      I was craving both loaded burritos and loaded nachos one day so I knew I had to get some.

      The Special Burrito I got was basically like a super burrito, but without the lettuce. I loved how loaded the burrito was and the Super Nachos came in a large portion which was also loaded with toppings too.

      I'd recommend this place! This place sells huge burritos, nacho plates, tacos, quesadillas, and dinner plates with your choice of meat!

      I really like this place, but I'm here to point out some problems on the TryCaviar menu. Please fix these issues:

      1. All of the Dinner Plates have bean options that say "Whole Bean" or "Black Bean". What about "Refried bean?". And why is Pinto called Whole? Are the Black beans not whole? Just add the Refried and maybe rename Whole to Pinto?

      2. Every one of the dinner plates does not let you indicate the meat choice. What meat comes with a taco plate? What meat comes with an enchilada plate? Are do I have to pay extra to have a meat taco? Would the taco be cheese and no meat by default? Kind of weird.

      3. Side order of Beans. WHAT BEANS do we get bro? (added for humor). There is no indicator of what beans we can choose for a side of beans. What is your default bean?

      4. Enchilada side. What is the meat option? The only options you allow are ordering alcohol. You won't even let us comment on the meat or cheese choice for the enchilada side.

      I'll stop here. Basically what I'm hoping is that you can get whoever is in charge of your TryCaviar site to go back and really take the time to make sure it is all filled out properly. Heck I'll even volunteer to help you if you want me to do it.

      Anyway, I love your food, but this ordering thing needs to be fixed.

      We ordered the beef tongue super burrito and a dinner plate with tacos, quesadillas, and flautas--everything was delicious! What I loved most was feeling satisfied without the heavy aftertaste. That's a big plus for me.

      I stopped by for a quick work lunch after searching on Yelp. Plenty of street parking. Short line inside, looked like a blue collar kinda place. Walk up to the counter and there's a steam table full of meat and beans. I ordered the Carne Asada Special burrito. It was full of meat, beans, rice, and guac. Very friendly counter service. Prices are decent and your order is made quickly. They dumped a scoop of chips in my bag... a little grease on the paper bag never hurt anyone! Salsa is nice and spicy. Went back to work and ate it up. Good flavor but coulda used some pico inside to round it out. I'll be back to try something else next time.

      When in the Mission District, it's imperative to have a Mission burrito. Taqueria El Buen Sabor was absolutely packed when we went for lunch, but the line moved fast, and we ordered our burrito and sat at the counter to eat. Total cost under $10.00, which was really affordable with generous portions. The flour tortilla was soft and warmed, and the cheese, rice, and everything inside were creamy and savory-- the green salsa on the side was solid, too. Overall, no-frills solid establishment at a good price.

      Delicious food, lots of options, and fast service. My partner and I ordered two super burritos - one carnitas and one asada, chips and salsa, a churro, and Jarritos. I was a little shocked at the nearly $50 price tag after tip, but it ended up being a TON of food. The burritos are a giant! It was enough for lunch and then a snack later on. A great option if you're in the area!

      I came here after hearing all of the hype around their mission-style burritos. Had a carne asada super burrito and it was pretty good. The flavors were all there--overall, a solid burrito that I would get again. Extra points because I was attended to quickly and was in and out in less than 10 mins! The staff were really patient and helpful :)

      This is a solid place - not my favorite taqueria in the Mission but definitely above average! I usually get the carne asada super burrito but most recently tried the shrimp quesadilla, which was tasty as well.

      I usually get my order to-go, but there are plenty of seats inside if you prefer to dine in instead.

      First off, they accept card/debit with a minimum purchase of $10. Now that we've gotten that out of the way...upon stepping in, we liked how cozy and homey the place was (nothing fancy). Their menu consists of your tacos, burritos, tostadas, nachos, and sides. We opted for the Super Burrito, which comes with your choice of meat, beans, rice, tomatoes, guacamole, etc). At around $13, it is not a bad deal cause they are pretty fair with how much protein they give you and give a pretty proportional amount of every other ingredient listed. Plus, all the ingredient were fresh, and the meat was tender. Only downside? The burrito itself wasn't that flavorful. What saved the day was the green sauce on the table. Omg, we wanted to take that green sauce home.
