goddamn burritos

Every time I tell someone I’m from San Francisco, they say something about the burritos. And 9 times out of 10, they’re apologizing for their city’s lack of good Mexican food. But here’s the thing: Burritos (as we Americans know them) are not real Mexican food. And most burritos are basically rice bowls dumped into a tortilla. This is okay when it’s 2am and the bars just closed and you’re hungry as shit, or when you’re too hungover to do more than stumble to the nearest taco truck. In that situation, most people would direct you to Taqueria Cancun on Mission and 16th. But every time I go in there, it smells like chlorine and just looking at the bathroom makes me want to shoot up.
However, since I’m not as gung-ho about burritos as most people assume San Franciscans are (hint: we’re not) you should visit these websites if you want a better informed opinion:

I highly recommend El Tonayese Taco Trucks along Harrison and Shotwell. Get the tacos al pastor. You’re a vegetarian? Haha sucks for you.
