Ok, so you get 6 heads of romaine lettuce, but for $3.79 a pack, it’s worth your time to call up a few other salad loving co-workers or roommates to get this. I bought a pack of the romaine lettuce with a co-worker, I ended up paying $1.90 (including tax) for 3 heads. Yes, that means I’m planning on eating a ton of salad this week but I needed to anyway.

Brother’s Restaurant
4128 Geary Blvd
San Francisco, CA 94101
(415) 387-7991

If you’re looking for some cheap eats around lunchtime, the famous Brother’s Restaurant on Geary has a daily lunch special where you can get chicken, pork, or beef bulgogi (that’s Korean BBQ) for $7.95. That’s a little more than I usually pay for food but you have to remember that in general, Korean food is going to be more expensive than the real cheap eats which usually fall into the Chinese or Mexican food categories.

Note what $7.95 gets you:

Wow, I rarely crossover my Yelp reviews with my Grubgirl reviews, but…this one gets posted in both places. Why? Humongous (2-3 lbs) regular burritos with tons of pretty good carne asada in it, for how much? $4.20, folks.

And, these burritos include what other restaurants would consider “only good for Super Burritos”: lettuce, sour cream, and tomatoes. Wow. Too bad there isn’t one closer to my ‘hood otherwise they’d be giving El Burrito Express some competition!
