A solid US style Mexican offering. Always busy - but great service makes it a good experience anyway. Spinach and Chicken enchiladas are my fave - and there are a lot of vegetarian offerings.

Közlekedés

You'll need a car.

From our house you can walk to downtown State College, main campus, and the stadium/BJC. Chances are you'll need a car to get around beyond that.

Restaurants on high traffic weekends

If you're coming to town for graduation, a holiday, or a home game - I recommend making restaurant reservations before you get here. On those occasions, there are more people who want a meal than there are fine dining opportunities in the area!

Arboretum

A one mile walk from our house, the Arboretum is a lovely, low key activity for adults and children alike.

Kid friendly town

There are a lot of options for families here - from the Arboretum to The Discovery Space, to a plethora of parks with play structures and biking paths and trails. Not to mention the Berkey Creamery on campus!
