Here's the thing, Camilla is one of the more amazing cooks on the planet. You should go in the morning, when it's not crowded, order her fish taco and line up your salsas in homage to what's to come. more… [1 review]

I love the veggie at Delaware. I can eat the enormous one in a single sitting - they are that good. You absolutely have to get the spicy peppers and sauce on this sub. The bread is crispy and fantastic. more… [1 review]

Big, tender, smoky, did I say tender? Oh my god, the meat falls off the bone so easily, you can't even pick these ribs up. Artz has mastered the art of preparing these ribs. Their sauce is served hot more… [4 reviews]

I've been addicted to this Thai seafood noodle soup concoction for years now. It's a very spicy, vinegary red soup with chile seeds everywhere. Complemented by baby bok choy, squid, fish balls, shrimp, more… [1 review]

This is my ode to the Hyde Park Turkey Burger - Oh, burger, how I crave you sometimes. You are salty, you are thick, you are remarkably juicy and most of all you're consistent. HP does the turkey burger more… [2 reviews]

First and last - these were the first tacos al pastor I ever had and to this day remain the best. I've eaten them in fancy places, I've eaten em in Mexico, and somehow these stand on top of the pack for more… [1 review]

Consistently, this is my favorite margarita in town. Even though you can order a pitcher, I think I would advise against it unless you like your margarita melted, which I don't. Getting them by the glass more… [1 review]

Such a unique beer, and made in TX too! Faithfully on tap at Opal's since its early days, the Pale Rye is a beer unlike any I'd ever had. It's crisp, it's a bit bitter, and the rye is very distinctive. more… [1 review]

Oh lord, how I haven't added this sooner I do not know. Reading Laura's review of the one at Sweetish Hill reminds me how badly I miss the Upper Crust's sugary, masterpiece. Somehow this thing is both more… [1 review]

All my Viet pals concur - this is the best pho to be found in Austin. It's fragrant, it's neither too sweet or too salty, and the sides of basil, cilantro, lime, jalapeno and bean sprouts are always incredibly more… [1 review]
