Food was definitely authentic and fresh I loved it
Highly recommend this spot. We visited from Cali. Everything was delicious!!
The Super Burrito With Shrimp & Steak Is Muy Delicioso
The one thing Ocean Taqueria has, that the other taquerias around the Excelsior district doesn't have, is taco salads. I tried their steak taco salad $11. It was OK. I had better ones. It came with a crunchy taco shell, a base of iceberg lettuce, grilled onions and peppers, flank steak, sour cream topped with avocado, spicy pico (salsa) and sour cream. That spicy pico had some kick. I did enjoy this taco salad. Some places include rice and beans in their taco salads but this establishment does not. Chips are $0.75. At 7pm, I was the only customer eating in the dining room. My food came out fast. Good job staff at Ocean Taqueria.
Edit: came back again in 2022 to give this place another shot. Ordered quesabira tacos (6). $21 but still not worth it. Undercooked tortillas, lacking in filling, consume is watery and in dire need of salt. Upsetting, was hoping would be different from my last visit, but not the case. Would not recommend and won't go here again Ordered the 2 meat nachos. For $15 it is not worth the money. Not much flavour, pollo rojo is not spicy, no salsa bar, and no cheese on my nachos. While the food does smell good, the flavour falls flat, had to add a lot of salt just for more flavor. Also there was rice with the nachos which just feels like a lot of filler for an already overpriced meal. Would rather go to Guadalajara Taqueria which is across the street, have better ingredients and more value for your money. Wouldn't mind coming back to try a breakfast burrito or a quesadilla, but with so many other options in walking distance, cant see myself going back.
I’ve never eaten somewhere where they treat you so much like family, and have such good food! Reminds me of my mothers cooking,, definitely deserves five stars!
I saw this place and I thought that it was going to be a moment of like “oh why did I spend my money here” but I really got surprise because it was not only a nice treatment of the people who work there but also the food was really good and I only bought a chicken quesadilla but last time that I had a chicken quesadilla in the Mexican restaurant was very bad so I believe if a simple item in the menu as a chicken quesadilla can be good most of the food is going to be good so that’s why I’m recommending this place with five stars because it is a good place to eat and also it feels like homemade food so GO try it and spend your money well
Ocean Taqueria has the best Carne Asada in the city. It marinates all day and they grill it up fresh when you order. It makes a huge difference and the juice that comes off that soaks into the rice and beans which can make this burrito even better if you have leftovers to finish the next day. For those not in the know, Ocean Taqueria is a city stalwart just in a new location. They used to be in Ingleside and had a location on Divisadero(now The City Taqueria, which is I think a sister location as the meat stayed the same after the name switch). With El Farolito and the Ranchero Burrito at Taqueria Guadalajara a block away, the best concentration of Burritos in SF (perhaps the world) is now in the Excelsior.
