The pollo frito at Tropicana on North Lamar is some of the best I've ever had. Half a chicken for $9.50 too. They serve great Cuban food in general. Highly recommend.

We got Whittington. Probably gonna be better than Cain.

I went to Santa Fe for Christmas and had an amazing time. The two restaurants that I would absolutely recommend to anyone are Sazon and Pasquals. Both were delicious and neither was crazy expensive. Meowwolf was also very interesting. We spent four hours there and enjoyed every minute of it. I will say that I thought Maria's was only OK, a lot of the food was pretty bland to me. Jambo was hit or miss. Their black bean curry soup was phenomenal but the goat stew was inedible. The Drury Inn is nothing fancy, but clean and well run, and it's right off the square and the price is right. They have free breakfast and free happy hour too. Thank yous to everyone in this thread who pointed me in the right direction.

I live right nearby Dan's. It is not dangerous at all. I've never seen needles. I've never heard of anyone getting assaulted, let alone seen it. Homeless people never attack children. 90%+ of violence towards children is from family members and family friends. I don't like the fact that there is a damn homeless camp under 290, but you and others like you are blowing things WAY out of proportion.

Exactly this! You eat in or immediately in the car. All fast food is terrible after a few minutes steaming itself in a paper bag. P Terry's fries are actually some of the better fast food fries out there (I love shoestring and Belgium style fries). Also, Sandy's only had a couple of good things to order: corn dogs and fried chicken sandwiches. They don't even sell fried chicken sandwiches anymore. They could close tomorrow and I wouldn't care at all.

Austin has been majority minority for over a decade. This is not even close to being accurate. Bad job.

Y'all bitching and moaning about Millennials and Gen Z need to get a grip. You are looking at a couple of little bitches on Twitter and getting your panties in a bunch. There are tens of thousands of students at UT, don't act like a group that large of Boomers or Gen Xs would have any fewer assholes.

I live nearby. Will need to go try it soon. Thanks for the rec.

Did you mean It's Italian Cucina on Lamar?
-
I thought Loro was terrible. You pay the same price for brisket as you would at Franklin, but you receive about 2 oz of meat. The sous vide chicken was literally mushy. The Mexican style corn in a cup was delicious, but I think it was $7! Just fucking ridiculous pricing. Aviary is across the street and is a million times better.

Jalen Green looks legit
-
Try their fried chicken banh mi if you haven't already. It's awesome and ridiculously large. I think that is one of the best restaurants downtown as far as the price to quality ratio is concerned.
-
Tigress is my favorite cocktail bar in town. Great prices relative to Austin, and super nice employees and owner too. You can definitely strike up a friendly conversation there if that is your MO.
-
There is a seafood purveyor at the Barton Creek Mall Farmer's Market on Saturdays that is top notch. Everything is super fresh and delicious.
-
Gary Clark Jr. is on the latest WTF. Good stuff about growing up in Austin and hanging out with some local greats.
-
My all-time favorite Longhorn to watch. Him and PJ Tucker.
-
Cool. I agree with you. I just wish you hadn't said that Brown was the first APB we've had in a long while when Ingram is on our roster now.
-
Ingram was better than Brown in High School at both running and receiving. I like Brown, but I think you and other are being dismissive of of Ingram.
-
He reminds me of the Oklahoma state qb, both the good and bad.
-
Warren looks fantastic, but he needs to learn to not leave his feet. He's going to get juked and pump-faked a lot in college if he doesn't.

What the hell does that mean?
-
I think you mean Arpeggio. Unfortunately, most of the good Mediterranean food is up north. Sarah's Mediterranean and Mediterranean Chef Cafe (makes Grandma's Hummus) are my favorites. Kebabalicious is also great for gyro/shwarma. Down south does have Jerusalem Pita (a food truck with the best baklava I've ever had) and Phoenicia Cafe though.
-
Gus' is the best I've had here. Definitely feel like we don't have very good fried chicken in Austin. The fact that Lucy's makes any money just blows my mind. It's not even mediocre, just plain bland.
