What a delicious lunch we enjoyed here today. The manager, Tino, is so nice & made sure our meal was scrumptious.
Both the Baja Shrimp & Baja Cauliflower tacos were superb and my friend loved all the veggies in her veggie burrito. Hands down some of the best housemade chips & salsa- we went through two orders!
I loved how colorful the interior and exterior of the restaurant was. Will definitely return here.

Burritos of heaven!! Toasted outsides with every ingredient FRESH and full of many colors of flavors. Fresh, fresh, fresh! Green and red salsas and fresh chips so good. Horchata yum. New favorite burrito place in SF.

I have been here multiple times since I moved into the neighborhood a couple years ago, but unfortunately I can no longer recommend El Jacal.

Twice I have been charged more than the listed menu price. When it happened previously I thought perhaps I had misinterpreted something but today I called them on it and pointed out the very obvious discrepancy. The cashier went to talk with someone else and then refused to honor the menu price saying it included tax, which was completely wrong and very obvious. They just shrugged it off and we walked out as a result.

It’s too bad because the food is solid, although expensive relative to the local competition, however they didn’t seem to care about their price accuracy and making things right with us. Therefore we won’t be going back.

There are so many Taquerias in San Francisco, it’s rather difficult to try them all. So I stumbled upon El Jacal while strolling through the Bernal village. If I see lengua on the menu then I need to try it. To me lengua is some of the best tender meat (if done right) one can eat. Yes if done wrong you will get jaw muscle cramps before even swallowing one bite. Well El Jacal knows how to make their lengua and it melted on my tongue. Interesting thought that tongue could melt on your tongue…
We tried their tacos and quesadilla and there was plenty of food to share. Their quesadilla is rather huge yet super tasty. The tacos don’t lag behind, they reminded me of the quality I’d get in Mexico City. Thumbs up to this place I’d go back.

I ordered 20 minutes ahead on the phone. They said they would start making it. I got there and asked if it was ready before paying (was in a hurry) and they lied to me that it was ready. As soon as I paid is when they started making the burrito. Why lie? It makes no sense

Amazing food — some of the best burritos in SF (even better than the famous spots). But I’m sad that they recently decided to close at 8 PM. This was one of the very few places on Cortland that’s open past 8, but now I can’t eat here if I’m even slightly past the conventional dinner time. As much as I love this place, I won’t be coming as often since they close so early now 🙁

Really hope they reconsider staying open a bit later. Any restaurant that’s open past 9 in Cortland has my gratitude forever

Excellent fresh and flavorful Mexican food for a very affordable price and without a long wait. I am a return customer. Excellent chilaquiles and I’ve also had their tasty chicken enchiladas. They make their own tortilla chips and salsas. Everything tastes delicious and homemade. Looking forward to trying more dishes.

Warm service and the best chilaquiles in town. The salsa roja is addictive and the chips are still crispy- sometimes a difficult combination to achieve.

Service and food were great. The chips & salsa, burrito, and freshly squeeze orange juice were very good too. The restaurant was clean, well organized, and spacious. I recommend this place.
