I've driven by Super Taquerias plenty of times, but finally visited one with a friend after her recommendation!
Note: Safety-wise, it's probably best to come here with a buddy especially when it gets dark since the area is a bit sketchy.
Super Tacos || $3.49
Medium-sized flour tacos stuffed with beans, cheese, salsa, avocado slices, and your choice of meat. Being vegan, my friend just gets this sans meat and raves about the flavor.
Super Burrito || ~$6.89
A pretty large burrito with beans, cheese, avocado slices, salsa, and your choice of meat. I opted to get carne asada for mine. The upside is that they don't stuff up the burrito with rice at all :)
The green and orange sauces apparently are a hit or miss. The day I visited, the green sauce was spicy and very salty. According to my friend, it usually isn't such a salt mine. The orange sauce is much spicier, so that might be a good taco topper if you love the heat. -

Pretty good portion and prices!
I got a super taco with carnitas and they really stuffed it with meat which is great because some places can be seriously skimpy.
Also generous portions of avocado too!
Minus one star because the corn cheese quesadilla was very tiny. I only like cheese on mine but there wasn't enough cheese it in - oh well. Still good! -

We first learned about the Super on 10th in 1990 in college. We've been to every single one in the Bay Area and they are among my go-to's and I have specific ST cravings.
I'm Celiac, as I mention in every restaurant review, and I always get the Super Carnitas on corn tortillas and have never gotten sick, and always enjoy it. I haven't found a better carnitas in the valley. -

I tried 8 different tacos with 8 different taco meats here. It included carne asada, Chile verde, lengua, carnitas, intestine and much more. I love that each taco can basically be customized with the toppings you can choose from the toppings bar. This includes onion, cilantro, salsa in several varieties, lime, pico de Gallo, peppers and much more. The toppings and sauces are unlimited. Their horchata was also very delicious. It is one of my favorite drinks of all time. I liked that it wasn't too thick but also wasn't watery. It also wasn't overly sweet. I also tried chile verse nachos and loved how crispy and thin the nacho tortilla chips were. There's plenty of parking and there is both indoor and outdoor seating. Other drinks they have included jamaica and tamarind juice. The prices here are very affordable. I spent about $65 for 6 people with healthy appetites. My fiancé tried the super burrito and thought it was good but wouldn't have been as good if he didn't add all of the salsas and sides that were provided at the bar. Do not skimp on toppings from the bar! It is a must.

Ever since my friend brought a sack of buche super tacos for a potluck (Carey, you the real MVP!), I've been in love with Super Taq. Having just returned from 6 weeks from Asia, I was craving a real taco something fierce so when the opportunity to hit up Super Taq came up, I pounced on it.
Rating Breakdown:
2/2 Stars for Taste --
This review is based on the super tacos, because if you come to Super Taq and don't get a super taco, what are you doing? Re-evaluate your life. Get it together. The fat slices of avocado they come with are worth it, I promise you. OK, let's talk about the meats. BUCHE. I usually get tripas on my tacos so I was skeptical about buche at first, but hot damn! That texture, that flavor -- SUPERB. The lengua here is also not to be missed, super tender and stewed with peppers and tomatoes. My sister really enjoyed the cabeza as well. Each taco comes with a juicy scoop of meat on top of a cheesy tortilla griddled to crispy perfection.
1/1 Stars for Value --
The super taco is about $3.50, but it is FAT. The meat portions are generous and they don't skimp on the avocado. I am comfortably full after two but can probably squeeze in a third...or fourth if I wanted to.
1/1 Stars for Customer Service --
Free small parking lot. Service is pretty fast. It's a clean up after yourself kind of place. Cash only.
Bonus star because I already want this again and I just had it yesterday.
TL;DR -- BUCHE SUPER TACO
