Xoco
On the final day of Jane's visit, I took us to Xoco, the gourmet street food from Rick Bayless. I've tried several times to go but the line is always about 45 minutes long. But at 1:15 on a Friday, we only waited 15 minutes.
I had the Pepito Torta which is braised Tallgrass beef shortribs with carmelized onion, artisan Jack cheese, black beans, and pickled jalapenos. This sandwich was not short on meat but it was definitely short on cheese. The jalapenos were spicy, maybe too spicy, but still good enough to eat. The shortribs weren't rich at all, which is rare. I saw a lot of great things on the menu and if they are all as good as the Pepito Torta, then I have to go back.
I washed everything down with a glass of their house-made lemonade. It was tangy, slightly sour. But amazing, best lemonade I've ever had. Not too watery and not sugary tasting. I'd go back solely for the lemonade.
