    Oh, yeah? Well, you stole my "They're real, and they're spectacular" line in the Seinfeld girlfriend thread. :)

    Collina's lunch sized pizza comes close. They sell a great 8" pizza for $5.99.

    Sadly, I can't do the pizza thing on Atkins =)

    Been to the new & improved Taqueria yet? Will definitely take some getting used to, but a full bar helps ease the pain.

    Where's Santong Snacks?

    Yes I have. Much nicer surroundings and the same good cheap taqueria food. Santong Snacks is at 9384 Bellaire Blvd, in the same strip mall where Tan Tan is located. It's only got about 10 tables in it and is cash only, but the dumplings and soups are to die for. I will be there often as the weather gets colder. For reviews on it, follow this link to B-4-U-Eat.com, the premier Houston restaurant review database...reviews from regular people rather than the Chronicle or the Press:

    There's an excellent Vietnamese sandwich shop in the My Hoa (heheh) shopping center on Bellaire and Synott. It's called Them Ga Vit or something like that. Sandwiches are only $2.50 including tax.
