Corner store with typical fare of wine, beer, snacks, and household goods. Also the best tacos in town. Order at the counter, and walk to the back to wait for them and gather some of the best salsa in town too. Personal favorite: flour tortilla with beans, nopales, avocado, jalapeño, and pico.

Late night french food spot with good drinks and music. I personally love sitting at the bar for dinner, and it's typically quicker than waiting for a table. They serve a perfect martini too.
