Best tacos in town... The rivalry is between this place and Big Star up the street. I prefer this place because of its nontraditional twist. YUM.

Tacos. Really highly rated and somewhat overhyped taco place. People like the outdoor patio and drinks more than the food. It's very lively. A table for dinner can be 1.5 hour wait.

This hole-in-wall has a secret: it has the BEST BURGERS in town. They use Slagel Farms beef, which is used by many of the high-end restaurants, but for a much more reasonable price. If you want to watch some sports and experience the casual neighborhood vibe, this is the place. We've had guests who claim Mac's burgers are better than Au Cheval's.
