The Carne Asada Burrito was great! The carne asada chunks were delicious and tasted fresh (not dry or tasting reheated like other places). The ratio and distribution of meat, beans and rice was perfect so every bite was consistently good. The 3 salsas on the table were delicious and spicy. Service was friendly, food was ready quickly, and the ambiance was lovely. MUCH better than Tacko which has gone down. So glad to know of a good burrito place in this part of town! I was pleasantly surprised after the reviews set a low expectation. Also, I tried this place years ago and wasn't impressed. I don't know if it's a different owner or they improved -- but I'll be coming here regularly!

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.

Just popped by to check out the menu. Wasn't sure what I wanted but ordered the chicken quesadilla with avocado. Boy was it good! I'm glad I went it!

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.
