Super carnitas dorado burrito – La Taqueria

Super carnitas dorado burrito - La Taqueria
Sour cream, cheese, avocado, beans, pico de gallo. $8.95
La Taqueria, San Francisco

This was messy and really tasty! I do think that having the burrito lightly grilled made all the difference. Trying to order and find a seat at this place during a weekend dinner was insane though. I don’t think a burrito is worth that madness.

Chips and salsa - La Taqueria
Chips and salsa. $1.30
I was hoping for salsa rojo or anything else besides their boring and super acidic pico de gallo.

Carnitas tacos – La Taqueria

Roasted pulled pork with pinto beans, salsa and wrapped in flour tortillas. $3.50 each
La Taqueria, San Francisco

My apologies, but this place is SO over rated and over priced!  The tacos may be large, but they were bland and the juice from the salsa (seemed to be used as filler) kept dripping down my arm.  It baffles me how these tacos made it on the 7×7 Big Eat 2011 list but then again, so did dim sum at Ton Kiang!  Both are disappointing and not worth a special trek to try them.  I honestly think that any taco truck in the Mission has better carnitas tacos and they’ll be cheaper too.  You’ve been warned, lol!
