Headed there with the fiancé, can anyone recommend a good spot for lunch? Pretty open to anything, we are dressed casually.

Jolie's Bistro. Could you pick up some ceviche for me?



I don't have a pic of their crab cakes topped with pickled shallots, but YUM!

Taco sisters eh? I'm not gonna lie I'm a snob when it comes to Hispanic food. La Reyna, tiendita, Morenita and Mr taco remind me of Honduras.

Taco Sisters has absolutely nothing to do with Hispanic food. They have an incredible smoked gulf tuna taco which is awesome, not that their brisket burrito is any slouch.

Doesn't matter anyway since they close at 2 today. Next time, try to get a lunch request in before 1pm the day of.

LaReyna is Honduras at least the wife is from Honduras. Mr Taco I like but to me it's kind of Tex Mex maybe not as Tex as Mex. Actually I normally only eat their wet tamales which are great. LaMorenita is as Mexican as you can get. And a chicharonne taco is good.

Eta: I ate at Blue Dog Cafe last week and it was pretty good. It had been awhile and I'm sure better options but I kind if like the joint.

I really miss Montana's on Coursey, a Colombian restaurant, and used to love their Bandeja paisa. Ever been? If not, you missed a gem before they closed.

Olde Tyme has been touted to serve the best poboys in the world. Therein lies your answer.
