North Beach Cantina

1230 Grant Ave

Since 1998, Taqueria Zorro has been a North Beach staple, delighting San Franciscans with scratch-made Mexican classics built on local, seasonal ingredients. From tender al pastor carved from our trompo and warm, fresh tortillas to vibrant veggies and flame grilled meats, each burrito, taco, and quesadilla is assembled with care and creativity. Our welcoming space and friendly service—daytime or late-night—make every visit feel like dining with friends. Planning an event? Our catering specialists design custom taco bars, boxed lunches, or family-style spreads for 10–500+ guests, handling delivery, setup, service ware, and cleanup. Reach us at catering@taqueriazorro.com to craft a menu that’s as memorable as your occasion.

We have been serving fresh tacos in North Beach since January 2018. Inspired by Jorge’s love for the food of San José de Gracia, Jalisco, our story began with a simple goal: bring genuine Mexican cuisine to SF using the best local ingredients - the same approach that first earned attention through Jorge’s earlier concept, Pa’dentro, known for ceviches and tacos.

XICA short for Cocina Xicana is a family owned Mexican kitchen & bar. Chef Maria Elena & Ignacio craft bold, Mexican dishes & cocktails from scratch using locally sourced ingredients.
