Best in SF. Their burritos are good, especially the pollo asado.
As a vegetarian, the ways vegetables are prepared in restaurants can be tiresome. What's so fantastic about El Balazo is that they've got those delicious grilled vegetables to mix in anything (burrito, quesadilla, tacos) and a really unique cactus burrito that deserves all my praise. Shredded lettuce isn't your only option here!
It isn't the cheapest burrito joint, but I guess you get what you pay for.
Great place: I love this place. The prices are great and the food is awesome.
