Taqueria Guadalajara

I returned tonight to check out the late meal vibe – which is totally chill, albeit with more customers talking loudly and eyes glazed from intoxication.
I ordered a Super Burrito with Chorizo. Again, the nice lady offered me a basket of chips which I devoured with pico de gallo and the creamy avocado enriched salsa verde spiked with the orange salsa which I have coined «salsa muerte» (it wasn’t as deadly tonight).
The first thing I liked about the super burrito is that it is rightly superlatively large. Next, the deeply toasted burrito shell smelled like buttered toast! On my second bite, the sour cream, avocado, salsa, beans and rice mash-​up got lobbed high into the yummy stratosphere when the chorizo notes kicked on.
This is not the cheap low-​grade grease flavored rice chorizo… this is much more of the deeply flavored, course ground pork – I almost took it back because I thought it was lean ground beef – kind of chorizo! The tangy hit of lime, paprika, oregano and who knows what else propelled me into a frenzy where I could not stop attacking this cylinder of joy until it was gone… :{.
Bookmark this place for a late night meal, especially after you are done bar hopping!

I’ve honestly lost count of how many times I’ve been hungry during late nights, and how many times i’ve gone here during those late nights. This is honestly a great place, mostly during late nights for me to grab a late night bite. One of my favorite meats here is their carne asada. I’d usually get carne asada with whatever I am ordering whether it’s tacos, a burrito, or super nachos. Oh and one of my favorite thing here is their salsa bar! You can help youself to whatever you want, and how ever many you want! And of course, they give free chips for every order. See ya again. past 11pm.

Pretty good. We ordered a dozen carne asada tacos and grabbed loads of salsa (for four people): we didn’t end up finishing. We were just craving tacos after having drinks at the bar (after dinner).
The only thing was they put more than a huge dallop of sour cream, it was the most we’d ever seen. If you love sour cream: this is the place for you. If not: just scoop it off like I did or ask for less, none, or some on the side or in a to-​go container so you can customize it yourself.
Great for late night snack runs.

food is BOMB, open till late
salsa bar on point, has mild pico de gallo, spicy red salsa, and my favorite guacamole.
I come here all the time when I wanna get my tostadas, tacos, and quesadillas!

I’m very impressed! I usually head over to the famous place next door but I wanted to try something new before I move out of the city, and let me tell you I have absolutely no regret about my choice!
I ordered (1) carne asada regular taco and (1) shrimp taco. They give you tortilla chips as well.
Why did I like it?
–it was a hearty size
–there was a lot of meat
–condiments up the hoo haa. PLEASE DO YOURSELF A FAVOR, green sauce. Eat it, drink it, devour it.
–there were medium sized shrimp and it wasn’t just 2 or 3 pieces
–plenty of seats & nice décor
Bad?
–I can see why it’s not necessarily the cleanest restaurant but it’s clean enough
–shrimp was ok not WOW
I’d come back a million times over.

Way better than the Excelsior El Faro Lito! Decent prices. Best to pay in cash though; shortly after paying with my credit card my bank sent an email saying my card was compromised. I hadn’t used it in two week, so I’m quite sure there was something fishy up with their machine.
Aside from the CC issue, the food is good and the salsa bar is legit.

This my friend’s go-​to burrito place in the neighborhood. The food here is just as a good as El Farolito. And if you ever get tired of Taqueria Guadalajara, El Farolito is directly across the street!
For me, the green salsa at Taqueria Guadalajara is the zestiest item at this establishment. This salsa has a slurpy viscosity, neither too diluted with onion/​vegetable juices nor too chunked with avocado bits. The salsa harmonizes the wonderful taste of tangy lime with undertones of spice.
TIP: One thing to note is that shrimp is priced higher than other meats. The description for a burrito/​quesadilla reads «choice meat» or «choice of meat», and since shrimp falls underneath the choice of meats, by the substitution principle, shrimp items should cost the same as their meaty cousins. However this is later trumped by separate shrimp line items listed on the menu. Not a big deal, but hilarious to think that you can arrive at two different prices for the same item if you only read certain parts of the menu.

Came here on a thursday night around 6:30 pm for takeout.
ORDERED:
–Super carne asada burrito with no beans.
PROS:
1. They give a small bag of chips with the order.
2. Their sauces are great: the bright green one and the pico are life.
3. Bomb ass food. They know what they are doing.
How much it set me back? $ 9.03 as of ⁰³⁄₂₀₁₆.
Would I come back? Is this even a question?

GUADALAWHAT?! Just as good as El Farolito, especially their El Pastor!
Get everything El Pastor here … burrito, tacos, quesadilla, nachos, just get it here. It will make everything better.
Their restaurant is pretty small and it gets busy but I would come here instead of El Farolito for late night since the line is usually shorter.
You wont regret it.

Drunchies? Munchies? Or just plain in the mood to stuff your face with a giant roll of Mexico? You’ve found the right place!
(I don’t understand how people can eat burritos without the super) Get the super burrito with LENGUA! (Very underrated meat) Spinach/​sun dried tomato wraps also available.
Do you see that tub of orange sauce to the side away from all the other sauces like he was the kid that didn’t get picked to play kickball because there is an odd number of people so now he has to sit on the side and watch? Well spoiler alert: he’s the secret weapon and all you people don’t know what you’re missing out on. Grab a cup of that and drizzle it all over your that fat burrito you call nutrition. Enjoy. You’re welcome

Strolling into Guads after a night out at the Warfield, from what I can remember, the carne asada burrito was fuckin huge, perfect, and delicious af. Oh my God I still remember the avocado falling out and that is not even a messy problem to complain about. Honestly it was the best thing to have in both hands at the end of the night. I devoured that shit like there was no tomorrow, that’s for sure. My friends were actually really impressed by me finishing the whole thing by myself, but I wasn’t. They have a variety of salsa at their salsa bar and from what I can remember, I got all of them… and used all of them. Would def be back, sober or not.

My wife and I took my nephew to the Cow Palace dog show a week or two ago, and were quickly approaching his lunch time eating window prior to his afternoon nap. As usual, Mexican food was the first thing that popped into my head, as we were so close to the Mission. We hopped on Unilocal,and zeroed in on Taqueria Guadalajara.
It is your typical south Mission taqueria, with a nice long line, plenty of amazing food options, and very friendly staff. My wife ordered a couple different tacos, I got my usual beef tongue burrito, and our nephew got a chicken quesadilla.
The whole experience is there. They have really good chips and salsa to start out, and the restaurant is pretty clean and well kept up. The tacos were all pretty good, and were complimented nicely by the addition of some of the sauces that were available. The beef tongue burrito came with your run of the mill extras, and was a good sized portion. The little guy ended up eating about ²⁄₃ of his quesadilla, which is sort of impressive considering it was quite big.
If you like Mexican food, you should probably give this place a shot. It does live up to the hype.

This is usually the spot to go after you had some drinks and need to soak up the alcohol, however this place is just as good when you are sober!
I come here for the tacos, my personal favorites are the carne asada and al pastor, simple and delicious. Their shrimp and carne asada burrito is also
, **I almost forgot to brag about the chips and their variety of delicious sauces! **
I definitely rate this a 5 star, the late night weekend crew are the nicest people!
Cinco Estrellas de mi parte

Love that this place is open until 3 am on the weekends! There is constantly people in line even at 2 am. Their tacos are amazing and topped with so much meat, avocado, cheese that I can barely eat it in one bite.
Will come back for sure!

My roommate, a local, raves about this place and had gotten it the night before. He proclaimed it was the only burrito in the city he couldn’t finish in one sitting and to get the verde.
Now I was aware of the place as I have to go to the Post Office on Onondaga twice a month. Wait… *runs down to get the mail and sees another missed you slip* Make that three times a month! The place is at the corner of one of the most delicious intersections on Mission, across the street an El Farrolito, a Hawaiian Drive Inn, and TY Sandwiches. Easily one of the hardest decisions to make. But my roommate got me hyped.
You walk into a place that looks like it could be at a Disney knockoff, with an interior that makes it look like you are actually in an exterior Mexican neighborhood with windows, lights, and paintings. I LOVE restaurants like this, or bars like Smuggler’s Cove. That alone gives this place 3 stars.
Now if picking this place out of the corner wasn’t difficult, now comes the next hard part — figuring what to eat. Between giant burritos, quesadillas, tacos, and nachos, it’s a difficult decision. This was my first time, and while a complete sucker for a super shrimp quesadilla, and my roommate raving about the burrito, I didn’t know how their meat was. So I went for the easier option of 3 tacos — one cabeza, one carnitas, and one pastor.
I got a basket of chips while I waited, and as others have mentioned these chips alone are some of the best. Thick and crispy, these aren’t the thin greasy things you get at other taquerias. I should have gotten more. They also have a sauce and salsa bar. The verde is solid, the orange will kick your ass, and I think there was a red.
Of the meats, the cabeza was the weakest. And I love cabeza. The carnitas was excellent, perfectly fried and tasty. But the pastor stole the show. Full of flavor, made with bits of pineapple, I have no problem knowing I’m getting a pastor burrito next time I come. I even tried to scoop as much sauce with my chips as possible. I am glad I saved this taco for last. I also had a tamarind jarritos to wash it all down. Que Delicioso!
Affordable, quick, great interior, nice staff, and delicious food. I know I’m walking to the post office tomorrow, but I have no idea what to eat.

Super suiza with pastor please!!! Dear god that super suiza is amazing. A flour tortilla stuffed with your choice of meat, cheese, cream, salsa, avocado. It’s basically a super burrito without the rice or beans (who needs em anyway?!), and folded quesadilla style. Honestly I think it’s a bit bigger than the super burrito!
Guads is a great place for late night eats or even a post-​workout meal… So says my bf, hahaha. Every item on the menu from the tacos and burritos to the quesadillas, has all the elements of a nicely balanced meal! Your order also comes with a small bag of chips which is another plus.
They also have a great salsa bar where you can pick up and pack your own condiments: salsas, pico de gallo, limes, etc… Ahhhh!
Definitely a good spot when you’re feeling extra gluttonous or craving Mexican food. And if there’s a line, there’s always El Farolito across the street (although that line may be longer. haha)!

Man, I hate hate hate writing bad reviews because I’m generally a pretty forgiving person and I believe in 2^nd chances. Like a stupid girl who goes back to her ex, lol— ignore that.
Anyways it was a busy Saturday usual drunchies hour, and my friends and I usually go to El Farolito across the street but my friend Aj insisted we go to «Guad» since its «better tacos»
I should have denied. First off I don’t like the price of their tacos, expensive for what it is… Then I tried to pay with my card and then the rude lady said «10 $ minimum, do you hear me???» I was like «what?» And I wasn’t even drunk. I work in customer service and I definitely would never talk to anyone with such disrespect. Even on my bad days… So in shock that even happened because there was no signs anywhere that indicated cards were over $ 10 minimum, and also how she spoke to me made me wanna leave. But I didn’t wait in line for nothing, I’m a trooper and I don’t give up after once.
I ordered their tostada with carnitas. (My cousin Joey paid it for me, thx you, best cousin ever) and their tostada was delicious and full of flavor and packed perfectly to where I didn’t even know where to start. The carnitas could use a little work, need to be more juicy and chopped thinly before just piling «thick chunks» of carnitas.
I will not be back. «If you can’t treat me right, some other place will» –Quote by Crystal Chai about restaurants. Lol.

Not a fan.
My super grilled chicken burrito was meh. There was an overwhelming amount of sour cream on one end while the middle and opposite end were dry. Imperceptible amount of salsa haphazardly tossed in and finished off w/​avocado located, you guessed it, only on one end of the burrito. Meat itself wasn’t too bad but nothing that excited my tastebuds. Chips are on the thicker side. The pickled jalapeños were ok. Their salsa was bland.
Hubs ordered the beef and shrimp super burrito. Same assemblage as mine. The beef had burnt pieces stuck to it. His order was $ 12.
They need to clean their grill. So many burnt pieces from previous grillings stuck to our chicken and beef.

No doubt about it, this place has got something good. I have always thought that all taqueria’s were pretty much the same and only varied slightly, but this place is a step up. Only downside is that the parking is horrible sf street parking thats super difficult and inconvenient. We ordered the super burrito with chicken and super quesadilla with steak. The meats were tender and had a smokey taste to it which made the difference in the food from being mediocre and average to something better. The real gem here was the juice. Weird to say, but really though. They have a melon juice thats fresh squeezed and amazingggg. Its an orange colored cantaloupe drink with pulp thats unique, refreshing, and delicious. A must get when here because I mean, where else are you going to get cantaloupe juice?

AWESOMEEE SALSA BAR !!
Most people in SF seem to think that El Farolito is the best place to get burritos. Not me. La Guadalajara is just right across from El Farolito.
Guadalajara is the same price if not cheaper. I also love their rice, cheese and especially how generous they are with avocados! And every meal comes with chips and a free salsa bar.
I usually come here for their burritos or quesadilla. I cant speak too much about how good their meats are but I know vegetarian options are definitely available here.
Street parking on a busy street, but if you go down a few blocks, it is residential so parking wont be too bad!
Cheers!

Me gusta mucho comer allí todo esta muy rico me los burritos y también atienden muy bien siempre con una sonrisa.
Tengo muchos años de comer allí.

Comida vien servicio vien pero el humo que hay no te deja comer parece que estas comiendo en una chimenea. everything was fine but the fumes inside dirent letme eat.
