• I have been going here for years. They are known for their crispy tacos with cheese, which are amazing! I would recommend the carnitas, and don't forgot to get the chips with fresh salsa and guacamole.

• Welcome to Mecca. Get the Super Burrito, your choice of meat (I recommend carne asada or carnitas), and get the burrito Dorado style — AKA thrown on the grill till the tortilla has a nice crisp to it)

  by Josh F.

  
  

• Mango aguas frescas + lengua super burrito 🌯 = $15.13. ✅

  by Jade J

  
  

• The carne asada is amazing: big, gristle free chunks. No rice in the burritos or anywhere on the premises makes burrito a fairly juicy affair.

  by Brian S.

  
  

• Super taco with lengua! So moist and tender. The burrito with carne asada were okay. Didn't like the toughness of the carne asada. Long wait and crowded.

  by Connie Chiu

  
  

• They don't add rice! They also don't use any extra fillers. You must experience their burritos to understand.

  by Jane K

  
  

• Los tacos de chorizo y de carne asada (bistec para los defeños) están buenísimos. Vienen con doble tortilla, 1 cucharada de frijoles y pico de gallo. Las tortillas están feas pero cumplen su función.

  by Tania M.

  
  

• Yes, that's correct, we're saying skip the burrito at La Taq and go for the tacos. We can't emphasize enough that you need the SUPER and DORADO style.

  by SFist

  
  

• La Taq's has a world-beating carnitas burrito, served with the perfect liquidy ratio of beans and salsa (but no rice) in a warm tortilla. There's a reason this won America's Best Burrito.

  by Issa A.

• Best taco in town!

  by Chris Ellen M.

  
  

• If you want to be the taco the town, ask for it "crispy cheesy" style. It's a taco with a normal soft shell wrapped around a slightly crispy shell with cheese sandwiched between the two.

  by Scott S.

  
  

• Even though the meat is salty and nothing to write home about, the whole combination is pretty addictive. And just what the doctor ordered after a half dozen beers at Clooney's.
