Just flying beneath the radar, it offers cheap eats. Homey and with a friendly staff, the typical burrito is large and fairly well made. They are new, so they are still working on the menu. They need to work on a few things- namely the food is good and basic but it needs some spicing up - some cilantrro, a little heat, and you've got a great deal.

It's $10 for a manicure, a very serviceable nail salon.
