What are the best places to eat in Austin? Please include fine dining places for evenings, and dives for lunch.

Uchi for sushi
La Condesa for upscale mexican/fish/etc. Great place
Salt Lick for Bbq (Driftwood, Tx)
Oasis (more for drinks than food)
Fonda San Miguel for Mexican
Barley Swine for tapas/small plates
Lambert's for Bbq

There are no must haves in Austin, as it's a vastly overrated city and a damn crappy food town.


That said, the barbacoa taco's at Maria's Taco Xpress and the Especial De Carne Asada at El Taquito.

Curra's, Torchy's. Love them both.

Blue Dahlia is a good place for French style stuff and you can eat in a garden patio out pack that's not too fancy but still nice.

Clay Pit is great Indian, but can be had elsewhere.

For coffee shops, I like Epoch up north and Ruta Maya down south.

We loved Garage Mahal. It's an indian food trailer, but the outside set up is more like a restaurant.

For breakfast, we hit up the Torchy's taco's food trailer and it was really good.

We wanted to hit up Barley Swine and East Side Show Room, but didn't have time.

Haven't eaten at a whole lot of places in Austin, but I definitely recommend Home Slice if you're in the mood for pizza.
