Food scene
Unbelievably good mexican. Definitely try a Huarache, with all fixings (cheese, cilantro, and onions). The tinga (chicken) and carne asada (beef) are good options for meet. Poblano peppers are great for vegitarians. My highest recommendation--but eat there for best experience

Great inexpensive Indian food. Dine-in is better than take-out. Try a biryani dish (I like chicken chili and lamb).
