Where to find the best two-pound behemoth of foil-wrapped fillings that constitutes the Mission-style burrito?the proper ratio of meat to rice to beans is crucial, and keep that lettuce out of there?is perhaps the single most heated debate on the SF dining scene. In a sea of hundreds, these five taquerias are simply the best for a hefty meal in a tortilla.

The smokey, rich salsa that comes with every order only improves the already flavorful grilled meats (and tofu products for vegetarians) that star in this colorful, nontraditional Mission restaurant's burritos.
If you can brave the long lunch lines, this popular taqueria is the place for both your regular seam-busting Mission burrito and also a "baby" one--which is still closer to the size of an infant rather than what might be suitable for one.
This longtime Mission favorite is known as serving up some of the best tacos in town, but they also do the burrito justice with generous servings of carnitas and carne asada.
For the ultimate drunk food, head to this late-night Mission destination (conveniently close to some of the city's hippest nightlife spots) for cheap, colossal burritos bursting with the standard fillings.
Buttery grilled tortillas are stuffed with pinto beans, Spanish rice, melted cheese, sliced avocado and delightfully spicy salsa to compromise the award-winning veggie burrito at this Mission favorite.
