The mission burrito, oh how I love thee. While the hubs and I didn’t go out on our usual Friday date night, we did enjoy some yummy Mexican take-out. San Francisco is known for Mexican food and Mission Street is chock full of taquerias that offer light on the wallet, delicious food. Ask any local and they will surely have a different opinion on where to find the best burrito. However, Taqueria Can-Cun does boast the distinction of best burrito 10 years in a row (and boast they do, it’s printed on their menu!). We have been to other taquerias but so far our favorite is this place. While the ambiance leaves much to be desired, the food more than makes up for it. The menu is fairly simple and while they offer other typical Mexican fare, by far the most popular item is the burrito, but not just any burrito, the Super Burrito! Suffice it to say you will not leave hungry! The hubs always opts for the carne asada, while I always order the marinated pork. They’re both delicious. Other items we’ve tried include Super Nachos with marinated pork and Menudo, which is a traditional Mexican soup, served only on weekends. Both are good and recommended. The restaurant is open until 1am on weekdays and 2am on weekends, which is always great when you’ve got a late night snack attack!
