Taqueria Cancun
Our verdict
Taqueria Cancun is a practical pick for a quick Mission District burrito, especially if the plan is casual, group-friendly, or late-night. Order from the core list rather than overthinking it: burrito mojado, breakfast burrito with chorizo, alambres, vegetarian burrito, or tacos. Skip it for chef-led dining or a polished special occasion.
