Great food and very filling! I shared a super burrito and was very satisfied from my half portion if you're not too hungry. I went in around 7:30pm on a Friday and there was no wait and lots of seating open.

CARNE ASADA BURRITO WAS AMAZING. So far the best burrito in san fran. Acocado salsa has a GOOD kick- very delicious.

This is the best Mexican food you'll find outside of the mission. Price to meat ratio is on point! The meat in my super burrito carne asada was tender and flavorful used the red salsa to add a small kick. Overall it's hole in the wall spot that does disappoint with fast service.

Always a treat to come here. Solid super burritos & quesadillas (get it with carne asada/al pastor), large portions at a reasonable price. It's usually too much for me to finish. I usually go before the dinner rush but it can get crowded fast as the inside isn't too roomy. The food comes out hot and the meat is juicy. The salsas are good. Great Mexican food in the North Beach area.

This is definitely a gem for quick Mexican food in SF. From the low prices to the quality of the ingredients, this is worth checking out! The restaurant is smaller with a few tables, so you might need to head earlier before the lunch rush to find a seat. Otherwise a lot of customers will order to go. The order process is very fast, as they accept credit cards and cash. There is also a tip jar at the front. They will call your order number within a couple minutes to pick up so it's very convenient. We shared a torta with extra meat (pollo) and it was delicious! The bread comes toasted, and it provides a nice crunch factor. You also get a generous portion of jalapeños, avocado slice, meat and cheese. Be wary of the messiness of course with each bite, so load up on napkins! Overall, I recommend coming here for the fast service, great food, and cheap prices!

Delicious Mexican spot in the heart of North Beach. Perfect place after bar hopping. I highly recommend the Super Quesadilla with Al Pastor. There are 2 quesadilla slices in one serving. The Super Quesadilla Para 2 can easily feed 2-3 people or have leftovers for a couple of meals. There are about 6-8 slices of quesadilla in one order of the Super Quesadilla Para 2. Very cost-efficient and the portions are HUGE. The service is friendly and super quick. Highly recommend!
