in seriousness, I'm hoping people will comment here with the best places to get a mission burrito in NYC

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 and gooey). Also avoids the danger of accidentally biting into the foil and getting that delicious aluminium flavor.

- salsa roja cremosa

Meta question, apologies:

I submitted this exact link 20 days ago, and I've noticed several other precisely duplicate submissions recently. Meanwhile, sometimes I go to submit a link and I'm not allowed because there was a previous submission almost a year(!) ago. Just what the heck are the rules here?

I think just about all of these are achievable except for the wax paper on which it's probably simplest to just recognize they are doing it wrong in San Diego.

more of a taco guy, but...

calexico, dos toros, oaxaca

the morelos empire: 2nd and a, north 6 and bedford, grand and graham (edit: they had/have a storefront in the east village, don't remember where now but near superiority burger i believe)

also there's supposedly some legit birria trucks about, but i have not tried them. and, i don't know if anyone closed due to the pandemic.

More importantly, where do I get a breakfast taco in California?

The fact that my pre-Covid early morning business trips from Austin to San Diego used to have me delivering a boatload of breakfast tacos from the Austin airport shows that there is an untapped market.
