The Best Value Restaurants in Texas for 2025

"Hidden in East Austin down an alley decked with cafe lights and flowers, this spot intentionally emphasizes farmers and growers over itself; you order at a window and find a tightly focused menu exploring heirloom Mexican corn and specialty coffee. Pastries stand out — a blue-masa masa twinkie filled with chocolate and fermented chili ganache topped with piped campfire fluff — and a biscuit that takes 100 hours to make can be toasted with espresso butter and smoky, tangy green tomato jam or served as a breakfast sandwich. Masa pancakes, burritos and rotating specials round out the lineup." - The MICHELIN Guide
