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.

People rave about this place so I had to try a burrito. I went with two friends on May 18, 2010.

OVERALL RATING: 5 (1= lowest, 10= highest)



CONTENTS

Quality of Meat: 5
The chicken (with a red chile rub) was very dry.

Quality of Beans: 5
Average.

Quality of Rice: 4
Average.

The accompanying salsa is its saving grace. The salsa is very spicy and good. All of us commented on it.

Note: The burrito comes with a salad of jicama cubes and radishes.

EXTRAS
Free chips? Yes
Free salsa? Yes

FINAL THOUGHTS
I was so disappointed! The burrito was average. Chicken shouldn't be dry. Thank goodness for the salsa.
