    What does an Antone's red, bag of chips, and a bag of stuffed Greek olives cost down there now?

    OK, that put me over the edge. Anyone wanna pick me up either an Antone's sammich or one of those Vietnamese ones and deliver it to 3050 Post Oak Blvd?

    Thanks!

    Best Indian food on a budget in Houston

    Bombay Sweet's 5.99 Buffet is top notch. Also the dosa and channa batura is the finest in the city.

    On a side not, ironically Bombay Sweets is not the best place for sweet Mithai because that distinction in my opinion goes to Sher-e-Punjab.

    Well, if I'm cooking, this is easy...Migas...$0.99 for corn tortillas...$0.99 for eggs...butter, $0.99...

    If I had to buy, well then I'd say go to Taqueria Arandas and get their breakfast...$2.28 before 11, $4.28 after 11...mmm...

    Thats a meal for the whole family! Buffet style since there are so many Ramen flavors. The creator of Ramen was a genius.

    Remember when Chalupas from taco bell were 99 cents? I don't either but it'd be really cool if they put that in their dollar menu (do they have one?).

    Taco Bell has a value menu. Everything on it ranges from $.99-1.29.

    The Beef and Potato Burrito is still pretty good value. It definitely fills you up.

    Dude Givrals is horrible.

    If you are in down Town go to Thien An on Travis. It is right after Elgin on the right hand sided whiel you head North.

    One of my frined's family owns it. it is packed every day of the week and the service is great. And man the food... it rocks.

    Go to the place I mentioned ealier. You don't want one if it is not from Down Town, Veteran Memorial or Bellaire china town. Those are the Vitenamese hotspots.

    Pho Saigon does not sell them.

    You need to find place that advertises that they sell them or is a Vietnamese bakery.

    Places in downtown that have them

    Cali Sandwiches- they have gone down hill in the last few years
    Pho Bui near Enron- Overpriced and not that great but you can walk there while in DT.
    Thien An - Best I have had outside of Bellaire. They have all the odd Vietnamese meats as well as BBQ pork, chicken and beef. Beef is pretty hard to find.

    Mama's Poboys used to have an awesome falafel sandwich for under 5 bucks. Sadly they closed a year or two ago.
