(From January 2012) Tucked into a historic East End neighborhood, this erstwhile corner store draws loyal patrons with hearty all-day breakfasts, lunchtime blue-plate specials, and classic salads and sandwiches. We relished our Philly cheesesteak, while a friend dug into chicken salad on seven-grain bread. A happy table of local ladies made leisurely work of generous spinach salads spiked with pecans, dried cranberries, feta, and bacon crumbles |

(From June 2011) In warm weather, we head for the shaded patio of this old house and let a mango–orange juice smoothie serve as lunch. But we also hanker for the wraps, oversized spinach tortillas stuffed with black beans, rice, pico de gallo, and such pairings as pork with mango salsa and chicken with wasabi sauce. Beer & wine. |

| Deli /

(From January 2012) When you just want something light—smoothies, salads, sandwiches—this hole-in-the-wall should be your first choice. The lovely longitudinal patio and inside aisles are one-way only, but the ultra-trim Marfa customers fit right in (literally), crowding Squeeze Marfa’s postage stamp–size tables with yogurt parfaits, fresh fruit, granola, and waffles. |

| Vietnamese /
Deli |
|
|
|
(From April 2011) It’s a family affair all the way at this tiny Vietnamese cafe. Regulars bring gifts to the sisters who operate the place, and their husbands have been known to don aprons over their dress pants and help bus tables. Detouring from our usual favorite bun or pho bowls, we started with jÃcama rolls with tiny slices of Chinese sausage, then fol-lowed with a poor-boy-like banh mi (filled with crunchy strips of fried squid dressed in garlic and butter). A plate of steamed rice topped with ribbons of grilled pork, shredded pork, tripe, and fried tofu skin was an exciting tour of myriad textures; on top sat a fried egg, its yolk helping to unify the elements. Though the industrial park setting has little charm, the interest-ing, authentic food and the graciousness of the sisters are winning. BYOB. |
