Hearty burritos & more with carne asada, prawns, and fresh salsas
"La Corneta’s burritos are for those who love the heaps of shredded iceberg lettuce that test the capacity limits of tortillas. But there's more to them than that. Unlike many of the other spots on this list, their burritos are still made to order in an assembly line with someone guiding you down the table of fillings allowing for easy customization. The creamy refried beans with the smoky carne asada that hits your nostrils as soon as you walk in are our favorites. Top whatever you get off with pickled red onions and the extremely spicy habanero salsa (a rarity in this city). These bad boys are juicy, messy, and hefty. They have four locations around the Bay Area (including one in the Mission), but the one in Glen Park is the best. " - ricky rodriguez, julia chen 1, lani conway

"San Francisco’s burrito scene is incredibly stacked, and fans love to argue over which taqueria does the Mission burrito best. Taqueria Cancun might be the dark horse candidate for the prize, but the most famous is likely La Taq. This spot’s Mission burrito should be stuffed with carnitas, served with the perfect liquidy ratio of beans and salsa (but no rice) in a warm tortilla. There’s a reason this won America’s Best Burrito." - Lauren Saria
"Since 1995, the Campos family has been slinging some of the city’s freshest burritos from this storefront in Glen Park Village, a business so successful that its since expanded with locations on Mission Street (between 23rd and 24th Streets), Burlingame, and San Carlos. La Corneta was one of the first classic-style taquerias in the city to highlight which of its menu items are completely free of animal products, making it a favorite for vegetarians wary of co-mingling with meat." - Lauren Saria
