"The fried chicken sandwich at Pollos Las Abuelos isn’t just one of the best in Austin, it’s also one of the most unique. Taking inspiration from South Texas and Mexico, you’ll find toppings here like Arbol-garlic oil, queso, roasted serrano crema, and cotija cheese. And if you show up for their weekend special, you can even throw on some Mexican Coke-glazed bacon and a fried egg. Make sure to add on an order of Bandera Tots—covered in a drizzle of chipotle mayo, cotija, jalapeno crema, and Tajin. The small trailer is outside of a gas station south of Slaughter and Menchaca, just close enough to Valentina’s to get a nose-full of some great barbecue smells on your way in." - raphael brion, nicolai mccrary
