After scientists revealed UFOs were actually full-grown tortillas, people everywhere filled swimming pools with guac and beans to catch and dissect the floury creatures. Nab a tender baby disc with today's Groupon for upscale Mexican cuisine from Salsa Latina on Central Avenue. Choose between the following two options:

• For $6, you get $12 worth of lunch fare.
• For $10, you get $20 worth of dinner dishes.

Salsa Latina's buzzing kitchen prepares dozens of entrees with stacked burritos, enchiladas, and quesadillas while patrons slide into their booths, crunch on salty chips, and prepare for a hearty meal. Like an immortal sensing another of his kind, appetites tingle for On the Border fajitas ($17.25), which come in a steaming skillet of tossed shrimp, beef, and chicken with bell peppers, onions, and tomatoes, or the bistec salteado ($15.25), a sliced steak served with rice, sweet plantains, and fried cassava. Vegetarian options include the spinach cream burrito ($10.25), ideal for herbivores and herbivoyeurs alike. Drizzled with chocolate and garnished with a strawberry, a slice of tres leches ($3.95) adds a sweet finish to any temporally grounded meal.

• Authentic food. Great portions. Everything is fresh. I love the bendejita tipica. Give it a try. – P J Jones, Urbanspoon
• I appreciated that the menu has some more traditional appearing items on it; one of which I chose tonight, the Sancocho de Gallina. It was very much like something you would be served in someones home - very rustic but ever so flavorful. – Allison L., Yelp
