Mexican? Sure, and Cactus is a slightly higher-brow taco than a food truck. But well worth it for a great lunch or early dinner. The Shrimp Tacos.

This is a newer place, but looks like it will be pretty amazing when finished. It's a outdoor space with multiple locations inside. Worth a visit for beer and pub food.

BEST BURGERS!!! Seriously, this is not just good for Antigua, the burgers here are world-class. Try "La Nueva" with blue cheese. The hand cut chips are perfect. Also, order the Mac and Cheese to take with you.
