I like both. Taco farm can't accommodate a crowd.

Beer town is more doable. There are beer taps built into the tables, if
you're into that sort of thing.

I can give restaurant recommendations forever, but it helps to have
parameters to narrow things down.  And there's stuff I don't know, like
whether they have outlets and wifi.

Darcy.
