The Little Chihuahua, San Francisco
This pozole was pretty good! I think I’ve had better and more authentic versions in the Mission, but this had great depth of flavor with great ingredients.
Marinated short rib, ssamjang aioli, Asian slaw, cilantro, onion, roasted sesame seeds. ₩7,900
Vatos Urban Tacos, Seoul SOUTH KOREA
These tacos were great! The short rib was so flavorful and the ssamjang aioli was super tasty. The tortillas were really different too. They almost seemed like they were made from rice instead of corn. It seemed fitting.
Chips and salsa. Complimentary
Seasoned French fries, braised carnitas, sauteed kimchi, cheese, cilantro onion, sour cream, Vatos hot sauce. ₩12,500
Vatos Urban Tacos, Seoul SOUTH KOREA
This was sinfully yummy! I wish there was more Korean flavors in there to make it more interesting, but it was pretty damn good overall. A definite gut-buster but it certainly hits the spot and tastes great with beer!
Magpie pale ale. ₩7,500
Carne asada, carnitas, and pollo pibil. Handmade corn tortillas, queso fresco, crema, avocado, and pico de gallo. Each $4
Tacorgasmico, San Francisco CA
These tacos were pretty good. I like the texture of the warm tortillas and the proteins were pretty tasty too. It wasn’t on the menu description, but the pickled red cabbage was an excellent addition.
Chorizo with eggs and potatoes, handmade corn tortilla stuffed with black refried beans, lettuce, crema, queso fresco, and avocado. $5
Tacorgasmico, San Francisco CA
I liked this. The handmade corn tortilla had a great texture and was yummy. The chorizo filling was also rich and flavorful. It was on the small side, but then again it only cost five bucks.
With onions and cilantro. Each $2.95
Tropisueno, San Francisco CA
I hadn’t had the al pastor taco here and it was kind of surprising to see the large pineapple chunks thrown on top. It somehow seemed unauthentic and cheese. Regardless, the tacos still tasted great.
Made to order and served in a traditional mocajete. $6
Tacorgasmico, San Francisco CA
I’m not sure if they were out of mocajetes, but the guacamole was definitely served in a ramekin. Not a big deal, but don’t write something on your menu that you’re not going to do. This guacamole order was really small, even for six bucks. Lame. And I really doubt it was “made to order”.
With onions and cilantro. Each $2.95
Tropisueno, San Francisco CA
These tacos are pretty simple and non-fussy, but the meats are tasty and their salsa bar is great. Mmm…
Pork marinated in achiote lemon sauce with marinated red onions, peppers and garlic. Served with rice, black beans, salad, guacamole, sour cream and salsa.
La Tortilla, San Francisco CA
I liked the flavor of the pork, but it was really dry. I wish they could have used a different cut or added more fat into the dish.
Chicken with home made chocolate plantain mole, served with rice, black beans, salad, guacamole, sour cream and salsa.
La Tortilla, San Francisco CA
This was pretty good. I liked the flavor of the mole. I chicken that I received was a huge breast piece which was a bit dry. I always prefer the juicier dark pieces.
Fresh Ecuadorian tilapia, Negra Modelo battered, fried with salsa verde, sour cream, house slaw. $4.75
Sauteed shrimp, salsa verde, sour cream, house slaw. $4.75
Tropisueno, San Francisco CA
Mmm, seafood tacos are the best. These were on the small side for the price, but they tasted great. The salsa bar at Tropisueno is still one of my favorite things for lunch.
Wild fried cod, chipotle salsa ($4.50). Braised beef tongue with tomatillo salsa ($3.50). Served with side of black beans with queso fresco.
Uno Dos Tacos, San Francisco CA
Tacos for lunch always makes for a yummy lunch! I think the fish tacos are still my favorite, but their lengua is a close second.
