around the miracle mile

If you're ever in Stockton, the miracle mile is a good hang out spot. It has plenty of small restaurants. Stay away from the runny ones and go for the better fare like Centrale. It's a bit expensive but the ravioli my friend and I tried was delicious with a sweet taste. For some good Mexican try La Palma. They know how to do real Mexican not the microwave kind like Taco Bell. I took the same burrito twice and it's reasonably priced. If you want pub/restaurant in one try The Abbey. It's like a small Irish/English pub with old English commandments written known as The Abbey Commandments. My friend and I tried some mixed salad with french fries which IMO was pretty good especially the goat cheese. I suggest only order one and split it because it's big. If you just want to sit and talk or even people watch, try Expresso coffeehouse. The view from both the inside and outside is good for seeing everything all around you.
