We all know that there\’s some serious burrito action in the Bay Area. The ultimate guide to this action seems to be Burrito Eater, which seems to have a rather comprehensive guide to burritos in San Francisco.

If only this site could be such a good resource.

Maya\’s

Boring again, had a Maya\’s chicken mole burrito for lunch. I was in meetings throug lunch time and it was almost two, when all the lunch places close in my part of SoMA, so Maya\’s was just too easy. Read about the chicken mole burrito here.

Gordo\’s

What do you do when you\’re in the Outer Richmond, surronded by great Asian places? Go to Gordo\’s and get a burrito, of course! I had been to a Gordo\’s once before when I was visiting Tantek but I\’m pretty sure that one was in the Haight, while this Gordo\’s was at 19th and Geary (ish). I ended up going for the super burrito with guacamole and sour cream (I love sour cream) and beef. As burrito\’s go, this one was very solid, and much better than the one at Pancho Villa the other day. Coke seems to work great with Mexican food, so that was the drink for this late lunch.

Pancho Villa

We were meeting in the Mission before DJ Spinnerty\’s gig at Skylark, and Jamie suggested we meet at this little place at 16th and Valencia called Pancho Villa. Mission is always colorful, and I got to take some of that in while I waited for Jamie and Zack to get there. Even though I had already had a burrito for lunch, the meat looked so good I decided to go for their Deluxe Burrito with carnitas, refried beans, rice, and cheese. I also had a pretty good Horchata, which is a Mexican drink with rice, almonds, cinnamon and sugar. (My favorite horchata is still in Austin at that place everyone goes during SxSW, can\’t remember the name.) The burrito ended up being pretty dry, I think they used too much rice and not enough beans or meat. The chips were also a little stale, none of use ended up eating many of them. The best part about Pancho Villa is probably the crowd, it was totally packed when we were there and we also had a window seat and got to observe some interesting antics outside. Nice atmosphere, but I\’m convinced there\’s better Mexican in the Mission.

Maya\’s for Lunch

There\’s this restraunt about a block away called Maya that is a schmancy Latin place at night but during lunch has a mini-Maya in the bar that has much cheaper lunch food. They have some excellent burritos and for lunch I got a Chicken Mole burrito with refried beans. This is by far my favorite that they do, and it\’s really great. Make sure to ask the guy for extra chips when you pick up your order. One of the best lunch deals in the SoMA/Rincon area.
