Blue Star Diner wooed us with its breakfast, but it’s the tacos and whiskey that have us going steady.

The Bridgeland hotspot (and sister restaurant to Dairy Lane Café) is open for dinner now with a menu that is tightly packed with casual eats that let local, fresh ingredients shine. There are burgers including chorizo, chicken, lamb and three veggie varieties and six types of tacos with toppings including battered avocado, braised pork shoulder, and cilantro sour cream. Wash it all down with an old-fashioned or rusty nail from the whiskey cocktail menu.

If you happen to drink too much, head back to the same place the next morning for a healthy hangover breakfast. —Jaelyn Molyneux
