Food scene
In my opinion, Sabor has the best chilaquiles in town and it has a great atmosphere to hang out and have drinks. Great for brunch or if you're in the mood for more authentic Mexican food (Not Tex-Mex).

If you are looking for a place to have a romantic dinner, then Evo is the perfect place to go. The chef is incredible and has cooked internationally in Europe and Mexico.
It is a bit pricey relative to other restaurant options but it is definitely worth it.
They also have a speakeasy bar behind a bookshelf which is great for hanging out and having some drinks.
