Some of the best ice cream in the city... if you don't mind "non-traditional" flavors like Secret Breakfast (wiskey & cornflakes) and Hibiscus Beet. They let you taste before you choose!

According to Nate Silver, the best burrito in the country. Secret is no beans and lots of guacamole. Tacos may actually be a better choice. If you are a vegetarian, try Papalote or Vallarta instead.
