Garage Taco Bar
As someone who rarely eats downtown, I was pleasantly surprised by my experience at Garage Taco Bar.
When my photographer and I walked into the restaurant, we quickly realized what gives Garage Taco Bar its name. The eating area is split into a half-indoor, half-outdoor setting. Inside, tire rims line the ceiling, with the walls filled with faded brick. Outdoors, there are large green tables, with umbrellas to shield the sun’s rays. With the weather being as warm as it was, it was tough to decide where to take our seats — but it was clear that the restaurant’s decor gave it a calm, laid-back vibe that immediately makes one feel at home.

A mix of both modern and rustic art, the restaurant presents a beautiful atmosphere that makes you feel like you are once again a kid in your mom’s kitchen. Read more…
