Best BBQ?
If y'all are new to Central Texas I would use this as an good reason to get out and explore some. Head to west to Salt Lick, to Lockhart (I prefer Black's & Smitty's, but I haven't been to Kreuz in a while and need to get it another try), and to City Market in Lulling. In town, Iron Works is great and definitely go to Sams. I think Rudy's is good and has some of the most tender, fall apart with a fork moist brisket of an place, but the flavor is pretty weak compared to a place like Blacks.

Lookin' for a Special Kind of Falafel Sandwich...
Have you tried Flying Falafel & Po-Boys? They may not have the exact sandwich you are talking about, but they are pretty good.
Sweet corn tamales?
I would *definitely* recommend trying a tamal de elote (sweet corn tamal, no filling and bigger and sweeter than most Mexican tamales you see in Austin) from El Zunzal or another Salvadorian restaurant (although I don't know of any others in Austin), they are delicious!! I am not sure that they will be the same thing you ate in Arizona or Colorado, and they come with crema mexicana not green chile, but they are very good. While you're there get a pupusa.
