Food Scene
Some of the best Mexican food in the area! A strong recommendation! There usually is a wait during prime hours, however. Kill some time by enjoying some of their amazing frozen margaritas!

Our favorite Thai place. Delivery and pickup are great, but we also like eating in the restaurant. It's very beautiful inside. The food is fantastic, never a wait, and well priced.
