Mission Burrito
Recommended by Lonely Planet and 13 other food critics.
"SF's definitive burrito has no debatable saffron rice, spinach tortilla or mango salsa – just perfectly grilled meats, slow-cooked beans and classic tomatillo or mesquite salsa wrapped in a flour tortilla."

Mission-Style Tacos
Recommended by Jay Barmann and 7 other food critics.
"The quintessential Mission taco can be had at this place, and unlike some of its truck-based counterparts, one taco here is a meal in itself. They come stuffed with pinto beans, cheese, and plenty of meat, wrapped cone-style in a hefty tortilla."

"What to order? The answer? You can't lose. La Taqueria has meant quality and consistency for decades. You get the lengua. Order extras. Cheese and sour cream. The tortillas are warm, the meat packed in - no skimping. It's soft and melts away. Minced onion and small chopped tomato, cilantro, salsa."

"Nothing compares to La Taq's carnitas burrito, so meaty it makes the beans taste like they were cooked in pork stock."
"Most people agree you can’t go wrong with our favorite—La Taqueria, where the behemoth foil-wrapped bombs are filled with beans, cheese, salsa and meats ranging from carne and pollo asada to carnitas (but no rice)."
"The fresh avocado option, essential here at La Taqueria in San Francisco’s Mission District, unifies everything in a buttery medium where the line between flavor and texture is indistinct, irrelevant."
"At La Taqueria in SF order as the locals do - the Carne Asada Tacos Dorados. The customers created this taco, according to owner Miguel Jara, who grills a tortilla until golden to deliver the crunch that diners desired."
"It’s everything you look for in Tex-Mex cuisine all in one perfect bite, and it’s nothing short of the best burrito in America."
“Definitely the winning ratio is its liquid ratio, which is high. It’s not about the addition or subtraction of rice. All the ingredients are juicy and I think that makes the difference.”

"Order one sans-frijoles and you'll soon find out why: they fill the bean space with more meat, and it's the delectable meats that keep people coming to this Mission institution."

"Best carne asada I've ever had. Succulent beef, perfectly marinated. Must I say more?"
