The Taco Shack - Local Gem

Last Saturday we went to The Taco Shack with some friends. 

It is in Tolono, and it is worth the drive. 

The grammatical errors are supposedly intentional. Hmmm. As a business owner, I'm not sure that's the route I would have taken. But whatever. One thing is for sure, they do make some 'darn good fresh foods.' 

Rachel ordered 'the shack taco.'

And a giant burrito.

Yep, we feed him straight off of the table. That's how we roll.  Besides, if you give that boy a plate, it's gonna fly.

They also serve pie.  Weird.  But it's good and Nella was glad that Dad shared.

They also have cards. Weird. 

The Taco Shack is just a typical weird little Central Illinois dive that's kinda tacky but reaaalllllly delicious. If you're visiting us and have a hankerin' for a gringo-made taco, we'll head to Tolono.

Cocomero - Local Gem

Cocomero is quickly becoming one of our favorite places in town.  It's a sweet little self-serve frozen yogurt shop.

It was sunny outside today, so we decided to celebrate that sunshine by going for frozen yogurt.  

Picking out a flavor.  Caleb likes French Vanilla and Strawberry.  I love Cafe Au Lait.  Nella likes 'em all.  (I love the tiled wall.  Isn't it cool!?)

Paying.

47 cents per ounce.

Seriously, look how fun this place is!  Upstairs seating, fun colors, tiled wall, healthy(ish) frozen yogurt, giant topping bar, fun views of campus.  They also serve espresso, coffee, tea, and bubble tea.

Mmm.  

Caleb and Nella watch people walk around Campustown.

She just loves spinning on the stools.

Fun afternoon.  Come visit us and we'll take you to Cocomero!
