Somerville.MA:Image:Annas Taqueria Davis

Craving an authentic Mexican burrito with traditional flavors and healthy ingredients? Anna’s Taqueria at Davis Square is a refreshing respite in an area full of overpriced Mexican joints. The décor is no frills compared to nearby Qdoba and the new kid on the block, Chipotle. However, you’ll go loco over Anna’s top-notch meats and poultry. And, with meals averaging $6 and under, you can’t beat the price.

Compared to the first-rate second-hand store Boomerangs in Jamaica Plain, there’s a lot of junk at the Goodwill Industries shop in Somerville’s Davis Square. However, less is not always more. If you have the time to sift through the heaps of donated clothes, books and home goods, you’ll eventually stumble on a diamond in a rough. Happy hunting!

Hollywood Express

Forget Blockbuster. Founded in 1987, Hollywood Express is one of the few remaining independent video stores remaining in Davis Square. Their selection of classic, indie and foreign flicks is stellar. However, in an age ruled by online giants like Netflix and Blockbuster, the niche this store once served is slowly migrating to the Internet. It's sad but indie video stores are slowly becoming obsolete. Meanwhile, enjoy the perks. Hollywood Express regulars love their 2-for-1 rental deals every Tues-Wed.

McDonald's Davis Square

243 Elm Street, Somerville, MA

• (617) 623-2623

Restaurant

Know more? Edit Me

In an area with almost no fast-food restaurants, this is an atypical McDonald’s in the sense that the food is fresher and the service is better than expected. The location hosts a bevy of Davis Square old-timers who meet up daily for coffee and to swap stories and neighborhood gossip. It’s a great place to get plugged into what Somerville was like before the onslaught of yuppies and Tufts students.
