Food Scene
Rocky's Tacos
3111 W Montrose AveGreat authentic Mexican food on the cheap!
Delicious Colombian food and they just moved into a new building with pretty, unique decor. Try the Chicken Special. It's not on the menu but it is advertised in the front window of the restaurant. My favorite dish in the restaurant and it's less than $8 a plate. The new address is 3120 W. Montrose, but this automated system won't let me correct it from the old address, which is right across the street. About a block west of my place.

My friend from Bulgaria says this is the only place you can get good European coffee in the city. Great tea also, and they serve it on a silver tray. Yummy, unique food and baked goods. 1 1/2 miles east of my place, which is walkable or the Montrose bus will drop you off steps away.

My favorite thin-crust pizza in the city! A full menu of comfort food for carry outs as well as a gourmet menu for dining there. Steps away from my place.
