Ever wonder about those chickens you see grillin' on the street when you are driving around?  Not only are they delicious but they are also pretty cheap... 2 whole chickens freshly grilled, tortillas, beans, rice, salsa for about 20 bucks.  You can find them mostly on the east and down to the south.  Exact locations are irrelevant since they move around quite a bit.  When you are driving around checking out the taco trucks, don't forget these guys!
