<\/p>\nIt\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s rare that I walk into a taqueria for the first time and immediately know that I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be back. Wandering around the Tenderloin, I found myself starving and craving a burrito. Little did I know what I was about to stumble upon.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I make it a point to peer into any taqueria I happen to pass by. Even if I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not hungry then, I can file it away for a possible future visit. This habit I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve gotten myself into was not even necessary to draw me into El Tesoro. The door was open, it was well lit and they were busy with Mexicans both in front of and behind the counter.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Without hesitation I walked in and ordered an old stand-by, super burrito, carnitas. Whenever I first try out a new place, I usually go for pork or carne asada as it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s easy to compare to other establishments. The grill was sizzling, smoke was rising and I was getting hungrier. I noticed that my tortilla was being grilled \u00e2\u20ac\u201c always a good sign.<\/p>\n
Then as I let my eyes drift, I noticed a tray of rolled tacos. Not flautas, but rolled corn tortillas. Like the kind you get in San Diego Mexican food restaurants. Oh my god\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 they have rolled tacos\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6! I scanned the take-out menu I had reflexively picked up and found it: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Six Rolled Fried Corn Tortilla with Chicken, Sour Cream, Guacamole, Salsa and Salad\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. Holy Hell! And it was only six bucks too! It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s listed under Flautas, but whatever \u00e2\u20ac\u201c the important thing is corn<\/em> tortillas, filled with meat and then fried. Fond memories of late night orders of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Three-Rolled-Tacos-Guacamole\u00e2\u20ac\u009d ran through my head, as I quickly realized this was on par price-wise. Those delicious snacks of three were always about two bucks, so double it, add all the goodies\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Mmm\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6mmm\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n I almost lost consciousness, excited as I was. But I had other plans for this meal. I had already ordered my burrito, but was already convinced I was going to return as soon as possible. Then I noticed the salsa bar tucked away in the back. Oh no, it couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t get any better\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6could it?<\/p>\n It could. Roasted jalape\u00c3\u00b1os. Habanero hot sauce. Green sauce. Red tomatillo sauce. How could this be? Self serve fire-roasted<\/em> jalape\u00c3\u00b1os??? Right then, I knew that not only was I coming back, but that I was coming back often. With three kinds of chicken, four kinds of pork, and all the usual beef varieties, I knew that I would trek up the hill often for this place.<\/p>\n Finally I get my burrito and happily discover it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s just as delicious as I suspected. The carnitas was juicy and flavorful with a hint of a something I still can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t discern. Cinnamon? Brown sugar? Tequila? Well, whatever it was, it was delicious. Success! A new burrito joint topping off my list. I can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t wait to go back tomorrow\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 or later today.<\/p>\n 599 O’Farrell and Leavenworth It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s rare that I walk into a taqueria for the first time and immediately know that I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be back.
