February Taqueria Visits
2/25: We hope for Buster Posey, J.T. Snow, or Will Clark at Giant Burrito. We instead get Johnnie LeMaster.
2/21: Angelica's Taq. and its litany of clangs does not impress.
2/10: Our fine-tasting Tropisueño slab sabotages itself with sauce and cheese shortcomings.
2/8: It's a slabular spectacular on Church Street, where Casa Mexicana's breakfast burrito proves to be a near-flawless gem.
2/2: Taco Loco suffers a new low by way of our unforgiving Ten-Mustache Scale.

Another Year of BurritoeatingJanuary 2013
January Taqueria Visits
1/30: Tacos San Buena in the Mission does not have the knack, and has not had it for quite some time.
1/27: Despite serious cheese inadequacies, Taq. Guadalajara in the Mission kicks down an eight-mustache AM slab...in the PM.
1/19: The burrito scene at the Iron Cactus hasn't gotten any better than when the place opened in 2009.
1/13: Ordering a chile verde pork burrito soon at Taq. La Paz? Some slurping may be required.
1/9: Dos Piñas Taq. gets all mushy and stuff on us. And not in a good way.
1/7: The fourth and newest El Faro in town, over yonder on Haight Street, doesn't endear itself to our panel of judge-boneheads.

2012 Scrum Champ: Taq. Can-cúnDecember 2012
December Taqueria Visits
12/5: Taq. Can-cún (Mission/Valencia edition) wins our 2012 Slab Scrum and drops out of our Mustache Chart's top ten in one fell swoop. That's not how it's supposed to work, is it?
12/3: With its first Scrum title within reach, La Laguna Taq. doles out an impossibly hot and sorta greasy slab. Hmm.

2012 Slab Scrum!
Scrum is done! Go cheggit right now.

2012 Hiatus #4
Kindly hold the fort until late December...or perhaps early January. Why? Because it's time for some Cuban foods.

Scrum Coming: Mustaches Ahead!November 2012
November Taqueria Visits
11/29: It's 8.75 hairy ones and chunky-style carnitas at Gordo Taq. on Clement, which falls from Position One to position three on our Mustache Chart.
11/27: Shrug all you want about our panel's affection for Tacobar's kitchen skills. Them burros at California and Fillmore are super-legit.
11/25: Taq. Can-cún on lower Mission crosses our critical finish line in nine mustaches flat. Taq. Can-cún, alright.
11/20: For the second time in three visits to Taq. El Farolito's highest-profile shop on Mission, the Little Light's kitchen can't even muster eight mustaches.
11/17: Our dunch slab at purported Scrum contender Taq. San Francisco is the venerable burritoteria's latest postseason letdown.
11/14: La Laguna Taq. almost spices us out of the building, but still manages to ratchet up nearly nine mustaches.
11/11: 8.50 mustaches represents a career high-water mark for most taquerias. For Papalote on Fulton, it represents an off-night.
11/7: Toeing the slab with 8.67-mustache grace, La Espiga de Oro tosses out the first pitch of our 2012 Slab Scrum.
11/4: La Rosa Taq. & Grill's onion-laden pastor helps the tiny slabbery debut just north of our eight-mustache equator of burrito criticism.
11/2: Previously ever-mediocre Casa Mexicana demonstrates its al pastor supremacy in Noe Valley. Who knew?
