      <![CDATA[Silly me. And as to Bethany's question - I find Rancho Brava in Wallingford a good meal if I'm out that way or El Camion has closed. But I wouldn't say it was equal to Pancho Villa (Mission, San Mateo), Taqueria San Jose (Mission, North Beach, San Jose) or La Michoacána (San Mateo) [which also did Salvadorean food].<br />
<br />
That is something I miss here - Michoacán-style Mexican restaurants.

      <![CDATA[Best headline ever. I tried so hard NOT to comment...<br />
<br />
20 years in San Diego then<br />
20 years in Santa Cruz then<br />
6 years on the Olympic Peninsula<br />
<br />
I've been such a good transplant, I have. I haven't complained about the weather once (well, not since I was snowed in for 3 days in 2006.) Learned to drive slow and polite. Learned to wait in line while everyone chatted with the cashier. Didn't laugh at my clients who had dial-up internet and didn't know how to use a debit card(!). Learned to pronounce AND spell Puyallup. Memorized the Ferry schedule. Lived with the Hood Canal Bridge closed for 6 fricking weeks. Even learned to live on 30% less income.<br />
<br />
Now for the LOVE OF GOD and all things spicy could I get a decent burrito?!?... or taco... I'm a reasonable person. <br />
<br />
And a fork should not be required. That is all.<br />
<br />
P.S. Yes on the crispy carnitas. Or carne asada, but only if it's really tender. Next can we talk about avocados?<br />

      <![CDATA[I grew up in California eating Mexican food made by Mexican mamas for my mom, who ran a medical clinic for migrant workers. The first time I ever ate a Mission style burrito, I was disgusted and wondered why anyone would want rice inside their burrito. I still feel the same way ... I think the Mexican food in SF is mostly overrated and that Rancho Bravo is as well. My experience is that the best Mexican food in California is around LA and in little towns like Salinas.

      <![CDATA[As a MEXICAN from SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, I cried tears of happiness when I found Rancho Bravo. Their tamales are the exact consistency of the tamales my grandma used to make- creamy, melts on your tongue, not dried out and crusty. It was like finding a bit of home in the passive aggressive capitol of the world. I brought my cousins here-because I'm Mexican, I always have cousins around-and I brought my dad here. They all agree on it's awesomeness as well. Mexican food is like Italian food...the style varies and there is not one superior style. Like a true Mexican though, I prefer my Mom's cooking to anything. STFU about the Bay Area, that's not even real California anyway. If you like it so much, go back, jerks.

      <![CDATA[Some of the worst Mexican food I ever had was in Mexico (Guadalajara) while some of the best I've had was in Seattle (La Carta). Some in New York has been great and plenty both mediocre and superlative has been in SF. It all comes down to who pays attention to detail. Two people make a pot of beans with the same exact ingredients but one of them is better by far. One of them used technique learned in Puebla and the other in Jalisco. That's the beauty of it and what one refers to when one speaks of the "art" of cooking! Viva La Comida Mexicana!

So let em' have their taco's and Tri-Tip. It's a small consolation prize. <br />
<br />
And BTW, everyone knows the best mexican food is in CENTRAL California, yeah, that shit hole called Fresno everyone drives through. Bonus points if you know an actual mexican with a grandma who insists on feeding you as soon as you walk in.

      <![CDATA[Your average Mission taqueria isn't *that* special, but I'm guessing the taco snobs aren't talking about your average Mission taqueria. There are so many to choose from (several per block in some places) that there is a lot of variability in quality.  Quite a few of them have specialties that set them apart from the rest -- Papalote for one has the most fucking amazing salsa and mole that are unlike anything I've tasted anywhere else. I eat there at least once a week.

      <![CDATA[I'm from Seattle (a Swedish baby yet) but I'm living in San Diego now. I agree with the commentors above that Mexican food is hugely varied. It's a big country with lots of regional variation.  The typical Mexican food you find in restaurants can be very enjoyable; the thing I see though is that the menus are limited. It's uncommon to find a Mexican restaurant anywhere that celebrates the true variety of the foods. So, if you're really interested in trying good Mexican food in Seattle, get Diana Kennedy's books and start cooking!
