"Perhaps the city’s most famous burrito spot, in operation since 1973 and consistently drawing long lines that many say are worth the wait. The traditional approach (notably omitting rice) produces a juicy, flavorful butt end and highlights the meat and beans—carne asada here has a backyard-barbecue, open-flame taste. Expect classic textures and flavors in a tightly wrapped Mission-style burrito; the carne asada with pinto beans, cheese, and avocado is the archetypal order." - ByOzi Magaña, as told to Kate Kassin
