Dan and I finally went to the Mission District for our burrito taste-test. Both restaurants were pretty crowded, and there were pros and cons to each. First, El Papalote. It was clearly very popular as there was a long line to order and even longer line to be seated. We decided to take the burrito to go and ended up eating it outside on some steps. A little pricer than El Farolito, but the filling was perfect. The carne asada was as good as you can ask for, and everything else just tasted super fresh. Next, El Farolito. Cheaper but looked less clean in general. Case in point - we sat down at the only empty table but was covered in the previous eaters' garbage and no one bussed the table the whole time we were there. Ick. Generally the place looked more authentic. We were a little steak-ed out so we didn't do a true comparison but instead got a carnitas burrito. Pretty taste but wanted more char to my meat. It was good, but overall the winner for me would be El Papalote.
