3005 S. University Dr.

Red Cactus is a great place to get a great, big burrito stuffed with beans, rice, veggies, guacamole, and maybe even cheese and queso, if you’re into that. You can also get salads and breakfast stuff, such as Huevos a la Mexicana, Migas, and Huevos Rancheros.
Sidewalk or patio dining: Yes
Pedestrian Access: Excellent
Bicycle Access: Cantey and Benbrook are the nearest sharrow’d bike routes. The small streets around TCU are generally pretty good bike routes – just watch out for all the TCU students who like to drive too fast in their (pick one) Tahoe/Lexus SUV/BMW 3-series/jacked-up pickup while texting their (pick one) BFFs/frat brothers and cleaning their monocles and top hats. Also, University (the street itself) is not an especially bike-friendly place, so avoid that if possible and use the side streets. No bike parking adjacent, though the nearby Barnes & Noble has several racks.
Transit access: The T bus routes 7, 24, and 29.
Car access: Parking on-street and in back.
