Mudtown


open 7 days a week, nice!


patio dining with a view of Green Valley


bourbon smash: fresh raspberries, maker's mark, and lime. It was way past noon.....


this isn't gonna work as a sandwich is it?


fried green tomato sandwich with bacon of course


grilled tilapia sandwich with crispy fries and rings


Between the bourbon smash and the mater sandwich I am officially won over by Mudtown. The dining room is small so it's best to go during off peak hours.
I'll be back!

I'm so happy we have another great restaurant on our list! The Olive Branch is casual Mediterranean Cuisine at it's finest. Everything we had was wonderful including the service. They also get a bonus for being open on Mondays.

Rojo!

Great patio to sit back and have a few or three. ok, four...whatever!
Spinach and Mushroom Quesadilla. Pleasantly surprised by the fresh spinach and melty cheese. mmmm
Another big surprise from B.......the Chicken Quesadilla! Tried a bite. Simple but tasty, nice smokey flavor. 
Rojo BBQ Sandwich with Pork. American Carnitas :) 
Spinach Burrito with pico de gallo, rice and beans topped with queso and salsa. Rave reviews.
Dogs are allowed on the patio. Don't forget they're thirsty too!

I've had more drinks than meals here but the food is consistent, honest, and amazingly well priced.  Rojo is a great place to meet friends for a drink and grab a bite. The menu is half Latin (tacos, cheese dip) and half American (burgers, salads). The staff is always friendly.
