Encroaching trendiness has yet to engulf this wildly popular hangout -- the immediate neighborhood is still mostly body shops and auto parts stores, a sure sign that the crowds come for the food. This step-to-the-counter place churns out a production line of flavorful staples like burritos, tostadas, and enchiladas, and there are fresh red and green house salsas to spice up the lot. Ample vegetarian menu includes surprisingly delicious butternut squash tamales.
