Reliable SoMa taqueria with standout al pastor and house tortillas; quick counter service, fair value, but small space and rougher block outside.
Why it gets a B+ for overall quality
Street Taco earns its grade through exceptional food quality—particularly standout al pastor and fresh house tortillas—paired with friendly, attentive service and impressive speed. However, tight seating and limited space combined with a rough street setting prevent it from reaching higher territory. Solid neighborhood taqueria that delivers reliable quality for quick, affordable meals.
Restaurant Summary
A compact SoMa taqueria where the grill sizzles and house tortillas arrive warm, the room feels casual and efficient. Staff are friendly and quick, and several diners rave that the al pastor is the city standout. Some note the block outside can feel rough, but inside it is clean and focused on the food. The cooking leans traditional taqueria rather than chefly fusion: crisp-edged carnitas, juicy carne asada, and nopales or grilled veggies for lighter orders. Expect fresh salsas and steady execution over theatrics. Portions are fair for the price, with burritos often paired with chips and guacamole, making it a solid lunch value by SoMa standards. For families, tacos and quesadillas are easy wins, and mild sauces keep heat in check. There is no explicit kids menu, but simple items like cheese quesadillas, chicken tacos, and rice or beans fit younger eaters. Space is tight, so earlier or off-peak visits work best with kids.
