Chile con Queso in Austin
Not American yellow nor flameado style, I personally dig the queso at La Morada at MoPac and Parmer. Reminds me of the stuff at Los Tios in Houston. Oniony and cheesy. Yum.
The Worst Fish and Chips in Austin?
Have you tried Opal Divine's? Went there recently with an Aussie friend who used to live in England (but now lives in Japan, so admittedly his palate is probably uncalibrated), and he proclaimed them "not bad". (This is the "Marina" location at Parmer and MoPac; not sure about the F&C at the other locations...)
Good restaurants by Avery Ranch (far NW)?
As a refugee from South Austin, I giggled like a schoolgirl when I saw Curra's would be coming to Parmer/McNeil, since it's within walking distance, so we went opening week. Service was awful, but I figured they just opened, no big deal. I've been back several times, but the only time I've ever had good service is during Sunday brunch. Weekday and weekend evenings are the worst. I just get it to go and cry a little inside.
I miss Oltorf.
