TacoBar

On a whim we headed to Fillmore Street for a quick bite and a little shopping. We decided on TacoBar, a simpatico corner restaurant with an inviting menu of tacos, bowls, salads and quesadillas. I believe one of the owners came from Nick's Crispy Tacos, a Russian Hill mainstay. After we ordered there was a fairly lengthy wait (15-20 minutes) for a fast/casual spot; I was glad we got an order of chips and guacamole (good but at $9, expensive).The Al Pastor quesadilla had lots of melty cheese, pico de gallo and tasty bits of pork; The Incinerator loved. I got two street tacos, both shrimp, one Baja style and the other, grilled. They had fantastic flavor and crunchy texture with ancho seasoning, Baja lime sauce, slaw and jicama.You can run up your bill pretty quickly if you get any sides or soda, beer or a margarita. It's kind of the BMW of menus, everything's à la carte ("Oh, you want a steering wheel? That'll be $3,800 on top of the base price"). The trio of house salsas, however, were complimentary and zesty but I had to ask for them. Ambiance is casual with seating that doesn't invite lingering: I'm tall and I felt I needed to climb onto the high stools at the shared table in the center of the small dining room. For bougie fast/casual, TacoBar's a good fit for the neighborhood.

I don't get the mediocre rating, I tried this place for the first time and can't wait to go back! I mixed and matched a Carne asada taco and a Baja fish taco and I'm very picky about steak, it was fresh, juicy, tender, and flavorful.The piece of battered fish I got was huge and delicious! They had a trio of fresh salsas and I probably ate a half cup of their Pico style salsa it was so good. The interior (and bathroom) were clean and bright and an older gentleman who I assume is the manager or owner checked in to make sure I was happy. I'll definitely be back for an affordable, filling, casual meal.

Solid effort, but not outstanding.I found the food to be a tad spicy, but that could just be me as I don't like a lot of spice.Service was very good indeed. The restaurant is clean and tables are bussed quickly and hygienically.

Great Baja fish burrito! Service was quick and efficient and they had a good selection of salsas. The restaurant was very bright and clean. Horchata was also good, not too sweet.

This is a cute little taco spot. We got a grilled fish burrito and was a little disappointed that there was no rice in it as we expected burritos with rice and beans. It felt more like a salad burrito, fish, and coleslaw. For $15 this was not worth it. The taste was OK but definitely needed sauce. The service was quick straight and simple. Not sure if I'd come back.

Would give a 3.5, got Baja fish tacos, and vegetarian. tacos were good , but not amazing. The fish was good, but not super crispy and lacked some flavor. Sauce was good though. Ate outside and staff was very nice.

We were very pleased with our lunch at TacoBar today Sunday 2/9. We had chicken tacos, carnitas tacos, the special of the day pork chile verde tacos, and a carnitas burrito. Everything was very fresh and delicious. The staff were quite friendly and helpful. When the food came they brought a condiment caddy with jars of three different salsas which was a nice touch too. The inside dining area was clean and bathroom was very clean too. Great experience. We will eat there again.

Got some birria tacos here - service was very speedy, so great if you're dire hunger on Fillmore street (it's right on a central street intersection). The tacos were so-so. Liked the onion garnish, but the shells were pretty soggy and the sauce felt a bit like B-tier salsa. It's usually pretty empty inside so easy to talk, but there's no lively crowd for sure.

Came here today with the wife for lunch after she finished some shopping nearby. I opted for a Baja Burrito, which consisted of generous portions of fried cod, mixed in with salad slaw. It was quite delicious, although I definitely would have enjoyed it even more had they used rice instead of slaw. The wife ordered the Veracruz Fish Bowl which she said she wasn't a fan of. Although there was generous portions of fresh fish, the rest of the bowl was just massive portions of slaw, drenched in far too much salsa. They offer indoor and outdoor dining options. This place gets busy pretty fast as well. When we first arrived, there was only 1 other couple in the entire restaurant dining in. But once I stepped up to order, a massive line suddenly queued up behind me out of nowhere, and the entire place filled up. They appear to get waves of people throughout the day. Service was pretty friendly.

Bumping up to five stars since I've been back many times and it's consistently great. One of my favorite burritos in SF. Carne asada burrito is always delicious, love the salsas they give you on the side, service is always friendly and helpful, and it's a lovely & clean place to eat. Lucky to have TacoBar on Fillmore St!
