what I really want to know is the best place to get a san diego burrito in SF. Key differentiators: - no fillers (no rice, no beans; beans acceptable in breakfast burritos) - generous portions of meats - chicken that is finished by grilling on the grill, not ropa-style pulled straight out of a dewey plastic bin - wrap that is toasted - wax paper wrap instead of foil (lets the burrito breathe instead of becoming damp…

Hello, kindred spirit. I grew up in San Diego but have lived in the Bay for almost 30 years. I still can't enjoy a Mission-style burrito. You've articulated the key reasons why. The answer to your question is, you can't get what you're looking for in SF, but if you're willing to drive for nearly an hour, you will find the burrito of your dreams at Adalberto's in Fairfield.

Thank you for recommending Adalberto's! It was a bit of a drive but indeed, it is the closest I’ve found!

Good to see Dos Toros on the list, I know one of the founders. Used to play shows with his band in the Bay Area in the early 2000s!

LOL for the uninitiated: dos toros was started by the (bassist?) of third eye blind. it was modeled after the classic sf taqueria gordo. some of the shops have pictures of gordo on the wall. what band did you play in?

Hah! So the bassist was only a touring bassist for Third Eye Blind after the dissolution of his original band, the criminally underrated "The KGB," (not to be confused with the likely hundred other bands with the same name) which is how I knew him.

I played in a basically unknown Bay Area band called Red Lantern.
