Here are a few great things about this spot:

Wait, I just got done typing it up, so let me rephrase:

Here are six great things about this spot:

01) If they're not busy, they'll make you a breakfast sandwich anytime you'd like. This is crucial for me since I'm addicted to breakfast sandwiches, and Loncheria Lupita makes a great one. Lots of yummy, melty white Mexican cheese please.

02) They're cheap!

03) Don't they sell beer now? I'm almost certain of it. I'll have to check after work today since they're right around the corner from my apartment and get back to everybody.

04) They're cash only, but it also means the Italian Market gets another much-needed ATM.

05) They almost always have those novellas on the TV, and even without captions, they're hilaaaaaaaarious.

06) They're open until 11:00pm on weekdays! Before these fine folks opened up, do you have any idea how many nights I spent starving, suckling on the last remaining stale Corn Flakes from the bottom of the box while sitting supine on my kitchen floor weeping, just because every other shop on 9th Street closes at like 5pm? Zero, but inside, in my heart, a million.

Seriously, breakfast sandwiches anytime.

Yes.

Hot.  Taco.  Love!  Actual information to follow.

Edit:  I got yer following information right here!

So yeah, you know I get up on some Mexican, so yesterday I trundled through the Italian Market muttering TACO TACO TACO, willing it to appear.  And appear it did!  Loncheria?  That sounds like luncheria, and I was in the market for lunch, so it was a done deal!

Now, I prefer it taqueria style where you order at the counter, get your food, pay and sit down then.  Here they bring you a menu, and it's all waitress style.  But maybe they'll ditch that format.  It is a newish place after all.

Though I was extreeemely tempted by the tortas, or perhaps even a quesadilla, I went to Taco Town instead.  3 for $5.50?  i'm IN.  However, I wanted 1 "bisteck" (carne asada?) and 2 carnitas, and instead I got 3 beef.  Boo, but whatever.  These were some macho tacos, with pieces of beef that were large, but not too big to make eating the thing messy.  With spicy tomatillo salsa, these were soooooo nommy.  However, they are possibly the greasiest tacos I have ever eaten.  It was kind of weird, actually.  I was already dastardly full halfway through the third taco, but that of course didn't stop me from demolishing it, and further upping my cholesterol.

I am so gonna get up on this place on regular basis.  You should too, fatty!
