This may look like a grungy spot from the outside, but wait until you sample the flavors that Taqueria La Cumbre has to offer! You've got all your classic meat options, but a bunch of vegan options as well. La Cumbre claims to be the "Birthplace of the Mission Burrito," and though I'm not sure how valid that statement is, their burritos are definitely good! The "deluxe" comes with rice, beans, salsa, melted cheese (quesadilla style), guacamole, and sour cream, and I ordered one with chicken in salsa, which was tender and moist. Every bite was simply enveloped with layers of flavor--ooey, gooey, salty, sweet, and sour! We also got the garlic butter shrimp taco salad, a bright mixture of lettuce topped with sour cream, guacamole, tomatoes, jicama, cucumbers, and more. Everything was dressed nicely and was served in a flaky, crispy taco bowl!
Oh, did I mention the salsa bar? You can help yourself to all manners of pickled veggies, cilantro, onion, corn, and freshly-made salsas, including a unique tropical pineapple salsa. This place can get popular during meal times, and for good reason, given the value you get for the menu prices--my only gripe is that on my visit, they actually didn't have available a few items I wanted to order, but what we did get was simply delicious!
