El Faro has been serving up the original Mission Burrito in SoMa since 1980, and they’re still doing it right. This family-owned spot keeps it simple—fresh ingredients, big flavors, and burritos packed to perfection. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, it’s a must-visit for a true San Francisco classic. Today, it’s still family-owned and churns out huge, hearty burritos stuffed with rice, beans, meat (like carne asada, al pastor, or chorizo), guac, sour cream, and salsa. You can go classic with the Super Burrito or go big with the El Gigante—enough for a meal or to split.
