Jennifer Katsumi: Must order the gaucamole! Veggies: I more than enjoyed the chile relleno, stuffed w/ veggies on a pureed blk bean sauce! Outstanding meal and efficient staff! :)
The Corcoran Group: Unexpected, surprising and very popular Mexican bistro. Try the Macho Margarita, the table-service Guacamole, the Mole Poblano and Chile Relleno. Make reservations!
Pratik Rathod: Great food, made fresh. If you're adventurous, ask for the chef's special hot salsa. If you're vegetarian, try the chile relleno - I dare you not to be amazed.
Alex Pandel: Holy lord, buy whichever flour tortillas are still warm (the ones made with butter are my fave). Also the burritos are bomb here (you can get one stuffed with a chile relleno!)
Shagun Aulakh: More than a grocery store. This place has a great rotisserie chicken and platanos. But also good to cine to buy fresh tortillas and queso fresco
Michelle Wetzler: Amazing food. I love that you can buy containers of fresh guacamole, salsa, and ceviche to go. Great chips too!

Burrito Restaurant · Union Street · 20 tips and reviews
Crispin McCabe: Pretty much the only place to get a Burrito in the Marina. I like their Chili Relleno Burrito, their Guacamole is legit also. Use the Scoutmob deal and treat a friend.
Benjy Weinberger: Pretty good takeout-only burritos, perfectly reasonable for when you don't want to head down to the Mission.
Jenn K.: Don't come here if you're in a hurry. Or want to sit down. And DEFS do NOT order garden veg burrito. Frozen veggies, no taste.

Nick Holroyd: Killer chili rellenos, hiuse margaritas, and guacamole. Don't be dissuaded by the line, it moves fast.
Venugopal Venkatraman: The food was good. The chili relleno was good. Surprising variety of sauces and salsa makes this a really good place to try in the Financial District.
Ashok Lalwani: Very lively with really good Mexican food. Complimentary salsas are the best. Pazole Vegetariano was delicious and very much a comfort food. Also, less expensive than any other dinning rest. in FiDi.

Latin American Restaurant · Bernal Heights · 17 tips and reviews
Tobias Schmidt: The papusas at this Salvadorean joint are cheap, filling and simply wonderful, at once crispy and soft and filled with all kinds of tasty things. Get the queso con loroco and the revuelta con frijoles
Jeffrey Cannizzaro: Amazing papusas! Amazing staff. Jackie you're the best!
SF Weekly: SF Weekly's Best Of 2011 Winner - Reader's Poll - BEST CENTRAL AMERICAN RESTAURANT
Greg Price: Chipotle pupusas are the best. Also delicious: loroco, pork, beans. May be the best pupusas in the Mission.
Matthew Joseph: I highly recommend "pupusas con loroco y queso" (pupusas with loroco flower and cheese). Don't be afraid; loroco "flower" is just a kind of green veggie--they pick the blossoms before they bloom.
AskMen: The Salvadorean papusas at the bare bones 16th Street location are the best in the Mission. A papusa is a thick corn tortilla stuffed with pork, cheese or beans, sounds great to us.
