Dear Rubio’s: I’m sorry.
I owe you an apology. Despite the food court standing you now have, your food is still delicious. Despite the fact that those rolled tacos above could have used less lettuce and more topping, they were, in fact, quite delicious. Despite the fact that I previously ragged on your guacamole, I know think it to […]

La Cabaña – Suisun City – The Delta
The Delta does strange things to men. Time may not behave quite like you once thought it did. The flow of the water through every pore of town washes away any preconceived notions. Up might be down. Savory might be sweet. Open might be closed, or even stranger closed might be open.

Nieto’s — Carne Asada
I’ve been thinking about a Nieto’s carne asada burrito for months. Which is odd considering that I’ve thinking for months about something I’ve never had. Nieto’s has won me over with rolled tacos, and their bean and cheese burrito, so I had high expectations about the gold standard for SoCal Mex food – the carne […]

El Tonayense
I’ve been puzzled by why these El Tonayense trucks are so popular. They aren’t very good, but yet they are everywhere, and people claim to like them. It’s not that they are bad so much as they are just extremely boring. From what I can tell, there ain’t no love in them tacos and burritos. […]

Mazatlan Taqueria & Grill
Ground beef burrito What, that’s it? Hmm, I thought there would be more to it than that. Ok, well. Fine. To be fair, the menu does say “beans, rice, salsa fresca, roasted tomato sauce and lettuce.†Now I see I could have upgraded to a super for $2.00 more, but at $5.25 for a ground […]

Rubio’s
I’ve totally been into Rubio’s fish burritos lately. They’re good despite the fact that the chain is en route to mega-corporate blandism. Perhaps it is again my San Diego background that looks past the suspiciously consistent guacamole and instead focuses on the simple flavor combinations.

Taquitos rolling into El Farolito
Birthday party for Cory. Which could only mean one thing. Drinks at the Attic. Well… two things, actually: The Attic and El Farolito. The hunt for food started after a bloody mary lunch. A slice of pizza sounded like the perfect thing to hold the hunger until burrito time. I was in the mood for […]

TAQUERIA CASTILLO – TORTA
It’s been a long time since I ordered a torta in San Francisco. The Mexican sandwich is quite often delicious, but it’s usually just wrong. I can’t imagine that a French roll plays a huge part in the history of Mexican cuisine. Unfortunately, that’s often what you find around here; Mexican ingredients on average white […]

El Tesoro
It’s rare that I walk into a taqueria for the first time and immediately know that I’ll be back. Wandering around the Tenderloin, I found myself starving and craving a burrito. Little did I know what I was about to stumble upon. I make it a point to peer into any taqueria I happen to […]

Goza-Goza Tacos
Now you see, it now you don’t. Months after the mysterious disappearance of the Cuban Taco Truck on Harrison there seems to be a reappearance… …and indeed it’s true! Mission and Goodwill, just outside of The Mission, just inside of SOMA.
