Cheap Eats: "Los Hermanos" Marina Mexican Feast
I'll admit it. I'm a sucker for a burrito. Even those new fangled ones (anyone remember World Wraps?) So when I find one of those filled treats, I want to let you know. A great burrito awaits for you at Los Hermanos Mexican Food (2026 Chestnut Street at Fillmore). If you need a Hungry Man kinda meal, their Super Chicken Burrito($5.95) hits the spot. Loaded with chicken, your choice of beans, salsa, guac, sour cream (I skip that) and salsa, this burrito makes me happy. I also recommend the simple Chicken & Rice burrito ($4.85). The chicken is flavorful and has just a hint of spice. While the salsa is fresh made, it doesn't have the sting of other salsas. For you nachos fan (and who isn't?), try the Super Nachos ($5.65, with meat $6.75). A big 'ol pile of chips, cheese and chicken. The cheese isn't overpowering or have that "processed cheese" taste. For drinks, try the Jumex Nectar ($1.40). Straight from Mexico, this stuff is the best. Don't know what's in it (hopefully nectar), but it tastes better than the American stuff.
Parking is a bitch. It's the Marina...what did you expect? They've got a friendly staff who have been there for over 20 years.They're open till 9:30 PM Monday thru Saturday. My advice - go late on a week night and get parking and some good chow. Even burritophile.com (yes...I do not make that up) raves. But now you're in on the secret!

A native of Frisco (yes..natives can say that), Dan knows the streets of San Fran like the back of his hand. He trolls the city finding the places you need to know about and some things that are pretty useless. Each week, Dan finds the hidden SF full of bargins and best bites that city folk need to know about. As a marketing director, he lives in a nice apartment with TiVo and a dog named Yukon. He loves a good time, good friends, good imported draft beer, and a good city. Welcome to his world.
