Food scene
Añejo Grill is a favorite for Mexican food. Highly rated, it’s festive with both a bar area featuring tasty margaritas, and the restaurant with booths and tables. The food is very good and authentic with large portions. Everything we've tried is great, and this is from people who've lived in the Southwestern states. It’s popular on weekends for both brunch and dinner and people celebrating birthdays and other occasions. There’s never too much of a wait and plenty of parking - don't let it's exterior strip mall look keep you from joining in the fun.

Gifts, shops & activities
This is a real special place - a must for every visit - offering everything from classes, concerts and live music, dances, events and our personal favorite the Craft Shop. The Craft Shop has been not only a source of wonder as we wander through the beautiful and unique offerings, from earrings and clothing to mugs, ceramics, spoons, cards, art and inventive items, but we've bought many a family member or friend gifts originating here. We love the Fall Festival in October.
