Carissa Spisak
- 01
Cuantos
East Cesar Chavez · 6am-1pm · $The migas is the move, the salsa is the point, and the line moves faster than you’d think for a place that small. They remember your name on the second visit.
- 02
Vaquero Taquero
Manor Road · 7am-2pm · $Hand-made tortillas. Get the chorizo y huevo and the bistec. Don’t sleep on the sweet potato when it’s in rotation.
- 03
Veracruz All Natural
East 7th · 7am-3pm · $The migas is famous for a reason. Go before nine to skip the line. Cash gets you out faster than card.
What we considered and didn’t include

- Placeholder — write up what we considered but didn't include— Per the listicle spec, this section is required. Carissa fills in 3-5 real entries before publishing. Each entry explains why a venue we considered didn't make the list — covered recently, hours couldn't be verified, service inconsistent, etc.
