El Farolito

El Farolito is a beloved Mission District taqueria located at 2779 Mission St in San Francisco, part of a 10-location Bay Area institution. The spot is famous for its super burritos, tacos, and quesadillas, all served in generous portions that regulars have sworn by for decades. The salsa bar is a crowd favorite, and the al pastor and carnitas super burritos draw devoted fans who return every visit. The casual, no-frills atmosphere suits a quick solo meal as well as a late-night stop, with the kitchen open until nearly 2am on weekdays and even later on weekends. Vegetarian options are available, and there is an ATM on-site for the cash-only policy.
