Came here on a weekend in winter 2025. Line was around the corner. Moves fast. Took us 30-45 mins to get to place order and another 20 to get our food and seats. Order your burrito dorado for sure. Im a purist so don’t like beans or rise. So got just a steak super quesadilla with guacamole. Probably the best in town. Meat tasted of good quality and lean without too much fatty. Def worth a stop if you are in the Mission. Oh prices are very affordable too!

I finally had the chance to taste what is arguably the most famous burrito in all of SF. I went close to noon on weekday, and the queue was about 15 minutes long. The line moves incredibly fast, and before I knew I was already placing my order. I got the burrito they are known for which is their carne asada super burrito. I got it toasted. You place your order at the front, and then you go inside and pay your bill, and then you wait for them to call your number. The inside of the restaurant is packed, and often you will be sharing your table with other Diners, making it a very communal form of dining. My burrito took about 10 minutes to arrive, and it was probably the best burrito I have ever eaten. It wasn’t as hefty as other burritos, given the lack of rice, which gives it volume, but the meat was so tender, the beans were so well seasoned, and the sour cream, and the guac was so creamy. This was such a satisfying burrito and also the perfect portion size for one person. I will definitely be back, but I also want to try some other burritos in the neighbourhood.

I’ve seen all the Instagram videos, heard all the hype, and read all the claims that La Taqueria serves some of the best Mexican food in the country. I finally made the trip, and honestly, I’m glad I did. The food really is as good as everyone says—an easy 10 out of 10. That being said, this place definitely has its cons. You should expect a very long line almost any day of the week. On a lucky day, the wait might be around 20–30 minutes, but it can go much longer. Once you finally reach the front and place your order, you’ll notice the staff is working incredibly fast. They’re not rude at all—they’re just in non-stop hustle mode, so don’t expect a warm chatty environment. After ordering, two new challenges start: finding a seat and waiting for your food. The inside is very small, cramped, and not the most comfortable place to sit. The last time I visited, the food took almost an hour after ordering. It sounds crazy, but the moment the food arrives, everything changes. The burritos here truly are on another level. I recommend ordering Mission Style (no rice), which lets the flavors stand out—the guacamole, the steak, the little green beans, everything. They’re generous with the guac, the meat is amazing, and the flavors are insanely well-balanced. You can also ask for Dorado (toasted). I usually say “Mission Style, Dorado,” and it comes out perfectly crispy all around. Even with the long lines, the tight seating, and the slow wait inside, the food makes up for every single flaw. It really is the best burrito I’ve ever had. I hope one day they expand or speed up the line, but for now, it’s still absolutely worth the hype. This place is magical and a must-try.

Crispy carnitas burrito was good, green sauce was spicy, no rice means it tasted authentic not american. Waited in line to order for dine in on a Friday night, waiting in line for food 10 minutes finally got a seat. Food was good I would eat here again.

Famous burrito spot in Mission district. Long wait but the burrito is excellent. Taste of everything is superb. Really enjoyed the Super because it includes sour cream, cheese and avocado which just elevates the flavor. Vibe is authentic and there's nothing extra. You're just there for the good food! I would recommend a weekday as the line can be quite long and get there early!

The evening at the establishment with colleagues was certainly a success. The environment was lively and enjoyable, creating a great mood for everyone. It was easy to relax and have conversations without feeling overwhelmed by the surroundings. The overall experience provided a wonderful opportunity to unwind and socialize after a long day. Everyone seemed to appreciate the ambiance and the chance to connect outside of work.

I live in San Jose and the carne asada burrito is worth the drive and wait. The line moves faster than you imagine, and the staff is friendly from the ordering to the pickup. A solid vibe on Mission. Tasty sauce and gave us plenty of napkins. The grilled burrito was a nice touch and I gobbled the entire thing! Gracias!

Steak burrito was SOO good. We waited around 20 - 30 mins for a table. The place is super popular and busy, so you have to get cozy and comfortable sitting next to strangers. They also have a bottle of hot sauce at the table, in case you want an extra kick with your food.

Best burrito I've ever had. (Chicken, but i heardsteak is the best.). Fresh, light, grilled, outer shell (flour tortilla), with fresh ingredients. I chose no rice. Chips, salsa, and guacamole were fantastic. My Mom had delicious pork tacos. Mariachi band too!

My friends and I have been here a couple of times after seeing a lot of hype about it. I always get the carne asada burrito (make sure to ask for the mission style so u get the tortillas to be crispy) and let me tell you it’s so worth the hype. You don’t get any rice in the burritos, and instead, you get the juiciest pieces of meat and a good portion of it too! From time to time we get the quesadilla and those are super good too. It’s a little more oilier than the burritos since they make the tortillas super crispy but hits the spot. There’s usually a long line but it usually moves quickly.

This place was great. This was the first time me and my wife has been here and we got to tell you this is going to be our new favorite spot when we visit San Francisco. We had the super burrito fried the proportion sizes is not that large but it is worth every bit of the money. There was a pretty big line but trust me don't let that scare you away it goes really fast. The inside is pretty small so it's hard to get a table so we just got to go and ate it at our car.

Hold your horses now; I feel like the amazing super spicy salsa saves the food. The burrito was okay but not for the hype and the tacos surprised me, they were larger than expected. I assumed it was regular tacos until I tried to take a quick bite while driving. Service was good and quick although the line was long. Pictures might be a little deceiving since I took bad ones.

Came here twice, two different times on a weekend. Always a long line. There is a long long wait. Average about an hour long. Easy set up. Pay for what you want and seat where they tell you. No seats if you ask for to go. Remember that! You may sit with others if you are on a long table. There are some big group tables but might have to wait a bit. They do serve beer but no cocktails. Their portions are very generous. Had their regular taco carne asado. Can't image how big the super tacos are?? I love their burritos dorado style. No rice in their burritos so it doesn't make you super full. Love it! Crispy in the outside of the tortillas. Can't really ask to customize anything. Love their green spicy sauce and it's available on the table when you eat. You can buy the bottle as well. Very decent prices. Service is decent. Would come here again but can't come here when I am starving.

Best burrito in SF. The carne asada is tender, smoky, and perfectly marinated. Be sure to add guacamole as it balances out the richness of the beef. There is no salsa bar but every table has a large squeeze bottle of their signature spicy salsa verde. Wash it down with some horchata or an agua Fresca and you’ll walk away feeling satisfied and happy!

The super veggie burrito was great. It was very crowded and the line to order was long, but the employees were very efficient so it was fast. The tacos and chips were very good as well.

La Taqueria is often called the world’s best burrito spot, and after tasting it myself, I can see why it has such a devoted following. Every burrito is packed with fresh ingredients, perfectly seasoned, and wrapped with care—the flavors hit just the right balance of bold and comforting. I’d give it an 8.5/10—almost perfection. The portions are generous without feeling heavy, and every bite is satisfying. While a few small details kept it from feeling completely elevated, the overall experience is still outstanding and absolutely worth visiting if you’re in San Francisco. For anyone serious about burritos, La Taqueria is a must-stop!

Given the hype I had really high expectations. Waited in line for about 20 min line was around the corner. You order up front then walk in a pay. Seating is tough. You wait in line until a seat come available there are some single tables and then picnic style tables. Not convenient for large parties. Seating is tight. When your order is ready they call it out by number food and drinks come out all at once. Took 15-20 for our order to be called. I didnt care for the chips and salsa. There was no salsa it was chopped onion and tomatoes. I order chicken quesadilla I would rate it 4 stars Carna Burrito 3 stars. Food is good not the best in the world. $80 3 beers, chips and salsa, burrito and chicken quesadilla.

Honestly, I have to say this was a very underwhelming experience overall. The food itself? Absolutely five stars no question. The burrito I had was one of the best I’ve ever eaten in my life. So much flavor, perfectly made, and I loved that there was no rice just pure filling and taste. Truly incredible. But the experience leading up to that was very disappointing. When we first got in line, they told us they were out of steak (which I understand since we got there about an hour and a half before closing). They said they still had carnitas, chicken, and chorizo. By the time we got to the counter, they were out of carnitas too, so I ordered two chicken items (a chicken burrito and a chicken quesadilla) plus one taco with chorizo. The lady confirmed my order and gave me a ticket. Here’s the issue: we then had to wait almost an hour in line before finally getting our food. By the time it was our turn, we were among the last 10 people before closing, and then they suddenly told me they were out of chicken. After waiting that long, and after driving over an hour and a half just to come try this place, that was really frustrating. They offered to cancel the order, but by then I just ended up switching to chorizo, which was good, but not what I originally wanted. So while the food itself is amazing no doubt worth five stars the overall experience was frustrating and left me disappointed. For that reason, I can only give three stars. I really hope I can come back and have a smoother, better experience next time, because the flavor is truly unbeatable.
