From the local food press

Editor’s picks from published local guides
  • Mexican

    Infatuation (9.0). A 1970s dive-bar-plus-Tex-Mex institution. Enchiladas smothered in Texas-style chili, frozen margs, zero pretense.

    Picks from The Infatuation Austin, Austin Chronicle, and Austin Monthly

  • Chili

    Time Out Austin calls this Lavaca Street room an old guard favorite, with gruff service, a dive bar ethos and a seventies feel that pulls in students, tourists and the legislature. The standard bowl of red comes in three heat levels, while the chili with beans range runs to venison, white pork and hatch chile, plus a five bean vegetarian version. Order the standard bowl at whichever heat you can handle, and keep the drink simple with a Negra Modelo or a Shiner.
