    Some of the best carne asada fries you'll find in The Bay Area. Sounds weird, but true!

    The Dave's Double is meaty, greasy, sloppy, and everything you want in a burger.

    Fried chicken sandwich is legit. Beer is a little expensive but worth it.

    Cali steak Zapato was good and the fish taco was just ok. Lines can be long though so prepare for a wait!

    Great food with unassuming store front. Arrive before 12 for lunch, the line gets long.

    You can charge your iPhone 5 at the tables. Go with a single patty burger instead of the double. Meat to cheese ratio too high.
