Food Scene
Starbucks
21050 N Tatum BlvdTryst Cafe
21050 N Tatum BlvdQuaint atmosphere, amazing food and drinks!
If you love Mexican food, this is a MUST! About 20 minutes north from the casita and well worth it. Very traditional and unique foods and phenomenal margaritas (if that's your thing). The building has been restored from it's Old West Days and boasts a pond in the middle of the courtyard where ducks, fish, and turtles call home. It's quite unique!
On occasional weekends, there is live music and spanish dancers. Recommend calling ahead for reservations as their wait (on weekends especially) can get lengthy.

Great, short, and easy hike for all levels and ages. (We take our little kids there a lot). The view from the top is so unique - you literally step through a hole in the rock and come out on this magnificent ledge that faces South, over the city. We have it on our *MUST SEE* list.
