When I say these are the BEST birria tacos I have EVER had I am not exaggerating. The beef was cooked perfectly and was tender and juicy. Consomme had a lovely umami and rich flavor. The salsas were made in house, cold, and refreshing. My agua fresca was definitely a bit too sweet but that’s probably how it’s supposed to be. Will absolutely be back next time I’m in the Mission district.

I’m born and raised in Boston, and I thought we had some pretty decent Mexican food here, but boy was I wrong. I was visiting SF and a coworker recommended Tacos El Patron to me. I’m glad I made the journey here because I think it’s the best Mexican food I’ve ever had. I think it’s ruined my enjoyment of Mexican food at home, because now I know what I’m missing out on…I will forever compare everything I eat in MA, to this restaurant in SF.
Of course, in MA we don’t have the same choice and variety as you do in CA, but still! Everything was 10x more flavorful than what I’ve had at home in Massachusetts. The portion sizes are also great – usually I’m used to having to order 2 or 3 tacos or a couple tamales to be satisfied. But just one taco or tamale here is a pretty big portion (for me at least!). The horchata was also incredible! The birria tamale is so cool – it’s a must try for sure! I also had a birria taco and a taco al pastor with carne asada – also very good choices. The salsa that comes with the chips is also very flavorful, and actually a bit spicy. Nothing too hot for me, but I was surprised because in Massachusetts the free salsa is always zero spice hahaha. What a great place – I can’t wait to come back here again on my next trip to SF.

Came here for the birria tacos, consomé, and ceviche and WOW. We were not ready for the flavor, in the best way possible. In a big city where spice and seasoning often get watered down to “appeal to everyone,” this place said nah .
This is authentically Mexican, full of bold flavor, rich broth, and that homemade touch you don’t find everywhere. The birria was juicy, the consomé hit the soul, and the ceviche was fresh and perfectly balanced.
If you like real flavor, real spice, and food that doesn’t apologize for being good, this is your spot.
Muy auténtico. Mucho sabor. 100% recomendado.
I’ll absolutely be back. 5/5 — vengan con hambre.

One of the best Al Pastor Tacos I’ve had in all of California! The meat quality and proportion of the tacos are and the free sides (grilled onions are our fav) are cherries top! Amazing local gem!

I never, ever, have ever said this but, I don’t think i paid enough… (never said this especially living in SF)
I had just a simple carne asada street taco and and al pastor street taco. Came with beans and chips. Perfect amount of food.
All the salsas were good.
Carne Asada taco was good.
Chips were good (nice and light, I hate the thick chips, or the ones not made in house)
Wasn’t a fan of the al pastor (the strong cumin for an al pastor taco was weird for me), but liked that they added pineapple (could of added more / bigger pieces :))
All in all it surprised me. Everything was good and it was a great deal.
Will recommend and will be back.

Loved the food and the vibe. They are generous with the amount of meat that goes onto the quesadilla birria tacos. Small location, but it held pur 15 people party and some. Definitely recommend stopping by.

Possibly the best tacos I’ve ever had, and I’ve visited Mexico twice! Had the birria, fish, and shrimp and all were 10/10. Great portions, super flavourful, and will def be back to try their tripa!

I ordered the nachos and they came with the orange nacho cheese you get at the theatre. All the ingredients otherwise are great just disappointing that they don’t use real cheese. If the menu said they use this type of cheese I definitely would not have ordered this.

It’s all about the food!!
Wide range of traditional Mexican food on the menu – one more delicious than the other
We did try only the Tacos, which were SUPER (I would suggest to take at least two – you also get a free side!) but also the burritos seemed quite tempting(and also were huuuuuge)
They bring you at the table a free side of Nachos with Salsa
100/10!! Definitely will be back
