Old Favorites: Delicious Restaurants That Lubbock's Known For

Recently, I had a friend from high school who returned to Lubbock after more than a decade of being away. The circumstances were unfortunate, so I wanted to make sure my friend had some positive experiences too. I wanted her to have some real authentic Lubbock fun while she was here.

We did have fun. I was grateful her visit encompassed First Friday Art Trail, so that was a no-brainer. Of course, we went to Taco Villa for a bean burrito, that's required. And we visited some great bars.
