  This place is a favorite now in the crappy town of San Francisco. Nice and clean looking. Decent mood music. Very helpful staff. It is busy at lunch time so get here a bit early or take a late lunch. I had a curry chicken burrito. It tasted very good. I would get it again. There is also a wide variety of bottle and caned drinks. They have table seating outside if you want.
  
  Enjoy.

  Love this place. Their breakfast burritos have hash-browns, eggies, AND beans. You won't get hungry until dinner time. The couple that runs this place are so so kind. Have never had a bad experience here, it's a Friday morning staple for me!

  Pretty darn good food!!! Serving sizes are generous to say the least. The couple who runs the place are pleasant and seem to strive to do better every day. My favorite is their verde chicken burrito. Just the right amount of spice and good flavor. Pricing is good, specially by San Francisco standards. Have been eating here occasionally for the past few years. Have tried both their breakfast and lunch options and haven't been disappointed yet.

  The breakfast burritos here are incredible! We stayed at the Le Meridien next door and opted to to come here instead. Great choice. The owners are such great nice people also.

  Firstly, one should be aware that despite its name there is nothing gourmet about this place.  In fact, I'll just say right now that the only reason I am giving above-average marks is simply because the food's a good deal and tastes alright.  But no, do not expect anything "gourmet" about anything here.  Everything is average quality and cooked alright, but portions are relatively large and CHEAP, especially for a place right in the heart of downtown SF.
  
  It's basically a mom & pop Chipotle.  Same idea, same layout, similar choices, but all hole-in-the-wall style, and CHEAPER.
  
  1. Regular Burrito, Pork $7.36:  You know they're seriously giving you the absolute best deal possible when their prices are set down to the single cent!  Unfortunately I would say the biggest mark against them would be that the meat choices were clearly all cooked hours before and not kept that fresh. The carne asada looked sad, nearing its end of life at the bottom of the container, so I skipped that and got their carnitas (oops, sorry, meant "pork") instead.  Also loaded up with everything, including a HUGE helping to guac.  That's right, no extra charge for guac!!!
  
  Sad thing is, walking to my car my bag tore from the shear weight of their burrito!--and plop it fell onto the garage floor along with all the chips they stuffed in there.  (Oh yeah, does Chipotle give free chips?--hell no.)  Luckily the foil was wrapped like 3x over so it wasn't punctured, but was a huge pain to wrap ha ha!  Anyway, sure enough, upon getting some of that foil off I noticed the innards have burst through in a hole.  Oh well, my fault.  How was it?--well, it was stuffed full of refried beans (my choice), guac, and sour cream so pretty much a stew of heart-attack, just the way I like it!  The pork was stringy and not very flavorful, but hell, I just paid $7.36 for what would be $10+ at Chipotle which still wouldn't taste as good.  So, not too bad.  For the price, 7.5/10
  
  Again, it's all about the bargain here and getting that silent heart attack in for the day.  Enjoy!
  
  4/5
