Papalote Mexican Grill
1777 Fulton Street @ Masonic
San Francisco
415-776-0106
Papalote’s known for its fresh and healthy Mexican food. The original one (that I know of) is on 24th & Valencia. (Thanks to the resident ABM who took me there). Though that time I got a Mole Taco and felt it didn’t taste that authentic compared to the fare in Southern California, this time I ordered a basic Pollo Burrito with black beans and a spinach tortilla for $5.45.

Guerrero’s Taqueria
164 Reina Del Mar Ave
Pacifica, CA 94044
(650) 355-2833
Read the reviews on Yelp for more details on this locals-only Mexican restaurant in Pacifica. It’s a serve-yourself affair.
Grubgirl wanted to point out that the soft tacos qualify for cheap eats, since you can get one for $1.90 and it was pretty tasty. I got one with carne asada on it. Most tacos sold from trucks range in the $1.00 - $1.50 range, so for a helping surrounded by four walls, I was impressed by the price for the quantity of meat, white onion, and cilantro on top.

Chavo’s Restaurant
595 Bryant & 4th Streets
San Francisco, CA 94107
415-495-5822
Situated South of Market near a busy freeway off-ramp, Chavo’s provides BIG portions of good Mexican food at a decent price. This is not rock bottom cheap, but for $6-8 you can get a huge cheap super burrito for lunch that stuffs even the heartiest male appetites. Another friend ordered her usual lunch plate of 2 verde (green) enchiladadas, with beans and rice. She had to take leftovers home, too, and she rarely does that. The food is fresh, the meat’s pretty good, and, oh, did I mention that the portions are huge??
