The Green Spoon: Featured Publisher Friday #4

Above: Best pork carnitas in San Francisco. Do you know where they are from? Read on...

Midtown Lunch was in town last week with the entire Midtown Family and they stopped in the office for a few minutes on Friday to say hello. Since we didn’t get the treat of eating with them, the least we could do was greet them with an office short list of great, cheap S.F. lunch spots.

1. Mission: La Taqueria.
Must order: The carnitas tacos.

2. Chinatown: Latte Express (NE corner of Montgomery & Kearny).
Must Order: The #4 BBQ Pork Bahn Mi.

3. Financial Distric: Sentinel.
What to order: all the daily specials are amazing.

4. SOMA: Snack Depot (303 2nd street).
What to order: any sammy.

They were headed to the Mission, and were debating over a few recommended Mexican spots. Should they go for the burritos at Taqueria Cancun, or the pork carnitas at La Taqueria? After some serious peer pressure, we convinced Zach that he should try La Taqueria.

The next day, I had an email in my inbox from Zach:

“la taqueria... awesome! shared a carnitas burrito, carnitas taco, and cabeza taco. tacos were probably the best tacos i've ever had... and the green sauce- so excellent. thanks for the great rec!"

Hooray!! My sentiments exactly.

I think another Foodbuzz field trip is in order…In the meantime, cast your vote: what’s the best burrito in the Mission?
