What's this about?

San Francisco's Mission District is synonymous with burritos. Where else can you find multiple taquerias in a two-block radius? It seems like everyone has an opinion on what place makes the best burrito in the Mission. Or you can go on Yelp and find testimonies on the most amazing, mouth-watering burritos. Often, those recommendations have disappointed me every time.

However, what credentials do those reviewers have? Are they from the Mission? Are they Mexican? Do they make Mexican food?

No. No. No.

I am 4th generation San Franciscan from the Mission District and a proud Chicana. My mother is an excellent cook and taught me to make tacos, enchiladas, burritos, posole, tamales, etc.

I have decided to create a blog about my quest for the best Mission burrito. I will eat a burrito from every taqueria in the Mission and rate them according to a scorecard. Check for my results.

Taqueria Guadalajara



TAQUERIA GUADALAJARA
3146-24th Street @ Shotwell

PRICE: $6.02 (including tax)

Taqueria Guadalajara has an impressive salsa bar.

I conducted this taste test on April 13, 2010. My mother and stepfather also participated and filled out scorecards.

And if you are curious, it weighed 1.8 lbs.

OVERALL RATING: 7 (me), 5 (stepfather), and 8 (mother)
(1= lowest, 10= highest)

The chicken is grilled. Even though I prefer boiled chicken, it's not bad.

Not bad.

Quality of Rice: 6, 5, and 8
Not bad.

Quality of Salsa: 5, 6, and 8
The salsa bar is excellent. It has 3 types of salsa as well as marinated onions, radishes, and jalapenos.

Note: None.

EXTRAS
Free chips? Yes
Free salsa? Yes

FINAL THOUGHTS
Although it was on the expensive side, the burrito was good. I would go back for the salsa bar alone.
