"There were many things that drew me to California. There was the sunshine, of course, as well as the endless coastline and vibrant culture. But what I remember being most blown away by was the food - in particular, the Mexican food. Much like Tex-Mex, Cal-Mex varies all over the state, and every area has reimagined the specialties in its own way. One of the best examples is San Francisco's Mission-style burrito - a ginormous, foil-wrapped mammoth filled with meat, rice, beans, and more."
"before making my way to San Francisco to bake in a popular pastry shop. I've always had an interest in Mexican food, but I can't say the options were always very authentic back in County Cork. But burritos are pretty much a main food group here in San Francisco, and you can find a Mission-style one on every corner at any time of day."
"No Mission-style burrito guide could start off without mentioning La Taqueria. Located smack-dab on Mission Street, this SF institution is known across the country for its seared, rice-less burritos. You'd be hard-pressed to avoid waiting in line, especially since owner Miguel Jara was honored with a James Beard Award, and La Taqueria was named the best burrito in America a few years ago, but I promise you will not be disappointed."
California offers sunshine, an endless coastline, vibrant culture, and distinctive regional food varieties. Cal-Mex adapts Mexican dishes across the state, with the Mission-style burrito exemplifying local reinvention. The Mission-style burrito is oversized, foil-wrapped, and packed with components such as meat, rice, and beans. A background in restaurant kitchens and service across Ireland and Mexico-inspired places led to moving to San Francisco and engaging deeply with the local food scene. Mission-style burritos appear widely throughout San Francisco. La Taqueria on Mission Street is nationally known for seared, rice-less, generously filled burritos and notable culinary recognition.
