The festive and colorful flags hanging from the ceiling were the first things I noticed about the place. Next, my eyes wandered to the wall where there must have been over a dozen awards for best burrito in the SF bay area. I was duly impressed, and proceeded to order my favorite burrito: the al pastor.
Service is fast and friendly, and the prices are cheap–much cheaper than taquerias in the south bay. The quantities are also huge. I ended up ordering a burrito mojado (wet burrito), which was simply succulent. They drown the thing with guacamole, cheese, and sour cream. The filling also contains a generous portion of the same thing, along with meat.
Another highlight was their guacamole/tomatillo sauce that is served with tortilla chips. I’m not sure exactly what’s in it, but it’s very spicy. Usually I crave for more spice in salsas, but this was just right.
