What people say, in short
La Taqueria is a Mission District taqueria that a few commenters name among the city's iconic spots and that diners recommend for burritos, including a steak burrito. Its no-rice Mission-style burrito divides opinion: one diner calls it very good, another finds it less filling than average because it skips rice, and a third says it is often praised as the best burrito place in SF while preferring rice-filled burritos elsewhere. Some diners find the food merely good or mediocre, and long lines are a recurring caveat, though others say the line moves fast; a couple of people also note that phone pickup orders go unanswered when it is busy.
