The Mission District — Murals, Dolores Park & the San Francisco Burrito

The Mission District — the historically Latino neighbourhood of eastern San Francisco, centered on Mission Dolores (the oldest surviving building in San Francisco, established 1776 simultaneously with the Presidio as the sixth in the chain of California missions) and today the most culturally diverse and artistically vibrant neighbourhood in the city — is the birthplace of the Mission burrito (the enormous foil-wrapped rice-and-beans burrito developed in the 1960s by restaurants on Mission Street as a full meal in a tortilla).
