well, the question was, "close by" "bite to eat" and "not too expensive"...fits the criteria.

I love The Saloon, a few doors up from Ben's.  Great grilled cheese and reubens.  
 
 Polly's is also great, but that place got expensive for what it is....  Both, though, are on U Street east of 14th.

There's a place across the street from Ben's Chili Bowl called "Duke's Lounge" or something like that (I'm sure on the Duke part) that's reasonably priced (entrees around $10) that was very classy actually and quite good. I would reccommend it highly.

Has anyone been recently? I used to enjoy it, but the last two times there were horrible and expensive. I'd rather go to lauriol plaza its food is unquantifiably better and it is cheaper.

Lauriol Plaza is TERRIBLE. Save yourself some time and money. I would suggest Oohs and Aahhs, which is on 10th and U.

Ditto on the Polly's part.  I'd go for beer, but not to eat.  And it's a shame, they had my very favorite turkey burgers for a while.
 
 Lauriol?  I'm surprised....though makes for a good midday hungover brunch spot (no lines between 2 and 4 -- waiting an hour for that place is insane).

How so?
 
 I guess I have only been to somewhere around 10 different mexican restaurants in my life. Lauriol so far has been the best and one of the least expensive. Sometime you have to wait, sometimes your waiter is very busy, otherwise.......?

I try and find times when it wont be busy..... If there is a wait I just go and get a corona and some chips and salsa and then enjoy the scenery.
 
 Sometimes it is worth the wait to sit outside, relax, polish off a pitcher of Margarita....

I have told you this before, you think it is good because you dont really like mexican food, you like their version of it, it is probably better than most  Mexican places in England
