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 carnitas (pork) are the most popular, but diners can also get chicken, chorizo or tongue. Since no rice is used, the burritos aren't the belly-busting logs found elsewhere. Though they might look skimpy to some, diners actually get more meat--and flavor--for their buck.

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.

La Taqueria is a classic mission restaurant that is authentically delicious. The food is consistently great even though the place is prone to overcrowding. The staff is used to working well when their is a crowd so if there is a line do not let is scare you away. They will get you in and out fast with great food.

I love their burritos. I always get the carne asada with the green sauce, it is the best. The prices are great, they make your food really fast and it tastes amazing. I definitely recommend you eat here!
