OK, that was the obvious pun, right? But brunch at Tacos n Tequila, in the Gables Pressler on 5th Street, is THAT GOOD. This is my plate at TnT.That’s ceviche, salad, fruit salad, mushrooms and yellow squash, polenta, migas, guacamole, and teeny-tiny homemade flour tortillas (heaven). These are the homemade sweet potato chips. Yep, sweet…

Austin: New Sunday Brunch at J. Black’s
It’s been awhile since I’ve ventured away from Moonshine or The Carillon for Sunday Brunch, something I take seriously. Those two perennial all-stars are just too good! But I got word today that there’s a new contender: J. Black’s. Before you write it off as the place you don’t want to revisit from the night…
I love Saturdays: CrossFit before Cupcakes, with a side of (512) Beer
Saturdays in Austin are sometimes lazy recovery days, and sometimes jam-packed adventure days. OK, who am I kidding, they’re always adventurous, sometimes I just choose to laze about instead of partaking. But this Saturday I won’t be missing out on any of these awesome events: 9-11:30am: The Movement @ RunTex on Lake Austin Blvd The…
More free drinks!
Pobrecito El Chilito, no pudo sobrevivir en el centro. Pues, algo bueno pasó porque ahora se tranforme a El Chile! What happened? The little chile couldn’t make it just selling tacos on 8th and Congree, so they expanded it to a full chile selling the same menu as the original and Far West locales. Until…

El Chilito is now downtown!
I had a friend who used to live near the original El Chilito (the taco-stand version of El Chile) on Manor Road and she used to talk almost incessantly about how good El Chilito was, and how she lived off their tacos in college. So when I found out that El Chilito Numero Dos is…
Training Run + Daily Mile
I’m sure you’re curious about things to do tonight, Tuesday. But Tuesdays are not for events. Except the Nike Human Race training run at Guero’s, which is an awesome event. Free tacos and drinks and friends and running routes, what more could you ask for?! Well, perhaps an online community of runners? Daily Mile is…
Review: El Chile North (you know, the free ‘ritas)
I was thoroughly impressed by El Chile North–I haven’t been to the East Austin one, but the food was superb. They serve chips and salsa in little bowls, which one of my companions deemed “classier than a big one.” I thought it just looked like more work for our server, but whatever. The salsa is…
Two To Try: Silhouette Sushi and Tacodeli
Tried two new restaurants last night and for lunch today, and both were stellar! Silhouette Sushi: a hidden gem, “cheap eats ’08” by citysearch.com Chances are you’ve walked past Silhouette and not noticed it, or you’ve seen it and never known what it was. Apparently downtown businessmen know all about it, but downtown revelers looking…
