Best Tortilla Soup

Romi's

Tortilla soup, not just the movie, is good for both body and soul, and Romi's serves up the best bowl in town. Any doubts to the quality or popularity of this tiny southside joint's golden nectar can be squelched by a quick look around the dining room. Practically every table has at least one order of tortilla soup. Chock-full of avocados, tomatoes, chiles, white cheese and, of course, tortilla chips, Romi's tortilla soup will restore your faith in humanity, or at least chicken soup. It comes in two sizes (small, $2.75, and large, $5.50; add chicken for $1). Feel free to dump in more chips or one of the two types of salsa offered at each table. Other menu selections are also way good, especially the carne asada tacos. Hours are limited to 11a.m.-3 p.m. Monday-Friday.
