This is the perfect stop for delicious authentic food. The service is great and quick! It’s cheaper too! Took it to the park and ate it, so yummy.

Hands down the best “RIBEYE BARRIA” I have ever had. The beef is like a pot roast your grandmother cooked & the flavors are simple/authentic. Everything is fresh! The verde salsa has perfect flavor and not too spicy! It’s traditionally prepared and presented to a T! I never write more than a couple words on a review -THIS IS A MUST if you haven’t been and I highly recommend El Rancho Grande. Support this gem on Irving Street SF! While California is blessed to have a wide range of foods this is a KEEPER?

Delicious and expedient. Despite being relatively packed, I was very impressed that the food was out within 5 minutes. Must be an extremely efficient kitchen! The chips and salsa were also free and good.

The BEST Mexican in the NOPA/Haight area, I’ve been coming here weekly/monthly since 2018, and always get the Super Burrito. If you eat in the restaurant, you can ask for free chips and salsa (though they’ll typically offer), and there’s grilled onions and hot peppers in a free condiments bar.

DELICIOUS!! Had the classic margarita (which is frozen) and the enchiladas. The guacamole was everything I needed it to be — super fresh and super tasty. My friend had the chicken quesadilla which tasted as good as it looked. They also give you free chips and salsa when you sit down which was nice. Yum!!

Me and my friend agreed this deserved 5 star. The loaded quesadilla alone constituted a perfect rating. The staff was friendly and suggested all the food we ordered. The beef tongue was great, the shrimp was good, carne asada and carnitas was great. Chips and unlimited salsa to start, cheap beers. Had a great dinner here. Go try it!!

Fantastic, unassuming spot with truly delicious and hard-to-find Mexican specialties. The Mission taquerias may get all the hype, but why fight the crowds there when you can get your delicious taqueria staples (carne asada here is awesome) like tacos, burritos, nachos, tortas, and quesadillas, as well as rare dishes like camarones a la diabla (slightly sweet, VERY tasty) and the molcajetes, which you can get in rojo or verde sauces. I have a slight preference for rojo but both are superb, well worth sharing with a friend or two. I didn't have a go-to spot for Mexican food until now; I'm so glad to find it in my neighborhood!

I really like this place. Food there is great 4 times out of 5. I go here all the time and often am satisfied, but sometimes, inconsistently, the quality doesn’t measure up. Love the food, great hours, please just be a little more consistent.

Fantastic tacos w some of the "rellenos" that are a bit harder to find like buche, lengua, tripa and cabeza. Cheap and delicious.

We drove all the way from Sacramento for a night in San Francisco and were looking for a taco place to grab a quick bite late at night. Man, were we happy that we found this place. We tried tacos, enchiladas, and Chile Relleno, and everything was super tasty. A small location with big flavors.

I’ve ate here before and it was okay but tonight, they scraped the burnt bottom of their too-salty chile verde to make my burrito. Only the tortilla was edible. I was so disappointed. Like why the hell would you serve the burnt bottom of food to anyone.

I have to say this is the most disgusting burrito I’ve ever had in my entire life. Usually there’s something redeemable about a burrito but this one was just horrible all around. The guacamole was runny and tasteless, the chile relleno pepper was hard, and in general it tasted like one of the ingredients had gone bad. Turns out it was the salsa. It has some kind of sweet flavor that tastes like it’s turned. Unfortunately, I didn’t discover this until I got home. I just threw it out. And I got charged 25¢ bag fee, which isn’t that much, but I literally had a bag with me that I could’ve put the burrito in if she’d asked. What a waste of money. Don’t go here.
