Taqueria Vallarta

Located in the middle of the food corridor, 24th Street, San Francisco. A taqueria offhand large selection of Mexican dishes, a large selection of vegetarian burritos and 4 kinds of aguas frescas. This Taqueria caters to hungry people from 10:00 and closes at 2:00 every day. On the menu you’ll find that they serve Pozole and Menudo every day, the Pozole I ordered was well done and it contained plenty of Pata (cow’s foot) with no hominy, the broth was a bit on the hot side with a nice red color. A special area dedicated to serve tacos only Mexico City style with several meat options to please everyone. A popular place to visit after night clubbing specially on the weekends.

So tasty! We got an assortment of tacos and all were delicious. I had a big horchata which I also loved. Not a taco expert but these sure taste like the ones we had in Mexico. There’s outdoor seating option, inside has plenty of space too and it was relatively empty when we went I don’t know how. Honestly, great stuff.

A friend had recommended Taqueria Vallarta when I had been looking for a place to grab a late night snack after watching a show in downtown San Francisco. Ended up really loving the authentic taste and variety of available tacos, reasonably priced and open fairly late. This has become now my go to place after any shows or concerts in San Francisco. Really love their Al Pastor and Lengua.

Probably the best tacos and burritos you'll have in the Mission District. They are open late. You order at the counter and find a table which you have a choice of indoor or outdoor. They make the tacos right in front of you. $4 each. Burritos are huge! Next door there is an alley filled with the most incredible murals you have ever seen. This is not just a place to eat, it's an adventure.

Great tasting Tacos that remind me of the flavors of Mexico. The flavors of spices, citrus, herbs such as cilantro, tortilla maize. Essentially, the 4th of July of flavor in each Taco bite. Taqueria Vallarta is seriously pumping out Tacos in a unique manner. When you first enter Taqueria Vallarta, the Taco counter and the prep cook, stand alone and is ready for your order. In an interesting fashion, your Tacos are prepared while you wait and then directly handed to you. At this point you continue waiting in line with the tacos in your hand to pay the cashier. The amount of meat whether it be Pollo Asada, Carne Asada, or Birria is overflowing from the corn tortilla. The menu is vast with various types of ingredients to create a food bliss. I am very impressed because In the 30 minutes I spent for lunch at Vallarta, I observed at least 50 orders of tacos being served. What a unique old school Taqueria. I highly recommend a visit.

Cabeza, Lengua y Carne Asada tacos were all devoured in a second after spending 9 hours at the 24th Street tattoo shop down the street. Open late at night with great friendly open seating atmosphere. Thank you for being open to refuel me and get me safely back home for my long drive down to South Bay. Would happily come back and eat more tacos cuz they were perfect in all the ways tacos should be. I loved all the people that shared the space with me just eating with their people and enjoying the night United by food.
