  1. 1

    La Taqueria

    Mission District

    Try the carne asada super burrito dorado style; the burritos are rice-free, and dorado is recommended for a crispier tortilla.

    1. La Taqueria in the Mission for the burrito argument, then walk Clarion Alley for the murals.

    2. ideally you’d get a burrito or taco at La Taqueria in the Mission (get either carne asada or carnitas).

    3. Any mission burrito. La taqueria is my go to but you can’t go wrong.

    Worth knowing

    • Multiple commenters raised waiting times concerns; one reported "Never would stand in that line for La Taqueria." (branch unspecified).
    • Multiple commenters raised price and value concerns; one reported "i mean it's great, but man need that 2nd mortgage." (branch unspecified).

    Taqueria El Farolito

    Try a super burrito; diners describe the portions as large enough to share or save for another meal.

    1. Farolito got wet burritos and they are fire - had it too many times so i can't eat it anymore.

    2. The burrito was all the way from El Farolito.

    3. really should get a Mission burrito if it’s your first time. I like El Farolito.

    Breakfast Little

    Mission

    Try the Tia Maria breakfast burrito with plantains; one reviewer specifically recommends it.

    1. Breakfast Little on 22nd st has good breakfast burritos

    2. was only here to comment this and was surprised it took so long to see it

    3. I was pretty happy to find out that Breakfast Little is coming to the north side, I would guess late this summer judging by where they are on the buildout.

    Taqueria Cancun

    Try the veggie burrito: one diner describes it as simple, and others specifically recommend the veggie or super veggie.

    1. Taqueria Cancun is my go-to spot for quick burritos/tacos/quesadillas. They claim to have the best veggie burrito in the city, and I agree.

    2. El Farolito for quesadillas, La Taq or Taqueria Vallarta for tacos, Cancun for burritos.

    3. A wet burrito with no meat from Taqueria Cancun is my go to

  5. 5

    Il Canto cafe

    Financial District

    Try the chipotle breakfast burrito; one diner describes a chipotle cheese-and-egg base, with black beans or roasted potatoes as customization options.

    1. If they like a breakfast burrito, Il canto is about as good as they come

    2. il canto - you can add black beans (and many, many other things) to their chipotle cheese and egg base (or sub roasted potatoes). the base price is $7.5 and it's so good

    3. Agreed - but there is always a long long line. It’s really popular with office workers so there’s always about 20 DoorDash folks waiting to pick up burritos.

    Worth knowing

    • Multiple commenters raised the setting concerns; one reported "there’s tons of pushy dashers there" (branch unspecified).
    • Multiple commenters raised waiting times concerns; one reported "there is always a long long line." (source scope: Financial District).

    Papalote

    Mission · NoPa

    Try the tofu mole burrito; multiple diners recommend it as a vegan option.

    1. Papalote on 24th. Massive and will have the white cheese you're looking for.

    2. Try Papalote instead. The have a location in Nopa as well as the one near LT on 24th. I love the soyrizo (chorizo-style sausage made out of soy) burrito. Be sure to get chips and salsa. Their salsa is the best in the city, IMHO.

    3. Vegan tofu mole burrito from Papalote

    Señor Sisig

    Valencia

    At the Valencia location, try the Mission burrito; one diner says they love it.

    1. I like Señor Sisig

    2. Señor Sisig fucks pretty hard, my go to is the Tosilog burrito.

    3. Senor Sisig for a Filipino burrito.

    Underdogs Tres

    Inner Sunset

    Try the Santa Fe breakfast burrito with roasted green chilies, eggs, potatoes, Monterey Jack and pico; one commenter suggests adding bacon.

    1. Not to mention they do one of the best breakfast burritos in town.

    2. Underdogs has a shockingly good B&C. It’s on a whole wheat tortilla, which sounds like it would ruin it, but it absolutely does not. Get the orange sauce for dipping.

    3. Underdogs

    • Multiple commenters raised taste concerns; one reported "the last few times they didn't have any flavor so hesitant to recommend." (branch unspecified).

    La Palma Mexicatessen

    Mission

    Try a carnitas burrito: one regular orders carnitas, and the tortillas are made in-house and cooked to order.

    1. La Palma for the best burritos.

    2. La Palma, on 24th Street, in the Mission. Hands down.

    3. But for burritos I’m usually a carnitas guy but they’re also known for their chicharron.
      Full quote
      Breakfast burritos are usually a miss at most traditional taquerias as they are kind of a gringo menu item, but they used to have a breakfast sandwich that was on point (not sure if they still have it). … But for burritos I’m usually a carnitas guy but they’re also known for their chicharron. … Tbh I usually go with tacos or super suiza because their handmade tortillas are one of the standout features.

    3. the place that had the best being she's burrito by far was El Buen Sabor.
