Our dish — the plate we'd order here firstSuper Burrito
Rice, beans and a choice of meat, carne asada, al pastor, carnitas and more, with guacamole, cheese, sour cream and salsa, all rolled into one. The family says the style began at its first shop, and it's what we'd order here.
From El Faro's own menu and pages, as we read them in October 2026.

The first El Faro, in the Mission, made the city's first super burrito, the family says, and Yolanda came from Durango to work at an uncle's shop and stayed. Yolanda and husband now run this SoMa El Faro.
