The Best Splurge-Worthy Austin Restaurants

"James Beard Award-winning chef Iliana de la Vega serves dishes from Oaxaca at her South Lamar Mexican restaurant. Expect items like duck breast served in mole negro, tlayuda oaxaquena, and ensalada a la jamaica. Most of the dishes in the restaurant are gluten-free. Book reservations online; there are indoor and outdoor dining areas." - Erin Russell, Nadia Chaudhury
