Editor’s picks from published local guides
  • Soups

    Habanero Mexican Cafe is a casual South Austin spot on West Oltorf Street, and its menudo is velvety and chunky at once: tripe that melts off the spoon and hominy that soaks up the red chile broth, with raw jalapeños and onions on the side to stir in. Order the menudo, with a migas breakfast taco alongside.

  • Mexican

    Infatuation's #1 Tex-Mex (9.0). Tiny South Austin counter spot. The hand-pressed flour tortillas and carne guisada are Central Texas at its most honest.
