      Do any of the dishes contain MSG?

      A:

      i don't think so. I am sensitive and have quick reactions reactions if I eat food containing msg. Although I didn't eat whole menu. I had rice, potatoes, tostada salad and sampled about half of the salsa bar.

      My go to spot for a casual takeout pr eat in dinner! Hardly ever a line and always seating available. Food in hand in 10 min.

      My classic is usually the carne asada bowl or burrito, but recently got into their carne asada quesadilla. It is SO good if you love cheese.

      Also you must try their churro waffle. So perfectly crispy on the outside with soft fluffy batter inside. Served warm and delicious and artery clogging.

      Five stars for the tasty, cheap for sf, and fast vibes

      Decent food, lacking with service. On two different occasions served food with allergens when specifically ordered without. When taken back both times was told I was incorrect when the person I was with had an allergic reaction each time.

      No apology, just an explanation that we were wrong. Not coming back anymore

      After attempting to finish the fishiest, most overpriced burrito in San Francisco ,I told myself that I should leave a 2 or 3 star review and not a 1 star- it's not like the food gave me food poisoning and I shit my pants or something.

      Please look at the star rating in this review.

      The salmon burrito was not my friend.

      The burrito is too thin/small to justify in an era of soaring burrito prices. The food was decent and I enjoyed some of the salsas, but I can't recommend this spot due to this mid burrito. Anytime I get a steak and shrimp burrito I am almost always stuffed, or can't finish, but I left here still hungry and broke. Just walk closer to the mission.

      As a gluten free girly this is my go-to. It's really hard to find a gluten free burrito that doesn't dissolve into powder or mush when I take it out of the wrap... but their GF tortilla is PERFECT. I can't even tell the difference I always make my BF take a bite to ease my mind. The shrimp burrito is one of my favorites but you can't go wrong with the basics...everything is great. Although I've never sat down to eat the vibe inside is always busy but still clean. Service is quick!

      Food here was ok. I've been here 2 times - one many years ago and again more recently to catch up with a friend.

      I think the inside of the restaurant has been renovated since the last time I came in here many years ago. It looks a little different and things look a bit newer.

      There's tons of seating even though the restaurant is quite small.

      There's a small salsa bar near the ordering counter.

      Service was decent. The food came quick.

      I wasn't too hungry this time around so I got the chicken tortilla soup. It was ok. Nothing to write home about. It was a little spicy and it did taste fresh but it just wasn't anything I'd be come back for. I know burritos are more of the hype here but I don't really think I'd be back unless someone wants to explicitly try it or go there.

      All I have to say is to get the black bean plantain burrito. It is uniquely made and creatively delicious, and my go-to whenever I get takeout from The Little Chihuahua. With their fast service, it's always an easy decision to pop by for one.

      I usually will grab an avocado from my fridge and spoon it onto each bite, as an extra little touch. Their chips and salsa (from a self-serve little salsa bar) are also top notch, don't forget them with your meal!

      I am vegetarian and i love a good burrito bowl. I looooove this spot for a solid bowl with plenty of options for me!

      I also love that they have 5 different salsas that you can take yourself, so they are not stingy with the salsas: they are all delicious, especially the chipotle!

      Really mixed feelings. I've been here 3 times and have tried something different every time (and had a few bites of my boyfriend's food). I loved the salmon burrito and was sooo stuffed! I felt like it was reasonably priced for a salmon burrito.

      The second time, I got the garlic shrimp burrito to go and I was so underwhelmed. The shrimp was overcooked and it just didn't taste great! I was really sad because I had expected it to be as good as the first time I went.

      I decided to give it another shot and went again in person and ordered the al pastor burrito. All the flavors pretty much jumbled together. The meat was tender, but I felt like it needed some more fresh flavors in it. I didn't get much cheese or pineapple salsa and I felt like that would've made it a lot nicer.

      The staff are friendly, but a lot of the water cups were super dirty (i.e. had lipstick stains all over them). I won't be coming back unfortunately but if you decide to go, definitely give the salmon a chance!
