Southern Sun Pub & Brewery

The Mountain Sun group channels the spirit of those college roommates who maintained a constant house party, complete with a keg and a rotating roster of friends. The four pubs are a front for a microbrewery, and they each maintain a line of about twenty taps for the Sun’s own craft beers. During happy hour, […]

Spice China

Chef Jack Mok and his crew have essentially created two menus: one full of sesame beef, orange-peel chicken, pork dumplings, wonton soup and mu shu everything, and a secondary lineup that subtly pushes the more authentic cuisine of China and Shanghai, including excellent Peking duck. The staff is friendly and the room is big, comfortable […]

Taco Wagon

The Taco Wagon, crouching in the parking lot of El Mercado, a Mexican grocery in Lafayette, commands eye-rollingly long waits, but it’s worth missing whatever commitment you’ve got lined up — school, court, hell, even your nuptials — to first profess your love for the breakfast burritos. They’re delivered through a sliding glass window, behind […]
