After living in Oxford, Mississippi, for almost 14 years, it can sometimes feel like I’ve exhausted everything our town has to offer—especially on the culinary scene. I’ve worked in special events for over six years and in the food service industry directly and indirectly during that time, but food has remained a personal and professional passion. I have compiled for the new-to-Oxford and the settled some inside scoop of 15 food bites for under $15, making living deliciously more affordable than ever.
For the Real Deal Street Tacos
Mundo Latino Cucina
Mundo Latino, a.k.a The Taco Shop a.k.a. “Secret Taco” has a near-the-border feel with real sugar cokes, Mexican peppers, imported candies, and tacos that are $1.75–$2. One lunch was $9 for 3 Arabe tacos, queso and chips, and lime-y fingers.
