UNIVERSITY DISTRICT. Ask most anybody where you can find Seattle's best burritos, and they'll likely point you in the direction of this cozy gem. Sporting traditional "restaurante" style multi-hued walls of pink, yellow and blue, themed murals and festive decor Burrito Loco offers up fabulous homemade Mexican dishes. At lunch and dinner, locals flock here to sample such favorites as shrimp and pork tacos, but Loco's true star is its chicken enchilada, which arrives covered in one of their spicy special sauces. Best of all, prices are more than reasonable. Reservations suggested for groups of ten or more.

CAPITOL HILL. Choose one of Dick's five locations and return to the days of the '50s when you drive up to this fast food establishment. Burgers, fries, and shakes are ordered and eaten in the very same spot your car. Burgers are always prepared the same way (no special orders accepted), and fries are consistently hot (no kidding). Plus, prices are pleasantly affordable, and the place stays open late.

INTERNATIONAL DISTRICT. This International District eatery makes up for its small interior and lack of decor with heaping portions of enticing Vietnamese noodles and meat dishes. Bring a group of friends to share plates like sizzling stir-frys, loaded with your choice of meat, veggies, nuts, and vermicelli noodles. Spicy beef soup and steamed rice cakes topped with ground shrimp and scallions are also popular, and the wide assortment of sauces and chili pastes that arrive with your meal allow you to customize it. Best of all, most of the entrees are around $6 or $7.

GREENWOOD. Mae's basic premise is: American food served amid cow memorabilia of all kinds. The bovine-themed eatery serves just the kind of dishes you'd expect from America's heartland burgers, homemade soups, and lots of salads. As far as breakfast fare goes, they're famous for "Shake and Eggs" combinations two eggs, hash browns, toast, and a milkshake! Also a great weekend spot; just remember to arrive early to avoid lines.

BELLTOWN. Lights hung by barbed wire, alternative background music, and multicolored walls contribute to the lively atmosphere at this popular restaurant. A young, trendy crowd often holds court, enjoying the pan-Asian cuisine. Vegetarian options such as Japanese-style eggplant, and tofu characterize the menu, but there's also plenty of meat: chicken, pork, and even catfish are here. The friendly staff will gladly offer suggestions. Come early to get a seat this place fills up fast.

SODO. Trying to figure out where to find the best barbecue on your world travels? This casual eatery should climb its way to the top of your list, as it has that of folks in Seattle. Have them pile a bun full of pork, beef, or ham, and top it off with a drizzle of sauce for the best eating. If you like "hot" foods, just be careful their hot sauce makes others pale in comparison. Along with everthing else, make sure to try the yummy baked beans too. The eatery is essentially an order window with outdoor tables, so don't expect sit-down service. This is barbecue, after all. Near the baseball stadium.

PIONEER SQUARE. For great Italian sausages, salamis, meatballs, or pork, try Salumi, whose name means "dry-cured meat" in Italian. Meats can be purchased individually as an entree or by the pound as deli take-away. If you prefer a lighter, less meat-intensive meal, order a salad, vegetable dish, or one of their pastas. A comfortable interior with tin ceilings and wooden floors makes guests feel at home, as does a large communal table where guests can share conversation with their meals. Wine is available by the glass or bottle.

DOWNTOWN. This bright, funky eatery dishes up hearty portions of European-inspired fare, from focaccia sandwiches (with roma tomatoes and eggplant, ham and cheese, and more) to soups and salads with international flair. The menu includes many vegetarian selections as well. If you're around for breakfast, indulge in their flatbread sandwiches, which boast perfectly cooked eggs, Black Forest ham, and Tillamook cheddar. The eponymous Jacobi sisters are not only welcoming and friendly, but they're expert cooks to boot!
