    Coyote Bluff Cafe

    So this is to be expected. Coyote Bluff is more than a local burger joint, it's a nationally-recognized food paradise ever since Man vs. Food came to town. It gets 4.5 stars.

    Bangkok Tokyo

    This seems like a lesser-known spot for Thai food. Amarillo has such a variety of hibachi and sushi bars that it's easy to overlook Bangkok Tokyo. To those who have been, however, it gets 4.5 stars.

    Amarillo is not lacking in hole-in-the-wall Mexican food restaurants. However, there are over 100 rave reviews about El Manantial that make it stand out among the rest. It gets 4.5 stars on Yelp.
