I have gone to this truck for seven years and it's always a great experience! The carnitas is my favorite . Today I had Esquivel cater a company lunch for me in the financial district . It was next level ! The food was as good as always , delivery prompt and presentation beautiful ! I highly recommend Tacos San Buena !!! Side note....the salsa is BOMB !

Inexpensive tacos, flavorful carne asada and pastor, and very generous w/the escabeche. And the tacos are only $2.75 a pop, and a perfect way to bide time while you wait for the bus to arrive since they are so quick with service too. Another solid, simple taco joint in the Mission!

Tripas tacos made perfectly! Super fast service 7 the salsa on hit!

Amazing place!! Had a chicken super torta, made perfectly! Super fast service, too, and at a very reasonable price!

Aw, I'm so sad I don't happen to work around the corner from these folks anymore, they make such a solid Super Veggie Burrito - good size for lunch (not too big, not too small) and while the components are totally standard (rice, whole pintos, pico, guac, lettuce, sour cream, cheese), they all come together so nicely into a delectable example of the classic. On regular occasion I'd see him chopping up the veggies for the pico right there as he made the burrito, and the beans have a slightly smokey taste, almost like they have some barbecue sauce in them? Beauty in a lunch staple (:

My son fences at Halberstadt Fencing club every Saturday and as a ritual we would eat carnitas tacos at the San Buena truck right after. 3 for him, 4 for me. With a horchata of course! We both get spicy everything on it, cilantro, onion and pickled jalapenos and carrots. Perfect Taco every time. My 9 yo son wants to add, "These tacos are tasty, juicy and the horchata cools it all off."

I thought it was kind of messed up that this truck was right in front of a mexican restaurant- isnt that like a slap in the face for the restaurant? I enjoyed the grilled chicken- it was delicious! The chips were a bit on the hard side and the salsa was OK.

What's the most romantic thing you can do with your significant other? Sit on a sidewalk in between a taco truck and a "scraper" with a couple of pigeons, a plate of three carne asada tacos, and a Coke in a bottle...DUH. And you should get those tacos at El Tonayense Taco Truck!!!! Ok, I didn't know about the 100% health inspection until now, but that's a great thing considering how much I looooove this taco truck. They don't only have tacos--they have burritos and quesadillas also! Get the tacos though. How can you go wrong with $1.75 a piece? They have carne asada tacos, chicken tacos, buche tacos, tongue tacos, brain tacos, tripe tacos...pretty much everything you can think of. They also have some sodas and horchata to wash down your meal. Horchata from ANY Mexican place scares me, so I didn't try it, but I'll definitely be back on a weekly basis for some tacos!

You are kidding me that no one has written about this particular El Tonayense truck. This truck... this truck scares everyone I take with me when I get a taco. It's a sketchy little spot in the Mission- dirty, hookery... but God. Damn. For the last few weeks I've been having this weird sinking feeling that it's time to move out of SF. I've been here longer than I've been anywhere before, and something horrible had happened: I'd lost all desire to eat a burrito (or, in English, "food sock"). Then today, walking home from a midterm, I was suddenly possessed by crazy lust for this truck (and the hookers standing near it!) (just kidding! ew!) (and there weren't actually any hookers!) (unless they were undercover). The truck itself is clean (98% food inspection), and when there's a line at all, it's older Mexican dudes who know what's up. This is the best taco truck in town. Awwww, man. Get a lengua burrito with jalapenos and hot sauce. Or the pollo asada. Or whatever. And remember: all the sketchy people around those parts are probably more scared of you than you are of them. Unless they have a gun.
