Good option for a quick meal - Edit
I’m travelling with family who are meat eaters so needed a option where we could all eat together.
Read moreEveryone enjoyed the food here and it was good to have 2 taco options!
I really enjoyed the cactus taco but the impossible beef I liked more. I also had some chips and guacamole, and the guacamole was really good!
Staff all helpful and friendly.
Being from the UK the price was what I would expect being here in a popular city.

Impossible tacos - Edit
Ça fait le café quand on veut pas aller plus loin que Pier 39. Franchement j'ai trouvé le taco impossible bon. Un peu grassouillet parcontre, fait pas y aller en cas de régime.

Le service bien a l'américaine parcontre, t'as à peine avalé ta dernière bouchee qu'ils insistent un peu lourdement pour récupérer ton assiette parce que "la table doit rester propre". ON SOUFFLE.

One of the places for vegan options on Pier 39 - Edit
Clearly marked vegetarian options either cactus and mushroom or impossible tacos. I asked and the black beans are vegan, however the rice has chicken stock in it. There is a plate with rice and beans and they were happy to drop the rice and giving a double portion of beans. The taco was pretty greasy and not super flavorful. Not the worst but there are better taco places.

Delicious tacos! - Edit
I was surprised to find good vegan options in such a touristy area! The tacos were delicious and not too expensive for the area either. There are several options, but we all got the Beyond beef tacos.

Tasty impossible taco - Edit
This Mexican restaurant and bar is pretty good. One of the only places in pier 39 with vegan options and it’s actually delicious. The impossible taco is big and so flavorful. The view of the water is amazing too. Will be back.

Surprising Spot with a View - Edit
I don't normally seek out Mexican food especially somewhere as touristy as Pier 39, but then I saw actual plant-based options at more affordable pricing, I was all set for the ride.
Read moreLocated on the second floor, Taco Cantina offers a full menu of tacos and side dishes that can cater to everyone's dietary needs. I was attracted to their cactus and impossible meat tacos, but ended up just ordering some guac to share with the table. The guac was a good portion size and there were plenty of chips provided to serve as your tool to get the avo mash inside your mouth.
Food aside - the views of the San Francisco Bay while dining outside was breathtaking. It felt like an escape from the insane hustle and bustle of Pier 39 downstairs so it was well worth the lunch visit.
If I ever wind up in the area again, definitely going to consider ordering a margarita and just relaxing upstairs even if just for a bit.
