Acerca de
Lunch on Hillside Boulevard in South San Francisco can mean a burrito from El Palenque Taqueria, an independent taqueria at number 245 with Samuel Moreno named as owner. This listing was compiled from public business records and is awaiting the owner's confirmation. Restaurant directories updated in 2026 still show it serving under the same name, address and phone number that the chamber holds.
What a taqueria like this usually serves
A business of this kind in San Mateo County usually builds its menu around tacos, burritos, quesadillas, tortas and combination plates. Fillings run from carne asada and al pastor to carnitas, chicken and sometimes lengua or fish, with rice, beans and a salsa bar alongside. Ordering is normally at the counter, and most of the trade is takeout, with a handful of tables for anyone eating in.
An online ordering page under the restaurant's name mentions takeout, catering and outdoor seating. El Palenque has not confirmed those details itself, so treat them as a starting point rather than a promise.
Ordering and visiting
Walk-ins are the norm at taquerias, and a small group rarely needs a reservation. For a party tray or an office lunch, call a day or two ahead with the head count, and ask how much notice large orders need and whether a deposit is expected. If someone eating has an allergy or follows a vegetarian diet, ask whether the beans are cooked with lard and which items can be made without meat or cheese. Delivery apps may carry the menu, but hours and prices there can lag behind the counter, so phone to check before setting out, and ask where to park while you are on the line.
Who it serves
Regulars come from South San Francisco and from neighbouring San Bruno, Brisbane, Colma, Daly City, Millbrae, Pacifica and Burlingame, all a short drive away in the northern part of San Mateo County. Business records give 2005 as the year the taqueria was established.

Most taquerias can make burritos and tacos with beans, rice, cheese and vegetables. Ask whether the beans or rice are cooked with lard or meat stock if you avoid animal products.
