Burritopedia
09:38 PMA friend sent me an email with the news that wacky musician, Futurama guest star, and under-the-radar Sc***tologist Beck was recently spotted strumming at a taqueria in the Mission, but more interesting was the referenced link: Burritoeater, a shockingly comprehensive guide to San Francisco taquerias.
You can find them by alphabet, rating, or neighborhood. There are descriptions, pictures, reviews (on a 10-mustache scale), and the most recent health ratings. And of course the monthly newsletter, the Intestinal Apocalypse Monthly.
I can't say I'm down with the Burritoeater's opinions, though; he gives my favorite neighborhood source, Azteca, a mere 6 mustaches, and my former neighborhood source, my beloved Chino's, an insulting 5. Maybe it's a spice thang. Still, as far as the site's reviews go, looks like I'll have to apply the Mick LaSalle*/Ebert & (Especially) Roeper Inversion Principle: if the review is bad, the real thing is probably good, and vice versa.
Also, despite a nice simple all-CSS design, the website loses a mustache in my eyes** for not marking its links as links in any way; you've just got to guess, or roll your mouse around randomly, to find out which things are links and which are just words. Maybe they show up if you spill salsa on them.
