Andale, the one-woman taqueria run by Sarah Pruitt, now offers “heatable yummies” in its coolers. Choose from small or large burritos ($5-7) stuffed with chicken, beef, veggie and black bean, or barbeque tofu. The taqueria window is open Tuesday through Saturday in the Belmont Market.

Three Notch’d Brewing Company opened its doors at 946 Grady Ave. this month, serving craft beer backed by Virginia’s rich history, which, as the brewery says, will “lead our patrons down the Three Notch’d Road to great beer.” The new joint was founded by three friends who all value great beer and great times, and offers selections like the 40-mile IPA (brewed in a West Coast-style with American hops), the No Veto English Brown Ale, and the Of, By, For Lage. Brewmaster Dave Warwick previously brewed in Westminster, Colorado, and Rock Bottom Brewery in Arlington, Virginia, before relocating here. Take a brewery tour on Saturdays from 10am-1pm (but make rezzies in advance!).
