La Espiga De Oro

They have the best chicharrones and really good simple breakfast burritos. Great place to grab breakfast/lunch

So honestly this place deserves 3.5 stars!Pros: 1. Open after 6pm during weekdays. 2. Affordable deals. Not too costly.3. Nice variety in terms of offerings. They've baked goods, tortilla chips, Latin American grub & drinks. Also they offer vegetarian options. 4. Discount for items paid in cash. This is fair because not all people trust digital currency & not many owners can afford to pay VISA & electronics service fees. Cons: 1. Not much condiments around. I wanted hot sauces to put my pupusas. 2. Took a while to get my single pupusa. Perhaps around 10 to 12 minutes despite not much customers around. 3. The workers hardly know English so Spanish is a must. Tossup: The ambience is where this line applies; "You get what you pay for ".

Tamales are fresh and varied. More comfortable seating is needed to eat in. Mostly take away for Mexican and Central American specialties. My favorite is the Guatemalan tamale with a side of fried pork skin, chitchatron.

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.

Great spot to grab some tamales. So many different flavours and styles from Mexico and Central America. Helps if you speak Spanish but everyone there is friendly and happy to help if you want. There are a few tables in the front of the place is you want to sit and eat or order made to order papusas or other items. This is the definitely the spot if your looking for some good tamales which is why I will go when I have that craving.

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.

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.

I ran out of the Chicharones which was my main purpose in got there. I bought some fried plantain but it was hard to. I bought some Carnitas and that was tasty. I was surprised because it was expensive when I paid for it. I think that the lady was distracted by this guy she was looking at and talking you.

The food here is a 3 out of 5. Some items on the menu are tasty while others can be bland. This place would get 5 stars if all the employees that work, serve, cashiers would have a smile and some notion of good customer service skills. The employees seem to be either mad, upset or unhappy to be there. They are not welcoming and their attitude stinks!

Wow was I duped by the Yelp rating. This review is just for the food. It sucks. I tried regular burritos and Guatemalan tamales. Couldn't even finish it.
