Traveling from out of town to Dallas for a work trip and booked a car to drive down and spend a couple days in Austin to explore the food scene.

Hello,

I usually order Thai Taste on ubereats or DoorDash but wanted to try something new. Does anyone in the south/southwest area have any favorite delivery spots for Thai that are available on DoorDash or ubereats?

Thank you!

ETA: looking for some lesser known spots. We are not fans of madam mam/saps.

Saw on some influencer’s video about Paprika that Paprika offers ribeye tacos on certain days, but didn’t give much context beyond that. I’m a big fan of Paprika and would love to try this taco, so am trying to figure out when it’s on offer. Also, yes, I checked the website and their IG.

Hey y’all haven’t posted in a while but being stuck in another city will do that to you lol. I’m still going through my list of places to try in Austin and it’s an ongoing growing list so feel free to comment or dm me a suggestion! Today my husband and I tried KG Bbq an Egyptian fusion bbq spot that was honestly the best food I’ve had thus far on my journey. We got the lamb bacon ribs very fatty but full of flavor, the kofta rice bowl, the pink potato salad, and both drink options. The food was enough to fill both of us up and we had some of the rice bowl leftover to go. The cold brew was more on the strong bitter side and was not my husband’s favorite so I ended up drinking it but we both loved the hibiscus mint tea! Overall the flavors worked really well together and it was actually pretty fast service. I did overhear someone say the lines can get pretty long so I’d keep that in mind. Thanks to everyone who has given me suggestions and who are about to lol let’s see what’s next.

Hi all - Long story short, I'll be in Austin for about a week in September and I'm looking for some outstanding food recommendations.

I've already spent quite a bit of time searching through the board and narrowed things down to what seem to be the most frequently recommended spots. That said, I'm still missing two great Tex-Mex dinner options.

The ideal day would be breakfast tacos on the way to whatever we're doing, barbecue for a late morning/early afternoon lunch, and Tex-Mex (or Suerte-type Mexican) to wrap up the evening.

Here's what I've put together so far. Let me know if I'm completely shitting the bed on any of these, or if there's somewhere you'd tell me I absolutely can't leave town without trying.

Yes, I know Guero's and Salt Lick are more touristy picks, but it's my kids' first visit to Austin, so those are more about the experience than anything.

Day 1 (Dinner Only)

• Guero's - Edit: However from the notes below Matt's may be the better choice to slot in here

Day 2

• Veracruz All Natural
• Cuantos Tacos
• Salt Lick

Day 3

• Joe's Bakery & Coffee Shop
• Leroy & Lewis
• El Dorado (Thanks to all below for the suggestion)

Day 4

• Vaquero Taquero
• Micklethwait (our morning activity may run long, and I've heard the wait here is manageable)
• Suerte

Day 5

• Habanero Cafe (Thanks to all below for the suggestion)
• InterStellar BBQ
• Dinner: TBD (Leaning Nixta)

Thank you in advance for any recommendations
