Panchita's and Papalote absolutely yes. Xiao Long Bao on Clement Street is probably my favorite take out in the city, their daikon puffs are to die for. Also love Club Waziema on Divisadero, Tu Lan at 6th and Market, Emmy's Spaghetti Shack on Mission, El Faro (not to be confused with El Farolito) at 2nd and Mission downtown, and some of the best bread I've ever had was at Arizmendi on 9th Avenue (I know there's a bunch of them, but I lived around the corner from that one and have a love-hate relationship with the memory of waiting across the street for the muni after they'd started baking with the front window open but before they were open for business. RIP to all the late night and all night diners I spent my 20s in: I miss Baghdad Cafe and the Lucky Penny, the Naan-N-Curry on O'Farrell in the Tenderloin, and this place in North Beach that changed names (but not staff or menus) so often my friends just nicknamed it Under New Management.

It wasn't a fancy or highly acclaimed restaurant but when I lived on Woodward Street between 14th and Valencia and 14th and Mission I used to LOVE going to Los Coyotos on 16th and Mission to get their burritos. The favorite was the California Burrito with its french fries, guac and drizzled on top their housemade salsas. I lived in the Mission for years but haven't tried a lot of these places that you shared. Thanks to you I'll add them to my list of food destinations when I visit

Papusas are an amazing comfort food. In fact, after you did your book event with Paul Scheer the first thing I did after I left was make a beeline to San Rafael to eat at Pupuseria Blankita. The last two times I was in SF, I dropped in at Venga Empanadas (on Valencia between 15th and 16th) for a quick bite. Not quite as good as a Papusa, but still good walking food.

Panchita's is a core memory for me of living in the Mission in the early 90's. And though I spent decades happily adopting Mission-style burritos as stomach pets, since I moved to the western edge of the City, the lighter, crispier, very fresh fish burritos at Hook Fish in the Outer Outer Sunset has stolen my heart. I've been to 4505 often, and never thought to try the grilled cheese! Thanks for that idea.

@@Kitty8791 I do like el Farolito too. But La Taqueria’s is more flavorful to me. You are right about getting the burrito dorado.

If you like rice and refried beans more, then yes, el Farolito is the burrito to get. I always order all my burritos without rice. Don’t like cheese and sour cream in a burrito either. Just salsa, pico de gallo, and sometimes guacamole/avocado. But can’t go wrong with either one. Both La Taqueria and el Farolito are great, just different. El Farolito is a better bang for your buck, they fill you up more. You are right about the crowds in La Taqueria, it can be annoying.

Lordy, how my social circle badgered me - often the token Mejican in the convo - for my “best burrito” pronouncement when I could do no better than claiming my favorite, El Farolito. I was a little coy, but the truth remains that I found a burrito that I really liked. I wasn’t on the hunt for the best so I couldn’t make the claim. (Another truth: I probably get tortas there more often than burritos. Color me naughty….) In a fantasy world, I’d take the tamal torta [as presented in CDMX etc] as inspiration for a pupusa torta, possibly with a Mexi-hacked curtido.

I have very fond memories of eating pupusas with you and Theo Jansen!

+1 Papalote's salsa. My favorite too!

I used to live up in the Tacoma, WA area and had a few favorite places up there as well that I still hit anytime I'm visiting that area. Ma's Place in Puyallup has the absolute best comfort homemade style food! Branks BBQ in Sumner has killer BBQ, and THEKOI in downtown Tacoma is a great upscale Sushi restaurant.

The important thing to note is that you have to get the papalote salsa fresh from the store. Bi-Rite carries a jarred version that doesn’t do the restaurant justice

Glorious recommendations

Tomasso's pizza is my personal favorite, followed closely by Tony's. Recently tried Beeps Burgers, it was really good but expensive for a fast-food burger.

I held my breath to make sure you gave the *correct* answer regarding The Best Burrito in SF. We lived at 22nd and Folsom during the 90's, and ate at Farolitio at least 3 times per week. Its where I first experienced a grilled tortilla, which is now compulsory for any burrito. It is also where I developed the theory that the signature of any well-wrapped burrito is that you can stand it up on its end. Their fresh carrot juice and agua frescas are also amazing. Ugh! I am so hungry now!!! P.S. I also love Foreign Cinema. Order the lemon press cocktail.
