La Paterias Tropicana has some of the best ice cream I’ve ever had. With sundaes as intricate as the one above to their own home-made popsicles, this is definitely the place to go for something sweet and cold on a hot day.

2. El Patron

Looking for a place to go on a Monday night after struggling through the Monday blues? El Patron has a great happy hour on Mondays with half price appetizers as well as half price Margaritas and Sangrias. 

3. Taqueria Mexico
