With its big Mexican population this area can boast the real thing in terms of authentic flavor that you just don't get in the Tex-Mex chains. Order à la carte specialties or dinners and combos with beans and rice, and salad. Forty-three breakfast, lunch, and dinner entrées are served all day and range from Mexican eggs, enchiladas, and taco salad to stewed beef, shrimp-rancheros style, and fried-pork chop. The food is on the spicy side, and if you like more fire, each table comes prepared with fresh-tasting salsa, pickled jalapeños, and bottled habañero sauce. Clean (with lingering faint whiffs of bleach to prove it) and pleasant, with an open kitchen, take-out counter, and Formica tables, it's a favorite with locals and budget-minded guests at the hostel across the street.
