"Joe’s Bakery has been open for 60 years, and there’s still a wait almost every weekend morning. Everyone’s here for the same thing—carne guisada, huevos rancheros, barbacoa, and the world’s crispiest bacon (call our bluff, we dare you) served on the fluffiest flour tortillas in town. This is an old-school joint with a lively, bare-bones dining room set to a soundtrack of Tejano jukebox jams. It’s a perfect cross-section of Austin throughout the years. Show up during the week and you can probably walk right in." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
