Among the best food in Austin. American/Tex Mex focus which isn’t my favorite but they use high-quality ingredients and great flavor combinations!
This unassuming place has good affordable Arab food and if you look closely you’ll notice pleasant art on the walls and the next-door Hookah lounge that is quite nice.

True Tex Mex! They serve traditional Texan food and drinks until 2am. It is extremely affordable. It’s not bad (it won’t be the best food you’ve ever had but it’s good) and a favorite with tourists so I can comfortably recommend it to you. :) 12 min from AirBnB. Sometimes they have live drag shows, trivia, or sports games on the TV in the background.
