Cilantro SF Taqueria
10am-845pm

*LOOK out for their DAILY Specials*
Looking for a little Mexican food with daily specials? A no frills eatery with clean toilet and ice water tumbler on-site to meet your needs.
Orders comes with complimentary serve of corn chips with cooling and spicy sauce. The spicy sauce does have a bit of a warm heat kick to hit. So be judicious with how much you wanna lay on that spice.
Ordered On:
21Aug24
Tacos Tuesday Special USD3/piece up from USD4.15
Fajutas Beef USD16.65

Beef served with rice, refried beans, guacamole, sour cream and tortillas.
Additional tortillas goes for a USD1+
Total USD24.49 Fed 2
Pretty standard fare I'd say. By way of Tacos in comparison, its no where close to that of Los Tacos in NYC. However for the daily specials at USD3 a piece, its a bargain. The meat here doesn't have that x-factor of an aromatic char. The guacamole itself is pretty average.

Great for sharing for a simple, value bite. Great with the free flow sauces which could be more flavorsome and on-site facilities. No frills, Mexican flavors. They've got a huge selection of classically Mexican bottled drinks as well. 
 
Tanguito

11:30-6:30pm pending day
Located beside The Cod Mother Fish and Chips for pretty decent Fish and Chips.

Amazing burger and the best had to my recent recollection. Super thick, well-charred, seasoned and juicy Angus beef patty, topped with amazing stringy, full-body flavored cheese, with all the loaded trimmings and a very subtly hint of heat to bring it all together.

The whole package in my opinion with wonderful array of condiments table side to enhance the whole messy and delicious dining experience. Really recommended and the smallest finds are sometimes the best finds. Putting this down as a will return to try other stuff and eat.
ABBATip:
Ask for Cutlery. The whole thing is huge and would have been a delicious mess with just using hands.

Some of the best, easiest places are right in front of one's door step. Easy, convenient and value. I'd come back here to try their breakfast spreads, a gathering for groups and heard their pizzas were pretty good too. They are unfortunately short on selection of beef cuts with mostly rumps. Order were a little slow to cook up when we ordered at about 2pm. Took about 30mins for our orders to come thou.

Don't wanna go too far anywhere with good eats, this is the place to be. Highly recommended.
