According to a Pacifica news source I just learned about, the Pacifica Patch, there’s a better spot for “Mission District burritos” than The Mission (Rob Schneider probably reads that, he grew up in Pacifica!). Well, maybe not better, but just as good, and closer, if you live in Pacifica (like author ZZ Packer!). Camden Swita claims that Guerreros Taqueria “offers everything taste-wise as Taqueria Cancún and more” (Adolescents lead singer, Tony Cadena, probably agrees, he’s also from there!).
Anyway, I don’t mean to spark a debate, there’s no reason a taqueria 12 miles away from this neighborhood couldn’t have burritos that are just as good (former first baseman Keith Hernandez would know, he grew up there too!). Personally, I think it’s hard to find many bad burritos around here and I leave it at that (Carlos Santana probably wouldn’t, he grew up in The Mission!).

Pacifica is the asshole of the Peninsula.
Obviously you haven’t been to the Pacifica I live in. Maybe YOU are the asshole of the Peninsula, and you’re projecting.
Lol. Typically i’d say Daly City is the asshole of the peninsula, but having lived in Pacifica for 3 years now, i agree and continue the ANALogy:
Pacifica = Bleached Asshole
Daly City = Musty Taint
San Francisco = Hairy Vagina
hahahaha
When I lived in Concord there was a strip mall burrito place at Treat and Oak Grove that was honestly as delicious as any Mission burrito place, but why drive out of town when we’ve got a jillion choices right here?
the mission has good burritos?? maybe for the palette of east coasters, and mid-westerners.
Not “good”, rather, The best.
So many lameass socalians come up here with their coke-ruined palates and try to tell us how to make Burritos. Bitches, PLEASE. They’re called motherfuckin’ MISSION BURRITOS for a reason.
Gold Standard.
In 1961, Febronio Ontiveros began offering the first retail burrito in San Francisco at El Faro (The Lighthouse), a corner grocery store on Folsom Street. Ontiveros is credited with inventing the “super burrito” style leading to the early development of the “San Francisco style”. This innovation involved adding rice, sour cream and guacamole to the standard meat, bean and cheese burrito.
this is from wikipeeds
maybe that’s why they say they are the home of the original “super burrito”
By gold standard do you mean runny tasteless sour cream.. mounds of unseasoned rice.. over cooked greasy meat or veggies all wrapped in a factory made days old tortilla..
if thats what you mean. well; mission you got the gold standard! Way to go!
Nope, I mean damnfine cream, mounds of delicious rice, of cooked greasy meat and veggies all wrapped in a lovely tortilla.
Everything a burrito should be… it is.
I used to live in Pacifica,and if I remember correctly this place doesn’t even have al pastor.
Redwood City=Best Mexican in the Peninsula so far anyway ha
@Meesha – +1
SSF
San Mateo
Redwood City
more than Pacifica
Agreed!
La Morena in south city= ^_^ well, I like chorizo and eggs is a meat choice there.
I live right up the street from this Taqueria and I can say with certainty that is not worth visiting. I love Mexican food and I used to live in the Mission (as well as other areas of SF) and this is a sub-par Taqueria. I still eat there, as it is 2 minutes from my house and the only Taqueria for miles, but it is only out of necessity. If you happen to be in Pacifica , the Taqueria in the Linda Mar shopping center is much better.
