Don't be deceived by the building. It's true, you order at the convenience store counter. But if you're looking for authentic Mexican food, I can send you nowhere else. My standard order is a fish taco and a taco al pastor. Bonus: it's an easy 4-block walk.

Drinks & Nightlife
Possibly decent dancing on a Friday or Saturday night. The atmosphere is nice due to the interior design, but the type of crowd fluctuates. As a wordly person, Metro is the only place I'd recommend to go dancing downtown, but if you want to experience some true SW Virginia nightlife culture, let me know and I can hook you up. :)
