Taqueria La Lagartija

Taqueria La Lagartija serves “real-deal” tacos with fresh ingredients in a casual, upbeat environment. Everything is made to order.

Crosby's Kitchen

Crosby’s Kitchen offers perfectly prepared American fare. The menu is simple and delicious; the cornbread appetizer is a favorite. You’ll see deliciously succulent chicken on the rotisserie in this open kitchen style restaurant. The ambiance is comfortable and lacks pretense. A full-service bar also boasts delicious cocktails. 

El Nuevo Mexicano

Authentic Mexican dishes are served in a pleasant atmosphere at El Nuevo Mexicano. While the recipes are traditional, you will also find a sizable menu of vegan and vegetarian, as well as gluten free offerings. Service is great. Don’t forget to order a delicious and plentiful margarita!
