Ultimate Mission Burrito Guide : SanFrancisco

Ultimate Mission Burrito Guide

Ready your tastebuds, 'cuz I'm droppin' the deets on the Mission's best burritos!

La Taqueria - Folks, it's all about that carne asada. Grilled to perfection and wrapped in a tight, no-rice bundle. Don't forget to get it dorado-style for that crispy goodness.
El Farolito - A legit spot for your past-midnight munchies. Massive burritos that hit the spot with a well-balanced mix of ingredients.
Taqueria Cancun - Variety's the spice of life, and their salsa verde brings the heat. Chicken or al pastor, you can't go wrong.

Pro tip: Beat the line by going off-peak hours. Your belly can thank me later.

Nice rundown on the burritos, but leaving out Papalote? Criminal. They've got a triple threat salsa that'll knock you right out of your socks. And their tofu mole burrito is a curveball for anyone looking to switch things up.

El Farolito’s literally the beacon of light when you're stumbling around at 2 AM looking for grub. You didn't mention their super al pastor burrito, which is definitely a contender for top 3 burritos in the city. That pineapple, though!

YES to Taqueria Cancun's salsa verde! But can we talk about their tortillas too? They’re always so fresh and add the perfect texture to their burritos. Chicken all the way for me, but their fish taco’s worth stepping outside the burrito comfort zone too.

Wow, such basic choices. You probably think Chipotle is Mexican food. 🌯🙄

Rice in a burrito is just filler anyway, La Taqueria's got the right idea. Keeping it keto-friendly with just meat, cheese, and the essentials. Their salsa is FIRE too.

El Farolito is a rite of passage for anyone in the Mission after midnight. That said, I think their veggie burrito deserves a shoutout too. It's a sleeper hit that caters to the plant-based crowd. And their guac is on point.

La Taqueria's carne asada is legendary, no doubt! But have you tried their carnitas? Absolute game changer. And totally agree on the dorado-style—it's like the golden ticket for burritos. Gotta love that crunch.
