Find out how much flavor can fit inside a tortilla when you bite into a taco that would meet the approval of streetside taqueros from Tijuana to Tulum. You’ll get two tacos with your choice of beef, chicken, or pork

Walk down a street that’s like an open-air art gallery and see murals dating from 1972 to 2024. Here, your guide will share about the enterprising women who started San Francisco’s community mural movement and ongoing efforts today.

The organization behind everything you just saw in Balmy Alley, Precita Eyes has spent nearly five decades training muralists and educating the public about this art form and its community roots. Browse original artwork and hand-painted goods while your guide points out what's worth a closer look. (Closed Sundays.)

Open since 1953, La Palma is the oldest Latino-owned business in the Mission — part grocery store, part tortilla factory, part restaurant. Watch the staff press fresh tortillas in the back. Then sample huaraches (dense corn masa topped with cheese, vegetables, and meat) alongside a glass of horchata, a creamy, cinnamon-spiced drink made with rice and condensed milk.

The menu here draws on the Mission's layered heritage, with Mexican and Salvadorean flavors. Your guide will introduce you to champurrado, a warming Mexican hot chocolate made with corn masa and cinnamon that's been part of Mission life for as long as the neighborhood has been a hub for Latino culture.

You can't leave the Mission without having a burrito. Considered by those in the know to be the best burritos in San Francisco, El Farolito got its start on Mission Street in the early 1980s and has been a favorite since. You'll dig into a burrito stuffed with your choice of meat, rice, beans, cheese, sour cream, and fresh avocado.
