No More Waiting Until the Weekend Because El Burro Serves Brunch Daily
Editor’s Note: El Burro closed suddenly in July 2017. I love checking out new restaurants because I like to experience a restaurant in its infancy stage, when it’s still learning to “walk.” It can be rewarding to watch a local restaurant come into its own. I find that younger restaurants are also more likely to take […]

“He goes off every hour,” Jurassic Car Wash owner John Borek told me as we watched an animatronic pterodactyl raise its wings while cawing toward the traffic on South Congress. Underneath the dinosaur, a line of customers wash their cars with soap that smells like piña colada. It’s these unique details that make Jurassic Car […]

Situated on the same street that bears its name, this South Austin brewery looks to deliver well-crafted, quaffable beer […]

Guide to Food Trucks on South 1st Street in Austin
Truck, trailer or Airstream, food on wheels plays a huge role in Austin’s culture. Sometimes it can be difficult to explore the food truck scene, since many of these mini eateries don’t have consistent hours of operation. But the good thing about food trucks is they are everywhere! One of my favorite streets to explore is South […]
