I first went to La Vaca on the Ave (a location that has since closed). I have basically only ever ordered one thing from them - the vegetarian burrito with mole sauce. But it is absolutely delicious. Big, with tomatoes, salsa, lettuce, beans, cheese, and rice, and perfect mole sauce (not too sweet, not too bitter). It'll run you just under $4.50 for this burrito. There doesn't seem to be much cheap food downtown, so I definitely recommend this place for your wallet as well as for the big tasty portions.

La Vaca consists of little more than a window in a wall on the side of the Marketplace Newsstand Area. Once would think something with such a tiny little space in there would not be capable of such greatness but they are beyond competent. After my first time eating there probably 12 years ago I found out they had other locations and got litterally hooked. I was eating there once a week. Since then one of their locations was closed and recently I ate at the University District location and it was HORRIBLE. The market location has always remained unchanged however. They make a darn fine burrito. I highly recommend their Chicken Mole burrittos!
