Chumikal's

3223 E. Seventh, 385-8898 Monday-Saturday, 6am-9pm
In addition to great, cheap hamburger baskets, Chumikal's sampler platter allows you to try almost everything on the menu. Pasteles are salty, deep-fried corn tortillas with shredded chicken and mild, savory stuffing much like a decadent empanada. Pupusas are masa pancakes filled with shredded pork or green chiles and cheese, like Mexican sopes turned inside out. Treat the family and order their holiday tamales by the dozen.
