El Michoacano

No-fuss Mexican place with televisions playing telenovelas and news in Spanish. Come for the cheap tacos, or splurge an extra few dimes each on the tostadas, which come on a crispy fried disk. Other choices include burritos, sincronizadas – Mexican ham-and-cheese melts – and breakfast specials such as huevos rancheros. The service is almost immediate, and orders come with a plate of chips slathered with warm refried beans and sprinkled with cheese, and a bowl of carrot and jalapeno slices.
