Description:
La Cumbre claims to be "The Birthplace of The Mission-Style Burrito." That's a pretty cool claim to hold, but they only back it up with decent burritos.

As most of the burritos on this list from The Mission, La Cumbre is that burrito that satisfies your need for a big burrito, but nothing more. It also comes with the high price tag that a lot of taquerias are now adopting (so sad). Basically this burrito had very tender but rather flavorless asada, flavorful but way under-cooked rice, very good beans and guac, basically no crema so I didn't even rate it, normal cheese and tortilla, and a plentiful salsa bar.

That's about all there is to say. I guess it didn't come with chips which sucks, but it didn't have a line at all (like the crazy mobs at Pancho Villa around the corner). The salsa bar was pretty great, but overall this was your standard Mission burrito. I would recommend it over most of the taquerias near 16th Bart, but it's nothing to write home about.

Other Notes:
No chips, no line.
