in the know, there’s no better place to know for people visiting us. There’s no better place to go.

Taqueria Cancun has been one of my favorite tawuerias in San francisco for over 20 years. I prefer eating at their other locations (in the Mission District) but when I'm in the mid-marker area their Market Street location always serves up a great burrito. As most people in the city know 6th and Market isn't the most desirable location so this location closes earlier than the other ones. Anyways, this is an all around great San Franciscian establishment that I will continue to support. You should too!

Best tacos ever. No notes. I loved this place

Excellent value for a decent price. The Super Breakfast Burrito is packed with goodness. One of the best crafted burritos in the menu. The free side of chips and salsa makes dine-in worthwhile.

So-so, very close to shopping so I like the location..not too expensive for SF. I got the veggie burrito... which includes black beans pinto beans rice avocado sour cream cheese...comes with a side of chips and dipping salsa and avocado. My problem is with the flour tortilla, it’s entirely too folded and the fillings barely get to shine. Does the job, I enjoyed it but the bread-ingredient ratio is off.

Actually surprised at how good the veggie burrito was. Vibe is casual and service super quick with decent prices. Everything you’d expect from a Mexican spot!

The food is hearty and affordable, but lacks flavor a bit for me. I was planning to try this place for a while as it's a true SF staple but was disappointed by the quesadilla I picked. Just tons of cheese and bland chicken. Barely could finish a half of it. The wet burrito had more taste thanks to the sauce so that's probably the safe choice if you can manage to eat that huge thing. The service was very friendly though and the ambiance of a lively Mexican spot was nice.

Came here on a Monday. Yay that they are open on Mondays! Got the carne asada super burrito. The carne asada is very flavorful with a nice char on it. The rest of the burrito somehow felt too clean. Like, I like it when the tortilla is slightly chewy/melty and feeling like the burrito could have been a little oilier for more sabor. Filling and tasty, but not quite as satisfying and irresistible as La taqueria for me.

The burrito mojado is a massive heaping pile of burrito goodness that is not to be taken lightly. Insanely flavorful salsa and red sauce, meat grilled to perfection, and cheesy cheese that just hits home. It is a massive portion though - perhaps a better idea to split with someone than to just down the whole thing on your own. And you will be drinking lots of water after. The restaurant itself is also a fun lively place; there's a mariachi band that comes in once in a while and plays music for a minute or so, it gets pretty loud and you can't really hear much when this happens.

I haven't had a mission style burrito in awhile. My old favorite was El Faro at 20th & Folsom (not El Farolito). I didn't want to make the travel so went here which is at 6th & Market. I got a carne asada super burrito. It was fine. I'm used to fatter burritos. Bf got an al pastor Torta. It was heavy! We both did not finish and have like half left. Service was fast and friendly and they do take cards. Ambience - small - just a few tables. I went at 12:30 on a weekday (Thursday) and there was no line. You get free chips and salsa in your bag - just be careful taking your meal out because the chips can make a mess. We got some Mexican coca colas. $36.30 for 2 items and 2 sodas. Pretty pricey, but so is everything else these days.

insanely juicy super carne asada quesadilla. will be back to try their wet burrito. ordered with the cashier and he called us over to pick up when order was done. very casual, brightly decorated interior.

Hole in the wall with legit and fast take out. Not a place I'd really sit in and eat, but you can if you are in a pinch, as there's usually seating available. My favorite is the enchiladas - they come piping hot with glops of cheese melted over. The rice and beans are simple yet consistently spot on. Glad this is in my neighborhood as I need a go to takeout spot for Mexican!

It seems this place has good days and bad days? Fortunately I got a good day. I and my partner are white as wonder bread and experienced only politeness. I didn't ask for a receipt but the total I paid seemed correct according to the menu prices. I asked for no cilantro (soap gene) on ours and they were happy to accommodate us. My cantaloupe agua fresca was refreshing and the super burrito was top 2 best burritos I've ever had. I'm not from around here so take that as you will. But I've eaten a lot of Mexican food and Tex Mex and Mexican American food in my life and this was amazing! The al pastor didn't have the pineappley redness that I'm used to, it was its own thing, almost tasted like a hint of cinnamon, perfectly cooked. If you want something "wholesome" and well rounded I recommend the super burrito, which yes, is $14~, but it is also two meals. If you want something real cheesy and decadent I can recommend the burrito mojado. On both the tortilla tasted really nice as well and the avocado was perfectly ripe.

The food is delicious and affordable, I HIGHLY recommend the alambres. Best I've ever had. The staff is quite nice, very friendly. It's a lowkey neighborhood taqueria, don't expect glamour: but if you want one of the best meals you'll ever eat, this is the spot.

Wow, this is my second burrito within a week? What's up with that? This was better of the two. I had the tongue burrito mojado. Wet burrito with enchiladela sauce. Split in 2 meals. It was too gigantic. Loved the enchilada sauce. Got free chips which complemented with each bite. Cheese was melty. Chunks of tongue. Overall, delicious. It was only $15.50.

My favorite burrito in the world. I'd drive to the bay just to get one. Then drive all the way home. Don't let the hole in the wall vibe turn you off. It's gritty, edgy and excellent. Everyone is to the point and kind. I love this place.

This place has to be top 2 taquerias in the SF for me! I'd definitely recommend and will be coming back! Get the wet burrito and you'll know whyyyyyy!

Food was really fresh and service is fast. I came for a breakfast burrito and it did not disappoint. It was stuffed with rice beans, chorizo, and eggs or yeah and salsa. It's a small restaurant but what they lack in space they make up for with amazing food

This place has great food in generous portions. I ordered the super taco with carne asada. It came with chips and two kinds of salasa. There was so much meat on the taco that I had to request a fork to eat some of it before I could pick it up. The service was fast and friendly. There's plenty of seating. I'd gladly go here again.

This is a go-to for good burritos! The food is always delicious and they're flexible about adding/removing ingredients. The chips and salsa to start is also a nice touch for an otherwise casual place. So good for late night or low key eats!

My friend and I were in the area and picked up some takeout for dinner. Note: there's $10 minimum charge for card, but most menu items are over this amount so not hard to hit We came by Tuesday around 5 pm and it was pretty empty. It's a tiny storefront on Market St, though it's quite noticeable because of the bright yellow name. The inside is quite small as well, though there are a couple tables to eat at. I wouldn't recommend coming here with more than 4 people. We paid $29 for the carnitas plate ($14.75) and a veggie burrito ($12). They provide nachos + salsa even for takeout orders which we appreciated. The carnitas were a bit dry and too salty but otherwise good. Portions were huge, I only managed to finish half the food and ate the other half the next day. My friend enjoyed his veggie burrito, but he was a bit bummed it didn't have any salsa and he had to keep adding it in with every bite.

A good spot for some fast casual mexican food! I got a carne asada super burrito, and it was $16 which is a bit on the pricier side for a joint like this. The meat had a decent amount of chewy bits (bad) but the flavor and everything else was delicious. You also get a small basket of free chips and salsa with the order.

It's almost impossible to believe earlier reviews outing this as a racist restaurant could've been correct, yet, for some reason, I experienced just that today. After living in the city for over a decade and eating take out from this restaurant several times more recently with my partner - who is of Mayan descent - I randomly decided to stop by for a Horchata this afternoon! Only after ordering a large Horchata and attempting to pay, I was informed that the price would be $8.03 "because it was the large size" and noticing the menu board saying $3.25 - one would think that a large would be no more than double that price? This frustrating experience is compounded by the fact that I have, once again ordered from this restaurant many times before over the past 6mo, and that was never the price for a large horchata previous to my ordering in person. I am not sure what else to say other than they decided to name as high of a price as they could reasonably see someone paying - and of course I paid, because I wanted to leave this review and let everyone else know! I'll light a candle and pray for you, good lord...

It did the job for a late night snack! I had the carne asada and the Al pastor and it was ok. Service fast and very Mexican vibe.

You know how you want something so bad, then you finally get that thing and your overly underwhelmed? That's this place if I had to describe it. Don't get me wrong, it your standard run of the mill taqueria. Nothing really stands out. Here's the thing, I normally get a super Suiza with chicken. But bruhhh, right when I picked up one half of the suiza, an avalanche of oil dripped down my shirt and arm. I mean I was smacking, though was all that oil necessary? Probably.

This place lives up to the hype These were our favorites: Carnitas (pulled pork) Carne asada (chopped up steak) Al pastor (marinated pork) Chicken Protip: el techo is close by

Okay so good! Burrito was a decent size and both salsas are delicious! They have different options for beans and the black beans were pretty good! Carne asada was flavorful and cooked well. Overall, great experience. Staff is also super nice!

I can't believe I haven't written a review for this Taqueria Cancun location yet. As sketchy as the location is, it still holds a special place in my heart... First date spot with my now-husband! We came here before watching a musical at the theater across the street. I'd only been to the sister restaurant on 18th and Mission. This one was way smaller and less appealing. The food was still decent, though. It's probably best to order food and take it to-go, but if you must, there are a few small tables to enjoy your meal while it's hot. At both locations, my favorite items are the carne asada super burrito or super quesadilla. Because it's packed with so many ingredients, it can get a little messy, but it's worth it. Honestly there are other Mexican places I prefer, but if you're in a hurry, it's not a bad option.

I got the super burrito (which was huge btw) and they are extremely generous with the portion size. But $15 for a burrito seems a bit overpriced haha. The burrito overall was quite good but I would say it is lacking in flavor, like it's almost a little bland. The carne asada was very good tho. You also get free chips and salsa to go with your order. The seating is very cramped inside but the workers are quite nice!

Friendly service when you first enter. Small establishment but still had plenty of seating . Definitely would recommend the torta over the burrito but that's just my personal preference. Worth the money most definitely.

Our go to Mexican lunch place in San Francisco. The food is made fresh infront of you and the portion sizes are huge. This place deserves a 5 star for those huge tasty burritos and Quesadillas. Super Quesadilla - A big and juicy Quesadilla with avocado and your choice of meet. This is my favorite here. Burrito Mojado (a Big One) - Extremely big burrito with your choice of meat, enchilada sauce, sour cream and cheese melted on it. This can feed a giant! Meat choices: carne asada and chorizo are always great here. Not the best ambience or the location but the food is spot on. Friendly and fast service every time. PS: Free chips and salsa with every order.

Good decent, but the hidden fees and charge it might be suspicious. Super nachos $15.75 and I ended up paying almost $19. Im not sure if taxes are that expensive only in this restaurant or they are charging more for service.

Bait and switch pricing Yelp says they have a super burrito for 5 50. all right I'm in and they charge me $15. I had them refund me. Acted like they were doing me a favor instead of me doing a favor not insisting they honor Pricing advertised

The carne asada super burrito hit the spot when our usual burrito spot wasn't open. This one included even portions of beans, rice, fresh avocado slices, a creamy sour cream, salsa and meat of choice. The rice had a tomato-ey taste to it which was very interesting. I also liked that large burritos were made on gigantic tortillas so that any possible tears could be avoided; it's one of my pet peeves. We ate in the car and there wasn't a problem on my end as the burrito wasn't runny and it didn't tear on me. Score! I enjoyed the smoky salsa verde which I poured on my burrito. The only downside was how chunky it was. I couldn't pour even layers on my burrito. Overall, the burrito was delicious and very fulfilling. The staff inside were such a vibe. They would turn up their music and start singing along. It was well worth it to walk across the sketchy street to try it out.

I was not overwhelmed by the food here! Service was ok ambiance is meh. For mexican food in the city there are so many great places with great food using fresh ingredients i think this place has catch up to do...okurt

Definitely a great spot to stop by and pick up a burrito to go in San Francisco. I ordered a carne asada super burrito and it was very filling. From not only the size (i.e. the amount of food in the actual burrito itself), but also the flavors, I was very happy with my selection. The burrito surprisingly get messy from the amount of stuff that is in it as soon as you start getting to the bottom, so that was definitely a plus on my end as well. I also did like the fact that the order came with chips and salsa. The salsas were delicious, but the salsa verde, but also the salsa roja. The restaurant is a small spot right in between two additional locales. If you aren't looking for it, you may quickly miss it. However, you definitely want to stop by and try out the great food here. You won't regret it.

Love this place. Quick, delicious food. Across the street from Golden Gate Theater. Great place for a burrito before a show.

This is a small little restaurant in SF that has maybe 8 tables or so lined up on the right side with the team cooking on the left side, and a little aisle to walk through to order and get your food and what not in the middle. I just got a taco because I had already eaten, but boy was that taco good! The friends I was with each got a burrito and a quesadilla that made my mouth water just by looking at them. We were all very satisfied. They got our orders right and were quick to have our food prepared, especially considering how busy they were! I would definitely go back!

This was the worst al pastor I've ever tasted. I ate one bite and practically gagged. It wasn't shawarma-y at all. It was more like offal, and I was not expecting the texture of liver. Five stars for the green salsa. But that taco was inedible.

I flew in to SF super early and needed some food. I had a few places bookmarked but one had a long line and I was on the brink of Hangry so I popped in to Taqueria Cancun. I had noticed the small hole-in-the wall place on my first round of wandering and saw they had a sign advertising breakfast burritos. I'm in. I ended up bypassing the breakfast burrito for an entire breakfast plate (Hangry, remember). It came with scrambled eggs, chorizo, rice, refried beans, and tortillas. It was a large portion of food for $10! You also get free chips & salsa, always a plus. I ended up skipping most of the tortillas although they were really good. The food was super hot and fresh as they cook everything to order on a big flat top. The food was definitely filling and comforting after a long flight, but it wasn't particularly flavorful. I ended up using all the salsa on the eggs to kick them up a bit. I did hear someone who requested their food to be spicy, so maybe that's key. The green salsa was amazing! I put it on everything. The guys working were all friendly and the food was done quickly. Note that they are a cash only establishment but they have an on-site ATM.

Ughhh I hate when this happens. You enjoy a place, recommend it to co workers, then you all go and customer service is poor and food was not what I ordered. I ordered a prawn burrito. Light beans and light rice... below is what I got. ( only had 3 shrimp in the entire burrito) Had to eat it cause I was hungry. Was gonna go back to complain... no need I just won't patronize the plane anymore‍

I was walking on Market st on the way to get to El Castillito on 14th & Church st. I decided to stop and get my burrito here. a big mistake. portion was big, but no flavors. I ordered Super Burrito al pastor, such a disappointment. there are many better one in San Francisco.

Now granted the best El Cancun Is in the Mission, but this spot is legit. You can go to a lot of fu fu spots around here and get a fancy Mex experience but this place delivers. Their tacos and burritos are super legit. And def better than these fakes out here.

This is such a dive and the only reason we went was we were starving before going to the theater. I am so glad we did! I think what gave it the fifth star for me is they had fresh avocado and freshly chopped onions. The meat was excellent. The tortilla on my taco was excellent. The chips are funny but good! I really highly recommend this, especially if you're going to a show.

One of my weekly spots for some authentic tacos/burritos. I will admit this is the taqueria closest to me so I definitely have some convenience bias but overall a solid taqueria. I mainly go for the carne asada (which could be a bit more flavorful but still manages to hit the spot when I've got my hankering for Mexican food). Their verde salsa is killer, make sure to grab two with your meal.

Disappointing (regular) tacos for $3.50 each. Although there was quite a lot of meat in my al pastor and chorizo tacos, the flavor just wasn't quite there. For street tacos, these are pretty expensive!

Each order comes with a basket of tortilla chips, a side of guac, and spicy, spicy salsa. Per my SO: Pastor quesadilla - Tender, flavorful, oily pork. Overflowing with meat spilling out of the quesadilla. Smaller portions than most Mexican restaurants but rich in flavor. Carne asada quesadilla - Best carne asada in a while. Not dry for once. For the vegans: Nothing for you but a side of rice and beans. Rice and beans - Ordered the small (not listed on their menu) for $3.80 and the plate was filled with too much rice and beans for one girl to finish. Basic, salty, comforting dish.

So-so, very close to shopping so I like the location..not too expensive for SF. I got the veggie burrito... which includes black beans pinto beans rice avocado sour cream cheese...comes with a side of chips and dipping salsa and avocado. My problem is with the flour tortilla, it's entirely too folded and the fillings barely get to shine. Does the job, I enjoyed it but the bread-ingredient ratio is off.

OMG. I just ate a baby! Ok, so maybe not exactly...but I just consumed a breakfast burrito that was twice the size of one of Paris Hilton's pups (not THOSE pups-stop that). This thing was a monster. A delicious monster stuffed with scrambled eggs, chorizo sausage, rice, cheese, sour cream and fresh avocados. When I bit in, I was impressed to find that the contents were well distributed throughout the burrito. No lopsidedness here. No sir. They actually had a good selection of Jarritos soda flavors. Is it me, or does soda always taste better out of a glass bottle? I stared at the "interesting" mural on the wall as I sipped my pina soda. The mermaids painted were not of the Ariel/Little Mermaid variety. They were more of the tranny variety. Hey - more power! Overall, a fabulous burrito in a no-frills taqueria. Now please excuse me...I feel as though I'm about to give birth.

Good food located in a sketchy neighborhood. You will see many homeless people. You will smell a bad stench. You will see crackheads. But, just keep to yourself and you should be fine. Go inside, get the food then get the f out. The menu is pretty straightforward - burrito, taco, nacho, etc. I ordered the carne asada super burrito. My colleagues got a mixture of stuff. The super burrito was pretty big. It did feel like a super burrito, loaded with rice, bean, beef, gauc, cilantro, and sour cream, and grease. Gotta have the grease for it to be moist and juicy. This ain't a healthy gluten free place. If you want healthy, this place ain't it. This is a hole in the wall restaurant with good food. And it's on the authentic side. Btw, the employees are not very friendly. You come, you order and they give you your food. It won't be smiley faces with small talk. Also, it's cash only make sure to bring cash!

There are so many hole in the wall Mexican restaurant in San Francisco. I can't say anything really stands out about Taqueria Cancun. But if you find yourself nearby and want a fix, you could certainly do much worse. I had the Alhambra Especial (meat plate). It was pretty tasty and came with all the usual fixin's. I enjoyed it. The guys working there were nice and friendly. If I was in the neighborhood, I would not hesitate to go back.

BOMB FOOD. i have been to A LOT of taqueria and let me tell you this has to be one of the best places. they have made EVERY dish very different from other taquerias. the prices are awesome and the horchata is bomb. the neighborhood is hella sketchy but just don't make eye contact and have your running shoes on to be safe. other than that man its bomb

These burritos are humongous and amazing. Good stuff overall. I like the location, even if it's a bit smallish. Narrow is probably a better description. I like that the prices are reasonable (for San Francisco) and the place has a family-owned-diner sort of feel. Not sure if that's actually the case, but the stuff is good. All kinds of people here, from immigrants to urban hipsters.

I've been here 4 times, so it can't be that bad to me. The first time I went there was a cook who looked to be in his late 20's/ early 30's that made me probably one of the best super burritos I've ever had. Everything was perfect and well put together. It was like he put everything in a blender as everything was prefecty portioned. Too bad I haven't seen him since. Now the cook is an older guy with a bald head. Well, he doesn't seem to portion the ingredients well, as you take 5 bites in a row of nothing but rice and then 5 bites in a row of nothing but steak. You want everything in a burrito to be evenly distributed, but apparently this cook doesn't seem to understand the concept (which is surprising). Also, not sure if he can follow directions well as he always seems to leave out the sour cream 100% of the time. They also give me black beans when I ask for refried beans. I'm not sure where the disconnect is there, but it pisses me off as it's a burrito and you can't see what's in there until you bite into it or cut it open. Last thing.. 7 chips? Really? What's the point in giving free chips if you only give out 7 chips per bag?

The worse burrito I've EVER had. I walked in and the place is completely empty, that should of been my first sign. Then I paid $15 for a regular burrito asked with no salsa. I got salsa!! That is all.
