San Buena Taco Truck

Not usually a fan of Mexican food but today I decided to get a burrito for lunch. My coworkers always come here and recommended that I should try it one of these days. Well, today i did!
Ordered a regular beef burrito which comes with beans, rice, onion, cilantro, and your choice of meet. Beef was cooked perfectly and it was the perfect combo of rice with the rest of the toppings. The burrito itself was HUGE for being a regular size. Pretty sure I don’t have to eat for the rest of the day lol. will definitely be back!

I usually get the super carne asada burrito with mild salsa. The chips for an additional $ 1 is a must! Very good especially for the price compared to other places in the area. Get there early to avoid long lines and before their chips sell out (total bummer when it does).

Not bad for quick on the go lunch the guy taking the order was a little rude, but the burrito was not bad this guy takes Crdit cards so that was a plus… However kinda pricey for a burrito and Coke which ran me 10 bucks… I ate at the little table provided and it was funny to over hear the white guys doing their best to speak Spanglish

$ 8 – 8.50 for a big delicious burrito in SF? Yeahhhhh I’m never going to chipotle again

Blah… torta was a BAD choice. The bread was soggy within a 2 minute walk back to the office and the chicken was fatty and weird, SO BUMMED OUT!!!

Yes, this truck is far better than Chipotle, but that’s a low bar. Yes, it’s better than those multi-​ethnic delis in the FiDi that happen to offer burritos as one of many food options, but also another low bar. No, it doesn’t even compare to a solid burrito at any reputable joint in the Mission. It’s just «OK», hence the 3-​star rating. Also, it’s annoying that they charge a credit card fee; it’s in fine print at the bottom of the menu so you may not even see it as you order your burrito from the top of the menu.
Al Pastor Super Burrito: Filling for sure. I ordered it spicy, but it still felt kinda mild. Nothing like «Desi Hot» at Curry Up Now. The al pastor was decently spiced, but it didn’t have the crispy cooked a lot texture (to mimic the more authentic spit cooking) you get at some places. The «super» upgrade felt a little skimpy as it still seemed like mostly rice, beans and meat.

I don’t know why this taco truck only has 3 stars I been eating at this taco truck for over 5 years and the food is Top Notch and everything is on point this taco truck deserve 5 stars, everyone else that left bad reviews are haters

Born in LA, raised in SF. This tastes not authentic at all. If you know burritos, this sucks. If you don’t, it’s ok.

The only reason I give it two stars because how fast the food came out. I WOULDN’T come back to this truck. Food wasn’t good at. I guess you get what you pay for.

OH MY GOODNESS. Can I just say that their tortas are SUPER BOMB. YUM!
Okay, so I always thought that I’ve never really liked Mexican food after having tried tacos and enchiladas multiple times, but I guess I just wasn’t eating the right things because I AM IN LOVE WITH THEIR TORTA. Given that I’ve never had a torta before, I can’t say that theirs are the best, but I will say they are DELICIOUS!
I can’t wait until I come back for another! YAY!

They double park all the time, making bicyclist swerve into oncoming traffic. When people try to explain the NO DOUBLE PARKING LAW they workers are rude and disrespectful. Please think about others and what could happen if a bicyclist was hit because they had to go around your food truck.

Perfect place to stop by for lunch. They’re pretty quick.
You know it’s legit when they have cabeza and lengua as an option of meat. I usually get the carnitas and asada and the flavors are definitely there for their tacos. Tacos come with cilantro and onion mix and a type of salsa ranging from mild to spicy. If you want guac or cheese or what not, it’s extra. So yummy! Whenever I have no clue what to eat, I come by here (which is right across the street from my office so why not?). Their burritos are huge and full of ingredients. Not skimpy at all. They have Mexican Coke and horchata. Yum! Although, the coke is pretty pricey but I got one anyways once because I felt like I deserved it due to the day I had at work! Hah. But it is a big bottle for 3 dollars.
**TIP** I love their fish tacos and if you want to try it, the owner told me they usually have em on Fridays. I always forget about it on Fridays and bring lunch. Maybe I should take my own advice! hah.

First time here. It’s about a block away from the office. It was a whim. I ordered the pork torta, SPICY, and I got a very bland disappointment. I ate it because hey, $ 7. I will give their fish tacos a try; they ran out while I was in line at 12:30. I may update this review if they impress me, but right now there are literally hundreds of places in SF that are better.

Ok i’ve eaten here twice. First time, chicken burrito. After about a half hour I felt a slow onset cramping in my stomach and was nauseated. I remember mentioning it to my friend; he didnt appear to have an issue and i believe he had pork.
Anyway, for whatever reason I was brave enough to try again today. 2 chicken tacos. Friendly service, tasted ok — but hold crap! Within 25 minutes I was in the batherroom and it was coming out of both ends. Im still at work as im too sick to get myself home on MUNI. I can at least sit up enough to write this.
I would seriously suggest a 2^nd thought on this truck.

The San Buena Truck is, LITERALLY, the closest source of food for me. They are a ‘stone’s throw away’; if you throw like a girl. Needing a quick bite before meetings, I ordered the Carnitas Super Burrito with no beans (no need for ‘interruptions’ during the meetings). I came at a good time because the line grew to 10 people within a minute. My order took a little longer than I expected and I went towards the window out of curiosity. The guy behind me in line ordered three burritos and his order was sitting ready to go out. Then I hear the cashier asking the cook about my carnitas super burrito, the cook said (in Spanish) that he messed up and added the ‘pinchy frijoles’. The cashier told the cook to hurry up cuz the orders were backing up. When my burrito was complete, the cashier yelled out ‘carnitas super burrito’, to which I replied ‘no pinchy frijoles?’ He chuckled and handed me my burrito.
The burrito was very good, nice portions for a super burrito (only $.50 for the upgrade). The carnitas was very tender and the burrito was smothered with guacamole =D. The amount of cheese and sour cream was pretty scarce, maybe a bite or two and one SINGLE bean in my burrito. I think the cook was trying to make a point.

I can’t believe how short of a line this truck always has downtown. Anything with their Al pastor is absolutely delicious. Pricing is normal and it’s by far the quickest burrito you can get around lunch time in the financial district.
Why wait 20 minutes in line for curry up or chipotle when you can have delicious al pastor in less than 5?

I probably wouldn’t have tried this place if I couldn’t see it from my desk at work. I had a carne asada taco, an al pastor taco and a pollo asado taco. All were decent — the al pastor was my favorite. All in all it was just OK; I’ve had better and I’ve certainly had worse. I would go back if I was strapped for time but I’ll keep looking for my «spot» in the Financial District.

Street tacos are pretty good — meat, cilantro, onions, and lime on two corn tortillas. Size is typical. You can ask for spicy, and it comes pretty damn hot.
Burritos are also good — rice, beans, meat, and the usual fixins’. They run out of things sometimes, so be ready to have a riceless burrito once in a while.
Not the best, but definitely a good choice for lunch if you are craving Mexican and want a quick bite.

This taco truck ain’t bad, and it does its job when you’re craving tacos or burritos at work. Rule #1: Don’t expect Mission-​quality burritos downtown.
The line can get long during peak hours, but the prices are okay. $ 2 per small taco (with a variety of meats to choose from), or $ 7 for a super burrito (only $.50 more than a regular burrito and includes guac/​cheese/​sour cream).
The guys who run the truck are really nice. Keep giving them business!

I love the tacos. They are cheap ($ 2), fast, and taste great day after day. The onions & green sauce go well with the meat. The taco skin is a good texture.
People keep telling me how unhealthy this is, but I don’t see what’s unhealthy about onions, meat, and tortilla.
I’ve eaten these tacos dozens of times without getting tired of them. They are a staple of my diet!
