Our Top Pick
The Little Chihuahua (Polk Street)
Mission-style burritos with organic, sustainable ingredients and strong vegan/vegetarian options
Worthy Picks
A counter-service burrito operation that builds on organic, sustainable sourcing and a deep vegetarian lineup—notable in a format that rarely prioritizes either. The Polk Street location runs loud and fast, geared toward grab-and-go lunch crowds or patio regulars who want Mission-style heft without the Mission parking situation. Works best when you know your order and want reliable execution at budget prices.

Al Pastor Burrito, Garlic Shrimp Burrito, Rice and Beans Bowl
What Makes it Special: Mission-style burritos with organic, sustainable ingredients and strong vegan/vegetarian options
