The 25 Best Restaurants In SF - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"There are as many taquerias in town as there are four-way stops. So no surprise—everyone has an opinion on which one is the reigning champion. Our official decree: Taqueria El Farolito. The Mission spot is an institution of flawlessly seasoned meats, which you’ll smell sizzling away on the plancha before you even walk through the door (or more realistically, get into the line that always stretches down the sidewalk). Their charred-to-perfection carne asada is one reason we give when trying to convince friends to move to the city, with the nice and crispy al pastor a close second. A visit here is never complete without getting either a super burrito approximately the size of a newborn baby, or a quesadilla suiza with enough cheese to single-handedly keep Lactaid in business." - julia chen 1, lani conway, patrick wong, ricky rodriguez
