    It's like a burrito but flatter. Get the surfer leo or the cali steak (or both?)

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

    Burritos are called Zapatos here, the California Steak Zapato is the way to go.

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

    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.
