So you want a Burrito...
Oh the Burrito debate. Let it begin.
My secret for amazing burritos is: head to the fringes of the city. If you think you can find a decent Burrito downtown, in Pacific Heights, North beach, or the Marina, think again. Start in the Mission and work your way through the district. Here are my favorite places to get a proper San Francisco style Burrito.

Although this establishment may feel like an assembly line or a factory, just trust that those people in their blue hats and vest really do know what they are doing. With a line out the door (and security personnel) this place means business. Make sure you know which kind of Burrito you want, before it is your turn.

Sometimes it is nice to be able to count on a late, late night taco. At El Farolito on Mission street, you are sure to find the door open, at most hours of the day or night. They serve cheap, fast mexican food, beer and even have some of the more traditional items on their menu. Cow Brains anyone? Cactus? Tongue?

For local San Franciscans, La Taqueria offers a warm homecoming. With possibly the best chicken tacos in the world, this place is worth a visit. Stop in, sit out side on a hot day, and enjoy the best the mission has to offer.

The reviews of Papalote are consitesntly positive. Their Burritos have been perfected and the Jack cheese always melted, tortilla always hot. Papalote is also colorful, with blue ceramic tiles along the outside and red signs. It is a little bit hidden, deep in the mission, but serves as the perfect dinner spot.
