SFist reports:

Noted Mission eatery Andalu will close out a 12-year run on the corner of 16th and Guerrero at the end of the year, Inside Scoop reports. Taking its place will be a new Chinese dumpling and noodle joint called Chino, from the guys who brought you Bar Agricole and taco mini-chain Tacolicious.

No more Andalu! Read on.

    Double Dutch must die. Their patrons do with alarming frequency.

    Wow, by the same guys that brought you the shitty, shitty, crapshow that is Tacolicious? That’s a good argument for staying away.

      I really like tacolicious. Good food and they do their best to accommodate my kid because the owner is a family man too

        I can’t speak to your second point (although it is worth noting that taquerias in general tend to be very family-friendly), but as to your suggestion that Tacolicious has good food? That’s just crazytalk.

          They use higher quality meats than local taq. and the tortillas come from La Palma

          Also, my understanding is the owner is local so I see no reason to not give him the benifit of the doubt.

          Food is Americanized but good. .The name of the place is ridiculous and I wanted to dislike when it moved in but don’t. Have you literally eaten there and thought the food was bad?

            Yup. I gave it a shot, and found it to be pretentious, overpriced, and of relatively low quality.

            I will give this place a try. Andalu went way down hill a long time ago, so I am not upset that it is leaving. Tacolicious — while not in any way “authentic” — is pretty good. But I can see how the vibe there would turn people off.

            I agree. I so wanted to hate it when it moved in, but I was surprisingly impressed the first time I was brought there (kicking and screaming).

            I am so happy to not be alone in my hatred of Tacolicious! I’ve been to multiple locations and always incredible disappointed in the quality, flavors, and service.
