El Rancho Grande

Me and my friend agreed this deserved 5 star. The loaded quesadilla alone constituted a perfect rating. The staff was friendly and suggested all the food we ordered. The beef tongue was great, the shrimp was good, carne asada and carnitas was great. Chips and unlimited salsa to start, cheap beers. Had a great dinner here. Go try it!!

This place is my favorite! I am an SF mission native and have tried a high percentage of taquerias and this is one of my favorite. Don’t know if it’s related to the one on haight but the one on haight was extremely unpleasant and this one was just consistently amazing. The steak has this great grill smoke flavor and the Al pastor is amazing. Some days u get better Al pastor than others- I like the crunchy pieces. But they always pay attention to my special instructions and the tortas are great. I haven't tried much other meats but the asada and pastor are great and the salads are also delicious. One thing: eating there gives the full 5 star experience. They have a salsa bar that is a plethora of delicious salsas. When you order though, they should start give salsas- no salsas come with the chips or food so either purchase or ask for a side praying they'll get it. All in all, amazing. The pozole was also great!

Fantastic, unassuming spot with truly delicious and hard-to-find Mexican specialties. The Mission taquerias may get all the hype, but why fight the crowds there when you can get your delicious taqueria staples (carne asada here is awesome) like tacos, burritos, nachos, tortas, and quesadillas, as well as rare dishes like camarones a la diabla (slightly sweet, VERY tasty) and the molcajetes, which you can get in rojo or verde sauces. I have a slight preference for rojo but both are superb, well worth sharing with a friend or two. I didn't have a go-to spot for Mexican food until now; I'm so glad to find it in my neighborhood!
