Jordan’s Mexican Food

It’s tough to find a local who doesn’t have a story about Jordan’s, because this restaurant has been around since the 50s, serving Mexican fare. A unique item: Sour Cream Cheese Enchiladas, which we’ve never seen on any other menu. They’re full of Philadelphia cream cheese, and topped with sour cream, cheddar, and scallions.

Karim’s Cobbler Shop & Deli

It’s a cheap thrill – we can’t spend more than $8, and that for a three-piece catfish plate with jumbo slabs served moist and mild in crisp cornmeal, along with plump fries and wheat toast. There’s great fried chicken, gumbo, red beans and rice, and decadent homemade fruit cobbler, too.
