And some days you just want a Mission burrito:

(from El Toro)

My favorite mission taquerias are:

  • La Taqueria for deluxe tacos (a pair of chicken tacos with cheese and avocado added on– even at almost $5/taco it’s worth it)
  • Taqueria Vallarta for basic street tacos – meat, onions, cilantro, with pickled jalapenos on the side
  • La Corneta for shrimp or shrimp-and-steak burritos
  • Taqueria Cancun (either one) for the best combination of coarse yellow corn chips and fiery-delicious green salsa
  • El Toro for a basic veggie or meat mission burrito
