Don Chuy's Mexi-Mercado serves a near-flawless burrito - Review - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"One of the best burritos in the city is found in the back of an Excelsior corner store. Don Chuy’s Mexi-Mercado has been performing carnitas miracles since the 70s—the mix of tender shredded pork and shatteringly crispy edges will ruin any other slow-cooked swine. Get it packed into a super burrito the size of a tennis ball can, which comes with pickled jalapeños and carrots for extra crunch. For something less filling, the tacos also hold their own. Other dishes like tamales, tortas, and nachos are all available to go, too. photo credit: Monica Lo photo credit: Monica Lo photo credit: Monica Lo photo credit: Monica Lo Pause Unmute Food Rundown Super Burrito A stunning specimen of a burrito. Go super, spicy, with everything. There’s nothing better. photo credit: Monica Lo Tacos If you’re not in the mood for a forearm-length burrito, tacos are a great second choice. As you’ve probably gathered by now, you should get them with the carnitas, but the chile verde and al pastor are solid, too. photo credit: Monica Lo Tamales Skippable and a bit dry. Save room for the rest of the menu." - Julia Chen
