Lunch

These are our 2 favorites but there are so many more to choose from, Yelp is a great way to pick a lunchtime winner.
JJ’s Oasis Latino has the best Mexican food in the state; kind of a hole in the wall and really inexpensive, family owned and operated. Evelyn is the owner. Great margaritas, a full bar, and dessert too.
