Mexican Restaurants
With Cinco de Mayo right around the corner, I thought I’d take a look at some options for Mexican dining. Next month, I’ll be featuring restaurants with outdoor seating. If you know of a great one or have an idea for a future story, post a comments on the wall of my Facebook page.

$2 for an individual taco to $14.95 for an entree.
This is a convenient spot to grab a bite before or after a Fisher Cats game, but get there early to secure a seat.
