El Farolito

Pin It Now!

San Francisco is best known for their "Mission-style" burritos.  My absolute favorite and my personal definition of a true Mission burrito is at El Farolito.  Another great thing about this place is that they open till 4a on the weekends.  The two best (and most popular) things to eat in the Mission after the bars are the bacon wrapped hot dogs and El Farolito.

Carne Asada Burrito - #72 on 2012 7x7 SF's Top 100 Eats

The carne asada burrito here is my favorite item on the menu.  There are two "types" - regular and super. Super includes avocado and sour cream.  The best thing about El Farolito is the avocado.  Huge chunks of freshly scooped avocado instead of mushy (probably brown) guacamole.  Everytime I eat a burrito here I wonder, how is that they have the best avocados here all year 'round?
