<p>For mexican try out La Fiesta, it’s on Atwood street (a bit north of Bates) in Oakland. It has the best Mexican food in the vicinity, stay away from Mad Mex, the food isn’t as authetic and it’s more for the margaritas (which your son won’t be drinking on this trip for obvious reasons).</p>
<p>Another place I like is a little burrito place (I forget the name…but it looks like a hole in the wall) across the street from Qdoba on Forbes. It doesn’t look like much, but they have great cheap burritos for lunch!</p>
<p>Edit: The place for breakfast is Pamelas. It is also on Forbes and is known as the best greasy spoon diner in town (very popular on the morning after)!</p>
<p>Edit 2: For a great hamburger try out Peter’s Pub! I loved their burgers…its located on Oakland Ave (you can see it from the Towers).</p>
