Okay, so everyone probably knows about El Torrito, a chain
of pretty decent (for the east coast) Mexican restuarants.  I'm
amazed though how little I spend there for the food I get.  Without
alchohol, two can get out of there for under $20. The place seems to 
be making its money on margaritas.

There are two points not so well know about the place. 

1)  There is a delicious black bean soup served there that was
omitted from the menu.  I noticed it on a table while being seated
and asked the waiter about it.

2)  They have and serve full industrial strength Chipolte sauce on
request.  If you don't order "native" at Thai restuarants, go easy
on this stuff.  It is a tasty chile-barbecue sauce with a deep slow
burn.  I recommend it on the steak fajitas.

They were kind enough to sell me a pint of Chipolte for $2.  It is
wonderful on barbecue'd meats.
