The Mission District is SF's taco heartland, home to the Mission-style burrito and generations of Mexican families. From $3 street tacos to chef-driven taquitos, SF delivers.
Mission District Legends
La Taqueria
Cash only, line out the door. The carne asada taco is legendary. No rice in their burritos.
El Farolito
24th Street institution. Super burritos and late-night crowd. Cash only.
Taqueria Cancun
Another 24th Street essential. Orange-tinted al pastor is the move.
Tacos Beyond Mission
Tacos El Patron
Late-night SoMa option. Food truck quality in a brick-and-mortar.
Cholita Linda
Cross the bridge for Peruvian-Mexican fusion tacos.
Nopalito
Upscale but authentic. Great tortillas made in-house daily.
Modern & Upscale
Californios
Two Michelin stars. Alta California cuisine at its finest. Not strictly tacos, but essential.
Tacolicious
Modern Mexican with excellent cocktails. Great for groups.
Loló
Jalisco-inspired with creative cocktails. Refined but festive.
