    First doz oysters and wine
    Doug T.

    Had a great experience today. 2 Dozen $1 oysters Parmesan Fries 2 glasses Chardonnay World Cup fever today. Germany vs Ivory Coast. Several large screens TVs showing the game. But not too many guests. Still was a nice environment to chill and relax for a few. Fresh oysters about small- medium size Shucked and easy to slide into your mouth served with vinegar and basket of sauces Hot crispy fries with garlic Parmesan topping. Crisp outside tender inside and not excessively salty. Really good! Sign outside said $1 oysters Thursday to Sunday 5 pm to midnight. But the gentleman said they are serving $1 oysters all day and it was Saturday. So we lucked out and had a fantastic snack. Filbert Street does not have parking permits enforced on weekends so find parking on adjacent streets parallel to Union Street for free. Enjoy folks!!

    This bar is amazing. Came for karaoke and left meeting so many nice people. Bartender Jackson made us amazing drinks and made us drinks to perfection. This is a new spot for me

    Tots, nachos, quesadillas.

    I'm updating my past review because Blue Light has really stepped up its bar game. It's never overly crowded on an early Friday, and it has a true local vibe. They offer great happy hour and weeknight deals, plus live music every Friday at 6, followed by bingo--such a fun combo whether you're with friends or flying solo. We met people easily and that added to the fun night. Also, they have a parklet. The food hits the spot, too. They've got all the comforting bar staples like nachos and tots, but the real surprise is how good the burritos and tacos are. The tacos alone are worth coming back for! The Friday band we saw definitely deserves to be a regular. Overall, it's a friendly, welcoming neighborhood spot that keeps getting better.

    Great place for drinks and food. Thank you Jack for amazing cocktail. Football and Trivia Night.

    O'pear bowl, appetizers, and Mango Cart beer!

    Great energy for a party, they also have the basketball games in most tvs. Even though it's kind of busy the staff is very nice and helpful! Would definitely recommend for a hangout. They also give out free and unlimited appetizer parties.

    We arrived at La Taqueria just 30 minutes after opening and the line was already wrapped around the…read morebuilding. Normally that's when I question my patience... but when a line is wrapped around the building before lunch even starts you know something serious is happening. Spoiler: it was worth it. We ordered the carne asada tacos and the asada burrito. The tacos were packed with flavor and loaded up. I had a hard time holding my one taco and gracefully eating it. I thought the tacos were good then I tried the asada burrito... I only had a few bites and it stole the show for me. I'm still thinking about it, which feels a little dramatic but honestly, that burrito earned the attention. It was that good. Every staff member I interacted with was also incredibly kind. They managed the flow of people well and I didn't feel rushed at all while dining in. Overall 10/10. The hype is real it. The line is long, but it moves and the food absolutely delivers.

They have limited seating to I recommend taking the burritos to a nearby park and eat. Got 2 super tacos. 1 carne asada/ 1 carnitas, apparently the carnitas was the best in the tacos. I got a super burritos toasted with carne asada. One was spicy and the other was not spicy. It was labeled as spicy but they both had the exact spice level? I'm not sure if they forgot to put hot sauce or if it just isn't too spicy. Either way wish they had spicier hot sauces available either in packets or at the tables since the green salsa isn't too hot. These burritos were very delicious. I loved how you get an option to toast them or not. Because there is no rice, it makes the burrito easy to eat and you dont feel too sick after which is problem I come across burritos often. Definitely a must try!
