I live near downtown because I love it. That's why I opened my shop there! Let me share a list of my favorite places to get a bite to eat in this fantastic city. Updated August 2026!

Cascabel Mexican Patio - RIP :(
Mexican food, not Tex-Mex - I highly recommend the enmoladas

Bliss
New American, a little fancy, go here when you want to treat yourself
