I am not an expert when it comes to football. But I am an expert when it comes to snacks.

And I know where you should go to grab food for your tailgating festivities.

Picking up food to take to a tailgate in style

The patio at Little Coyote (3950 Tennessee Ave.) now features a large projector as well as a TV screen inside at the spacious bar. You can get a margarita while also watching the games that will be streamed every weekend. But if you are inclined to get your food to go, there is a tailgate party platter. This includes 24 chicken wings, braised beans, a pound of seasonal sausage, a trio of stuffed avocados and fresh corn tortillas for $95.
