Its become quite difficult to find affordable food in the neighborhood and Benito's has a tasty menu of Honduran and Mexican food of just that. It's also directly across the street. Dishes run from $2.50-15. If you haven't had a papusa (or 3), I'd recommend theirs over most. The most expensive thing on the menu is the whole grilled fish but it's also my favorite.

I love sandwiches and this is one of my favorites in the whole city. It's also a quick 5 min walk away. It's in one of the many alley's in the neighborhood previously used as stables (among other things). No recommendations necessary, I like them all. The eating space is quite small so I usually order ahead and take it down the street to Lost & Found, a bar with a great beer selection (you can bring any food you want in there). Leave out the back to check out Blagden Alley, a trendy little strip of spots that opened in the past couple years.

The pizza is a little pricey ($15-20) but the pizza is quite good (Michelin star good apparently). It's an 8 minute walk.

Spanish tapas and a creative set of drinks to choose from. I have hard time not trying one of their house made Slushitos. Nothing is cheap and everything is tasty. Keep heading up the street for a wealth of additional options. I'm a fan of Bar Pilar or go have a rooftop margarita at El Centro or Masa 14.
