Why we point you here

James Beard-charted taqueria serving San Francisco's Mission District since before the accolades caught up.

This Mission District taqueria earned its James Beard America's Classics award in 2017 for a reason—authentic Mexican cooking that's worth the detour across the city. When you roam San Francisco and want something real, this is where to point yourself.
