Dan Johnson of Burritophile wants to meet up at Taqueria El Castillito on Golden Gate Avenue, just a stone's throw away from City Hall. To us, this lends a lot of credibility to Dan and Co.'s Web-based burrito review service; one problem with your typical review site is you don't know how the staff's sensibilities mesh with yours. Cate Czerwinski, another editor at the site, joins us shortly after we ordered. She's actually the one who's behind the editorial review of El Castillito on the site; Cate gave it an 8 out of 10 overall. If we weren't inclined to agree we could always post our own review on Burritophile--that's the point. Burritophile offers a good, expanding mix of reviews from site staff as well as anyone else who cares to give an opinion. more ›

Did you see a Craigslist post titled "How to Rescue a Cursed Restaurant Location?" Because that is the one that Dylan MacNiven replied to when he opened Woodhouse Fish Company, across Market from the Safeway. The corner of Church and Market puzzles us: is it a big shopping and public transportation hub, with a Muni station underneath and the north-south 22 Fillmore and J lines meeting with the east-west N line. It is a gateway to the Castro, the Dolores side of the Mission, the lower Haight. It is a busy corner, even for foodies, with Home and Chow doing brisk business, and the best burrito in the city --flame away in comments, we can take it-- at El Castillito. more ›
