A must every time I go to Austin. I regret it later in the day but you can't beat it.

Just don't get the boudin. It was a sold B-. But the red beans and rice that comes with it were pretty darn good.

no shite....I made the same mistake, fricking awful. However, I still dont see the appeal of this place. It's good, but not great

I've never been to Habaneros but I've always wanted to try it. I might have to go now with all the recommendations here.

Foreign and Domestic - I've had some so-so experiences at this place. I had their "special" which was a huge steak and it was terrible. Lots of gristle and no flavor at all. If work was paying for that meal, I wouldn't have cared as much I guess.

Jack Allens - I've heard their brunch is awesome. I've only been for lunch, but their iron skillet enchiladas are probably the best enchiladas I've ever had.

Bangers - All their food sounded good, but the Duck, Fig, and Bacon sausage was pretty bland. Their sides are very good however.

Juan in a Million - It's a good lunch spot, but not the best food. It has some charm to it if Juan is there and you get the handshake. The Don Juan is good and cheap, but their food is just kind of OK. Their are far better mexican places.
