Heading to Austin in a few weeks for a concert. We're only gonna be in town for less than 24 hours so we're trying to be really efficient with our time. Plus we've been to Austin many times. The show is near South Congress, and we're staying on South Congress. I'm sure we'll get some drinks at the bar at Hotel San Jose. But does anyone have some casual food recs in that area beyond the average Guero's type places?

Home Slice - pizza
Vespaio - more upscale italian
Enoteca Vespaio - right next door, more casual italian
Hopdoddy - Burger Bar, one of the best burgers I've ever had. Love this place and has good tap selection. Get your burger medium rare.

That's about it for that area if you don't want to drive and want casual. Curra's (interior mexican) is not far away but I wouldn't walk it. South 1st also has a ton of good places, and not far away.

So you mean really average places.

Was there about a month ago. Had Torchys, Hopdoddy, and Stiles Switch. None of them impressed me all that much.

Hopdaddy is probably the most overrated burger place ever.
