"Ogunquit is a quaint seaside town where you should make a pit stop to check out all the little gift shops, fun bars, and oceanside views—or even consider spending the night in one of the town’s waterfront hotels. Treehouse Taqueria is the place in town to unwind after a long day of driving, and walking up its nondescript staircase feels like arriving at your cool, free-spirited friend’s tropical cabin. The backyard is quiet and has a small fire pit, while the covered patio lets you enjoy the breeze without putting you at risk of baking in the sun. Their $20 mix-and-match taco plate comes with options like chicken tinga, birria, and jackfruit al pastor, but the best one is the veggie taco with bright broccoli, queso blanco, scallions, and chili flakes. Sweet, tropical drinks are also tailor-made for enjoying on a lazy summer afternoon, and they also do 32-ounce cocktail buckets for $20 if you’ve been relieved from driving duties. " - anne cruz
