The 20 Best Downtown Austin Restaurants - Austin - The Infatuation

"Casino El Camino is essentially a dive bar that slings out excellent burgers, hot dogs, and wings. It’s dark in here—don’t be surprised if it takes your eyes a few minutes to adjust. You’ll probably spend that time waiting in line to order anyway, because the “secret” that is Casino El Camino’s thick, char-grilled burgers is out. Whether you want to try one of the best burgers in Austin, or just hide out and sip cold beer, there are plenty of reasons to visit Casino, including the small patio that kind of feels like a tiny tropical resort, complete with Saltillo tiled floors, fountains, and a vibrant Aztec mural on the wall. It’s a pretty sharp contrast from the space inside, but a great escape from Sixth Street." - nicolai mccrary
