"Ask anyone who just came back from a trip to Austin about their highlights and you’ll probably hear some combination of the words “live music,” “Barton Springs,” and “margaritas.” While you may have to hum your own rendition of Willie Nelson’s "On the Road Again" to complete the trio, El Alma can help with the last two. Dry off, make yourself somewhat presentable, and then grab a seat on the rooftop patio. Order queso and an avocadorita while you think about how you “just can’t wait to get on the road again.”" - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs
