Yes, it's a neighborhood dive, but when people start talking about a burrito that costs less than $5 as expensive, it's safe to say you've found a cheap-eats palace.

The carne asada burrito is a must, doused in the homemade hot sauce. $1 tacos aren't just a happy hour special, either; it's all the time, and they're completely addictive. Brush up on your Spanish (or even Spanglish) to get any special requests across to the staff.
