Everyone seems to have a favorite burrito spot. But it's not like having a favorite color or NPR reporter. People get downright emotional about it. In fact, Pedro Grande, co-owner of Taqueria Cancun in San Francisco, reports that it's not uncommon for grown men to weep tears of joy -- the salty droplets mixing with smeared gobs of sour cream on their faces -- while quietly downing one of his freshly rolled super burritos.


In order to prove to the IRS that our ¡Burritos! travel expense deductions were legitimate, we included a chapter in our book that highlights our favorite taquerias, called "The World's Best Burritos: The Joy of Not Cooking". Read about three of these taqueria landmarks below.

Taqueria #1: Taqueria Cancun
San Francisco Mission
District luminary

Taqueria #2: El Tepeyac Café
The single best reason
to visit Los Angeles

Taqueria #3:Taco Loco
The best burritos east
of the Mississippi
