Jonathan Kauffman

"The wrap: Tight. The first bite: flavorful rice, good beans, cheese already melted onto the bottom of the wrapper. There wasn't a bland spot in La Cumbre's burrito."

Dan Rosenbaum

"Best Burritos in San Francisco: Taqueria La Cumbre - La Cumbre is the birthplace of the "Mission-Style" burrito, so says their website, and we are not ones to argue with the internet."

"They claim to have invented the Mission-style burrito, which is both lofty and difficult to prove, but their carne asada burrito is so inexplicably f*****-up tasty that you have to humor them. Smother it in avocado salsa and you just might believe the tale."

"As a family, one of our favorite local burrito spots to visit is Taqueria La Cumbre. I always get the grilled chicken burrito -- with no frills, sauce, or cream."

Joe Starkey

"Open 'til 2:30am for all of your post-bar cravings, Taqueria La Cumbre breaks the top-four with a grilled-just-right chicken burrito that's just as good at 2:30am as it is as 2:20am."
