Күн бұрынWelcome to Austin, Texas! Over Thanksgiving we had a chance to spend 24 hours in our favorite Texas city: Austin! This was a very food heavy day as we explored the city with our Austin local friend, Josh, who showed us his favorite hangout spots in Austin, TX. Join us as we eat breakfast tacos, drink Austin's best coffee, and more! Let's get going!

Hey y'all! We're Chris + Sara (or as you know us, Let’s Be Us), a husband and wife digital nomad travel duo currently working and traveling full time with our pup, Kramer. We've always dreamed of traveling full time, and in May of 2018 we took the leap and made it happen! Today we're balancing work and fun everywhere between the Pacific and Atlantic. From hiking and cycling to tacos and coffee, we're trying to see and experience as much of this world as we can! While our home is currently on wheels in our DIY Sprinter van, our travels take us all around the world.

Beautiful too see how my city has grown as a Native born and raise in this beautiful city it always fill my heart of joy to see how many people love this city b/c It reminds me of my childhood when Austin was barely blowing up. Breaks my heart that Austin sadly became too expensive for a lot of us natives💔, but glad that at least it’s getting the recognition it always deserved 512 till I die❤️🤘🏼 Y que vive Mexico 🇲🇽

It's a different place. Grew up in Austin in the 80's and genuinely miss what It used to be. It's so bizarre visiting nowadays being disoriented with all the growth, and seeing barrios that have been scooped up by the wealthy. I suppose that's the way things are, nothing is static and everything changes! Tacos and BBQ are still on point, but there are about a 999,999 better places than Juan in a million.

As someone who lives in Austin but has traveled a ton I always say the same thing. Texas BBQ is the only thing bad about Texas. It's just not as good as any other specialty BBQ in the country. I'd rather go a state up or over and Austin's BBQ is the worst. They're best barbecue is just good not even great. Austin has some KICK BUTT ethnic food though. Also some awesome bakeries! Korean BBQ is good in Austin also! Lin Asian bar is GREAT dim sum. Dong nai has the best pho in town taste of Ethiopia II is a VERY well priced and delicious experience! Ramen tatusya (I probably misspelled that) is THE best ramen I have EVER had! Uchi is expensive but a great experience for the money. Avoid pluckers in Oakhill my wife and I got sick there recently. Anyways the good places I've been to are usually ethnic there's also a good swedish bakery down the road from Lin Asian bar. There's some incredible other bakeries in Austin but those are for you to find and me to know haha!

I've never stopped in Austin TX. About 15 or so years ago that highway that goes by Austin where you can take the highway up or down was all under construction. I was driving a Chevy Silverado diesel dullie and pulling a Holiday Rambler Presidential 5th wheel through that area. Concrete abutment on both sides, one lane traffic. My knuckles are still prolly much whiter than they were before that drive. I think my hands had to be surgically removed from gripping the steering wheel. Ha ha ha. Last few times, we took the toll road. Ahhhh. 😁❤😁

Places like Juan in a Million ARE good but I see this one listed in just about every Austin travel guide 😂 All the other locals are probably gonna disagree with me but you CANNOT beat Phil's Icehouse for a burger, Enchiladas Y Mas OR Matt's El Rancho for Tex Mex and margaritas, and Tumble22 for some chicken. A visit to Adelbert's brewery is always quite refreshing - get the Tripel B if you aren't sure - and if you are lucky you can catch (or request) a quick weekend tour. I also recommend checking out Central Market for some delish travel snacks or cook out food AND be sure to pick up some Ruta Maya coffee while you are there. (Chameleon cold brew if it's summertime, it will knock your socks off.)

Having been in Austin since 1977, if you try BBQ at La Barbecue definitely have to have to have the brisket or beef rib. The pork ribs there are good also. Black's BBQ is great also and so is Stiles Switch. About 15 other great BBQ places also. Franklins is phenomenal but the line starts about 8:00 a.m. every morning, so it's a challenge. LOTS of unique coffee shops and breweries. Good Mexican food at Curra's Grill on Oltorf. Good live music at The Saxon Pub. And don't fall in the trap of going to 6th St. Lots of punks and not good now. Go to W. 6th, Rainey St., 2nd St. District, South Congress, or The Domain. Hope this helps.

OK, Juan in a Million is the 'safe' white kids joint on the East Side. (But still not as insufferable as Torchy's.) If you want proper diner/divey texmex food, try Los Comales, Joe's Bakery, La Casita, Arandas, Los Hornitos, La Mexicana, or Beto's. I'll take a lager or IPA over a sour ANY day. Color me basic, too. Good to see you didn't do Franklin's. That place is pitifully overrated. Not BAD, but not worth a 2hr wait. An Austin CLASSIC is Sam's BBQ on E. 12th.
