We tried 8 of the best burritos in San Francisco - here's the champion

San Franciscans obsess about burritos the way New Yorkers fawn over pizza and bagels.

I recently set out to find the best very burrito in the City by the Bay.

For this list, I analyzed noteworthy burrito rankings from Zagat, FiveThirtyEight, Thrillist, Yelp, FourSquare, The Daily Meal, and local blog SFist. A burrito that placed on three or more rankings made my list of establishments to try. I ordered the closest thing to a "regular" burrito at each restaurant (a "super" burrito gets you cheese, sour cream, and guacamole or sliced avocado for a few bucks more) and picked whatever meat option sounded good to me.

This was not a data-driven review, as FiveThirtyEight did masterfully with its nationwide burrito bracket in 2014. But I listened to my gut. Here are the results.
