Set on the horizon of Fisherman’s Wharf, Taco Cantina is the newest patio dining destination that redefines relaxation on Pier 39. Pull up a chair, order a margarita, and enjoy the views that span the length of the bay.
Authentic family recipes and traditions, a love of celebration, and the perfect puffy taco are the true influencers of Taco Cantina. Whether you’re coming to feast on a variety of tacos — all made from fresh, locally-sourced ingredients — or you’re sipping in the scene with friends over a pitcher of margaritas, your hearts and taste buds are sure to feel the glimmer of joy that Taco Cantina was founded on.
TACOS. OR NOT TACOS.
All made from fresh, locally-sourced ingredients, our authentic puffy tacos are the staple of Taco Cantina. We also offer a variety of non-taco plates, tasty options for kiddos, and (non)alcoholic drinks that will satisfy your cravings on our patio or in our refreshing indoor space.Taco Cantina Menu - Sam Francisco Updated 4/10/2026
