| - I've been coming here for their carne asada burrito since 1994.
This little place has a huge menu. From breakfast, burgers, mexican food, gyros, cheesesteaks, and...ribeye steak? The burgers are average but the combo deal is a good value. I'm not a fan of the deep-fried items but you get a lot of it. The pastrami is big, tasty and greasy (mmm, grease). The cosmopolitan cheesesteak is nicely seared and seasoned well.
Their version of the carne asada burrito is massive. The savory cuts of meat are seared on the griddle and then mixed in with some tomatoes and green peppers. A nice amount of cheese and some lettuce top it off. It comes with a green chili salsa with just enough bite and when added to the burrito makes it super flavorful. It's one of the most satisfying, consistently-consistent, inexpensive, comfort-sort of foods I've ever had. It's less than $7. You will find a gristle or two in the meat. If you get it to-go, rotate the burrito every 5-10 minutes. The juices will settle to one side and make it soggy, but tasty, mess.
It does get busy during the week at breakfast and lunch and there's nothing in the way of ambiance or decor - their specials are on signs all over. The counter-service takes only cash but it's quick and to-the-point.
