Tacos



The sight of that brightly striped awning in East Austin makes my heart skip a beat. Their tacos are classic. Cheesy migas and cool fish and radish tacos are sure bets at El Chilito. The true stand out at this taco joint is their roasted jalapeño salsa is a rich and smokey labor of love.


Torchy's, an infamous taco truck in South Austin, has some of the most delicious tacos I've ever come across. Their fried avocado taco is a must, with deep fried avocado slices, refried beans, and fresh pico, this one is warm and simple. Their pork is great when loaded up with fresh cilantro and lime. Sweet mango, spicy jerk chicken, bright cilantro, and a cool sour cream sauce make the brushfire their most complex flavor. Stunner.

No one loves their tacos like Austin... and me!

Makes us all miss Austex. Hope you an Ray et. al. had a glorious time round your old digs. Looking at some of the NY food sites makes me wonder why folks aren't jammed in the internet tubes trying to get info from you....
