Tiny counter-service Al Carajo in the Mission is pumping out Yucatecan plates that get the job done—as long as you order right. The tacos de pastor negro are tangy and the juicy chicken tinga quesadillas work great with the spicy red salsa. On the other hand, the seafood dishes like the octopus panuchos, the ceviche yucateco, and the aguachile leave a lot to be desired. Each of these dishes feel like they have their flavors turned down a few notches. Still, this place works in a pinch for a casual lunch or dinner, but just keep in mind that there are only two high tops inside and a small (but heated) patio outside.
