Editors’ Favorite Burritos in San Francisco - Eater SF

"Being able to customize a breakfast burrito, as you can at Il Canto, is also a godsend. Most places offer only one type, typically either a bacon version or an overly-meaty number, often called a 'meat tornado,' with two or more types of meat folded in. And while in those situations I will usually opt for bacon, what I appreciate about Il Canto is that I can also have my actual favorite: a simple, breakfast sausage burrito. To me, the ratio was just right; you want about one-fourth to one-third of the burrito to be your protein, in relation to the remaining ratio of eggs/vegetables, etc. Whatever protein you pick, expect it to be folded into soft scrambled eggs mixed with bell pepper, green onions, and Sriracha. The whole mix is then enrobed in a mild chipotle sauce that blends into the melted cheese to create a subtly spicy dressing, giving the burrito some zing. It’s an invigorating additional ingredient. To top things off, Il Canto Cafe grills its breakfast burritos. The grill marks give the tortilla some texture, contributing a nice bite to offset the softer, cheesy interior. It also doesn’t hurt that despite the early hour, the Il Canto Cafe crew is cheery every time I visit, ready to make my breakfast burrito and send me on my way." - Lauren Saria
