Guidebook for Austin
Food Scene
Very unique menu, great cocktails. Not very child friendly though. Smaller bites meant to be shared. Not a place if you're a picky eater, no alterations to the menu either. One of my favorite spots to eat in Austin.

One of Austin's biggest staples and biggest restaurants. Great Tex-Mex and so far the best margarita I can find in the city. If you go after 5pm good chance you'll run into me. Great patio if the weather is nice.
