This is a few extra blocks, but straight down Washington (head east)! Great Mexican food. You will not regret it. It's also fine to drive, of course.

I'm not sure why this is listed as a liquor store. Grove stone sells truly special olive oil and balsamic vinegar made in on the owners family olive Grove in Greece! trust me, it's worth a quick drive down Kirby avenue to the Old Farm shops in Champaign.

while you're at old farm shops buying olive oil at Grove stone, order a delicious sandwich at Cheese and Crackers. It's worth the few minutes it takes for them to put it together in this old fashioned style deli.
