Taqueria San Francisco
Neighborhood: Mission District, San Francisco
Address: 2794 24th St, San Francisco, CA 94110
Taqueria San Francisco sits on a colorful corner at 24th and York, rocking big mural energy on the outside and a refreshingly chill vibe on the inside. I went mid-afternoon on a weekday and it was quiet—like “are you guys open yet?” quiet (I almost asked). No line, no rush, no chaos. The burrito came out fast, the grill was humming, and no one was in a hurry to impress anyone. This is a true neighborhood burrito spot—and a really pleasant one at that.
What We Ordered (and What to Order)
I asked what the move was and got a confident answer: the carne asada burrito. No hemming. No “depends what you like.” Just that. Trust it.
The Burrito Bible Score
Carne Asada Burrito — 7.6/10
Meat: 8.5/10
Salsa: 7.0/10
Fillings: 7.3/10
Tortilla: 7.2/10
Balance: 7.5/10
Misc: 7.2/10
The carne asada is the headline here—salty, charred, limey, and genuinely some of the better meat in the city, especially when it comes out piping hot like it did here. If you’re meat-first kind of person, this burrito is absolutely your speed. The fillings are solid and well-behaved, letting the meat lead, while the tortilla is perfectly serviceable without doing anything flashy. Salsa is pretty decent, with a smooth avocado option and a tangy, almost pickle-like salsa that’s more interesting than memorable. Structurally, the burrito holds together cleanly with no dead zones or mid-meal betrayals, and overall the balance is exactly what you want from a no-stress Mission burrito.
Smart Moves Here
Order the carne asada and don’t overthink it.
Bring cash—it’s cash only.
Try both salsas; the tangy one is sneaky fun.
Great option when you want a fast, low-stress burrito without fighting a line.
Bottom Line
Taqueria San Francisco is for people who care more about what’s inside the burrito than the scene around it. It’s fast, calm, and meat-forward, anchored by genuinely excellent carne asada. Order the carne asada burrito, enjoy the lack of chaos, and quietly add this to your regular Mission rotation. You’ll be back.
