Caliente Mexican Taqueria

My first meal out in Guam was at Caliente Mexican Taqueria. My mom and brother frequent this hard to find restaurant in Agaña/Hagatña. We ordered the taquitos as an appetizer, it came with the thickest guacamole - which was really good and tasty!
We got the enchiladas with arroz y frijoles. The enchiladas were a bit dry and cold on the inside so we had to mix it around with the enchilada sauce to heat up the rest of the dish. 
Don't order the nachos with carnitas unless you have 3-5 other people to share it with. It comes with refried beans, cheese, carnitas and pico de gallo. I didn't really care for the onions inside.
This is how high the mountain of nachos was from the table. HUGE portions.
The overall service was great - the waitresses there are very friendly.
Prices are somewhat affordable. Definitely not the place to go for cheap and authentic Mexican food. But their happy hour specials looked pretty good - I might just go there for a drink or two.

BC Burrito & my new buddy Nate Flannigan

BC Burrito has been my go-to Mexican joint for a cheap, fast and satisfying post-grad class meal.

Once upon a finals week, some friends and I stumbled upon a tasty and affordable burrito shop on Waialae Avenue. BC Burrito, short for Big City Burrito, had about everything the broke and stressed out grad student would need - a heaping serving of carbs, hot sauce and FREE BEER!

Esta restaurante no es tan auténtico como La Bamba (en Kapahulu) o Azteca (al lado de BC Burrito), pero el medio ambiente es casual y ustedes no tienen que reservar una mesa. Todos los martes, hay música en vivo y se sirven cervezas gratis.

Aquí es mi nuevo amigo, Nate Flannigan, ¡uno de los meseros que nos sirvó muchas cervezas! Él es muy simpático y recomiendo que ustedes le deje una propina cada vez.

If you're looking for a cheap and delicious Mexican treat on a TUESDAY - accompanied by a free beer, tell Nate at BC Burrito that LATINRAMEN sent you.
