Food & Drink
If you love eating in a place where the food looks like art, take a trip over to Aqui Cal-Mex, a delightful eatery that provides an extensive selection of Mexican dishes and industrial-strength swirls. You should expect some Americanization of these Mexican dishes, particularly the sides. Nonetheless, everything tastes wonderful. Despite the fanciness of the presentations, the prices are affordable so this restaurant is a good choice for families. Parking is located in the back lot. Street parking is limited.
