Quesadilla was nice. I like them more cheesy though. Carnita taco filling was good but the tortilla wasn't so great. Big portions, fun vibe. Took a long time to order. Also a bit of a sketchy neighborhood at night.

Really great authentic burrito experience! Grab a burrito to go and walk around the streets of Mission or head over to Delores Park to relax. Remember this is cash only! So make sure you have some notes, my carne asada burrito cost $9.95 plus tax. This area is quite lively and some people may feel unsafe around here, but if you go with a small group & stay out of the way of locals you will be fine.

CASH ONLY! While in SF we had to get a mission burrito from the mission district! They are cash only. We each got the carnitas supreme burrito with rice, beans, sour cream and guacamole. Limited seating inside but we were able to secure a seat. We waited about 5 min for our meals to be cooked. The burritos were massive and lasted me about 3 meals. I think it even tasted better left over! Great place to come.

Burrito stuffed with goodness! The meat was hella good, and the balance between meat and everything else was legit. Not a very long line or wait, but for a burrito on Mission, I recommend this joint. There are only a few places like this that are worth the drive from San Jose, and it’s always a tasty treat. Orale!

One of the famous California-style burrito places in the Mission. Often a line, but worth it! Very cheap & great deal by Bay Area standards - you can get a large, tasty deluxe burrito for ~$12. Order at the counter, wait for your number to be called. Indoor and outdoor seating. CASH ONLY.
