  Have always had good experiences and food here. David has taken care of our large groups more than once with fast, friendly service. Loved their rice, just enough garlic to spice things up without being overpowering. Closest burrito joint to Ocean Beach, we'll be back!

  Food was terrible, the tortillas were cold, rice undercooked & hard, cheese was not melted. And that's right out of the kitchen. Professionalism & food are seriously lacking here.
  My friend didn't eat her meal, just the shrimp out of the tacos, said the rice & beans were inedible. Despite the fact that I wiped the salt off the table & stacked the plastic baskets the food was served in, the man ringing me up made a remark about not wanting to clean our table, then said "just kidding... kids are messy."  
  Yes we had 3 very well behaved kids at the table, (who also weren't impressed by the food). And we left pretty quickly cause the food wasn't good.
  He (owner/manager??) seemed to have trouble focusing on taking the order, I asked for "no tomatoes" on my grandsons quesadilla... he got tomatoes. The place was pretty empty, should've been first clue not to eat here.  
  Definitely not returning and recommend you skip it. There are plenty of other places in the neighborhood with decent food and far too many great Mexican restaurants in SF to waste your calories or money here.

  How is it possible that their spicy chicken burrito doused with salsa from their salsa bar has a spice level of 0 ?
  
  Came here to grab a burrito for a late lunch. The place was empty, but it was 2 pm so understandable.  A guy (owner?) pointed towards the back where the menus were on a display board.
  
  Spicy + chicken sounded so good. They asked if I want regular or super.  They're the same size but super has cheese, sour cream and something else the cook mumbled.  Basically things that will make the burrito unauthentic. I got a regular which consists of chicken, my choice of beans: retried, and rice. It also had some diced tomatoes and resembled a salsa that's completely not spicy, but slightly sweet.  
  
  The chicken was taken out from either the fridge or freezer, thrown in the grill and rolled into a flour shell. It had very little flavor, little actual chicken, zero heat and retried beans that I could not detect.  
  
  Perhaps this is one of the most unauthentic Mexican food I've ever had.  And for nearly $10, it was small and didn't even include chips, while just about every other place does include.
  
  I much rather drive out to Taraval St. to get burritos then come back here.  
  
  Flavor and value are both a 2.

  Nothing special about this place. Uses bagged chips, canned salsa, mediocre ingredients. So many better options in the area and city. Hard pass.

  I will never eat here again. Service was slow, portions were small, price was high, and taste was mediocre. But that didn't compel me to write this review. What compelled me to write this review was the employee who rung me up at the end of my meal.
  
  This guy asked a seemingly innocuous question about if I'd been living in the neighborhood for a while, to which I replied that my fiancé and I were just moving in up the street, and that I didn't have a job yet. This prompted a long and uncomfortable rant about how I was an idiot for not having a job and was going to burn through my savings, and that I should be careful about marrying my fiancé, because, in his opinion, women just use men and throw them out, and if I get married she's just going to divorce me and take my money. I would have left the situation, but he managed to keep holding onto my credit card through this 3+ minute misogynistic rant, forcing me to listen to him complain about his ex wives leaving him and how they stopped having sex with him after having kids. The rant was delivered at a mile a minute, and the employee was clearly high on cocaine, given their dilated pupils, patterns of speech, and how frequently he was licking his gums.
  
  I'm really thankful that my fiancé was at work, and didn't have to hear this hateful filth. Somehow this guy thinks that it's the inherent evil of women that lead to his life failures, and not the fact that he's a 50 year old man who still does cocaine at work. Our family loves burritos, and I was hoping we'd find a go to spot when I initially walked in. In a way, I'm glad for this experience, because now I already know to look elsewhere and not support this hateful man child and the people who do business with him financially.
