Good spot for breakfast or lunch and includes a large outdoor beer garden (21+) with giant Jenga, firepits, etc. Food is nothing fancy, but solid. Locals like their crepes and Korexican tacos. Walk here in 7 min.

I love Laredos for their Al Pastor tacos. Others love their Brisket Enchiladas, and the Avocado Margaritas are favorites too. Everything on the menu is solid, even their brunch, which is never crowded.
