Mexican Restaurants in and near San Francisco, CA

Even if they didn’t invent the burrito, San Francisco Mexican restaurants certainly perfected it. In fact, the burrito that so many people across the country know today was born in the city’s Mission District, where taquerias such as Cancún and El Farolito decided that adding a ton of rice and a foil wrapper to hold everything together was a good idea (it was definitely a good idea). Today, the Mission continues to harbor some of the best restaurants in San Francisco, but it’s got some competition. San Francisco tours focused on finding the city’s best burritos, tacos, and tamales will likely take you from the Outer Sunset to the Financial District.
