Taqueria El Tacontento
This is definitely a hot spot on campus. The food is affordable and pretty good eats too. The aguas frescas are sooooo good, and they let you mix them so create your own!
La Cascada
This place is really colorful as the walls are literally painted with murals, making it fun to be in. It is a bit pricey for Mexican food, given the other Mex restaurants around. Try some of the aguas frescas
Bec's Bar & Bistro
Beckett's is a really nice pub that creates a welcoming environment right from the get go. They have delicious appetizers. It's a bit small inside, so bring a few friends.
Cheese 'n' Stuff
The people who run this joint are really low-key and awesome. They always have coupons in the newspapers so if you're a starving student clip one out and get a sandwich for cheap.
Ann's Kitchen
People recommended this to me and I was expecting great things but it is really like any old diner. There is wide-seating, but it looks dirty as many people come and go. It's really greasy [yeah, a diner, I know].
Everyone raves about their home-fries. Try them once and then move on. Avoid heart attacks.
Fondue Fred
It's always fun to go here with a group. The seating is interestingly arranged. The bread they use for dipping is not that great, but the sauces are good and the fruit is pretty good.
Bistro Liaison
This is a nice little French restaurant that just pops out from a street corner. It has really delicious frites [french fries] so try those [hold the mayonnaise dipping sauce]
La Mediterranee
This place is always lively and nice spot to go to for someone's birthday. Try their dolmas and their cinnamon chicken. Their deserts are so good. Expect a wait.
Ici Ice Cream
This restaurant really is one of a kind. The frozen treats are really delicious. It is a gourmet place so expect to pay a little more for your treats but it's worth it.
House of Curries
This place is cool because it's in an old hotel. They have this cool tea set out for you. The naan is pretty tasty and it is on 99 cents. Try the aloo naan, it has potatoes stuffed inside!
