Editorial Review for Mission Burritos – by Eric Gerber

The Scene
The cinder-block interior is a little dim, even dank, but the tree-shaded deck outside is much more alluring. The real draw here is, as the menu trumpets, "fresh food fast." Fast, however, can be a relative term, especially during peak periods. But the atmosphere is so pleasantly laid-back, it's hard to get grumpy.

The Food
Burritos--massive piles of beans, rice, various meats and condiments wrapped in oversized tortillas--are the stellar attractions, but the flavorful fish tacos deserve attention, too. Five salsa choices range from an intentionally tepid tomato and cilantro mix to an incendiary habanero. Overlooked among all this heavy-duty chow is the refreshing Que Mas salad, with crunchy jicama, roasted corn and sweet red peppers perking up the greens.

My friends and I are constantly looking for the best burrito (we fight about the pros and cons of Freebirds & Chipolte) but we both loved Mission Burritos! Extremely friendly and helpful staff, cheap but delicious burritos and the warm atmosphere put Mission Burritos on the top of my list.

Pros: Long lines go quickly, Service
