Food Scene
This is a little gem hidden in the Central West End. It has a very non-assuming storefront and is quite literally a hole in the wall. But, truth be told, I've never had an item that I didn't enjoy. Some of my particular favorites are the pad thai, healthy fried rice, and the thai fried sweet potatoes. The service is quick and friendly and the prices are very reasonable.

Mission Taco has great seating and it's perfect for just a couple or a larger group. The service is extraordinary as well. In the warmer months, sitting or standing outside at their taco tables is great. It's a happening place and if there is a wait don't be afraid, it moves fairly fast.
Get there after 10pm to get $2 tacos and/or tequila shots!
