Notable Picks
#1
El Farolito
8.0
A 24-hour Mission District taqueria where forearm-length super burritos under $10 feed multiple meals. Al pastor and carne asada get open-flame treatment; the salsa bar supplements every order. Cash only, lines out the door on weekend nights, but throughput stays efficient. Some report recent consistency wobbles—dry burritos appearing alongside the usual standards—but 30-year regulars still show up.
Must-Try Dishes:
Super Burrito Carne Asada, Super Burrito Al Pastor, Super Burrito Carnitas
What Makes it Special: 24-hour Mission taqueria serving two-pound burritos with open-flame grilled meats
8.0
24th Street fixture with a late-night taco line and steam-table classics. Al pastor shaves and offal cuts draw industry folks after shifts.
Must-Try Dishes:
Al pastor taco off the trompo, Cabeza taco, Suadero taco
What Makes it Special: Trompo al pastor and offal tacos served deep night.
8.0
Colorful Mission stalwart known for juicy al pastor and griddled tortillas. It runs later than most sit-down spots and turns out reliably saucy tacos with plenty of salsas.
Must-Try Dishes:
Al pastor super burrito (mojado), Lengua taco, Carne asada nachos
What Makes it Special: Saucy “mojado” burritos and zippy salsa verde late-night.
Worthy Picks

Carne asada taco, Pollo asado taco, Al pastor taco
What Makes it Special: Long-running Valencia counter that stays open late on weekends.
