San Francisco burrito is a type of burrito that first became popular during the 1960s in the Mission District of San Francisco, California. Author Gustavo Arellano classifies the Mission-style burrito as one of three major styles of burritos in the United States, following the earlier, simple burrito consisting of beans, rice, and meat and preceding the California burrito containing cheese and potatoes that was developed in the 1980s.[1] Originally a Mexican-American food, the San Francisco burrito is distinguished from a regular burrito partly by the amount of rice and other side dishes included in the package, and also by its sheer size.[2] The size is responsible for its inclusion in the Urban Food Log category.[3]
