Taqueria Guerrero

For whatever reason there seem to be quite a few good Mexican places around Sprague in the Valley. Why, I don't know, but that's how it is, and I'm pretty OK with that. When in the Valley, there is good to have some safe harbors to seek refuge.

We have considered Guerrero to be SpoCOOL for a while here, and I will gladly stand up in a court of law, attesting their tortas are the best in town. I'm not sure where they get their bread from, but it's very good, and the selection of the Mexican style sandwiches is one of the largest in town. This is a good thing if you want more choice than simply carne asada or carnitas. Prefer pineapple? Then go for it.

The vegetarian burritos are great too. It's not often I'd go with a vegetarian option over meat in a Mexican restaurant—I feel sorry for those poor souls who have to do so—but at Guerrero I'm in a conundrum. 

Of course, there are also plenty of steak dinners to choose from. I like the steak ranchero which is nice and spicy, and affordable too.

In fact, everything is affordable at Guerrero. Two for under $10 is completely possible. This might be one of the cheapest lunches in town that also is glorious. And it is.
