About Tacos El Tucan SF

Tacos El Tucan SF is a taqueria, so expect a short, meat-forward menu, corn tortillas, and salsas made in house rather than a broad sit-down Mexican menu. It sits in San Francisco (94114), CA, independently run.

Diners rate it 4.5 out of 5 across 213 reviews. That rating, weighted by how many people left it, is what places it where it is in our San Francisco ranking.

If a trompo is turning, order al pastor. Otherwise asada or carnitas is the safe read. Ask for everything con todo and work the salsa bar.

It is on 16th St in San Francisco. Use the Directions button for turn-by-turn.

• Al pastor, when there is a trompo turning
• Carne asada and carnitas
• Pollo, and often suadero, lengua or cabeza
• Corn tortillas, doubled
• A salsa bar with onion, cilantro, lime and two or three house salsas

For the real menu and prices, use the venue’s site or the Google listing.
