Food scene
If you want a good taste of some of the local food, they have quite a selection. I personally really enjoy their Cuban sandwich, the enchiladas, pulled pork mac and cheese, carne asada fries or their chicken and waffles! I highly recommend sitting outside on the patio during sunset. It’s also close to my house.

This is only 5 minutes from the house. This is a fantastic place to buy fresh marinated beef and chicken. Call ahead to place an order. I always order a couple pounds of their marinated chicken breast or carne asada and ask them to cook and chop it(no charge). They also can grill green onions. Then just pick up some tortillas, pico de gallo, guacamole and you can feed a party of 10 for less than $20. It’s delicious and most cost effective!

Located downtown. I highly recommend visiting this café in the historic Hotel Congress. Their entrée servings are very generous.

Located about 20 minutes away from the house—This is hands-down my favorite place for Vietnamese pho. I also highly recommend they are Vietnamese spring rolls with their peanut sauce.

Located about 20 minutes from the house. This is one of my favorite breakfast restaurants. They serve lunch or breakfast at any time until they close at 2 PM. I highly recommend the “build your own burrito” and make sure you at least add chorizo for the best flavor. Also try one of their eggs benedicts.
