Super carne asada burrito baby! If you get it to go, make sure to crack the foil a little bit to let some of the moisture escape. Just say no to soggy burritos .

Russell Allen Esmus

Order 1 super taco (pollo or carne) & 1 regular taco (chorizo ). The super quesadilla (carnitas or carne) is really tasty too. When they give you chips and salsa ask for an extra green salsa . Trust me.

Peter

This place IS nice. had a super burrito (beef ). price was OK for SF (7.99+tax) and the taste was great too. The homemade(!?) burrito had this crunchy & smoky taste. Finished the whole thing!

My speederbike is a huge fan of this place. Best burrito fuel stop in the San Francisco system. FYI, bike’s called the Orange October. Actually got a tip on the missing R2 unit. Fancy that!

All the super burrito combos at this unassuming, bright storefront have amazing sour cream , rice , and avocado interplay that sets the stage for the meat of your choice. Read more

Steve Androulakis

This burrito is amazing. Whether it's chicken or beef , the super burrito is A masterful combo of meat, avocado and rice . The beans were a bit watery for my liking though. Awesome free chips/salsa

Austin Gardner

This is the BEST mission-style burrito in the world. I go here every time I'm in town to order the Carne Asada Super Burrito and it never disappoints. They also now accept credit cards too!

SFist

Cancun's super burrito is, if we had to pick, the one people seem to talk about the most when they're mooning over the iconic Mission burrito . This is where you take guests to eat like a local. Read more

It’s been voted “best burrito ” by SF Weekly 10 years running, but this hole-in-the-wall Mexicali joint offers so much more. Namely an Animal House vibe and horchata in vat-sized cups. Read more

Roy Scopazzi

The greatest taqueria in SF, maybe even in California. Get the Al Pastor burrito and a horchata and your whole world will change in an instant. Or hell, any burrito there. Your head will explode.

Luke Bornheimer

Vegetarian burrito is super delicious and, for it's size, is a great deal ($5.50+tax with chips and salsa ). A meat-eater would likely be satisfied with the burrito despite its lack of animal goodness.

Meredith R.

By far the best Mexican food I've ever had! Everything is delicious, and I got so much food for $6. Definitely worth the trip to the Mission District! :D

Men's Health Mag

Their crispy deep-fried tostadas arrive topped with a heaping helping of citrus-tinged ceviche . And the Burrito Mojada (“The Big One”) is the size of your forearm. Read more

Dena Goldberg

This is literally the best Mexican I've ever had. Everything is delicious! The quesadillas were perfectly filling, not too small of a portion. also open late so you can go on a late night food run!

Christian Niles

Vegetarian burrito is the best in the mission, as long as they components are evenly distributed.

Anna James

Super prawn burrito is delicious with all those fresh prawns . Two people can easily share one and if you still want to try something go for the beef quesadilla .

Daniel Hayes

Super burrito is the way to go for a helmet-sized serving. I love spicy foods , but be careful, their sauces are *muy* caliente. I strongly advise against ordering your burrito extra spicy .

JK Grence

Get an al pastor super burrito to go, crack it open a little so it doesn’t get soggy, zip up 19th Street to Mission Dolores Park , and savor the rhythm of the city .

Men's Health Mag

Come during a weekend night to experience The Can in all its glory. It’s loud . It’s packed. You can practically smell the booze cocktail wafting from the hoards of hungry patrons waiting in line Read more

Marco Martinez

The Super Prawn burrito is phenomenal. They sear the prawns before they put them into the burrito which infuses the entire burrito with a nice smokey flavor .

J John

Best salsa verde in SF. All the meats are fresh and delicious; the shrimp quesadilla is highly recommended. A+++

Damian Bayona

Super steak taco is amazing but why settle for just a taco when you could have a giant delicious burrito with rice and beans as well ??

naveen

a burrito is the way to go (dry or wet). however, that giant mojado might be a bit large, no matter how hungry you are when you show up.

Jana Beranova

Super tacos was yummy. These guys are surprisingly nice and able to speak in english. Small basket with nachos for free. :)

Alice M

Carnitas super tacos were a freaking revelation... Dare I say... even better than their burritos ?? ????

Pam ☕️ O

Tacos de lengua with double tortillas are legit. Savor the spicy side of guac you get with your order because it's gone before you know it!

Rafi Syed

The burritos (dry, not wet) are first rate. If you're with a friend, do a splitty on an Al Pastor burrito and the Alambres (which come with tortillas to make mini-tacos).

Mai Le

Best salsa verde in the Mission. Sub it on a super carnitas taco and say you only want it with your chips and you'll get 2 servings.

A S

Got one super taco with steak , and one super taco with grilled chicken . Both were "on point," in the immortal words of the inimitable Guy Fieri

Pedro Couto e Santos

Great vibe, lots of people and delicious food. I loved it.

G

Veggie taco with black beans & no sour cream is the best order you can possibly get!! Do it & you won't regret it. & don't forget to add some of the amazing green salsa to it :d

Dallas Kwok

This is where you get a proper Mission Burrito . massive proportions, fresh ingredients .

Daniel Bowen

The super burrito is the best burrito ever. With carne asada , it is to die for!

Darren Riesz

Make sure the lingering homeless people don't steal your amazing burrito if you get up for a sec. Happened to some guy just now!

Baturay Akaslan

Carnitas , chorizo , carne asada are all good, easily the best taqueria option around 18th and mission.

Marc Michaels

Grilled chicken super burrito ftw. Sooo good and cheap too. They use fresh ingredients , are fast even though they get busy, and the prices are great

Christopher

Veggie burrito is the best! Amazing fresh salsa and authentic Mexican food .

Amy Chen

Cash only massive burritos . Definitely stop by and pick up their super burrito with the works.

Jimmy Hooker

Enormous, delicious burritos , the carnitas is my favorite. Their verde salsa is also very competitive.

Jordan Fine

I think I enjoy the burrito more than then Farolito, purely for the amount of cilantro they put in my burrito . Thanks for the cilantro ????

Jessica Martinez

Asada & carnitas tacos . Salsa has great flavor, but spicy - beware. Complimentary chips/salsa.

Roy Scopazzi

One of the best Mexican places in the city if not the state . You owe it to yourself to go here.

Chuck Roslof

Currently under renovations (but hopefully reopening soon), this is my favorite spot for classic Mission-style burritos .

Lea Dessi-Olive

One of the best taquerias I've tried, always busy at night. They don't mark gluten free items

Kyle Olivo

Tacos . Simple, tasty, delicious. Get something to calm your mouth if you get a spicy option.

Brodie Olmstead

Best burrito in the city . Can't go wrong with the super pollo burrito . Ask for extra salsa .

Stephen Sanders

Everything comes together magically in their burrito . It's not just the best burrito in San Francisco, it's the best I've ever had.

Nate Beatty

Get anything. They'll probably screw up your order, but it's fine. In fact it's part of the experience and the food is sure to fulfill your burrito craving.

heidi harman

Oh bliss for the cancun burritos and Tacos ! Don't leave SF without them.

Denise F

Really huge dishes, share with your friend if you're not used to big sizes. It was OK flavor. Really cheap . Good for quick lunch !
