    Taqueria Con Cuida also has incredible arepas, delicious corn cakes that keep me coming back for more. Also check out their kale salad, based on a “Day of the Dead” recipe from Guatemala. Outstanding food at this unknown gem.

    If you want AUTHENTIC Tacos, (try the “Tacos Mexico City”), you have to try eating at “Nachos and Beer” near Reynolds High School, across from Ingles Supermarket. I almost don’t won’t to let tell too many people. But there really good people with really good food, oh and the prices are pretty great too.
