TEX MEX
At last count, four burrito joints stood within a quarter-mile span (California Tortilla, 55 East Main St.; Qdoba Mexican Eats, 58 East Main St.; Chipotle Mexican Grill, 136 East Main St.; and El Diablo, 127 East
Main St.). The quest for more-
inspired execution leads many to Santa Fe Mexican Grill (190 East Main St.; try the chipotle wings with cilantro blue cheese) and Del Pez Mexican Gastropub (76 East Main St.)
HAND BREADED TENDERS WITH BOOM BOOM SAUCE
NEW AND NOTABLE

Ramen Kumamoto (165 East Main St.): College students find ramen revelation in these bowls of brothy goodness.

D.P. Dough (forthcoming; South Main St.): Rumor has it that the hot calzones are making their long-awaited return this fall.

Main Street is now home to at least four restaurants that specialize in recreating the true tastes of China— Red Bowl (153 East Main St.), Colorful Yun Nan (59 East Main St.), Chef Tan (108 East Main St.) and Kung Pao Palace (259 South Main St.). Bahn Mi Boy (209 East Main St.) continues to champion the light, bright delights and robust sub-style sandwiches of Vietnam.
