What happened to Taqueria Cancun?

I went to Taqueria Cancun last night (the one at Mission/18th) with Jake, and found a taqueria I nearly didn’t recognize. There was no free water, and during our entire dinner, only 3 Latinos came in to eat. Instead, it was a bunch of well-dressed folks — Caucasians and Asians, mostly — plus the occasional rail-thin hipster in a striped sport coat and funky hat.

the good ol’ burrito mojado
However, the burrito mojado was as I remembered it to be, as was the nasty ambient smell, which only materialized after a yuppie asked a staff member to close the door because it was too cold outside.
Can anyone recommend a good taqueria in SOMA? I know there is a Taqueria Cancun at Market/6th, but it doesn’t seem like there are many more in the area.
“…after a yuppie asked a staff member to close the door because it was too cold outside…”
The Yuppie Grand Council wants you to know that you are not allowed to speak derisively of yuppies. They have investigated and, given the neighborhood you live in, the architectural aspects of your domicile, and the make and model of your car, they consider you to be at least nominally one of their own. They also want you to know that they’re pretty sure you’re going to get over this whole photography/diving thing and get back to programming full-time. They’re willing to wait.

What…Chevy’s on 3rd isn’t good enough for you?
I was at the Mission Cancun on Tuesday night. Somehow crammed four super tacos down my throat. All good. Don’t fret over the availability of free water…just get a beer.
Heh — Chester, I’m not saying that I’m not part of the problem.
(and NO, Chevy’s on 3rd isn’t good enough for me. ;)
