The 21 Best Restaurants in Austin

"Families have come to this Tex-Mex institution for years and locals happily wait more than two hours for a table on weekend nights, hitting the serve-yourself salsa bar and passing time over margaritas. (Order like a regular and get a classic margarita, frozen or on the rocks—they're strong and one of the reasons the atmosphere is so lively here.) The combo plates of tacos, enchiladas or burritos served with a side of refried beans and rice are the move for most, with chile con queso to start. Try to sit on the patio if you stop by on a weekend so you can listen to the regular live music." - Mandy Ellis
