    Their hand-pattied, drive-in style cheeseburger is among the best in the city for the price.

    Don't miss the zapatos (panini pressed burritos). Also they always have great beers on tap.

    I was there at the lunch time, and the line was reaching out the entrance door, yet it went very fast, and I got my burger in 20 min.

    Cheap awesome food and beer selection.the Como Se llama is like a Taco Bell double-decker but way better. Guacamole is delicious!

    The 'Rolls Royce' zapato, the 'Como se llama' and the Ahí Tuna taco are the best

    Zapatos are so delicious. Especially, I loved the vegetarian one. The portion is really big.

    Skip the tacos, go for the loaded fries with guac and cheese. Order up front and then seat yourself, cash only

    iPhone 5 chargers built into the tables, slushy sangria, and amaze balls tacos. What's not to love? CASH ONLY!

    You won't earn any miles or points here. The only points you will earn will be for checking in on Foursquare because it's cash only!

    Pete's No Meat is a killer vegetarian choice. Ask for black beans instead of refried and you're good to go!

    For vegetarians- the no meat zapato is great! Maybe have it with fries on the side for a fuller meal.

    If you're trying to avoid something too messy, stay away from the ahi burger. Delicious, but nearly impossible to eat without covering your face and hands with slaw.

    Crazy Dave's Double is very good. The chips are good too- very thinly sliced. (Not fries).

    Zapat-yo self on the back. You made the right choice. Cali-steak if you're like my wife and can't make decisions 😬
