Get the Guatemalan tamales. The tias here are nice and they're quick. Get the Guatemalan tamales. There's space to sit and eat but most of the time we take to go. Did I already say Get the Guatemalan tamales? Get the Guatemalan tamales.

Came here for the first time today for an Asada Super Burrito and boy, it did not disappoint! The tortilla was nicely toasted on the outside and all the ingredients within tasted super fresh. The steak pieces were nicely crisp and not overly salty. I especially enjoyed the ratio of rice, sour cream, cheese, avocado, pico de gallo, and meat in the burrito. It felt like every bite was perfect! And for the price of $10.25, this is one of the best deals you can get for a super burrito with chips and salsa. There's a small eating area in the shop so space is a bit limited. If you are not in the mood for a Mission burrito, there are pupusas, tamales, and taco options as well! Our server was very nice and offered green and red salsas to us for our chips.

Another gem in the neighborhood. Good buche (a la carte). Good burrito. Not cheap, but good!

Cool restaurant and market in the Mission. This was the first time I've tried a Guatemalan-style tamale and it was so good! I'd definitely come back again. The pupusas were a bit oily, but overall tasted great. There is a very small seating area and I noticed most people ordering food to-go.

Doesn't look as appealing as other Mexican spots, but the food is authentic . Ask for la milanesa de pollo o Res and enjoy ! Big portions and family environment ! Also the prices are great for the portions !

I was really craving for some tamales, so I found this place on Yelp. I ended up ordering one carnitas taco and two tamales: elote and pork. I had devoured my tamales because they were already made. I enjoyed the pork tamale more. The sweet corn was just okay. The taco was pretty good though. My husband ordered the pescado frito. His meal was taking a really long time to come out. We were worried that they had forgotten his order. But what we didn't realize was that his order was a deep fried fish which is why it took so long. The plate was huge! We weren't expecting the fish to be a whole fish as well. So I ended up eating some of my husband's dinner since it was a lot of food. We were super full and content with our meals! I love how generous the portion sizes are! If you want delicious and cheap Mexican food, I highly recommend checking out this hidden gem! I'll be back again!

Get the Caldo de Res. That's all. I came in during one of these windy rainfalls, bustling in cold and dripping just to warm myself up with some of this hearty nourishing broth. I had just gotten the booster shot, too, so I knew I had to shore up my defenses to prevent against a bad reaction (it worked, by the way; I'm feeling great through to the next day). It's got zucchini, carrots, potatoes, and thick cuts of slow-cooked meat (they don't skimp on it, either). I felt so cozy and safe and content slurping it down. Absolutely fire. I also got one Pupusa Revuelta, which I thought was a bit overpriced (over $4) until it came out of the kitchen; the diameter spread wider than my hand. Still a bit pricy, but worth it! La Espiga de Oro is one of my favorite places to come to in the Mission to chow down on a feast with my friends and family. The people there are awesome as well--always so kind, ready to help, and willing to prioritize the customers' needs.
