Was going to El Farto often in the 70's. Been to La Taqueira quite a few times haven,t been to La Cumbre in a while.
El Farto is kind of bland, La Taqueira has the best flavor but the burritos are smaller than El Farto. La Cumbre has more flavor than El Farto but not as good as la Taqueira. These days I mostly go to taco trucks

@slobake,.. what is the name of the place on Mission @25th Street?!! their burritos are super elite. they fry the outer corn tortillas, then place the ingredients on a steamed corn "inner" tortilla, and the melted queso bonds them, OMG! 
probably the best feature of this restaurant is the quality of their meats. they use very tender steak on the carne asada dishes!!!
@elgecko,.. that Mission area from 16th to 24th and beyond to the left or right is a Burrito Goldmine! even the "dives" have great fare,.. the place outside of the 24th & Mission BART makes them so big it's ridiculous.
ps: La Cumbre AIN'T what it use to be. they were number one on my list in the 80's, but their head cook must've passed on.

I'm not big on spending vacation days in cities. I much prefer to spend them in the great outdoors but I was watching something on the Cooking Channel that made me want to visit San Francisco if only for some burritos and a sourdough loaf from Boudin.

Do you live on the Bay? For some reason, I thought you lived in the Sierra somewhere.
i moved to the Bay in 78. left the hustle after the dotcom bust. i live in the Santa Cruz Mt foothills now, but frequently reference Shasta & Mendocino Co.'s where the air smells like fresh cut lumber. the Sierras would be awesome to live. IF I WAS RICH!!!
It's interesting how almost every culture has some type of wrapped food.
Personally I don't care for gigantic burritos or rice in my burritos. I like more of a simple approach.
My wife is Mexican American and In the 17 years we've been together my take on burritos has changed radically. Most of our home made burritos are breakfast burritos and anything else that gets wrapped in a corn or flour tortilla is a taco. And I am so fortunate that she carries on the traditional recipes of her mother and grandmother, adding her twist to all of it.

just had a plate of those at Seabright Brewery last week!!!! so awesome
Personally, I love La Cumbre. My brother lived by Mission Delores for years we'd got there for lunch all the time. Yum.
