Plenty of delicious dishes hail from San Francisco: clam chowder in sourdough bread bowls, cioppino and Ghirardelli earthquake sundaes, just to name a few. But when the 49ers are playing in the Super Bowl, there’s only one kind of Golden State cuisine to serve: California-style Mexican food. From Korean-inspired tacos to carne asada burritos—with a hearty side of guacamole, of course—here are eight Super Bowl recipes that 49ers fans can’t get enough of.
