Taqueria Cancun in the Middle of the Night

We should all eat at Taqueria Cancun in the middle of the night more often. I mean, I do it plenty, and I’m sure most of you do too, but I feel like we haven’t talked about it in a while. Isn’t it the best? Look at those avocados; they’re like butter.

    Ohhh, that does look pretty amazing. I think really my only complaint about Taqueria Cancun is their chips. Sure, they’ve got the best burritos in town, hands down. But their chips are sub-par at best.

  2. Heather says:

    I wish they would get better chips. They are always such a disappointment.

  3. Herr Doktor Professor Deth Vegetable says:

    Raises an interesting question… Who DOES have the best chips in town? I have to admit that I am partial to Puerto Allegre’s, actually.

      While chips *should* be free (if only for their utilitarian multi-tool functionality while consuming burritos — drill-bit, backhoe, bulldozer) most free chips tend to be pretty weak. We discussed this briefly last year.

      This raises the important question: are non-gratis chips better than the free chips?

      El Farolito’s are pretty solid.

      I need to lean on the Mission Local folks to make a chip poll.

        El Delphin makes theirs in house and are amazing. As are Puerto Allegre’s. Most chips just suck and they should ALWAYS be free.

    I can only eat in restaurants that know how to keep their rats on the ground, not climbing on the hood over the beans. Cancun isn’t one of them.

  6. Birnbaum says:

    I’m neither yuppie nor vegan, but I do know a rat when I see it peering at me from high on the stove hood. Just saying.

    • Herr Doktor Professor Deth Vegetable says:

      Dunno what to tell you. As I pointed out, the Health Inspections don’t support your theory.

      • Birnbaum says:

        It’s actually not my theory. It was my actual sighting. Not such a big deal, we have a plethora of late night food sources. Buen apetito.

    Can-cun smells like rat’s ass. Explain that. I like hella grit, but that place is totally overrated by neoburrito wankers. I’ve been on the log in SF for 25 years at least.
