• Mexican • Columbia City
Booked 3 times today
Tex-Mex cuisine began in the Rio Grande Valley before migrating up to San Antonio during the l860's where a group of women known as The Chili Queens' began to pop up in the city's plazas selling chili con carne with tamales, enchiladas, and chili verde. They incorporated cumin into their dishes favored by settlers from theCanary lslands, which still has a strong influence on Mexican food in Texas. Tex-Mex also loves beef, flour tortillas, yellow cheese, fajitas and more.Our inspiration comes from the many classic Tex-Mex restaurants including Sylvia's Enchilada Kitchen, Papasito's, Ninfa's, Blue Goose, Hugo's, Herrerra's Cafe, Chuy's, Valentina's Tex-Mex and many more. Jackalope combines excellent Central Texas-style smoked meats from Jack's BBQ with delicious Tex-Mex dishes. lt's truly the best of both worlds!

Booked 5 times today
An understated storefront hides a coveted skyline view—just one of the many ways you could underestimate this longtime cafe on Mount Baker’s main drag. The menu, the sign—even the name—are a bit of a throwback, but current owners Guy Devillier and David Hoefer took over in 2018 and keep things attuned to today. Carbonara packs more nuance than you might expect, the slightly crackly pizza’s better than it has to be, and the bar pours lambrusco and negroni. No wonder tables are loaded with a diversity of diners.

Perched above Pioneer Square, Firn at Populus pairs skyline views with a creative and delicious cocktail menu. Drinks are ingredient focused, carefully concocted, and draw inspiration from the transitional nature of our environment and the concept of water and its transition through the phases of the water cycle. The food is a simple offering that complements the cocktail program and is designed for sharing. With an open-air setting and a lively atmosphere, it’s the perfect destination for good drinks and great company. Due to the possibility of inclement weather, all reservations are for interior seating. Our team is happy to accommodate outdoor seating where possible (please note your preference in the reservation notes). Firn is a 21+ establishment.

    Recently attended another one of the guest chef series BUDS, this one with Chef's Lucas Dai Pra and Natallie Avitia of Petite Percebes. As with all we've attended it was absolutely a blast. Great wine pairings from Wine Director Yakira, inventive and with a hard to find cult wine to start. We try to not miss a single one. Of course a regular night at TOMO is always a treat too.

    We had a great experience and will definitely be returning! The menu offers a really creative fusion of BBQ and Mexican flavors that works surprisingly well. While the portion sizes on the entrees were a bit smaller than expected, the quality of the flavor more than made up for it. The absolute highlight of the meal, however, was the dessert. We had a stunning bread pudding served with coconut ice cream and an agave syrup drizzle—I could have easily eaten a thousand of them. It is a must-order! Despite how busy it was, the service remained very attentive and professional. The noise level was quite high, but considering it was Cinco de Mayo, the high energy felt appropriate for the occasion. If you’re looking for a vibrant, fun atmosphere with unique flavors, this is the spot.
