Taqueria El Farolito

Authentic Mexican taqueria famous for generous super burritos under $10, featuring fresh ingredients and flavorful traditional dishes.

Taqueria El Farolito on Grand Avenue makes a burrito order feel satisfyingly flexible. The South San Francisco menu lists the familiar super burrito with rice, beans, cheese, sour cream, avocado, and a choice of meat, alongside shrimp, chile relleno, and vegetable versions. We like that these alternatives give different cravings a place on the same menu. A breakfast burrito combines Mexican sausage and eggs with the usual substantial accompaniments, while a shrimp-and-meat burrito offers a surf-and-turf direction. Aguas frescas and Mexican sodas provide drinks to pair with the food. Part of the El Farolito group, this location's appeal is its straightforward focus on Mexican taqueria staples and customizable fillings. It is an easy menu to approach with a favorite combination in mind or a desire to try a different burrito.
