arlington needs soup... and indian

 Since I just finished chowing down their burrito 10 minutes ago, am
 still drinking Jarritos Tamarind soda, and since I've had Jose's
 several times I can voice my opinion. They are both OK. The choices
 are kinda limited, place is small, no alcohol, mostly takeout. Quality
 is good, but for lunch it's mostly burritos with not much else.
 I much prefer to take a drive to Union square where Taqueria (sp?)
 offers more of an authentic, cheap cuisine with more choices. And I
 work on Broadway, only 1/2 away from Olde Mexican.
 BTW, while on the subject of lunch places, I like New Asia chinese
 quite a lot. Inexpensive, clean, prompt and tasty.

 It's roughly a quarter-mile outside of Arlington Center. Leave the plaza
 in the Center onto Broadway and look for it on the left-hand side of the
 street; it's one of the first commercial enterprises you'll see. If you go
 by Friendly's, you've passed it.
