Be sure to make a reservation for this place because it's usually busy. Get the puffy potatoes. You won't regret it! It's a small plates/tapas style restaurant but the pasta dishes usually offer quite a bit of food.

There's a secret menu for this place if you google it. Get the trailer park taco, trashy style. And be sure to grab some queso here! It's always busy, so a pro tip: call ahead and order to go, pick it up and eat it there :)

Best BBQ I've ever had. But you have to get up early and wait in line. Recommended to get there by 8am or so. Bring chairs and a cooler of beverages to keep you company while you wait!
