La Corneta Taqueria in Glen Park serves up hefty, fresh, and customizable burritos, charming locals with its cash-only charm and vibrant flavors.
"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

"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, Paolo Bicchieri, Eater Staff

"Most Mexican restaurants in San Francisco would make the cut if it were just a question of adding a ramekin or two of salsa. But La Corneta keeps the heat coming all day long with its spicy chicken, prawns, and enchilada combination plate ($18) and spicy prawns plate ($15)." - Paolo Bicchieri
