Tacos San Buena

Aw, I'm so sad I don't happen to work around the corner from these folks anymore, they make such a solid Super Veggie Burrito - good size for lunch (not too big, not too small) and while the components are totally standard (rice, whole pintos, pico, guac, lettuce, sour cream, cheese), they all come together so nicely into a delectable example of the classic. On regular occasion I'd see him chopping up the veggies for the pico right there as he made the burrito, and the beans have a slightly smokey taste, almost like they have some barbecue sauce in them? Beauty in a lunch staple (: More...

I'm used to super cheap Mexican food, so paying $8 for a burrito was a little steep for me. Then again, it's a food truck with no other Mexican food competition in the same price range nearby. Food wasn't bad, and definitely did the job of filling me up. Not sure I'd go out of my way to get this again, but if I'm in the area and craving Mexican, I wouldn't mind eating it again. More...

Best authentic tacos in Bay Area! Past few years, we've had the pleasure to enjoy their delicious tacos at a friend's annual summer party in the heart of La Mission District in SF. When the taco truck drove up to the house, we all formed in line to carefully select our 1st plate, only to return for a 2d and yes sometimes 3ds! My favorites are the pastor and carnitas perfectly seasoned meats spread in homemade corn tortilla and salsa, w/ slices of lime and cilantro. Can't wait til the next party coming soon! More...

Was around the area for work and always saw this food truck here but never had time to try it until today, they are pretty good. The fact that the there is a coffee truck right next to this makes it a even better reason to come by. I ordered the fish taco and burrito and it was nice pretty good! I recommend trying their fish taco, it is worth it and make you want to keep ordering more. Pricing wise isn't that bad either it's the same price almost that you can get from other Mexican restaurant, super burrito for $8.50 and fish taco for $2. What a awesome deal!   Overall a great food truck if your around the financial district area, and craving some Mexican food. Definitely going to come back to try the rest of their menu! More...

This place is a few blocks away from my work and my coworker swears it's the best Mexican food truck she's had. Pretty hard to judge that it's the best noting I'm from Los Angeles and we have some amazing Mexican food in general there. Anyways after a short walk it seems like everyone was ordering a burrito. They have a regular vs super. The difference is that the super one (for 50 cents more) gets guacamole and sour cream. Everyone was ordering al pastor so I went along and get a super al pastor burrito. Now my standard for good Mexican food truck style food is high and I can say this is on par with LA trucks. For $8.50 you get a huge burrito! Def recommend getting the al pastor. Super flavorful and they ask if you want it spicy or mild. I also got the horchata for $2.50 but you should skip it. It was such a tiny cup and wasn't worth it. Come for the burrito and head over to the rooftop garden to have an amazing lunch! Lines may be long but they are really fast! More...

This is definitely the best burrito I've had in the financial district. I have not had the tacos, but friends have and they are reportedly good as well. They have a slightly wider selection of meats than many places, including lengua. Fast and efficient. Even when the line is long it doesn't take more than ten minutes to get through it. More...

I was able to walk my dog, conveniently order a super al pastor burrito, watch the man cook it in a timely and clean manner, and go back home! Quick, simple, and geezus, this is one solid burrito.As much as people tell me to go to El Farrolito and that it's their favorite, I just won't go there anymore. This taco truck is my new spot because the al pasto burrito was oozing with flavor and authenticity and it's slighter closer to my house by one block. The al pastor was marinated just right and did not leave a greasy feel in my mouth like El Farolito's burrito.To the bike haters below...let me count how many times ya'll illegally don't stop at the Harrison stop sign. Oh yeah, I lost count because ya'll never stop! That's a safety hazard, too. You don't even stop for a pedestrian and her dog! GO FIND ANOTHER STREET TO BIKE ON.Anyway, this food truck is delicious. Ignore the haters because from their reviews they obviously haven't tried the food. More...

Not usually a fan of Mexican food but today I decided to get a burrito for lunch. My coworkers always come here and recommended that I should try it one of these days. Well, today i did! Ordered a regular beef burrito which comes with beans, rice, onion, cilantro, and your choice of meet. Beef was cooked perfectly and it was the perfect combo of rice with the rest of the toppings. The burrito itself was HUGE for being a regular size. Pretty sure I don't have to eat for the rest of the day lol. will definitely be back! More...

Perfect place to stop by for lunch. They're pretty quick.You know it's legit when they have cabeza and lengua as an option of meat. I usually get the carnitas and asada and the flavors are definitely there for their tacos.  Tacos come with cilantro and onion mix and a type of salsa ranging from mild to spicy. If you want guac or cheese or what not, it's extra. So yummy! Whenever I have no clue what to eat, I come by here (which is right across the street from my office so why not?).  Their burritos are huge and full of ingredients. Not skimpy at all. They have Mexican Coke and horchata. Yum! Although, the coke is pretty pricey but I got one anyways once because I felt like I deserved it due to the day I had at work! Hah. But it is a big bottle for 3 dollars.**TIP** I love their fish tacos and if you want to try it, the owner told me they usually have em on Fridays. I always forget about it on Fridays and bring lunch. Maybe I should take my own advice! hah. More...

The San Buena Truck is, LITERALLY, the closest source of food for me. They are a 'stone's throw away'; if you throw like a girl. Needing a quick bite before meetings, I ordered the Carnitas Super Burrito with no beans (no need for 'interruptions' during the meetings). I came at a good time because the line grew to 10 people within a minute. My order took a little longer than I expected and I went towards the window out of curiosity. The guy behind me in line ordered three burritos and his order was sitting ready to go out. Then I hear the cashier asking the cook about my carnitas super burrito, the cook said (in Spanish) that he messed up and added the 'pinchy frijoles'. The cashier told the cook to hurry up cuz the orders were backing up. When my burrito was complete, the cashier yelled out 'carnitas super burrito', to which I replied 'no pinchy frijoles?' He chuckled and handed me my burrito.The burrito was very good, nice portions for a super burrito (only $.50 for the upgrade). The carnitas was very tender and the burrito was smothered with guacamole =D. The amount of cheese and sour cream was pretty scarce, maybe a bite or two and one SINGLE bean in my burrito. I think the cook was trying to make a point. More...

I f*cking love tacos. Aside from the Mexican food why else would we be living in the Mission?One night some buddies of mine came over and we decided to walk down to the mexican restaurant on 22nd and Harrison. For whatever reason the restaurant was closed, but right behind us was a taco truck. Figuring we already walked this far, lets just get some tacos from here and go back to the bar. I don't think anyone spoke a word while we were walking back to the Saloon on Potrero and Mariposa. I've only ever had the asada but I'd never give up a chance at their AMAZINGLY marinated beef. On top of that you're getting some great verde salsa (I'd also like to think of myself as a green salsa expert), and of course a few lines.Nothing fancy.. Tacos are $2. Service is great, the dude I normally see working the truck couldn't be nicer.  5 well deserved stars. More...

If you're an SF native, you've seen your fair share of new trendy food trucks. Mexican, Indian, Cupcakes, Ice Cream, Sushi? What's your pleasure? You name it, SF has a food truck for it. I think we're probably one of the few cities that even has festivals dedicated to food trucks! Why do I mention all of this? I sincerely believe a lot of these trucks are more based on marketing and hoopla and not on quality and substance. The San Buena Taco Truck on Shotwell and 16th is not an example of such a food truck. It is the exact opposite. It doesn't have a zany design or flashy names for it's food products, but it's just darn great food. Objectively speaking, the food is good - it's solid good food. However, when you take into account the ridiculously cheap prices ($1.75 per chicken taco), then we go from good to mind-blowingly amazing and out of this world. That's why I keep going back for more. And don't forget to get some horchata while you're there! More...

I'm so glad this taco truck has the high rating that deserves.I tend to judge a Mexican place by their tacos.  I know what real tacos are like living in southern California, where they have some awesome Mexican food.  I haven't found many places in San Francisco, but this place is an exception along with Tacolicious (even though it's in the Marina, tacos are surprisingly exceptional).So far I've had everything except the buche (neck) and the vegetarian.  Everything has been solid and tasty for $1.75 per taco.  Lately I've been really hooked on the tripitas (which actually isn't tripe.  It's the lower intestines.  Ewwwwww).  I really like how crisp and semi-crunch because how they prepare it.  Not chewy much which I like.  Lengua (tongue) isn't unbearable at all, but not my favorite.  I default to their al pastor and asada.  The chicken was good too.Very nice workers and super chill (as everyone in taco trucks tend to be.  I personally prefer this place over El Tonayennse but I won't hate against them since they also taste good.GO HERE!!!!

One hand on my canteen. One hand on my carne asada super burrito. As I carefully unraveled the foil around this bundle of goodness, I knew it was going to be messy. I took my first bite - definitely one of the juiciest burritos I had ever had. I quickly tried to wiggle out some napkins in my pocket with my pinky (my hand was occupied by my canteen) in hopes that I would wipe off the delicious embarrassment off my face before anyone notices - it was not a pretty sight. I came here thinking the burritos were $5.75 because of the picture on yelp. It was not. It is $6.50 and that picture was taken 2 years ago. Anyway, burritos are cheaper than other places but other places provides a chair to sit on and chips to munch on. All in all a great experience, even though I spent my time turned away from people as I shamelessly scarfed down the burrito. More...
