El Castillito

"On the best of days, a burrito from El Castillito is a melty cannon of beans, rice, cheese, and crispy al pastor that can satisfy your meat-filled tortilla craving around Duboce Park. And eating one on a sunny day is truly a love affair. Unfortunately, they can also be disappointingly greasy on bad days, making this a tough sell unless you’re in the area and you can’t wait to satisfy your burrito fix." - ricky rodriguez, julia chen 1, lani conway

"We’re going to say it, El Castillito has our favorite burrito in San Francisco. The tortilla is magic, the cheese inside is melty, and the meat (especially the al pastor) is close to perfection. If you’re looking for a Mission burrito, this is the place." - taylor abrams, jess basser sanders, will kamensky

"Less famous than the Mission’s Taqueria El Castellito (whose burritos have gotten well-deserved kudos), the now-unrelated Church Street location boasts excellent carnitas and, even more notably, one of the best breakfast burritos in the city — a rice and potato-free version filled with a juicy, exceptionally flavorful egg and chorizo scramble." - Paolo Bicchieri, Eater Staff

"Home to “the best burrito in America,” at least according to chef David Chang, the original El Castillito is on Mission — but the location on Church is owned by the same family, and within walking distance of the Castro. This taqueria is rolling classic Mission-style burritos, pumped with just the right balance of salty meat, rice, and beans. As an added bonus, it’s also home to one of the city’s tastiest breakfast burritos." - Becky Duffett

"While we love heading to Zona Rosa for tacos, we always come back to our long-running favorite, El Castillito, for burritos. That's because the taqueria is one of the best burrito spots in the city, and their version with cheese melted onto the tortillas and well-spiced carnitas is what keeps us coming back. Eat your burrito over at Duboce Park, or chill inside with an agua fresca." - lani conway, julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez
