La Taqueria (San Francisco, CA)

Score: 6 / 10    Reviewed by: garion34

Maybe I tried this place on a bad day, but I don't get the hype. I've ever had such an unmemorable burrito. After hearing a lot about this place, I was excited to try it. I was looking for a burrito that could rival La Tapatia or Los Charros.

After plunking down about $21 for two burritos (I added cheese to one, something that shouldn't be an add on), a soda and an horchata, I settled down for what I hoped would be an incredible burrito. I've never been so disappointed. Not only did the burrito lack rice, but the ingredients were mediocre. The carnitas were soft, almost mushy, a stark contrast from the crispy carnitas I look for. The salsa was watery and had absolutely no kick to it. All in all, it embodied mediocrity.

Adding to the experience was the fact that I had to buy chips and salsa, and I had a pretty miserable experience. The only saving grace was horchata, which was made just right.

Again, maybe I came on an off day. But I don't think I'll be returning to La Taqueria. I'm going to be sticking with Los Charros and La Tapatia.
