Green Chile Pork Taco at Torchy's Taco's

1207 S 1st St, Austin, TX
(512) 445-6599

I love this taco... but I like to ask for it without onions, as I'm not a raw onion fan. Anyway, the pork is super tender and flavorful... corn tortillas are the way to go for this one. more…   [11 reviews]

The reason this cupcake is so good is because of the delicious cream cheese frosting. Hey Cupcake does not skimp on frosting, and that's why they get their cupcakes right. The carrot cake itself was very more…   [1 review]

Ham & Cheese Crepes at Flip Happy

2041 S Lamar Blvd, Austin, TX, 78704

This crepe is big and stuffed full of ooey-gooey ham and cheese. Think French burrito. The crêpe itself is thick enough to hold in all of the stuffing but tender enough to melt in your mouth with each more…   [4 reviews]

I couldn't agree more with the other reviews. These crepes get a 10 in my book. Great care is taken with each crepe. For example, the chicken in these crepes has been slow smoked for 10 hours, making more…   [3 reviews]
