Came here twice, two different times on a weekend. Always a long line. There is a long long wait. Average about an hour long. Easy set up. Pay for what you want and seat where they tell you. No seats if you ask for to go. Remember that! You may sit with others if you are on a long table. There are some big group tables but might have to wait a bit. They do serve beer but no cocktails. Their portions are very generous. Had their regular taco carne asado. Can't image how big the super tacos are?? I love their burritos dorado style. No rice in their burritos so it doesn't make you super full. Love it! Crispy in the outside of the tortillas. Can't really ask to customize anything. Love their green spicy sauce and it's available on the table when you eat. You can buy the bottle as well. Very decent prices. Service is decent. Would come here again but can't come here when I am starving.

The hype is justified. The best carne asada super burrito I have ever tasted. Definitely get it toasted. I wish it were spicier, but still. Premium ingredients and cooked perfectly. Strawberry aqua fresca was also very good. At 3pm on Thursday, the wait in line was 16 minutes and 12 minutes to make the food. No issues sitting a solo, if you don't mind sharing a table.

I finally had the chance to taste what is arguably the most famous burrito in all of SF. I went close to noon on weekday, and the queue was about 15 minutes long. The line moves incredibly fast, and before I knew I was already placing my order. I got the burrito they are known for which is their carne asada super burrito. I got it toasted. You place your order at the front, and then you go inside and pay your bill, and then you wait for them to call your number. The inside of the restaurant is packed, and often you will be sharing your table with other Diners, making it a very communal form of dining. My burrito took about 10 minutes to arrive, and it was probably the best burrito I have ever eaten. It wasn’t as hefty as other burritos, given the lack of rice, which gives it volume, but the meat was so tender, the beans were so well seasoned, and the sour cream, and the guac was so creamy. This was such a satisfying burrito and also the perfect portion size for one person. I will definitely be back, but I also want to try some other burritos in the neighbourhood.

Famous burrito spot in Mission district. Long wait but the burrito is excellent. Taste of everything is superb. Really enjoyed the Super because it includes sour cream, cheese and avocado which just elevates the flavor. Vibe is authentic and there's nothing extra. You're just there for the good food! I would recommend a weekday as the line can be quite long and get there early!

La Taqueria is often called the world’s best burrito spot, and after tasting it myself, I can see why it has such a devoted following. Every burrito is packed with fresh ingredients, perfectly seasoned, and wrapped with care—the flavors hit just the right balance of bold and comforting. I’d give it an 8.5/10—almost perfection. The portions are generous without feeling heavy, and every bite is satisfying. While a few small details kept it from feeling completely elevated, the overall experience is still outstanding and absolutely worth visiting if you’re in San Francisco. For anyone serious about burritos, La Taqueria is a must-stop!
