Tacos Don Rafa · Downtown
Tacos Don Rafa began as an affordable way to feed the family behind the cart and has remained a State Street fixture. The simple taco-cart setup keeps the focus on a quick meal rather than a long sit-down visit. Stop for street tacos at the regular pitch near 800 South.
Curry Fried Chicken · Central City
Curry Fried Chicken gives lunch a choice beyond its namesake bird, including hummus plates with pita, salad and a choice of meat, falafel or vegetable curry. These plates make the State Street counter a useful stop for a substantial midday meal at a modest cost. Order a plate when a full lunch matters more than a quick snack.
Feldman's Deli · East Bench
Feldman’s Deli serves good food at a reasonable price, with a corned beef Reuben on toasted rye with sauerkraut, Swiss cheese and dressing. The portion can be split when a lighter lunch is enough. The deli dining room gives the meal a full sit-down setting, and the Reuben makes a clear first order when choosing from the sandwich menu.
