Food Scene

You don't have to search far for great Tex-Mex in Austin, and Casa Garcia's is a South Austin favorite that my family and I have enjoyed for decades. Equipped with a full bar, tasty food, TVs to watch the game, and friendly staff, you really can't go wrong with this spot.

Austin and the rest of Central Texas have the absolute best BBQ available in Texas in my opinion, and for someone new to Austin, Iron Works is a great first stop. Located downtown in walking distance to nightlife & entertainment, this is a great spot for lunch or early dinner before taking a walk to explore downtown.
