High Five! Mexican Food, But Not Taquerias

Tacos from Nick’s, your most clicked-on Mexican restaurant

You love Mexican food. We know this, San Francisco. But we also know there’s a difference between how you feel about the corner taqueria (old reliable) and an actual Mexian restaurant. Interestingly, that difference seems to come out in today’s High Five.

We decided to see which Mexican restaurants you clicked on most during the month of January, and to our surprise, taquerias are way underrepresented. In fact, we probably wouldn’t consider any of the following to be taquerias, per se, that is, havens of the big ol’ Mission Burrito. And that makes sense, because you already know the menu at El Farolito. It’s when you have to get outside the tortilla that you need help.
