Best Old Faithful: Tako Cheena

Tako Cheena

Anyone who goes to shows or goes out drinking in Mills 50 knows Tako Cheena like an old friend; they're always winning awards; they even live on our biennial "100 Things You Must Do in Orlando" list. So you probably don't need us to tell you how great they are. We just wanted to raise a toast after six years of loving their tacos (curry-dusted panko-crusted cod for us, thanks) to say how nice it is to be able to count on them after a long night out.

Best Beer for Bands: Namesake beers for local bands at Ten10 Fest

Namesake beers for local bands at Ten10 Fest

Live music at a brewery isn't exactly a new concept, but Ten10 Brewing Co. on Virginia Drive went a step beyond for their Ten10 Fest this past October. In addition to inviting 10 mostly local bands to throw an all-day hootenanny in their back parking lot, they invited five of those bands to brew their own signature suds to serve. From American Party Machine's Fireball cinnamon whiskey-inspired red ale to Fat Night's hibiscus-infused pale ale, the variety of brews gave the festival a little extra local love that we hope to see replicated again.
