Panzón - Review - Soma - San Francisco - The Infatuation
"While the burritos at Panzón in SoMa don't quite stand up to the many other fantastic ones in SF, they are a solid option in a neighborhood that’s largely burrito-less. Theirs are filled to each tortilla’s capacity limit, but the meats and other fillings aren’t as flavorful as those of the city’s institutions. That said, this Mexican restaurant has figured out the best way to cater to the neighborhood’s tech-working crowd. The narrow dining room is flanked by a long bar where staff members are constantly taking orders, wrapping burritos, and pressing quesadillas. This ensures that every order is packed and ready to take back to your desk in minutes. If you have some time to spare before your next meeting, there are a handful of four-top tables inside, otherwise, there’s plenty of public outdoor seating nearby. Food Rundown Burritos Burritos make up a bulk of the menu—they’re decent and will keep you full until you clock out for the day. We suggest going for The Panzón that comes with rice, beans, lettuce, cheese, guacamole, sour cream, and a signature slightly tangy sauce. Always go for the chicken—the other meat options like the carnitas are underseasoned and a little tough. While chips and salsa are technically a few extra dollars, waitstaff will usually throw in a bag or two for free. photo credit: Patrick Wong Quesadilla A bit imbalanced. Despite a generous amount of whatever protein you choose, it all gets lost in an overflow of cheese. It gets the job done, but we’d get the burrito over this. photo credit: Patrick Wong" - Patrick Wong
