It doesn't have to be fancy for me, it just has to be good - or at least as good as it cost.
I've never eaten anything on 5th that was any better than completely adequate or thoroughly mediocre. I've had some good meals quite close to 5th, but none that I'd describe as good on 5th. I've had some terrific drinks on first. Maybe if I'd had the drinks first I'd have thought that the food was better.
Off the top of my head, I like la Pesca, El Fogon, HCM, Pastorcitas, Dr. Taco, and of course, the Bloody Chicas. If I could have any of those in my neighborhood at home, I'd be in hog heaven.

Despite my best intentions over my last four or five trips, I *STILL* have not made it down to Casa Mediterana, although many people (including the pope) tell me its quite good. Its in a little courtyard right off of the east side of 5th, somewhere around 6th or 8th street.
