The Scene – The white stucco exterior mimics traditional Mexican adobe, while the small-though-spacious interior features thick wooden tables, both for small groups and for communal dining. The open kitchen runs the length of one side of the restaurant, while a colorful mural, depicting pyramids and other Mexican cultural icons, runs the length of the other. – – The Food – Tacos are what this place does best. Hot griddled tortillas stuffed with melted cheese, beans, meat and salsa make a savory, incredibly satisfying snack. Of the meat choices, carne asada (beef) and…

Resting on laurels
by longtimeresident at Citysearch
This is one of the many examples of a place that achieved notoriety some years ago and has let it go to their heads. Watch out for extra charges ($2 for avocado on the burrito). Ended up at $10 per burrito ! The burritos are narrow (small), quite juicy (runny). The green sauce is inedible unless you have a teflon tongue..and this they are liberal with. Cash only. With so many other taquerias in SF that aim to please, this one should be avoided until it gets some customer service.
- Pros: Quick service
- Cons: Overpriced, small portions, cash only

Get the tacos. Everything else is pretty good but the tacos are the best around. Order them 'crispy' and ask for cheese. Best tacos in all of SF.

BEST. MEXICAN. EVER
by insideguy at Citysearch
All I'm going to say is that if aliens landed, and abducted me, and they gave me a choice of any last requests, LA TAQUERIA is going to be my last meal on Earth!!!!!

Best flavors for worste price
by corruptcompassion at Citysearch
What can I say, if money's no object, then this spot is worth it. I make it a point to eat at taqueria's in our fair city, and when compared to others, La Taqueria has the best flavors. The quality of beef is the highest I've had in any taqueria, the custom hot sauce is delicious, all of the ingredients are fresh, and the meat is cooked just right. I've also had veggie burrito's around the city, and this place tops it for me. The taco's are on my top 5 list in the city; cooked so the corn tortilla is a bit crunchy, packed full, and presented beautifully.
The big downside to this place is the price. Right now, it's almost 10 bucks for a meat burrito. The veggie burrito is a good price though. Also, there is no rice in their burrito's, and some people hate that. I've eaten at La Taqueria over 50 times in my life, and I've eaten at as many other taqueria's I could find. I have to say that I'm rarely disappointed by La Taqueria.
- Pros: Fresh flavor, high quality ingredients.
- Cons: Expensive, Bad Parking.
