    Yum! Love Asian/Mexican fusion. The kimchi burrito was excellent, especially because of the soft flavorful meat. It honestly was one of my favorite burrito experiences ✨ Staff was so kind too.

    Hidden gem alert. Delicious, cozy and the staff was really good. We had a vegetarian dinner and substituted grilled veggies for meat. It was YUMMY!

    Great little hole in the wall. Super casual spot to grab a bit on date night or with friends. The vine was relaxed with pop music playing. The cooks are right there in the front making the food fresh. The food's freshness and flavor profile was unbelievable! Definitely stop by here if you're in the area.

    Banging fast casual Korean Mexican fusion spot in nob hill. Burritos/Quesadilla with a Korean twist. The California Burrito was massive and can easily be split in half for an afternoon snack. I was able to sub the chips for extra tater tots and add extra veggies. The employee was also super sweet and brought out a plate when they saw I was eating it at a table outside instead of to-go. Highly recommend for a quick bite.

    Just commit to either getting Korean food or Mexican food. Pretty average. Wouldn’t come again. It doesn’t taste Korean at all, nor does it taste like an actual burrito. The beef Bulgogi is too sweet and overpowers everything in the burrito. Also, wish they used more Korean ingredients, it just tastes like a below average burrito that someone put Bulgogi in. As for the kimchi burrito, it was a little better, but still leaves me wanting stronger flavors that aren’t overpowered by the rice. Also don’t think black beans are the best choice of beans in the burrito. Also quality is not that good, I found a bay leaf in my burrito.

    What the hell did we stumble upon? This place is delicious. 15$ each thing on the menu, and they're all amazing looking. I had the California Wet bulgogi burrito. Fu** yes. How have I never thought to combine the two when cooking at home? It's amazing. And my beautiful partner had the spicy TaterTotchos (tater tot nachos) and they were full, fantastic and delicious. There's a sign outside that reads "If you're in a hurry and expect it fast, you're at the wrong place" fully support this sign. Let's eat.

    I got the pork rice bowl. The texture of the pork tasted a bit off (almost like it has been frozen before) but other wise it was tasty. Portion size was good as well. My friends got the burrito which honestly looks tastier. Would try that next time.

    I don’t go out of my way to review places much anymore, but this breakfast burrito was bitchin’. Chorizo is a little salty, but what’s to expect with chorizo. Great ratio of ingredients on the inside and perfect spice level. Will definitely be back for the kimchi burrito.

    Really cool fusion between Korean and Mexican food. I had the bulgogi beef, which was seasoned well and taste delicious. I thought they skimped out on the meat a little but I’ll definitely go back to try other flavors!

    Tacorea is a very unique spot for some delicious fusion cuisine. The spicy pork was delicious and it worked well in a taco. The burrito was large and the spicy pork rice bowl had really good portions. Also, tater tots with salsa kinda slaps, didn’t expect that combo to be so good. I like the easy going vibe of the restaurant with a mix of indoor and outdoor seating. Definitely recommend making a pit stop here for a quick bite. The staff was very friendly as well, kudos to their creativity.

    Super fun menu with Korean ingredients. Lots of flavour and very indulgent. Massive portions! The wet burrito is an interesting alternative to all the other burritos in SF. Much easier to eat with a fork and knife. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Big smiles all around ☺️

  • 5/5 Sunstruck T. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely delicious, mouthwatering burritos. One of the few Mexican fusion restaurants I've been to in San Francisco that actually seems to complement Mexican spices with additional, atypical flavors. The kimchi burrito was simply divine and as a Mexican who avidly loves kimchi, they couldn't have done it any better. My friend got the quesadilla which featured tater tots, which personally I wouldn't have eaten but they seemed to enjoy it. If you're looking for a low-key spot in the Tenderloin, definitely recommend this place. It is just a tad pricey (burritos are currently 14 dollars, with some chips and salsa on the side) but eons better than any fusion burrito I've had in the city thus far.

    Ordered the El Super Burrito with bulgogi and it was delicious but it could use a bit more seasoning. Portions were huge - I would suggest sharing with a friend. The nachos and salsa were also delicious. My friend also ordered the Super Tater Tot Nachos with carnitas and the tater tots were incredible - so crunchy and delicious.

    Best burrito in SF. The carnitas on the Tachos were fantastic.

    We stopped by here for lunch during our trip to San Francisco and loved it! The burritos are huge - definitely enough to share one between two people if you don't want to be too full. We got the California Burrito and it was delicious. Would definitely come back here next time! FYI - it is a bit small inside, but they do have outdoor seating as well, which is what we decided to do since it was crowded inside. If you want to sit inside, you'll also have to be surrounded by the line that stretches past the door (this place is popular haha).

    Impressed with the spicy pork bowl with fried egg. Helpful and smiling(through a mask) counter service. Good value . I got a beer and sat on the street patio. I am very happy with my choice of restaurant/dish for dinner.

  • 3/5 Wilson T. 1 year ago on Google
    The service was quick and efficient with a very nice gentleman. Food prices came out to even numbers after tax which I low key love. There is an outdoor and indoor seating area. As for the food, the burrito is average sized, not too big nor small. I had the bulgogi and it was way too sweet, it overwhelmed all the other ingredients. I had to eat dry salty tortilla chips to help balance out the flavor. Couldn’t finish the burrito, had to dump out the toppings, get rid of a little bulgogi and use the chips as the balance instead

  • 5/5 Yuval Z. 10 months ago on Google
    Delicious combination of Mexican and Korean food. Rather noisy, encouraging you to eat and leave. Very friendly service.

  • 3/5 K O. 1 year ago on Google
    Took a point off for being tricked into paying $6.50 for a small pile of chips. Another point off for how almost sickeningly sweet the wet burrito sauce was. Big Ricardo without egg pictured. Otherwise super friendly and speedy staff. Very clean inside and patio. Sustainable disposables

  • 5/5 Katie R. 10 months ago on Google
    A must stop if you’re in the area! Great food, service, and you get chips with every burrito. As people mentioned, seating area is VERY small. The menu was amazing, I tried El Super Burrito, never got a picture, it was that good!

  • 5/5 Fahad I. 2 years ago on Google
    The amazingly genius fusion of Mexi-Korean is just the best fit and the location to match. I got the Cali Burrito and they are not stingy with meat!

  • 5/5 American A. 10 months ago on Google
    I made a wrong turn on Bush Street and found myself right in front of the Tacorea Restaurant, wow. I had my pal'et Rosita Caliente with me and she wanted to stop for tacos, so I whipped into the first parking spot I saw and we walked a half block to Tacos de Cerdo heaven. ☆☆☆☆☆

  • 5/5 Alin S. 2 years ago on Google
    Great food! Happy overall. The quesadilla and all sides were delicious. As a constructive feedback, the pork tacos could use a bit more flavour, and I would get rid of or rethink the homemade red salsa that comes with all dishes, as it was not balanced at all and didn't worked well with the food, at least for my taste.

    Probably the biggest burrito I’ve ever received. Jam packed too, great spot to visit in tenderloin
