Pocketful of change? El Charrito has you covered. Spend less than a buck on the best churros in town, and if you’ve got a few more, go for the best handmade tortillas, which you can buy alone or stuffed with fine meats and salsas. Choices range from excellent carne asada burritos ($3.25) to thick tortas ($5.93). But cheap and delicious does come with a cost: Be prepared to wait in line.
