Mission District, San Francisco | History, Homes & La Taqueria with Miguel Jara

The Mission District is San Francisco’s oldest neighborhood, founded with Mission Dolores in 1776. Over centuries, it’s grown into a hub of culture, history, and community. Real estate here is a mix of Victorian and Edwardian architecture, colorful murals, and modern infill housing. You’ll find stucco façades, flat-front buildings, and converted mixed-use spaces that reflect the area’s working-class roots. The Mission is also home to many multigenerational households — families who have lived here for decades — and is being reshaped by the tech industry’s influence, with new condos and development blending into historic streets. In this episode of American Dream TV, I sit down with Miguel Jara, owner of La Taqueria, a Mission landmark. Miguel shares his family story and how his mom’s original green salsa recipe became a San Francisco favorite. ✨ My go-to? The crispy super vegetarian tacos with plenty of that famous green salsa. 🌮💚 Come explore the history, housing, and flavors that make the Mission District one of San Francisco’s most iconic neighborhoods.
