These 8 on the map
The 8 spots on this page, pinned where they actually are. Tap a marker to see which one it is — all 20 are on the map in the Whosly app.
The Mission burrito
Sixteen of the twenty are in the Mission, and most of the arguments are about burritos: rice or no rice, griddled or not, and which line is worth it at 2am.
8 of the 20
La Taqueria
MissionTaquería$No rice in the burrito, ever — meat, beans, salsa, and the option to have it griddled crisp as a dorado. The argument about Mission burritos ends here.
Taqueria Cancún
MissionTaquería$The other side of the burrito argument: rice in, grilled avocado on top, and a vegetarian version people cross the city for.
El Farolito
MissionTaquería$Open past 2am at 24th and Mission, and the super quesadilla suiza is what the late-night line is queuing for. Cash moves faster than the card reader.
Taqueria Vallarta
MissionTaquería$There's a taco cart parked inside the restaurant, carving al pastor off a trompo until two in the morning. Order there, not at the register.
La Palma Mexicatessen
MissionTortillería & Mexican deli$A tortillería first — masa ground on site, tortillas pressed all morning — and the huaraches and pupusas built on top of them.
Nopalito
NoPaMexican restaurant$$Regional Mexican cooking with organic California sourcing: carnitas, a proper pozole, and masa nixtamalized in house.
Poc-Chuc
MissionYucatecan restaurant$$Yucatecan, and one of the only kitchens in the city doing cochinita pibil and sopa de lima the way the peninsula actually does them.
Tommy's Mexican Restaurant
Outer RichmondMexican restaurant & tequila bar$$The family that taught America to drink 100% agave. Hundreds of tequilas behind the bar, and a margarita made with agave nectar instead of triple sec.
