Mighty Cone a Disappointment?
Thank you so much for the detailed and engrossing description. Now I have to try this myself to see just what the hullabaloo is...thanks again...I'm afraid, this is like truth or dare! Where on Congress is it?
There Can Be Only One:Your Single Favorite Taco In Austin.
Torchy's is two thumbs up! The Democrat? YES! I like Torchy's....
Tacos, Migas, and Tex-Mex: Help Me ID These Restaurants
Mark, Mark, Mark...your quest is great...the path is long and often delicious. Your decision rests on one thing (well...a couple of things really but...) do you want fine dining? A wine list? A table with chairs? Does your food have to be served on a plate or in a styrofoam box? ALL this needs to be taken into account, Mark. There are numerous Taco stands throughout our fair city-most of them are really very, very good! I can attest to that since my last job had me driving all over Austin and surrounding areas, with little time for a formal lunch, they were my safe haven. I like Torchy's! They've got an awesome $6 burrito! I digress...no one mentioned the best place yet....The Texican Cafe at 11940 Manchaca 512-282-9094 I know, I know there's another one on Pecan Park but I've yet to eat there so I can't say anything about that locale. As if your list wasn't extensive enough, I'd like to share more of my faves: El Sol y la Luna - Casa Garcia's - El Patio - Azul Tequila - Baby Acapulco - Curras - El Gallo - La Fuente's - Matt's El Rancho - Maudie's.....I'll leave it at that, Mark. Good luck and have a good time!
fried catfish
Cherry Creek Catfish on Manchaca has some pretty good catfish. I worked there for several years and never tired of it. At one time we served a fried catfish breaded with crushed corn tortilla chips served with pico de gallo - that was GOOD! You can order baskets of fillets or a whole fish. They have pretty good fried oyster po' boys
Any Good Seafood in Austin?
New England style clam chowder is a milk or cream based chowder while New York or Manhattan style has a clear tomato based broth. There's Joe's Crab Shack, Lighthouse Oyster Bar and Grill in Wimberly, Boathouse on 620, Mariscos Grill, MariscosTampico and Mariscos Seafood for Mexican style and then there's always Red Lobster...
