La Taquería
San Francisco, California
It's certainly not modest — the neon sign hanging inside boasts of the best tacos and burritos "in the whole world" — but when you're cranking out food as consistently tasty as La Taquería, you don't have to be. This casual Mission joint offers affordable burritos and tacos, and not much else, but with filling choices that include fantastic carne asada, carnitas, chorizo, chicken, cabeza, and lengua, you don't need much more, other than the queso, chips and salsa, aquas frescas, and cervezas that round out the menu.
