Tue Sep 26 15:19:45 -0700 2006 15873 beer786 1 1902981 Try La Tapatia on Grand Ave. in SSF. I've had their chile verde to go in a container and it was really good. The chile verde at La Palma in SF's Mission Street is also good. Tue Sep 26 15:36:47 -0700 2006 1902942 14374 Mari 2 1906726 Both are great... and since no one else has, i'll definitely second La Palma, but for the record, it's on 24th st. between florida/bryant. and though not in burrito form, Chavas on mission at 25th?, has a really unique tasting chile verde. that place just rocks in general. the chile verde has way more of an herb taste to it. Wed Sep 27 22:12:32 -0700 2006 1902981 23879 kairo 1 1902995 I'll second the chile verde from La Tapatia in SSF. I also like the chile verde at Picante in Berkeley. Tue Sep 26 15:41:12 -0700 2006 1902942 10429 gordon wing 1 1903008 In SF, I've had good chile verde at Órale Órale. At least for dine-in, their regular burritos are non-Mission-style, just meat in the tortilla, beans and rice on the side. Not that I have anything against Mission burritos, but I think with chile verde the other style works better. Out of the stated area, but Cueva's in Dixon makes a great chile verde burrito. The flour tortillas are housemade. Tue Sep 26 15:47:17 -0700 2006 1902942 11369 Robert Lauriston 2 1903192 I agree with you - a chile verde burrito should just be made with rice and beans & maybe a little sour cream. Tue Sep 26 16:50:50 -0700 2006 1903008 14374 Mari 3 1903232 A burrito filled with meat, rice, and beans is a Mission-style burrito. Órale Órale's regular chile verde and chile colorado burritos are meat only. They also have "supreme" burritos which are Mission-style super burritos (meat, rice, beans, guacamole, sour cream). Tue Sep 26 17:01:54 -0700 2006 1903192 11369 Robert Lauriston 4 1903462 Got it. I still think it just needs rice and beans and that's it. Tue Sep 26 18:20:29 -0700 2006 1903232 14374 Mari 5 1903548 Right. I was just pointing out that you were actually disagreeing with me about that. Tue Sep 26 18:43:15 -0700 2006 1903462 11369 Robert Lauriston 5 1906994 I'll split the difference: I think a filling a "soupy" as chile needs some rice to soak up the juice. I don't like beans, period, so I never want them in my burritos. Wed Sep 27 23:55:01 -0700 2006 1903462 10159 Ruth Lafler 4 1909162 never in my life have a i heard anyone refer to any burrito of any type as "mission style" . Thu Sep 28 19:57:48 -0700 2006 1903232 15873 beer786 5 1909234 Aka "Mission burrito" or, outside of this area, "SF-style burrito."
