East

Angie's Mexican Restaurant

Good Tex-Mex with its own loyal customers. It is in an older house on a hill with a good view of downtown. They also have outdoor seating but the deck needs some updating.

Fantastic restaurant in an old house, complete with their own vegetable and herb garden, which the seasonal menu revolves around. The menu includes salads, sandwiches, pasta, fish, beef, pork, shrimp, enchiladas. Vegetarian dishes.

Sam's Bar-B-Cue

Open until 3AM and on the east side, which works well after leaving 6th St.

La Reyna

This is also good Tex-Mex with fresh flour tortillas. The waitstaff is not as friendly but the word about their really good food hasn't gotten out so you never have to wait.

Cisco's Restaurant and Bakery

President LBJ's favorite breakfast spot is still going strong. This historic eastside spot offers outstanding migas, huevos rancheros and fajitas, and don't miss the fresh biscuits.

Authentic Colombian food; absolutely delicious. Try the yucca root yuca and the empanadas.

Mi Madres

It's worth it for the deliciously cheap tacos. The staff is friendly and the small restaurant is filled with regulars. Nice patio; they also serve lunch. Amazing migas as well as chips and hot sauce.

El Zunzal Restaurant

Tamales in banana leaves make a meal with just one or two. Pupusas, mondongo, salpicon, yuca, various tacos, and aguas frescas round off the experience.

Another Tex-Mex restaurant with a nice atmosphere and a shaded patio. The owner is always there to shake hands and meet the customers. The Don Juan breakfast plate is an Austin staple, especially if you are feeling the effects of last night's partying.

This is a must try. Everything is organic and vegetarian and delicious. They also offer yoga classes and a vitamin store. Also they have all natural baked goods. Traditional Tex-Mex breakfasts tofu migas are done here with a vegetarian twist.
