Taqueria Can-Cún

Paper banners and burritos past midnight

Open secret · Good for midday, evening and late

Opened in 1991 at Market and Sixth, then spread to the Mission, where this spot on Mission at 19th is the one people know. Paper banners overhead, long tables up front, and hours that run well past midnight, so the crowd changes shape as the night goes on.

OrderThe burrito mojado, smothered in sauce. Budget twenty minutes.

Last checked 2026-10. Hours change, so check before you go.
