Ask a San Franciscan where to settle the great burrito debate and many will send you here, to a Mission counter that has been at it for over five decades. La Taqueria makes its burritos rice-free, focusing on well-seasoned meat wrapped in a tortilla that’s briefly crisped on the griddle. Order the ‘dorado’ style with cheese so the tortilla gets golden, and know it earned a James Beard America’s Classics nod for good reason.
