the mission

One of the central districts of San Francisco, CA. It is the city's Latino district. It is famous for its historic buildings, its Mission burritos (the best in Northern California), and its murals. Rich people who tour San Francisco for a limited time think that the Mission is the ghetto. That's kind of true, but the disdain some of these people take with them is unfortunate. The Mission district is large and complex, with variying socioeconomic areas, clusters of mini-communities, and several specialty stores found nowhere else. Native San Franciscans know it as one of the "cool" districts.
