Chino's Taqueria

I know this place has been around for along time. While I don't live in the Outer Richmond I sometimes pass it when I do a walk to OB and back home.Yesterday I had friends in town from Santa Barbara and they were noticing no one was friendly, smiled or even made eye contact in this city. Being a native, I've noticed a lot of that these days as well. It's hard to find nice friendly folks.We walked in here so my friends bf could get some tacos because he was getting hangry on our 6 mile walk.My friend and I weren't super hungry so we just sat at the table.Her bf came back to the table with his three tacos and we just watched him eat. Next thing you know the nice lady that works there brought over chips and all their salsa for us to enjoy. I'm like wow how nice she definitely didn't need to do that.We nibbled on the chips and salsa's. They were all were delish. We were happy with the snack. Next thing you know the same lady came over and asked "Do you guys like steak?" She said "I saw him eating his tacos and you guys weren't eating anything so I made you this steak quesadilla!"We were floored by how sweet, nice and generous this lady was. You don't experience this sort of customer service these days at a lot of the establishments in the city.It was absolutely delicious and hit the spot, but the amount of kindness and just the way she made us feel was priceless.Thank you for the delicious food and just being all around a nice human. More people need to be like you!

Came for a nostalgic bite. The burritos were better when I was a high school kid and it was the only Mexican food option. The burrito was good but theres better out there. Its a solid 3/5 veggie burrito. Weirdly it was better cold the day after! Service was mids, ambience its dusty and has not changed since the year 2000. Was worth trying again.

Best veggie burrito in San Fran. Consistently made with fresh hand picked ingredients. A+ every time.

Pretty decent burrito, but $2 to use the restroom?? Especially one that's kind of busted. Rude.

It brings me no pleasure giving this low rating to Chino's as I've eaten there multiple times in the last 10 years and it's usually been fairly solid or at least consistent. Unfortunately the last two times I got a burrito here there was no attention paid to the construction of the burrito and the flavor was a bit lacking.A month or so ago, the burrito I got ended up falling apart on me because it was not tightly wrapped enough. I considered it a one-off, but this weekend my friend and I went for burritos and ended up disappointed. Both of our burritos were soggy b/c due to lots of liquid being added with our meat choices. They were also very loosely wrapped and a mess to eat. I took half of mine home and when I finished it off it was incredibly soggy and unappetizing. The flavors were also fairly bland - I had the spicy chicken + the spicy sauce and it was only moderately spicy. My friend said his carnitas were underwhelming.All in all, we paid $14 each for a poorly wrapped under flavored soggy burrito. I used to like this place so I really hope the quality improves in the future.

Hefty burritos for a good price! Remember to bring cash! Spicy chicken is very delicious and definitely has a good kick to it

Unpretentious spot with good food, great staff and reasonable prices. Just had the chicken plate, it was straight up & good. Nice hand painted sign on the window.

This review is long overdue. Chino's Taqueria is one of my go-to spots in the Richmond District. For quick, easy and affordable comfort food, this is the place to go. I've tried many items on the menu -- the burritos, tacos, quesadillas, chips & guac and plates. Everything is so great. My favorite proteins are the grilled chicken and grilled beef. If you go with the burrito, there's several tortilla options, which is great when you want something a little different. They are always very generous with the portions. The team here is always so friendly and kind. Happy to recommend this place a million times over!

My go-to place for a quick takeout burrito after I walk the dog in Golden Gate Park.. It's not a place where I would sit and eat. It may be nice for a guy or family, but not exactly a girl's afternoon sit and chat sort of place.I always get the grilled chicken burrito. It is huge. But prices have gone up, for two burritos were $26. You get what you pay for as it was worth every dime. Don't forget to tip them very well. They work very hard to keep this neighborhood place going for us.When you go, remember it's Cash Only.Ambiance:I always get confused when I go to this place, because there are 2 doors always open. I don't know which to enter. Or, does it matter. Maybe at one time, this was 2 different stores, and they knocked down a wall. So, one side is the pick what you like and we make it for you while you watch. The other side is this odd grouping of tables and chairs that look like something they found at a sidewalk sale. However, everything looks really clean!These guys definitely mop every night.

We have been coming to Chino's since the 90s when I lived a few blocks away. We have watched the owners and their family members grow up there! This burrito is worth the drive. We drive in from the East Bay. It's that good. The Taqueria is no nonsense but the locals keep coming back for more. It is affordable (3 super burritos plus chips and drinks for ~$40. Cash only but they have an ATM inside. Run don't walk to Chino's! You won't regret it.
