Food Scene
Our go-to Mexican restaurant. Family-run, friendly staff, stiff margaritas, and a solid menu of typical Mexican restaurant dishes. Make sure you tip the Mariachis. A dollar is sufficient. Sunday brunch here is always satisfying, though they don't open until 11am.

Delicious Thai/Burmese food. Everything on the menu is $7 or less; no alcohol served or allowed. Tiny, hole-in-the-wall run by fast-talking Asian ladies. Service is not all that friendly, but the food is worth it. The chicken noodle soup is addictive - made with coconut milk and fish sauce. The tea salad is crunchy and satisfying, and their tofu is fried perfectly. Avoid lunch and dinner hour, as you'll never get a seat.

Drinks & Nightlife
Punk dive bar where the locals hang out with their dogs. Huge beer selection and decent prices on pints. Good place to catch a ballgame if you want to avoid big screens and bigger crowds. Free popcorn, and an outdoor smoking patio.
