Grumpy's Café, located in Tremont, is a neighborhood breakfast-to-dinner diner, serving American food with a southwestern tinge. The southwestern influence can be seen in appetizers like the Texas Caviar, bean salad in honey and cumin vinaigrette, or Jamabalaya. More traditional American fare includes New York Strip Steak or Garlic Chicken & Broccoli Pasta. Vegetarians can enjoy a Grilled Vegetable Wrap or a Stir Fry It Up!, with vegetables in ginger sauce. Breakfast includes options like Eggs Benedict or Potato Pancakes topped with apples, or several different omelet choices like Mexican with chorizo, onions, peppers and salsa. Grumpy's does not have a bar, but it is BYOB.

Nuevo Latino food is a fusion of Latin American cuisine with American and European influences. The Paladar Latin Kitchen and Rum Bar opened in 2007 to great fanfare and has been a busy hub of Nuevo Latino fare ever since.

Vegetarians may have a difficult time at dinner, except for the Panko Crusted Vegetable Relleno, but the lunch menu includes several salads and other veggie options. There is also a rum bar with a happy hour between 3p-7p, and a variety of appetizers and desserts from which to choose.
