Chain restaurants seem to dominate Midway's surrounding streets. Perhaps it has something to do with the comfort of familiarity, especially when traveling somewhere new. Thankfully, most of the chains here are local ones like Zacatacos. This taqueria cooks up all the usual suspects including quesadillas (with meat or cheese), tortas, burritos and tacos. And they cook 'em up cheap. Tacos here are just $1.45 each, which is now almost the price of a plain old Hershey's candy bar. Fillings include a complete carnivorous list of char-broiled steak, marinated pork, steamed beef and homemade Mexican sausage. Zacatacos also offers meatless choices, like potato and beans with rice.

Average cost: <$10
