Sweet Basil Thai San Francisco Reviews
Friendly staff with large portions and decent prices plus bursting with flavor! Open late with clean tables and free chips/salsa with your order. We really enjoyed the al pastor and pollo asado super tacos. The al pastor especially was juicy and full of flavor!
Came here because of Huang's World on vice. Best burritos we've ever had. Great price and taste.
This is my favorite local taqueria. They have received numerous awards and you can see why. Tacos A+ Quesadillas A+ Burritos A+ Vibes A+. You get what I mean! The flavors on the meats are par to none and set the bar for me. Pair it was a horchata or Jarito!
Good food, large portions, reasonable price. Seems popular with the locals as well.
Fantastic! We got a shrimp and an al pastor super burrito bowls and were blown away. Don’t let the sad chips fool you, the food is great, super tasty and the portion are huge, plus it’s multiple dollars cheaper than some other places.
Whenever I’m in San Francisco, Taqueria Cancun is my go-to spot for a perfect burrito. It’s consistently delicious, served with chips, and the staff are always warm and welcoming.
Wonderful food and generous portions The green salsa is thick and chunky👌
Solid Carne Asada Super Burrito for about $16. The salsa verde is good
Fast food, good quantity, chips included, good price and mandarin Jarrito. Lively, colorful atmosphere well into the night. Staff is warm, didn't know salsa was included (verde & mildly spicier orange) and asked for some, staff was fast. Short wait, less than 10 min.
Simple, delicious, reasonably priced taqueria in the Mission that's awesome to go to whether you are drunk or not. It's justifiably popular. Love the quesadilla here especially, but you can't go wrong with the tacos. Asada, carnitas, and chorizo are my usual picks.

Very good! Great sized burritos and very delicious complimentary chips and salsa. My girlfriend really liked the chicken tacos too. Definitely will come back when I’m craving good quick Mexican food in the neighborhood!
My tacos were good enough I didn’t mind that they shorted me on my change. Chips are from a bag though…
I ordered to go, and the service was fast. The portions were big, and our burrito and torta were nicely stuffed and flavorful. 🌯 They also added tortilla chips to my bag and they were super good.
Love there shrimp Diablo, wet burritos, good prices
Great late night food option. The super burrito was spot on and very tasty. They're open until midnight, the neighborhood can be interesting at night, burrito a bit salty and definitely on the heavier side. Still a great option!
Taqueria Cancun's super burritos are pretty good. The ordering was easy and they made my burrito fairly quickly. That first bite was delicious. I especially enjoyed the included couple cups of salsa and chips. I wish it came with more chips though. It was less than 10 chips.

Hole in the wall but great chicken burrito and meal deals – if you want a quick bean + protein fix, this is the place to be.
They do a huge San Francisco burrito that gives me a dinner and lunch leftovers. The chorizo burrito is the best. I only wish they’d do the shredded spicy chicken that’s typical at most other places, but they only do grilled here. Despite that, this is my go-to burrito place because what they do have is reliable and tasty and I eat here at least once every two weeks.
Salsa and guac were watery, I got the chicken super burrito and it was only ok

Guys. Calling pico de gallo "Mexican salsa" is dumb and leads to people ordering something that don't want. This is San Francisco - everyone knows what pico de gallo is, you don't need to "simplify" the terminology. While you're at it just call carnitas "Mexican pulled pork" and Al pastor "Mexican sweet pork" 🙄

I have NO idea how this place is still in business… food is straight terrible… it’s a block from my house and i never… who are you people giving this any more than 2 stars??? wild…
Confirmed no beans, foil said no beans, burrito had no rice and double beans. Very funny, way to lose some regulars.
