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 San Francisco



TAQUERIA SAN FRANCISCO
2794-24th Street @ York

PRICE: $5.48 (including tax)

Since Taqueria San Francisco is close to my home, my family and I eat there often. The guy behind the counter, Vidal, has been working there for a long time; he's great.

I conducted this taste test on April 10, 2010. My mother and stepfather also participated and filled out scorecards.

OVERALL RATING: 6 (me), 7 (stepfather), and 6 (mother)
(1= lowest, 10= highest)



CONTENTS

Quality of Meat: 6-7
They give you lots of chicken meat. It was moist. You have the option of boiled or grilled chicken. I always choose boiled chicken. It's juicier than grilled.

Quality of Beans: 4-6
Average. My stepfather noted "good beans."

Quality of Rice: 4-6
Average.

Quality of Salsa: 3-4
They give you 2 containers of salsa: pico de gallo and the green guacamole sauce.

Note: None

EXTRAS
Free chips? Yes
Free salsa? Yes

FINAL THOUGHTS
Not bad. We liked the abundance of meat. My stepfather noted that it had "nice flavor." However, it was lacking in the rice, beans, and salsa areas.
