Byrne Reflection

David Byrne uses his bicycle not only as a means of transportation, but as a way to tour San Francisco while not appearing to be a visitor at all. He briefly mentions Taqueria Cancun, a very interesting restaurant in an even more interesting neighborhood; the mission.

Taqueria Cancun represents a San Francisco of the past, an establishment since the 60’s in a once predominantly Latin neighborhood, now associated with gentrification and homelessness. There’s so much more to the place than what Byrne brings up, he fails to mention that the restaurant has been in deep conflict with about 5 identical taco shops within a 2 block radius for more than 50 years. The now incredibly diverse neighborhood has not failed to support Cancun, with constant lines out the door for their famed food. Every person has their own favorite of the mission burrito joints, and Cancun has some of the most dedicated fans around. The restaurant itself is fast paced, you order as fast as you can and hurry up and wait to hear your number called for your food. Inside looks fairly similar to any other restaurant but outside you would think the place hasn’t been cleaned for years, and the streets as well. The encompassing block looks like one of San Franciscos dirtiest streets, a quality the restaurant has taken on with pride. The idea that the place could look so painfully average and have such good original food surprises many people, especially tourists. Thats one place where Byrne lacks in his description, he simply mentions that he visited the place, leaving out the look of it all and most importantly the food. The neighborhood today is mostly younger entrepreneurs working in tech and driving the cost of rent up for the rest of us. Even though the neighborhood vastly differed from what it was 60 years ago, the restaurant has continued to be popular amongst the new residents. A very diverse restaurant in an even more diverse and lively neighborhood was simply mentioned in passing by Byrne, but there’s so much more to the place than its name.
