San Francisco, and the Mission in particular, is filled with taquerias. So many, in fact, that it can be pretty overwhelming to decide where to get a precious foil-wrapped meal on any given day. But El Farolito stands out from the rest—and they've done so since 1983. It’s the undisputed champion of the town-wide taqueria show, all thanks to their tender, well-spiced carne asada, carnitas, and al pastor. That, plus the fact that their super burritos are flawless, consistent, and delicious, whether you eat one after a night out around Valencia Street or for lunch on a random Wednesday. Each is approximately the size of a newborn baby, and stuffed with that flavorful meat and the ideal ratios of sour cream, guacamole, and cheese. It’s virtually impossible to go wrong at this cash-only spot. And while a super burrito is our go-to, another foolproof order is their stunner of a quesadilla, which is a messy, glorious experience in itself. Or if you really want to be methodical about it, try one of each meat in taco form. For research.
