Underdogs Tres

One of the best burritos I've ever had in my life.

I don't know if I was just super hungry or if this burrito was actually that good, but the line of people standing outside this spot on a Sunday afternoon suggests the latter.

While visiting San Fran and walking through the park, I decided to give Underdogs Tres a try. Like I said, the line already suggested that this place was going to be good - but I didn't know how good until I tried it.

I ordered the Baja Style Burrito, and with the line of people that were waiting, it took about 20 minutes for my burrito to come out. Along with my burrito, they gave me chips and sals, which I was stoked about. I brought it to the park to enjoy - and enjoy I truly did.

The sauce in the burrito was so good, the mahi was perfectly fried, and I had added guac which made it even creamier and delicious. 10 / 10 omg seriously amazing. Just wish I lived in San Fran so I could eat this every day!

I've eaten at every location other than their original on Irving & 19th Av.  This footprint is located at the former Nopalito.  

We were here today on Mother's Day.  We had a choice of seating - indoors, outdoors, or patio.  We sat inside as it was very gusty today.  

The food is very consistent across all their locations.  Most times than not I order a taco Nick's way.  I used to order two but one is very satisfying for me.  I got an al pastor.  Very tasty.  

We always order the chips & guacamole. Fresh chips with a nice serving of guacamole and salsa.

Hubby got the breakfast burrito.  Offered as part of the breakfast menu served Saturday Sunday only.  

We skipped drinks as it was too cold.  We were trying to stay warm.  Next time.

Parking can be challenging but we got lucky with a space inside Golden Gate Park.

Food was quick.  Service attentive.

Great spot to watch the playoffs

Chilaquiles here are great

Easy to find a spot at the bar

Awesome find

Love their outdoor seating, intimate wooden booths that are kid and dog-friendly! WITH some heaters too.

I gotta say that the nachos are TO DIE FOR. Get them. We shared nachos between two, and loved the pulled chicken as the protein option. GET IT. You know why? Because it comes out with this gorgeous melted cheese and delicious toppings, it really is probably one of the best nachos I've had in a long time. I also enjoyed my grilled chicken burrito, and we agreed that burritos were the right choice. Portions are sized grandly, definitely room for secondary meals the next day. Also, the flavor of the foods were tasty, and definitely ask for their homemade salsas if you don't have any on your table. It doesn't have a bar food vibe, which I was expecting...but maybe that's because we were sitting outside.

The restrooms are clean, and a one-room setup. There are TV's indoors, and a huge bar as well. It looks like a fun place to grab drinks and food with large groups like after work or with your family. Service is quick and friendly! Shoutout to the guy working all of the outdoor tables in the cold SF evening with a smile.

My first time at Underdogs Tres was overall a positive experience for the great customer service and relatively good Mexican food!

I have high expectations for burritos after spending my college time in SoCal/San Diego. I got the Gulf (grilled) shrimp burrito which was overall a 3.5/5 for me! It's definitely a healthier option for a burrito given the filling is mostly veggies and the meat is grilled. The flavor was subtle, but their sauces (add on in bottles) help pack more flavor.

Our hostess was amazing! We got seated in outdoors in the back of the restaurant which seemed to be her area. She was friendly, considerate, and overall has great customer service skills!

Overall, this is a good place for food, drinks, and a casual ambience.

The elote here is good but I took it to go and all the seasoning got stuck on the wrap so that was a con. The burrito itself is meh nothing special. The quesadilla however is very delicious (not pictured). The aqua fresca was so so too.

Great place for yummy tacos and margaritas in the old Nopalito space.

Went with a group of 7 on a Friday night and sat in the back heated patio, after a 10 minute wait (they don't take reservations).

They are family friendly and several picnic tables had children. TV's dotted the patio as they are also a sports bar. Good atmosphere with music and cute decor.

Their margaritas are house made - limey but potent. Ordered a shrimp and a carnitas taco "Nick's Way" (crispy) which were huge and delicious. Should have ordered just one. The nacho starter was enough for 7 of us and loaded with guacamole, salsa, chips, sour cream, jalapeños.

The servers were friendly and fairly fast. One star off as my son's quesadilla had to be redone as a bit burned; the second one was done without oil and not as black.

"Omg this is SO good!!!!"

"You know...this is just bar food..."

"YES I know, but it is SO good."

What is so good? The freakin carne asada quesadilla. You have to have it fresh while it's hot, crispy, and just filled with juicy tender well-seasoned, carne asada.

And maybe a michelada with it (or whatever you're thinking).

So next time, after a trip to the De Young (which is what my friend and I did), stroll over and get some delicious california mexican bar food. You won't regret it. Plus, if there is a game you want to catch...this is a sports bar after all.

**Vegetarian Friendly**

Great place to come and watch a sports game...or a big old plate of nachos!

I was pleasantly surprised with the number of vegetarian options they had.

We had the Nachos son muy Grande and Flatuas Zanahoria (carrots). The flautas were far too oily...you could see it on the plate! Aside from the oil, they were tasty.

Would definitely be back, especially if I'm coming to watch a game.

Underdogs Tres Ratings: 4.4/5

Food: 4.75/5 - Came here with my boyfriend and his friends. I was told that this place had the best quesadillas in the area, and it was definitely true. My first time trying a quesadilla, and I can say I had a great experience. I got a Carne Asada Quesadilla, it was loaded meat, cheese, pico de gallo,  guacamole, and packed with tasty spices. The quesadilla was wonderful and huge. My favorite was the tortilla wrap, it's crunchy and al dente... so perfect. The texture is like the Asian scallion pancake, super doughy and crispy on the outer layer. I just love the texture. They are super flavorful and filling, full of great savory flavors, and make sure to ask for their housemade salsa. It's life changing with your quesadillas.

Ambiance: 4.25/5 - Located in the Sunset, right next to the Golden Gate Park. Interior is super casual with tvs and a cozy back patio with heaters. It is nice, clean, with a sports bar vibe. It is a perfect place to watch a sports game and a late night dinner or snacks with friends. There's a lot of options on their menu too at a pretty reasonable prices.

Price: 4.75/5 - The Carne Asada Quesadillas is $10.50, and I added guacamole in it for additional of $2.75. The total came up to be around $18 after taxes and tips. The quesadilla was huge, definitely bigger than normal quesadillas out there, and I was really full afterwards. Good value.

Service: 4/5 - Staffs here are pretty good, extremely knowledgeable with the menu and efficient. They were also helpful with providing food recommendations and accommodate with substitutes. Decent service, and had a good experience, but nothing too crazy though.

BLUF: I would say I love the quesadillas here. Fresh ingredients, crunchy and crispy tortilla wrap, fire salsas, all at a cheap and reasonable price. If you're a fan of quesadillas, burritos, and nachos, definitely give this place a try.
