“ Go for the beer battered fish tacos over the grilled fish tacos. Also have it Nicks Way. The crispy tortilla makes a large difference. ”
“ Ordered a side of guacamole to go. It costs $6 and it was in a container barely bigger than their salsa container. It's barely enough for 2 chips. Incredibly overpriced and misleading. Edit: Owner reached out to me directly regarding this. Seemed like an honest mistake from 1 employee. I appreciate the owner reaching out to me and retraining his staff. Updating my review to 5 Stars. Thanks Doug! ”
“ Updating my review with another picture of the nachos because I think it's my best one yet. It's one of my favorite meals in San Francisco. It's my comfort food! ”
“ Underdogs Tres is a solid spot for Mexican food, especially if you're a taco lover. They're known for their Nick's Way tacos, which are a game-changer -- combining a crispy shell with a soft tortilla for the perfect texture contrast. The flavors are spot on, with fresh ingredients and great seasoning. Their quesadillas are also worth mentioning -- cheesy, gooey, and just the right amount of indulgent. The vibe is laid-back, making it a great place to grab a casual bite. Whether you're a taco enthusiast or just in the mood for some good Mexican food, Underdogs Tres delivers! ”
“ A staple in my rotation. Great place for catching up with friends over margaritas and tacos, especially if you make it during their happy hour which I believe is 4:30-6pm on weekdays. $5 house margs and $3 tacos. Churros are always a hit, don't miss those. ”
“ Great place for Mexican food in the Sunset district! Food is tasty, prices are reasonable, service is great, the atmosphere inside is lively. What's not to like? I've tried the burrito and the quesadilla and they're both solid options. LOVE their green salsa. I drench my food with it everytime. Need to try the fish tacos next time. Will be back! ”
“ Recently visited again (first time at this new location which is not that new anymore) and loved it. Super yummy tacos and more. Service was also friendly. Really dark when you walked in but loved sitting in the back patio area where there's outdoor light and especially good on a nice day. Located on 9th Ave and Lincoln Way in the Inner Sunset; in between Um.Ma and Tartine Inner Sunset. ”
