Mexican/American diner. Casual and down-to-earth atmosphere and prices. Generous portions that are a bang for the buck! Our favorites: Santa Fee Chicken Salad and Spare Ribs every Friday. Very local spot, not touristy at all.

Very good coffee and pastries! Gluten-free options are available. Also, very nice back yard to sit and enjoy the sun. Our tip: take a book, treat yourself to a coffee and muffin and just forget about time.

Trendy & hip bar spot, industrial feel, relaxed atmosphere. Happy Hour: 4.00 - 6.00pm ($8-12 cocktails). Our favorite: game changer (gin, lime, cucumber, sugar, onion brine, sea salt, celery bitters). The perfect place to let the day wind down with a drink and small bites.
