Since 1973, Tio’s has been serving Mexican cuisine, made from scratch every day. It’s a great place to try something new. 

Live music, great cocktails, and delicious food can be found at this restaurant just south of Norman. It’s a casual atmosphere with unpretentious entrees, burgers, and tacos. 

Bedre Chocolates can be found in many stores across the state, but they’re made in Davis. You can shop at the main store and watch the chocolates being made.
