A bit further from home but certainly worth the drive at about 15 minutes. This place is an experience. Expect loud music, outrageous dishes, and the state's largest Bloody Mary bar. Get your bruch day drinking on and be ready for some extra comfortable comfort food.

Dilla Libre is great for lunch or dinner. They are a fast-casual gourmet quesadilla joint and boy do they know there dillas. They'll also do a great job of mixing up a Mexican style cocktail. My recommendation is the Napoleon Dynamite, substitute carnitas for carne asada. Very tasty!
