8. Tostada
Anyone who frequents downtown knows that you can’t have a best dishes and not mention a staple of downtown’s eateries: No Problemo. I’ve been eating there since it opened and it is certainly a frequent destination. Massive portions of quickly served food that won’t break the wallet? Yeah, I’m in. It was soul torture to have to select on item on the menu, since I love so many. The painfully delectable Diablo, the delicious plaintain quesadilla, the exquisite Miss America. *sigh* However, nine times out of ten when I go, I order my favorite: the Tostada.

No Problemo’s Tostada – Bigger than your head!

While traditionally served in a tortilla shell as a plate, instead No Problemo serves it in a ceramic bow and rings it with multi-colored tortilla chips. The less messy, modern version. While I can’t imagine having to describe it because people exist that have not had it, let’s do that. Their tostada starts with a warm bed of black beans. They use a specific type of rice, which I am unsure of. There is plenty of fresh green leaf lettuce, scallions, cucumbers, salsa, cheese, and red peppers. A dab of sour cream goes on top and optionally you can add the Guacamole, which I always do. It is accompanied with a small tub of Cilantro Lime dressing that is out of this world.

No Problemo offers it in two sizes, small and regular. The “regular” is a bowl that is bigger than your head. Not as big as your head. Bigger. For $7.50 you eat not only one of the best dishes on earth, but one of the healthiest, and you won’t need to eat for another 8 hours. What’s the problemo with that?!
