Barrio

806 Literary Rd. West Side/Ohio City/Tremont/Detroit Shoreway

216-999-7714

South of the Border

This Tremont taqueria puts the power of the pen in the diner's hand. Guests design their own tacos from a list of some 30 components — from shell to filling to salsa to toppings. The best part: They are all just $3 each. This blissfully informal approach is a great fit for the unpretentious food. In addition to the tacos, the menu features a few starters and sides, not to mention a landslide of tequilas and margaritas. The delightful patio makes a perfect perch to enjoy them.

The bakery opens early and stays open late on Fridays and Saturdays, making this a sweet destination for coffee and cookies after a stroll through Little Italy.

Pizza

Filled with maps (of Ireland, Cleveland, and the world), this downtown pub is big enough for the small airplane hanging from the ceiling to fly around in.

Subs/Sandwich Shop

Part of a no-frills Illinois chain, the region's first Jimmy John's specializes in plump, fresh, and remarkably inexpensive subs and giant club sandwiches, including several options for vegetarians. And in a tip o' the hat to downtown's remaining workers, JJ's delivers.

Mister Brisket

2156 S. Taylor Rd., Cleveland Hts. Eastern Suburbs

216-932-8620

Deli

Mister Brisket (a.k.a. Sanford Herskovitz) has expanded his specialty butcher shop to include a carryout sandwich counter, featuring everything from barbecued beef to rich Romanian pastrami. But the real draw is the unconventional corned beef, baked in a convection oven, rather than boiled, as is done in most delis. Does it make a difference? Try it, then decide for yourself.

Mitchell Bros. Ice Cream

6130 Kruse Dr., Solon Eastern Suburbs

440-542-0023

Dessert, Menu

Pete and Mike Mitchell's handmade ice cream is probably the best in the region, and their colorful, contemporary ice cream parlor couldn't be more inviting. Key lime pie and mango are our current passions among the 30 or so ice cream and sorbet flavors, but we've never found anything that wasn't great. Best yet, the shop is open daily, year-round.

Consider this locally grown shop, run by an Ohio City-based brother-sister team, your alternative to that Denver-based chain, offering friendly staff, fast service, and fat burritos stuffed with a variety of freshly prepped fillings.

On the Rise

3471 Fairmount Blvd., Cleveland Hts. Eastern Suburbs

216-320-9923

Bakery

Part chemist, part craftsman, Adam Gidlow produces fine artisanal breads, bursting with honest wheat flavor and giving off clouds of nutty, toasty aromas. French baguettes are the real deal, with crisp but pliable crusts; rustic Italian loaves are an epiphany; and croissant-like sticky buns are a naughty dream. Mostly carryout, but two bistro tables accommodate those who can't wait.

Ontario Street Cafe

2053 Ontario St. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

216-861-6446

Pubs/Wine & Martini Bars

Tucked into a small space just south of Public Square, Ontario Street Café is hidden in plain sight. This classic Cleveland bar has been around for longer than most regulars can recall — but then again, most have been drinking since noon. Despite the well-worn interior — and less-than-welcoming exterior — this is no dive bar. Bartenders wear white shirts and neckties. Service is prompt and professional. And the fresh-sliced deli sandwiches are out of this world. Drinks are dirt cheap but you need cash to enjoy them.

2528 Lorain Ave. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

216-737-SOUP

Deli

Made-from-scratch soups are dispatched from this tiny walk-up soup house across from the West Side Market. With 10 great soups daily, finding the right bowl is child’s play.

Bright, cheery and tidy, the storefront shop offers made-to-order fare like chicken biryani, chicken curry, and goat curry. Like other South Indian eateries, this one devotes a large portion of the menu to vegetarian dishes, including steamed idli with sambal or chickpea curry. Rather than rice, dishes here are served with chapati, wheat flatbread.
