hidden gems?

Two weeks ago I stumbled upon a very small indian takeout place that that is only open on weekdays, between 11 and 5 (Guru, up on Broadway, 5 blocks north from Teele)). The food is heavenly, but they do not advertise their existence at all.

I wonder if there are any other very small places I should know about that are similar - great food at cheap prices, zero advertising?

I also like the Mexican place in Union Square, near The Independent. But I don't remember its name!

Taqueria La Mexicana. And it is awesome.

Great Thai Chef isn't bad, either. I don't know why anyone ever eats at the Independent.

And while we're talking about Union Square, Macchu Picchu moved but didn't have a sign indicating where their new digs were the last time I was walking around there--it's around the corner to the left of the original site.

I need to check that place out. Why does the sign say (in Spanish) that it is a 'Tourist Restaurant' ?

Love Taqueria la Mexicana

I heartily second this rec ... try the nachos with carnitas some day. SO good. I brought some of their tamales to a Cinco de Mayo party and they were a hit. Nice people, too.
