Taquería Los Tarascos
enchiladas con mole and horchata (hecha a mano)

City Coffee House and Creperie
savory: the st. louis crepe. sweet: the freedom crepe (or any of them really)

pad thai; curries are also good

Sub Zero
build your own burger; fun sides like sweet potato fries and tempura vegetables

I love the bonzai burger at Red Robin, and I just tried the avocado egg rolls at Cheesecake factory and they are delicious!

The sushi place sounds great, and Clint and I really enjoyed the City Coffee House and Creperie when we visited you.

Wow, Wasabi. When Tonya and I first got married and lived in Framingham, MA there was this Japanese restaurant called Wasabi right across from our apt parking lot. Completely forgot about that. Good food there, though! Thanks for (unintentionally!) bringing back an old memory.
