Neighborhood Tex-Mex! For breakfast, I always get the Rancheros only because I'm tired of the Migas, but if you've never had Migas, get them because it's an Austin thing. Get the caldo for lunch.

Super nice specialty market. There's often live music on the back deck weekend evenings. A 15-minute walk if you can figure out how to walk past the Insane Asylum and find the "hole" in the fence.

Drinks & Nightlife

Punk / Goth / Pirate bar and pizza parlor. The music usually forces me to take the pizza to go, but it's pretty good pizza so I keep coming back.
