For a family of 3 it cost us $50 to eat lunch here. We each got 2 tacos and a bottle of water. Additionally we had 1 horchata and 1 coke. A bit pricey, granted we are in San Francisco.
The tacos were delicious. The crispy tacos were the way to go. They are double shelled with a soft taco on the outside. The hot sauce on the tables is delicious and in my opinion made the tacos.
The horchata was delicious and nice treat.

I really enjoyed this place the beef and pork tacos were outstanding. Lunch time is busy and hard to get a seat but definitely worth it. It was nice to get away from the tourist frenzied areas. I would definitely recommend LaTaqueria for a quick taco or burrito experience but do not expect fancy. This is down to earth!

I felt like I was in the Seinfeld Soup Natzi episode. The place was packed. All tables were occupied, and there were even more people standing in line or off to the side waiting for there food. I was a bit intimidated. Despite the long line, it went surprisingly fast, so I felt pressured to make a quick decision. Everything was pretty good, and you can ask for extras (for a price). Reasonably priced for a family of five. We even got to sit...just not together. One of my son's culinary highlights of San Francisco.

I had a pork burrito with extra avocado.
What I tasted was salty meat (yes just tasted salty, no other flavour), wrapped in a rubbery tortilla. There was no wow effect. There was disappointment.

To be honest, this was a little disappointing. I expected the best burrito in the universe and it was just okay.

We live near San Diego so we eat a lot of Mexican food- maybe that's the problem.

Just not a lot of wow factor or flavor. Bummer.
