**Service, 5/5** Friendly phone service and quick easy pick up. Everything was ordered correctly and packed neatly. **Price & portion, 4/5** Not cheap but for a San Francisco restaurant this is actually a great price for a big portion **Packaging, 5/5** They killed it on the to go boxes. They have specific styles of packaging for each type of menu item. No longer are the days where you have to suffer through a wet item soaking through your paper box. The guac had a nice plastic tub, the tacos had a platter with a plastic lid, and the burrito was wrapped in foil. **Taste, 3/5** Looking at the food, I was so impressed and thought I would love it but honestly it was just average. Al pastor tacos were packed but the meat was dry and the veggies were a bit soggy. Shrimp burrito was delicious but not much meat. Guac was actually really good and spicy. This location is a short drive away from the best burritos in the bay (Mission District) so if im in the area I would much rather one of those.
Cinco de mayo is an excuse to eat tacos and have cerveza, am I right? The steak and shrimp tacos have my san diego stamp of approval but the burrito....well I guess I won't yuck your yum.
TLC is a super solid option. It always tastes good, looks good, and is consistently the same. I've liked everything -- nachos, burritos, breakfast burritos (all day!), bowls. I love that they have the combination of black beans + plantain, but I usually get their refried pintos otherwise.
If you like spicy, then get the steak and shrimp Al Diablo burrito. This thing was sooo good. One of the best burritos I've had in the city. Great tortilla and utterly delicious spicy ingredients with poblano peppers. Yummmm
We were happy to see that this outpost of Little Chihuahua was added to Uber Eats. The one on Polk St. was disappointing every time. We stopped ordering from them altogether. Then, the Divisadero location showed up. We ordered & we were very satisfied. Mainly b/c they read order notes and added the salsas from their salsa bar that we requested. Tonight we put in same order & requested the same salsas. It was delivered "dry." No salsas included at all. We used some left over Taco Bell taco sauces as that was all we had. We didn't order Little Chihuahua to use generic taco sauce packets. They make really good salsa there. If you can't be assured you'll get requested salsas then it's a waste of money.
