Mexican
How can I get good Mexican food around here? That is perhaps the most common query I receive. It is getting better just about every month. We are not yet Houston, LA, or Chicago, but your best options are listed in the “Mexican” catgeory.

The green taco truck’s pretty good, I’ll try the silver one some other time.
I still think Charrito Caminante is slightly better, and actually a little cheaper.

La Mexicana Bakery and Taqueria near the car dealerships on US1 is pretty awesome. I am addicted to their barbacoa, carnitas, and fish tacos. Their tortas are pretty good too. Not sure about their other stuff but I do want to try their menudo.
