Food Scene
One of a kind little place with amazing TexMex. Old converted house with vintage decor. A great alternative to more well-known chains around town. The Zarape Burrito is our favorite, and it can also come in a bowl.

Family owned and operated, S H Donuts (we say "shhdonuts" but you can also say the letters on their own) is a neat little hole in the wall bakery with tacos, donuts, kolaches, and other breakfast pastries. They are a staple in our neighborhood and very popular among the locals.
