Food Scene

The food is solid. Opens early and closes late, so good for your bagel, coffee, grilled cheese and BLT needs. Also, they stock a good variety of bodega/convenience store essentials.

Because... they serve good burgers and tacos. The best of both worlds. Owner is friendly and has started the place in the past year. Food is good and the place is decorated like the Southwest (without being obnoxious - just the right amount of quirk).
