    Good Mexican food. They'll ask you for your choice of beans, meat and salsa (spicy or mild). Their sister restaurant pancho villa is a block and a half away and has more meat choices. Both are good.

    Really a downer that $1 Taco Happy Hour(3-5pm, M to F) doesn't include Fish Tacos. Pancho Villa, a related Taqueria around the corner does for an added 75 cents.

    Super veggie burrito. Horchata. Excellent. I'm visiting, and so far this is the best burrito I've had.

    Good local place for tacos. Not the best in the city, but when you have no cash and you want a quick bite, this is the place to go.

    Good food. The portions are huge! So if you can, share with someone. You'll both get full and save some cash.

    Not stated on the menu, but burritos include a bag of chips. Don't forget to hit the salsa bar!

    Burritos are awesome. I like the fast service and I am always satisfied when I leave. Parking in the area is a b*tch.
