Their burritos are super filling… and it was super good, not dry at all. And the woman at the counter was super friendly and that’s definitely a fresh of breath air. ☺️

I went to this place just because I was in the area and was super hungry!!! I’m so glad I went here!!! I ordered super chicken quesadilla! It was amazing!!! 👌👌👌 portion was really good, salsa and chips amazing!!! Staff was friendly…clean place, fast service and menu was very easy to read and understand. It’s a must try in Daly City! I will definitely be back if I’m in Daly City! Must visit!!

First time here. Ordered three tacos: asada (steak), carnitas, and lengua (tongue). Being Mexican, I specifically choose these three meats to rate how good a place is. This place did not disappoint. Super meaty and flavorful. I had to use a fork to eat the meat that fell out on each bite. Good cilantro:onion ratio which is really important. Why not 5 stars? Their spiciest sauce was not so spicy, I was expecting more. Will definitely be back though!

My go-to burrito place in Daly City. Friendly staff, delicious and decently priced food. Plain interior, but who cares?

Awesome little place in the middle of anywhere but a commercial strip, but, take the time to go there youll see that the food is real Mexican (a delightful treat at that), and the accommodations is just like south of the border, if you get my drift. But kidding aside, this place has all the right stuff and the service is good. Seating is a bit off, but take out is just fine. Yummy #MexicanFood though! (see what I mean -- about the exterior?). #TheBrokerWithAHeart

Found this place through others reviews. I got the super carne asada burrito. Steak was cooked on the spot and not just sitting around like some other places where it can get dry and tough to chew. Overall blended well with other ingredients. Friendly customer service and standard pricing for the area. Only drawback is parking is very limited. Fortunately I was with someone and they dropped me off as they waited a few steps at the 76 gas station. Will be coming back when Im in the area.

This place is great, their burritos are delicious, some of the best Ive ever tasted. Their salsa is delicious as well, and I hate salsa. Its not very spicy, just has a great flavor. Theyre also one of the only Burrito spots that actually seasons their rice, I honestly cant believe more restaurants dont do this. Besides all that though, their prices are comparable to everywhere else that sells burritos. But more than anything else, their service is impeccable and theyre very friendly.Would definitely recommend anyone to go there.

The Chicken Super Burrito is amazing. There is a nice portion of sour cream, and the way they marinade this chicken honestly makes it my favorite chicken burrito in the bay area. Better than any chicken burritos in the mission. I highly recommended this restaurant.

Wow, what a nice surprise and a great find! Fried chicken sold out next store and this has good reviews so decided to eat here instead. My mom and I both had the lunch plates, asada and carnitas. Generous portions, including guacamole, salad, etc., and rice was soo delicious. Both meats were great. I would definitely come back here to try more of their other dishes.

THE FOOD HERE IS AMAZING, BUT I went there yesterday (July 16) and found the place closed (no warning). I had been there earlier last week and had raved about it to the person I caretake for, but found the place closed. I was not driving so I had to settle on a similar type of food, walk up to Mission and was disappointed. SO, If you call, wait and talk to a person so youll know the place is open because ITS WORTH IT. YUMMY! I know, I grew up eating all of it. So happy I found another one locally because there are 3 locations.

Ive been eating at this place for the better part of my life, ever sense I was in preschool. Now that Im starting my senior year at high school I feel like I owe my respects to this place. Ive either have had part of every single dish or the whole thing from here. The nachos, the burritos, the tacos. My personal favorite is the eggs with chorizo. The only problem with the place has gotten a little run down over the years, but thats okay. I view them more like battle scars and such lol. But seriously though, you should go here.

Had the super burrito and it was good. Tried to ask for a complete entree with rice and beans but the young lady thought I was asking for side dishes...the same thing for beer as she could not recommend anything. However in all fairness it is probably a cultural gap. The restaurant offers more selection if you know what you want.

Great food, great service. Made fresh and out quickly. Cant ask for more. Surf and turf burrito was off the hook. Matched with green salsa and jalapenos. Perfect. My go to spot from now on. Hard to find a good taqueria in daly city...this for sure is the spot.

Carnitas had great flavor. There wasnt much in the burrito but the tacos had plenty of meat. Parking isnt great, best to go when its not too busy. Food was hot and fresh.

Review №22

2014-01-25 03:22:59

This place is tiny and you could easily drive by it. The inside lacks any real decor but it is clean and well lit. That said this order at the counter joint does not disappoint. Prices are reasonable and the food is great and authentic! Chile relleños are made fresh when you order them and are huge (that’s something not many even much more expensive places do). The rice and beans were also yummy and you could tell they were not sitting in a steam table all day. The salsa bar is fresh and full of flavor. They also have a jukebox tucked in the corner, which it can be startling when it starts blaring out of nowhere.

The cook & order taker should remember that some customers can understand the Spanish language, the verbage, words, conversation between them was not appropriate. I was with my family & we were bothered. Oh yes, the food was very good.

After reading few reviews I decided to try their shrimp tacos and veggie burritos. Their price slightly higher than somewhere else. I ordered to go so when I came home I found out that their tacos mostly lettuce on it and the burritos too salty. Haha that’s my first and last experienced thru this restaurant.

Review №25

2015-05-01 17:30:58

Very tasty and filling food. Looks dirty but tastes normal enough. I didnt get sick from the last few times I tried it so its a good sign. For the price it is a very good deal for the amount of food and how good it tastes.

This little hole in the wall is the best kept secret in Daly City. Well maybe not now after this review. The tacos are perfectly seasoned and perfectly sized. What makes the tacos stand out is that they (lightly) crisp the tortillas. I can only provide feedback on the carne asada and pollo asado options which are great.The full service salsa bar has red and green medium to hot options. No mild. The pico de gallo is medium.My favorite drink, horchata, has the right amount of milk, rice and cinnamon. And its definitely not watered down and not too sweet.

Terrible experience. Called on phone and was told wait would be 40 minutes. The useless employee at the register had no clue what I ordered and told me they were making something else. I said maybe they misheard me and he said they cant give me the order because it might be someone elses. Stupid way to run a business. You lost a customer and you will lose many more, will never recommend this place. I waited an hour expecting my food to be ready. Did not even ask for my name over the phone.

One of the best taco shops Ive found in this area so far, carnitas are good but no micheladas 😥 another place with steamed tortillas though 🤮 gosh I miss homemade

Ordered some carne Assad burrito to go and go totally some thing.. I been ordering burritos nin this place for 10 yrs even before it took over and they gave us wrong food and doesn’t want to acknowledge it. I guess I will not be going in this places anymore. I usually order for my staffs for lunch meetings and events

Really good food. Small place. Might be hard to park at times but I found parking pretty close. The steak super burrito enchilada style was delicious

Review №31

2013-10-12 00:45:49

If youre in a bind ( I mean in the mood for meh Mexican cuisine) and in the Daly City area, Id maybe suggest this place. Their enchilada sauce is tasty but its more tomato-y than anything so with cheese they couldve fooled me into thinking I was eating Italian type foods, even though I was eating a chicken enchilada. I also got the Super Lengua burrito, it was kind of bland, but tasted better with the green tomatillo sauce, the lengua was a bit stringy and kept getting stuck between my teeth ( didnt have that chewy yet melt in your mouth texture that Im used to with lengua ... the best for that, that Ive tried so far is Taqueria el Metate in Belmont), also you get your $$ worth in Belmont, you order a super burrito.. you get this fat log of a burrito... wet burrito... youre in heaven. They make everything fresh there even their chips (I cant say the same for Los Metates, as I witnessed the lady behind the counter dump out some chips from one of those big ass Costco bought tortilla bag o chips. For enchiladas I would drive to Fremont for it (the best melt in your mouth enchiladas I had besides homemade ones from a friend were from Los Cabos in Fremont).Oh and I forgot to mention, I also got an horchata (my favorite drink), you would think that when the lady poured out the horchata from the tub and I could see the layer of sediment at the bottom that their horchata would be pretty thick and creamy.. boo to my dismay it was thin and watery. :(

Good flavor in the dishes with Mexican seasoning, they have photos of a typical urban landscape of Mexico City. Green enchiladas are good even when the tortilla is flour, but the sauce is good. Horchata water is very refreshing.
