Grab Mexican grub at Plaza Ventana Mexican Restaurant. With two locations in Fresno, the award-winning eatery serves up street-style tacos, fajitas, quesadillas and other Mexican specialties. Have a nightcap at Goldstein’s Mortuary and Delicatessen. Don’t let the name fool you: Goldstein’s is indeed a bar and not a funeral home. Plenty of craft beers are on tap and the lively bar often features live music with no cover. A beer costs $5–12 depending on the pour.
