"There's always a wait at the East Side staple Joe’s Bakery & Coffee Shop, and that’s because of the phenomenal breakfast tacos ensconced in fluffy housemade flour tortillas. Order the migas with chips that are still a little crispy, the tender carne guisada, and the glorious, crunchy bacon that somehow defies the very laws of pork belly physics. There’s no better cross-section of new and old Austin, when the Tex-Mex/Mexican diner is filled with East Side regulars, UT kids, construction workers, city officials, and families crammed into booths, all bobbing their heads to Tejano jukebox jams." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
