    ISO Latin Owned Restaurants/Bars/Coffee shops

    Please leave Latino owned restaurants/bars/coffeeshops. They don't necessarily need to serve Latin food, but would be cool if so!

    Wheatsville Co-Op

    I've never been, what are y'alls experiences? How do you feel they compare to Central Market and HEB? My top concerns are produce life and price, but I've also been thinking about that anti capitalist life. A co-op seems to be a good way of putting my money to better use. Are they generally a good company that treats their employees well?

    Best Falafel?

    Quick search shows we haven’t had a falafel thread in a while. My favorite was the falafel sandwich at TLV in fareground, but they’ve been closed for a while. I heard that Ezov (also from the Emmer and Rye family) has good falafel. Any other recs? Preferably downtown/east side but will travel for the best.

    Tsuke Edomae Reservations

    I moved to Austin 3 months ago and have been wanting to try Tsuke, but based on everything I’ve read on Reddit it seems it’s pretty much impossible to get a reservation unless you know a ‘regular’. Any chance a regular on here would be willing to make a reservation on my behalf? Happy to buy you a bottle of sake (or two) as a thank you!!! Trying my luck here…

    Japanese fluffy pancakes

    Does anyone know of anywhere in Austin TX I can get Japanese style fluffy pancakes? I really really really want to try some but don’t care to put in the work in my own kitchen (mostly because I wake up too hungry to put forth that effort in the morning).

    Any recommendations would be very appreciated! 🙌

    Fancy/fancy-ish restaurant for an 11 yo

    For his birthday last year my partner and I took our then-10 year old to uchiko because he wanted to try a fancy restaurant. He loved it, and we've watched to try taking him out again to a nice restaurant, especially because our younger kid (who is a picky eater) has entered sleepover age so we have occasional weekends with just the 11 yo.

    Any suggestions for restaurants we can try? Looking for something fancy but accessible for a developing palate.

    Where Can I Find the Best Irish Breakfast in Austin? 🇮🇪

    Hey y’all,

    I’m missing home (originally from Ireland) and on the hunt for an authentic Irish breakfast here in Austin. I recently tried the breakfast at BD Riley’s, and while it was good, it just didn’t quite hit the spot. I’m craving something closer to what I’d find back home – the real deal with proper rashers, sausages, black and white pudding, and maybe even a decent pot of tea.

    Does anyone know a spot in Austin that does a truly authentic Irish fry-up? Or any hidden gems that come close? I’d love to hear your suggestions – I need a taste of home!

    Thanks in advance, Sláinte! 🍳

    Tex-Mex/Mexican for someone used to Sonoran style (Tucson, AZ)

    Hey all,

    I am Tucson, AZ born and raised. My husband and I are taking a trip to Austin in late April, and we definitely want to check out some Tex-Mex style food. We’re used to Sonoran Mexican food and we can’t wait to try out what you all have going on in Texas! We’d also be cool to check out Austin’s take on Mexican food in general as well. We’d love to check out what locals love and avoid the over-hyped tourist spots.

    Edit: I should say that we will be staying downtown around Butler Metro Park. We’ll have a car and are willing to drive.

    Bottomless drip coffee

    I just saw the news that Genuine Joe coffeehouse is moving into a bakery and closing down their location on West Anderson. Not sure what that transition will look like so I’m wondering what are some other good coffee shops etc with bottomless drip coffee? And not necessarily unlimited coffee all day for a low low price, but any places where you can get a refill or two of hot drip coffee in an actual coffee mug? Thanks.
