Just. Good. Noms.
here’s my short list for first time visitors, frequent returns for special occasions, or cravings that consistently hit!
Leroy & Lewis BBQ
Address: 5621 Emerald Forest Dr, Austin, TX 78745
Cuisine: BBQ
this new american/texas bbq fusion is so worth it. they sell out of their meats by dinner, i highly recommend going for lunch! they also do steak frites nights only from thurs-sun!
Suerte
Address: 1800 East 6th Street, Austin, TX 78702
Cuisine: Mexican
one of my favorite more upscale mexican restaurants to take visitors. their suadero tacos, ceviche, tetela de birria with a nada paloma are a must try!
Canje
Address: 1914 E 6th St Ste c, Austin, TX 78702
Cuisine: Caribbean
hands down the best roti i’ve ever had in my life, the jerk chicken is so moist but fair warning its VERY spicy, every bite is a flavorful experience
Ezov
Address: 2708 E Cesar Chavez St, Austin, TX 78702
Cuisine: Eastern Mediterranean
another amazing flavorful experience, i don’t know what else to say other than, please go try this place if you haven’t already!
Este
Address: 2113 Manor Rd, Austin, TX 78722
Cuisine: Mexican, Seafood
cravings mexican AND fresh seafood? do not leave without trying ceviche, aguachile, guacamole, and tuna tiradito — and that’s just to start! they have a great happy hour as well! my favorite drinks are the olmec old fashioned or the sombra.
