El Tesoro Taqueria & Grill: Reviews & Ratings
Delivery order(I ate a little of everything). This was a great quesadilla. A lot of restaurants do not respect the quesadilla. I get - it's simple. But for many even excellent Mexican restaurants, it is so neglected that it becomes bad. No nuance, greasy, low quality meat. That is not the case here. The beef is bright with just the right amount of pink(not the gritty failsteak of many a dilla) distributed pretty evenly through the tortilla instead of a mound of beef towards the middle with no hope of adhesion. When I sliced it up it just took a small press to re-secure all the ingredients to the tortilla(a sign of a thoughtfully produced dilla) They didn't even do the "sad pool of oil" at the bottom of the takeout container thing. This quesadilla was treated with respect. I really really appreciate that. The red salsa (I'm sadly not sure what it was called because I ordered multiple) is . Peak quesadilla dipping salsa, somewhere in my top 5 red salsas. Burrito is solid, as one would expect here. Definitely benefits from some salsa. Order hit the minimum for a free taco (I chose al pastor). It was good, but perhaps overshadowed by the glory of a quesadilla with proper bites of steak. Only thing I didn't especially like was the chips, but I didn't even order the chips, they were just added for free, so I ain't gonna seriously complain about that. These guys did good. It's surprisingly hard to find a place that gives any level of respect to the quesadilla in SF, and just for that, they have won my heart.
So fast go good so fast I love the way that they prepare the chicken highly arecommended
If in the Tenderloin this is the best Mexican spot. Warm & friendly but a wide variety of choices. Highly recommended
I ordered food twice in one day from here it was so good! Definitely will become a regular of mine
Food is very flavorful and portions are decent. I really enjoyed their asada fries and burritos! I would try it out again!
We order from this place often they are delicious and the portions are generous. We both like the Al Pastor super burritos and their tacos are all amazing. We alternate between Horchata and the Aquas they have Fresca and Jamica are my favorites.
Killer takeout pollo asado burrito. Tortilla was nice and buttered up and chicken was so juicy. Great bite and love that it includes chips and 2 containers of salsa of your choice.
