DecemburritoDecember 2013
Updated Tuesday, December 31, 2013. For the last time.
1000 burritos reviewed and mustache-rated all around the City and County of San Francisco, California. One thousand burritos.
And that's all he wrote. Thank you, goodnight.

December Taqueria Visit
12/7: The final stop on our Autumn 2013 Farewell Tour. The top-rated burrito of the year. One of the highest-rated burritos on Burritoeater record. No gristle! Ladies and gentlemen: La Espiga de Oro.

The End of Mustaches
It's true: After ten years on the San Francisco taqueria beat, Burritoeater.com will no longer be regularly updated as of December 2013. We're out to hit the 1000-review plateau...and once we do, it's curtains.
Don't look like that; don't be sad. Celebrate! Celebrate the end of an era that's been rife with cast-aside aluminum foil, oblique recollections of lunch, and of course, mustaches.
(We'll continue to update our iPhone app, Burritoeater's Top 30 San Francisco Taquerias. Buy with confidence!)

November Taqueria Visits
11/30: It's championship-caliber carnitas and heavy mustaches at Taq. Vallarta on 24th St.
11/25: 2012 Slab Scrum champ Taq. Can-cún (Mission/Valencia edition) should fare better than 7.83 mustaches. But it doesn't.
11/20: After years of striking far more exciting poses in the San Francisco taqueria family photo, La Fonda assumes the dead-boring good-dancer / firm-handshake look.
11/11: A shadow of its former 9.42-mustache self, the fajita burrito at The Little Chihuahua (Lower Haight edition) still holds intangible charm.
11/9: You don't come to Gordo Taq. on Clement for killer meats, perfect rice, or the finest pico de gallo around. You come for the best sucker-punch ensemble of ingredients in town. At least we do.
11/6: Our 8.09-mustache chile relleno slab at Taq. El Farolito on Mission/24th cheeses our panel right off. Hot bites and late drips also occur.

October Taqueria Visits
10/31: Papalote on Fulton comes up uncharacteristically drab on Halloween Day; many shrugs ensue.
10/22: To hell with diplomacy: Our final La Taqueria burrito is a total travesty.
10/18: It's about time one of the pitstops on this illustrious farewell tour of ours kicks down a nine-mustache colossus. El Burrito Express on Divisadero comes through.
10/13: It's 8.50 mustaches of slabular satisfaction at Gordo Taq. on 9th Ave. But you probably expected that. (We certainly did.)
10/9: Papalote on 24th St. sets our farewell tour's course right. Of course it does.
10/6: By misguidedly prioritizing compostability over burstage abatement, once-noble / now-ghastly Taq. La Cumbre becomes even more of a disturbing punchline.

September Taqueria Visits
9/30: Usually a reliably anchored tugboat in our eight-mustache harbor, Cuco's erratically drifts away on choppy seven-mustache seas.
9/28: One of our favorite dark-horse slabshops the city over, La Laguna Taq. in the Bayview, mildly disappoints us with a phone-it-in effort.
9/15: Tacos San Buena on Harrison brings our farewell tour to a shrugnificent pause.
9/9: Things turn saucy in our latest Q&A-style Tacobar review.
9/7: We begin our farewell tour at Taq. El Castillito on Church, where the al pastor means as much business as it ever did.
