According to a list compiled by LoveFood, the best Mexican restaurant in California is La Taqueria in San Francisco. This spot was revered for its authentic cuisine created using fresh, delicious ingredients and unbeatable ambiance that sets it apart from any Mexican restaurant you've ever visited.

Here's what LoveFood had to say about the absolute best Mexican restaurant in the entire state:

"Choosing the best Mexican restaurant in California, a state famed for Mexican cuisine, is a tall order. However, one restaurant that consistently delivers is La Taqueria, in San Francisco’s Mission District. Many say this legendary no-frills spot serves the best burritos in the state, packed with meat, fish, or vegetables – and with no 'fillers' like rice. The tacos are amazing, too."
