Best Things to Eat in Austin

1. Tacos at Veracruz All Natural

This spot ranked No. 2 on our list of the 50 Best Tacos in America. So, it’s easily the spot with some of the best tacos in Austin. The sisters behind Veracruz All Natural, Maritza and Reyna, have been serving locals some of the best authentic Mexican tacos for years out of food trucks. Recently, they’ve upgraded to brick-and-mortar stores, which we’d definitely put on our list of unmissable things to do in Austin if you’re ever in the area for a visit.

2. Robs at Kerlin BBQ

They serve up some of the best BBQ in America and their mixed platter is the stuff of legend. Great brisket, sausage and pulled pork, but the pork ribs are a thing of pure beauty.

Cooked slow and low, the meat falls off the bone as soon as you pick them up. Quite possibly the best ribs you will ever taste.

3. Grilled Cheese Sandwich at Noble Sandwich Co.

Want a downright droolworthy sandwich in Texas? Noble Sandwich Co. has created unique grilled sandwiches like the Thai Chicken, the Smoked Duck Pastrami, and the infamous Noble Pig Sandwich (which gathers spicy ham, pulled pork, provolone, and bacon).

As well as their store (which serves amazing breakfast sandwiches on homemade biscuits), they also have a Food Truck which roams around the city for sandwiches on the go.

4. Ice Cream at Lick Honest Ice Creams

They make all their own ice cream with 100% Mill-King milk & cream and are known for their vegan flavours, which have been a big hit.

They’ve been going strong since 2011 and change their flavours with the seasons. Once you taste it once you’ll be hooked for life.

5. Pizza at Bufalina

A traditional pizza with some funky ingredients makes Bufalina so special. Choose summer squash, salsa verde, pickled onion and peanuts or a harissa lamb pie.

The best news you’ll hear today? All pizzas are 50% off from 4-5.30pm, but just remember that seating is on a first come, first seated basis so it does get busy.

6. Burgers at Pool Burger

Order your burgers from an airstream and sit outside while drinking tiki-themed drinks on one of the nicest terraces in the city. Everything about this place oozes cool, but the burgers are the star of the show.

7. Eggs Benedict at Forthright

Some seriously high-end cooking where they make honest food from scratch, prepared well, using quality ingredients. As an added bonus you get to wash it down with some of the best coffee in the city.

All the classics are on the menu, as well as some of their own signature breakfast dishes. As soon as you have the first bite of your meal in here you will instantly fall in love with the place.
