Taq. El Toro

platialUser:burritoeater — 2006-08-27 09:22:49.771588+00:00

Anyone who has grown weary of Taq. Pancho Villa’s less-than-cozy dimensions and constant throng may wish to visit this humbler, more navigable alternative a few blocks away. The Bull shares management and a similar counter procedure with its nearby cousin, and its menu and staff uniforms resemble those in Mr. Villa’s Neighborhood. Also, given the sky-high prices here, low-interest federal loans are now available for qualified low-to-middle-income customers. Credit cards accepted.

Taq. El Farolito

platialUser:burritoeater — 2006-09-26 23:27:34.915922+00:00

We prefer this El Farolito location over other Mission cred hotspots (Pancho Villa, Can-cún, La Taqueria, etc. etc.), but don’t take that as an unequivocal endorsement. The narrow aisle here can make taking/keeping your place in line more tense than it really needs to be, and things can get colorful when all the neighborhood gangstas roll through to get their late-night slab on. But it’s entertaining to watch the cooks fiddle with the griddle in the big front window, and you’re a buffoon if you don’t try their cantaloupe agua fresca. Breakfast available. Open real late.

Breakfast available. Open real late.

platialUser:burritoeater — 2006-09-29 16:37:56.029297+00:00

Taq. Los Coyotes extended operations uptown from their initial Mission Terrace offering by moving into this former El Pollo Supremo shop in late 2004. It’s a sizable room, shiny and clean. And sesos is on the menu. Beware of well-meaning, yet sloth-like service, however.

La Corneta Taq.

platialUser:burritoeater — 2006-10-05 15:24:50.065494+00:00

In a neighborhood of plus-sized megataquerias, La Corneta may be the most ultramega of all. But it’s a classy kind of ultramega. Tiled floors, towering archways, and vaulted ceilings lend an air of Latin American elegance. Best of all, there’s none of that self-congratulatory, neon baloney you get down the street at La Taqueria. Visit their home on the Web.

We came here after we met up at the apple store. Quince, Quince, what are you? Everything Good Between Men and Women has been written in mud and butter and barbecue sauce. The walls and the floors used to be gorgeous. The socks off-white and a near match. The quince with fireblight but we get two pints of jelly in the end. Long walks strengthen the back. You with a fever blister and myself with a sty. Eyes have we and we are forever prey to one another’s teeth. The torrents go over us. Thunder has not harmed anyone we know. The river coursing through us is dirty and deep. The left hand protects the rhythm. Watch your head. No fires should be unattended. Especially when wind. Each receives a free swiss army knife. The first few tongues are clearly preparatory. The impression made by yours I carry to my grave. It is just so sad so creepy so beautiful. Bless it. We have so little time to learn, so much. . . . The river courses dirty and deep. Cover the lettuce. Call it a night. O soul. Flow on. Instead. Fire blight is destructive to apples and quince and is the most serious pear disease in the eastern United States. Caused by the bacterium Erwinia amylovora, the disease can attack some 75 species of plants of the rose family. Fire blight also occurs frequently on pyracantha, spirea, hawthorn, and mountain ash. In fruit trees, the disease can kill blossoms, fruit, shoots, limbs, and tree trunks. Certain varieties of apples are more susceptible than others. Susceptible varieties include Jonathan, Rome, Yellow Transparent, and Idared.

lots of fresh and delicious deli and full meal selections, daily specials, slight predominance of middle-eastern dishes, early breakfast through late lunch but unfortunately only m-f (closed on weekends). the kicker is there's a virtually secret back patio, huge, lots of fruit trees, beautiful and serene, perfect for a tryst OR large group gathering.

Porcelynne

platialUser:wendolyne — 2006-09-03 05:05:13.076015+00:00

Jennifer works her magic! __________________ I saw some of Jennifer Lynne's pieces at a recent Luggage Store trunk show and was excited to visit her Mission store. What a fun collection! From the sassy green frock featured in the center of the store (photo at right) to autumn-hued trousers and delicately designed tanks (also shown at right),and bouncing over to the bouyant wine bottle cork halter top, Jennifer has a delightful way of redefining everyday fashion sense. My visit found Jennifer busily at work creating a surplice wrap sweater dress. If you catch her at a slow time, she'll tailor her designs for you on the spot! Porcelynne opened in February of 2006 and Jennifer, who attended the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York and gave up the business for a couple years before committing to her design work, has recently left her day job to focus on her creations full-time. If you are in the mood for a wardrobe update and want to support a local designer while looking different-than-most, here's your place. Porcelynne also features the work of many local designers including Amy M. Cool's highly touchable recycled fabric handbags and jewelry by 19 Moons and Tessa Poppe. I'm going to have to go back for the earrings created with Lite-Brites (photo at right). The most intriguing of Porcelynne's offerings is the "Panty-A-Month" club. You'll get a new pair of stinkies designed by Jennifer every month--imagine how fun it could be to get this monthly offering from a lover in the subsequent months after breaking up--the turmoil the poor chump would go through knowing that you'll be wearing the panties he bought you--he bought YOU--with your new lover. Oh, the possibilities! Art work in the gallery rotates; the current show features work created on heat-sensitive fax paper with a soldering iron (shown at right). Check out Porcelynne's website for gallery show information.

Tacos El Tonayense

platialUser:burritoeater — 2006-08-28 16:27:33.328655+00:00

Prior to Tonayense Properties erecting some pear/tangerine-colored lofts on their lot at Harrison and 22nd in the early/mid-oughts, their popular burrito wagon was the sole occupant of the space. They’ve since kicked the truck to the Harrison curb – it’s tough to contest the property value of living quarters in San Francisco versus that of a carnitas taco – but the devastating quality of their burritos perseveres, despite this particular truck’s bizarre, ongoing embargo on refried beans. Outdoor dining often available from neighboring restaurant Mis Antojitos. Take-out only.

Tonayense Taq.

platialUser:burritoeater — 2006-08-27 09:41:11.648537+00:00

Tonayense finally ditched the ghastly, straight-from-the-aviary awning over their entrance, and they got rid of the definite article from their name as well. Sadly, the “Delicious” button on their burrito-maker got broken during the overhaul, and they haven’t prioritized getting it fixed. It’s a disappointing shame for a place whose super carne asada was once touted as the "Achilles Last Stand" of its class. Their brown-and-yellow dining booths still rule, though. Open late.

El Tepa Taq.

platialUser:burritoeater — 2006-08-27 09:52:06.808283+00:00

There’s an unacknowledged connection at El Tepa to fellow Mission taquerias Pancho Villa and El Toro – it’s in the eerily similar menus, virtually identical food server uniforms, and the same spotless level of cleanliness. (Only unlike Pancho Villa, there’s no security guard / doorperson on hand here.) So what sets El Tepa apart? Clearly, it’s the award certificate – framed and proudly displayed on its west wall – signifying El Tepa’s similarly named forebearer as having the “best tacos and burritos,” according to a 1977 Evening Magazine viewer poll. Ask for a foil wrap. Breakfast available. Closed Saturday evenings and Sundays.

La Taqueria

platialUser:burritoeater — 2006-08-27 10:02:04.519855+00:00

Imagine a burrito retailer that a levies a $1.00 surcharge for your food to not include beans. Imagine La Taqueria. No other San Francisco taqueria stirs as much civic controversy. For every Hatfield who swears by this shop’s intermediate-sized burritos, exceptional cheesework, and wholesale aversion to rice, there’s a McCoy bemoaning The Taqueria's neon sign that pompously proclaims theirs the "Best Tacos and Burritos in the Whole World.” The fact that we regularly pitch our tent in the McCoy camp at La Taqueria’s KOA brings us in for an occasional razzing from Burritoeater readers. Minimal outdoor seating available. (p.s. The neon’s half-right: a La Taqueria taco is an indisputable treat.)

A colorful, tri-walled mural depicting major events on Mexico’s path to independence greets you as you enter; hopefully, one of the inebriates from Carlo’s Club next door doesn’t greet you as you exit. Prices on their overhead menu include sales tax. Breakfast available. Open real late.

San Vicente

platialUser:burritoeater — 2006-08-27 10:36:26.722867+00:00

San Vicente’s unceremonious facade stands in sharp contrast to its vaunted, multi-arched neighbor, La Taqueria. New management took over in 2005 and brightened the Great Society-era décor left behind by former occupant Elsy’s, but the humble place still feels like it belongs in Watsonville or Visalia – in a good, real-deal kind of way. Spanish-speakers stand a better chance of getting table service here, but it’s no slight if you order at the counter. Breakfast and Salvadorian food items available. Closed Sundays.

Taq. San Francisco

platialUser:burritoeater — 2006-08-27 10:47:31.444364+00:00

Though situated on the occasionally treacherous east end of 24th St., there’s a secure feeling inside Taq. San Francisco that’s a byproduct of not only the friendly guys who run it, but also of the belching tuba-pop oozing from the jukebox and, most obviously, their top-shelf burritos. This is a place that once put a handwritten note on the wall apologizing for a 25-cent price hike. They also have the honor of producing the highest-rated burrito on (Burritoeater) record – a 9.38-mustache colossus in February 2004. It is no secret that we enjoy their work.

Papalote

platialUser:burritoeater — 2006-08-29 17:26:29.628339+00:00

Papalote’s burritos are rendered with such mechanical consistency, some have wondered if there’s a mustachioed robot assembling them in an unseen corner of their tiny kitchen. Papalote has become a quietly infallible kingpin of the Mission’s vaunted taqueria scene – slightly off the beaten path, humbly sized, family operated, and pretty much a sure thing every time. Pancho Villa may have the security guard and the gymnasium-size dining hall, La Taqueria may have the tacky neon sign proclaiming its burritos the greatest things since sliced sesos, and Taq. Can-cún may have the misguided hipster cred. In our book, Papalote steamhammers them all. Specify a foil wrap, if that’s your game of cards, and check the rotating art exhibits on display. Breakfast available.

Taq. Pancho Villa

platialUser:burritoeater — 2006-09-01 20:44:52.173785+00:00

Taq. Pancho Villa’s brass pulled off another shrewd move in the first days of 2006 by opening this bayfront, instant-hit burrito shop. Its comparatively humble square-footage appears more in line with its San Mateo location than its palatial flagship in the Mission, and there’s no Carlton, Your Doorman / Security Fella standing sentinel at its front entry. But your Pancho Villa familiarity arrives in the form of their unforgettable, all-you-can-scoop salsa bar, the perennial line out the door, and the clangorous meat cleaver guy they shipped over from their 16th St. outlet. Outdoor seating and breakfast available. Credit cards accepted.

Mariachi's

platialUser:burritoeater — 2006-09-05 06:37:08.521792+00:00

Judged by its size alone, Mariachi’s extensive burrito menu is the closest any San Francisco taqueria comes to matching those 20-page tomes found at Los Angeles’ most prominent Jewish delis. And while the nice folks at this colorful, popular burritoteria would surely respond with a “hunh?” if you asked for a hot pastrami sandwich or a cup of matzo ball soup, anyone’s free to order their all-meat burrito, or any one of eight “gourmet vegetarian” choices at the ready. Also on offer: a rice-less burrito option, chicken molé on weekends, and, um, wraps (boo). Management claims that every Mariachi’s meal is a fiesta, and if you’re sharp enough to order their refried beans (our favorite slop in town), perhaps it's piñata-and-Louisville-Slugger time after all.

Taq. La Cumbre

platialUser:burritoeater — 2006-09-29 16:27:50.555479+00:00

The de rigueur choice in the Mission through the mid-’90s, hot and smoky La Cumbre seems to have since been eclipsed on SF’s taqueria cred report by a few other area burritoterias, despite no less an authority than Joey Ramone once hailing La Cumbre’s work-in-foil as “the best burrito on Earth.” (The late punk rock legend would surely be bummed about La Cumbre’s affinity for KOIT soft rock, however. It’s never okay to play Spandau Ballet or Chicago at a taqueria.) Opened in 1967 – and the recipient of a minor interior facelift in early 2005 - this neighborhood perennial is the second-oldest taqueria in town, after El Faro on Folsom. Cheers to the nine meat choices on the menu, the cleanest restaurant restroom in the Mission, and the white-hot image of Adelita, Pancho Villa's fiery mistress, enlivening every tabletop in the place. Jeers to the ranch dressing at the salsa bar.

Muzzled Dogs and Weak Coffee

platialUser:jason — 2006-06-24 22:59:59.28352+00:00

Had a few minutes to kill before brunch, found a cafe with outdoor seating (the weather was absolutely stunning during the entire trip!) to get some morning coffee. There was a cute gentle occasionally barking dog that got muzzled my her owner during our tenure there, the dog could tell we had pity for her, so she stretched her leash over the sidewalk and lay in the sun close enough to our table that the kids could reach down and pet her. The coffee was amazingly disappointing, i think they don't do brewed coffee, so they made us 2 way-too-watery americanos. bummer. The place seemed cool, murals everywhere, and we walked in during a very energetic birthday song being performed by the entire staff (including apron donned cooks).

Now they're further up Valencia, still serving up a decent meal for a fair price--in fact the menu is pretty robust and even tastier these days. I was impressed by the generous girth of my breakfast crepe and would have happily shared halfsies with a friend. Salads, bagels, sandwiches, caffeine, whatever keeps ya going, get it here. ___________ Open Monday through Friday 6:30AM-10PM, Saturday 8AM-10PM, Sunday 8AM-8PM (grill closes at 7PM on Sundays) 415.621.3800

This 24th St. mainstay features a bright orange storefront that proudly advertises barbacoa, a popular sidewalk taco stand where you can indulge in cult favorite variety-meats such as suadero (hip), and a virtually incomprehensible vertical sign. Most notably, Taq. Vallarta is open 16 hours a day during the week and 19 hours every Friday and Saturday, making it the closest thing San Francisco has to an all-day / all-night burritoeatery. Meanwhile, the Street Fighter II machine in the corner beckons your early ‘90s video game nostalgia bug. Breakfast available.

Tacos El Tonayense

platialUser:burritoeater — 2006-08-27 09:36:58.897842+00:00

Popular burrito wagon chain Tacos El Tonayense took this space over from Cuban-leaning La Pachanguera in spring 2006, en route to expanding the number of its drivable Mission holdings to four. And with the nearby elevated freeway, the big-box retailer and its massive adjoining parking lot, and the usually pleasant weather, this is as L.A. as San Francisco is ever bound to feel. Nobody knows better than Tonayense’s enterprising executive team that few activities fuel an American appetite quite like dropping wads of dollars on a 48” plasma television, then subsequently heaving it into the back of an SUV. Take-out only.

Certain menu copies indicate Salsa’s street address as 1198 Meats St., and we’re not kidding. Best of all, their yellow “Grand Opening” banner from 2002 remains fully intact over the doorway. Be sure to request a foil wrap if the increasingly popular Anti-Splat Movement is a key component of your own burrito belief system.

Miranda Caroligne – A Living Construction Boutique

Shhhhh! Miranda at work in her boutique. ________________________ Miranda Caroligne is like a fairy's closet. A good fairy, one who would save Cinderella's neck with a last-minute ballgown, but it would be a ballgown that made a unique statement about wearable waste in addition to making a statement about the wearer. Filled with magical goodies, this store compels visitors to choose a talisman for their next journey and maybe a lucky hand-felted hat for a lover's birthday. In addition to representing Miranda C. Burns' work, Miranda Caroligne offers many area designers' one-of-a-kind pieces, original artwork, and jewelry. If one-of-a-kind neo-archaic creations make you shiver with delight you'd better meditate for a few days before entering. Miranda will design a special piece for and with you; if you're trying to figure out how the hell your mother's beloved wedding dress can be reconstructed to fit into your commitment ceremony you should schedule a visit. I found a most delightful curiousity whilst I was visiting with Miranda and urge you to do the same. Seek out the enchanting creatures therein before they amble away. If you ask nicely you might even get to peep at their accompanying storybooks. "...biomechanical forms that arise from her public studio often compel the wearer to dance, play and behave fantastically." _________________ open 1-7pm tuesday - sunday, 415-355-1900

Although not a taqueria in the strictest sense of the term, La Parrilla certainly feels enough like one. It probably has something to do with the counter (not table) ordering and the four or five burrito options on the menu. But it’s doubtful we’re the only ones who miss former tenant El Pollo Supremo’s mascot, which seemed to accurately portray what Jose Canseco would look like if reincarnated as farm poultry. Breakfast available.

Be sure to take a number when you walk in, and why not indulge in a dessert plantain? Take-out only. Closed evenings.

But we’ll leave it up to you to determine whether these seemingly late-Nixon-era images cast the La Alteña line of fare in a positive or decrepit light. Conveniently located adjacent to several storied booze houses, so it’s a popular spot for famished inebriates. And if you’re in the market for some sturgeon or perhaps a bucket of sesos, simply exit via La Alteña’s back dining area and into indoor Mission Market.

For tourists and San Francisco shoppers with more eclectic and far flung tastes, the Mission is the perfect place to cater to unconventional whims. The Mission a colorful stretch of blocks with offbeat boutiques and funky ethnic clothing and furniture stores. Living up to its catch-all attitude, the Mission offer most anything, but with a funky twist such as mini snakeskin boots for toddlers, white go go boots, velvet hunting hats, and vintage hipster fashion mixed in with discount fabric and bridal stores. However, mixed in with the eccentric is the Mission's predominantly Latino working class which operate authentic bakeries and fresh markets. Standouts include Rayon Vert, the eclectic home and florist shop and Fishbowl, the art and clothing gallery. Eateries add a unique flavor to the Mission with taquerias and fresh produce stands on every corner. What you won't find here are fashionistas wearing the same Gap sweater; the Mission prides itself on its inimitable and colorful style.

It was also voted that the same committee publish 5,000 copies of the Book of Mormon, with an index affixed.
