I got the pastor super burrito , pretty huge compared to others. This burrito was delicious every thing paired well. The service was kinda slow, but the cashier was very nice so it didn’t bother me. Not a fan of the decor.

This has to be one of the best hole in the wall places in San Francisco. I’m so happy we stopped here for lunch. Good prices and excellent food. Big portions too! Left feeling very full. Also, the super quesadilla is the best quesadilla any of us had ever tried. Highly recommend coming here!

The breakfast burrito was big as my face!!!! Visiting from Colorado the shrimp breakfast burrito was so delicious and definitely worth the money! Everyone was friendly and the shop atmosphere was just right. Would love to come back next time!

Great burrito/taco and low impact “quick” meal. Friendly crew and patrons. I hesitated to walk in as the front entrance and dining area is not inviting. But once I got in everyone was friendly, clean and the staff were having fun. Good food to boot. Will definitely go again

I had a taste for some Mexican food so I went and got two carne asada crunchy tacos with rice and beans. It was so good. I'll be back. I think this is going to be my new little favorite place.

Tiny hole in the wall with DELICIOUS food and super friendly service. Not fancy looking but amazing! We stopped there w/ two picky eaters and they devoured the carne asada street tacos. Would definitely eat here again and 100% recommend.

I only had the michalada (to go) but it was delicious. The restaurant seemed VERY authentic; I felt like I was back in Mexico. I would like to have tried some of their food. The service was pleasant but a little slow for how quiet it was.

Their burritos are very hit-or-miss. I’ve had 9/10 burritos here, and I’ve had 6/10 burritos here. Based on both size and flavoring of the meat. For $16, I should get a hefty “super” burrito. A few times, it has been. Others, it’s somewhat small. I enjoy the chorizo, but I had pollo verde one night that had no flavor. I eat a burrito every day. I’ve eaten them all over the country. I can find 10/10, large burritos in Daly City, San Bruno, South City for $12. I’m willing to pay $16 for one here for the location, but it should be large and flavorful every time. It’s not. I don’t feel confident coming back here and getting my money’s worth, so I probably won’t.

Food did not taste authentic. Salsa looks like jello of how old it is. If you ask for extra plates or limes the cashier acts like you’re asking him to run a marathon.

The food ended up tasting pretty good, but on what planet is this considered a quesadilla? I just wish it had been listed as messy unwrapped burrito on the menu so I would have known what I was getting myself into.

They change prices on you at City Taqueria. They have a big bright electric sign with prices. But scrawled down below the sign, out of eyeline, is a sign saying something like, prices subject to change. So they charged me $15.50 for a torta that was advertised at $12.75. So I canceled with much difficulty and went next door to get a torta for $12.75. The food is decent but no one eats inside as it is dark and doesn’t seem well kept.

The food is very tasty, the service of the cashier was very good, very kind, but I got a wire in the food and they were not able to approach me to apologize or change my plate literally I had to eat that plate, I showed them the wire but no apology. It's a call to be more careful and to be a little more gentle when this happens. This star goes for that unpleasant experience.
