Best Mission Burrito
in San Francisco
Developed in the 1960s in the Mission District, the Mission Burrito is a structural marvel. It is distinguished by its massive size, steamed flour tortilla, and the inclusion of rice, beans, meat, and salsa—all tightly wrapped in aluminum foil to maintain heat and integrity. The defining characteristic is the **'Super'** upgrade—adding cheese, sour cream, and avocado/guacamole, which turns the burrito into a heavy, decadent meal. Purists debate the inclusion of rice, but the Mission style is defined by its abundance. The trap is a "cold center" where the ingredients haven't been properly layered or steamed, or a tortilla that tears under the weight. Expect to pay $12–18.
