Breakfast or Lunch: If your wanting good authentic Mexican food and some Pan Dulce, look just around the corner in the hood. This is one of my favorites. Excellent service and food is delicious! Try their Chilaquiles scrambled plate. So good! Not open Sunday’s.

Comfort food. This is a fun outdoor place, small menu but everything is good. They have swings that are right along the river and picnic tables. Quite the selection of draft beer

This is in the King William District which is the other end of downtown but only a few extra miles away. Outdoor eating place. Great menu selection, tacos, nachos, beer. The double decker bus passes in front every so often and you must be friendly and waive. They have a brand new play area for the kids.

Yes, there is a tree growing through the middle of this Historic crooked house. This is by far my favorite go to place. Steak, Seafood, Burgers... you name it. The chicken fried steak is delicious, I love the Anticucho Kabobs. Their chips are addicting, so grab you some chips and queso, its amazing.
