El Capitan Taqueria
Welcome to El Capitan Taqueria, a vibrant gem nestled in the heart of San Francisco, at 1198 Folsom St. This lively taqueria has garnered attention not just for its mouthwatering Mexican fare but also for its welcoming atmosphere and diverse menu that caters to all palates.
As a food reviewer for Foodjoyy, I couldn't resist diving into the culinary offerings at El Capitan Taqueria. From the first step in, you are greeted by a casual vibe and the enticing aroma of freshly prepared dishes. The restaurant uniquely offers delivery, takeout, and even reservations, making it an excellent choice for family gatherings or casual meals with friends.
One of the standout features of El Capitan is its broad selection of vegetarian and vegan options. A recent visit had me indulging in the highly praised Beyond Super Burrito wrapped in a spinach tortilla. This burrito was a flavor explosion, packed with fresh ingredients, proving that vegetarian dishes can be both satisfying and delicious. Complimenting the burrito was the Mushroom Quesadilla. While slightly bland on its own, it became a delightful canvas for the rich and zesty hot sauce available. Many patrons, including customer Kiran S., have echoed similar sentiments highlighting the variety and freshness of major offerings.
- Comfort and Convenience: El Capitan boasts covered outdoor seating, making it a perfect spot to enjoy your meal al fresco. With the added benefit of Wi-Fi and TV, it's an excellent hub for gathering with friends or unwinding after a busy day.
- Satisfying Selections: The menu goes beyond burritos and quesadillas, featuring delightful taco options like fish, shrimp, and steak—favorites among regulars like customer David E. The El Capitan Taco Salad is another must-try, offering a hearty blend of rice, beans, and your choice of meat alongside fresh toppings.
- Vibrant Atmosphere: At night, expect a lively ambiance as El Capitan turns into a favorite after-party spot, thanks to its proximity to local clubs. However, there are also quieter moments throughout the day, making it versatile for all occasions—perfect for breakfast, brunch, and lunch.
In summary, El Capitan Taqueria is the ideal spot for anyone craving authentic Mexican cuisine in a relaxed environment. Whether you stop by for a quick meal or to enjoy a spirited gathering, this taqueria promises to deliver a satisfying experience filled with flavors that will keep you coming back. Don't miss out on their delicious aguas frescas, a perfect accompaniment to any meal!

Our Guestbook
“ In town for the NBA All-Star weekend & mostly ate at the events but had heard about this place all throughout social media so wanted to give it a try during the late night regardless of the reviews. Ordered takeout & got the beyond super burrito with a spinach tortilla & the mushroom quesadilla. The beyond burrito was delicious! It was a bit sloppy with pieces of filling sticking out of the burrito but was flavor in every bite. You also don't feel gross or heavy after. The mushroom quesadilla was good but there were more bell peppers & onions vs mushrooms in it. Was a bit bland on its own but nothing some hot sauce can't fix. They have a lot of options for vegetarian & vegans. Had no issues with our delivery order & had only vegetarian food but afterwards I did see the other reviews about potential health violations. ”
“ Nice and friendly staff, tried the fish, shrimp and steak tacos, overall pretty solid for fast casual, salsa was good. ”
“ Good prices, good variety of many Mexican Taqueria classics, and decent service. Also, they have my personal favorite - All day breakfast! I've been here about 4 times at different times of the day in the last month and a half. This place is known as an afterparty spot due to the proximity to two clubs and a joint pizza shack adjacent. However, there are quiet moments throughout the day and evening. In contrast, at night It can get crowded, busy, and a little crazy. The place is a little small but they have a bathroom, single/table/counter seating, and alcohol. There is also tasty aguas frescas. ”
