Food Scene

Great Mexican food, relaxed / casual environment. A real locals place. Right next to the strand, so nice outdoor view. Indoor / outdoor seating. The chips/salsa/guac alone are great!

Delious Gelato! Our favorite flavors are Mediterranean Sea Salt, Pistachio and Limoncello, but we have yet to find a flavor we don't like. Arguably better than most gelato found in Italy!!

A wonderful, healthy restaurant with 100% 'clean' type of ingredients (chia seeds, almond milk, kale, quinoa, etc). Also incredibly delicious! Try the Kale Salad or the Bread Pudding if they have it.

Great place for tacos and sliders, but the Belgian fries are to die for! ;o) Great selection of craft brews on tab. Don't ask the chef for substitutions though, he's quite happy with his menu as is!
