Unique fusion tacos. Not authentic mexican but very delicious. Queso is bomb. Pro tip: you can order half orders of queso. 4 locations in town, but only 3 have indoor seating. The one on South Congress is in the middle of a fun area to walk and shop around.

Most popular in the west 6th district which is a little less rowdy than east 6th. This place has three levels each with its own music. It's so big the line never excedes 10 min. Many other restaurants and bars to walk to in this neighborhood.

Austin built a gigantic pool fed by an underground river. Water is cool/clear but chilly all year round. Dog friendly zone next door. Many people go sit on the riverbank poolside to tan and socialize. If you've never seen a half mile long pool check this out!
