A Complete Guide to Austin Restaurants Featured in Movies and TV - Eater Austin

"In Director Quentin Tarantino’s Death Proof, after moving to Austin, Arlene aka “Butterfly” (Vanessa Ferlito) meets up with renowned local DJ Jungle Julia (Sydney Tamiia Poitier) and best friend Shanna (Jordan Ladd) for a few margaritas at South Congress Tex-Mex restaurant Guero’s. This gritty grindhouse exploitation film features the devilishly handsome Stuntman Mike (Kurt Russell) who stalks the girls around town in his 1969 black Dodge Charger. On the front patio of Guero’s, Butterfly notices his trademark vehicle slowly creeping by her before he takes off speeding down South Congress. Pickup and delivery orders can be placed online. The restaurant has reopened for indoor and patio dine-in service." - Marisa Mirabal
