If you live in SOMA but haven't been to El Cachanilla entonces you haven't experienced Somerton fully. This is a must try. Ahora, having said that. Sí estás buscando the perfect taqueria that has everything you are looking for then no. This place ain't it. Hay cosas que si realmente les falta. Yeah their customer service isn't always top notch, yeah they could use some aguas frescas, pepinos AND rábanos cortados and some cebollitas en cada orden and this would completely take it to another level! Also their guacamole game is weak. Todo eso es la neta.
Pero, I would be lying if I said I didn't love this place.
Maybe it's the fact that they are basically always open. Alomejor it's because you can just eat afuera con el taquero when you wanna have a quick bite y agarras botana con la raza allí.

Today I ordered 2 burritos and 4 tacos for my wife and I, and I ended up paying $28. I know they've sold the tacos for $2 each, so that means they sold me two burritos for $20! That's insane for how small they are compared to other places. I can literally purchase a burrito, nearly twice the size, for $8 elsewhere. I wish they would just stay consistent. It's like they charge whatever they want based on their mood that day. That's it....
Read moreRelevant details up front. Store doesn't speak even a little English but the food is good, it's not cheap but not overly expensive either.
Visited this place with the grandparents and had a little difficulty ordering due to a pretty severe language barrier, but the older lady working there was friendly and once we got everything worked out the food came out fairly quickly and was pretty good.
Location is inside a back alley through what looks like a small back door into a seating area behind a food truck which is the actual kitchen as far as I can tell. It's not the most visually pleasing location on the exterior, interior seating area was clean if a...
