The fact that my pre-Covid early morning business trips from Austin to San Diego used to have me delivering a boatload of breakfast tacos from the Austin airport shows that there is an untapped market.
Ah yes, the lesser-known cousin of the Alameda-Weehawken Burrito Tunnel, the Austin-Bergstrom Breakfast Taco Canal
When we did some work for 3DO, the 3DO guys always had to come back to San Jose with something like 20 pounds of Salt Lick brisket that they would put in carry on.
I can't imagine what you had to do to clean that smell out of the overhead compartments.
Not true, it's a hypocycloid curve.

I submitted this exact link 20 days ago, and I've noticed several other precisely duplicate submissions recently. Meanwhile, sometimes I go to submit a link and I'm not allowed because there was a previous submission almost a year(!) ago. Just what the heck are the rules here?
Key differentiators:
- no fillers (no rice, no beans; beans acceptable in breakfast burritos)
- generous portions of meats
- chicken that is finished by grilling on the grill, not ropa-style pulled straight out of a dewey plastic bin
- wrap that is toasted
- wax paper wrap instead of foil (lets the burrito breathe instead of becoming damp and gooey). Also avoids the danger of accidentally biting into the foil and getting that delicious aluminium flavor.
- salsa roja cremosa
Don’t get me wrong, there’s some good places up here for other aspects of Mexican and Mexican adjacent food, but I dearly miss San Diego style burritos and haven’t found a replacement.
The answer to your question is, you can't get what you're looking for in SF, but if you're willing to drive for nearly an hour, you will find the burrito of your dreams at Adalberto's in Fairfield.
Go for the real thing - tacos. Forget burritos. They’re universally subpar.
calexico, dos toros, oaxaca
the morelos empire: 2nd and a, north 6 and bedford, grand and graham (edit: they had/have a storefront in the east village, don't remember where now but near superiority burger i believe)
also there's supposedly some legit birria trucks about, but i have not tried them. and, i don't know if anyone closed due to the pandemic.
I spent years looking for a good Mission burrito in New York City, and never found it. Lots of good food, but every burrito was Tex-Mex or San Diego style or some such. Also, I never found a place with real al pastor; it was always grilled.
