    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.

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

    Zapato means shoes in Spanish, and this is called Zapatos because the creases looks like shoe laces. True story.

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

    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).

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